Abstract: A user equipment (UE) employing different radio access technologies (RATs) concurrently or successively provides the UE the opportunity to select a particular RAT to support an access service used by one or more software applications of the UE. A RAT operational control scheme provides for opportunistic enablement and disablement of a RAT and/or intra-RAT configuration so as to provide sufficient uplink and downlink throughput for supported software applications while reducing unnecessary power consumption by the UE, which often is battery powered.

Abstract: A photolithography method includes instructing an optical source to produce a pulsed light beam; scanning the pulsed light beam across a wafer of a lithography exposure apparatus to expose the wafer with the pulsed light beam; during scanning of the pulsed light beam across the wafer, receiving a characteristic of the pulsed light beam at the wafer; receiving a determined value of a physical property of a wafer for a particular pulsed light beam characteristic; and based on the pulsed light beam characteristic that is received during scanning and the received determined value of the physical property, modifying a performance parameter of the pulsed light beam during scanning across the wafer.

Abstract: An earphone signal check device includes a pin inserted in an earphone hole of any electronic appliances, an electronic circuit, a signal indicating lamp lit up by the electronic circuit when it receives a signal coming through the earphone hole and the pin, and converting the signal into a type of signal to be perceived by a user, such as flickering of an indicating lamp(s) or vibration. Thus the earphone signal check device can be used as a signal indicating device, and a signal or use condition check device.

Abstract: A power source supplier usable in an automobile includes a body, a power supply terminal connected to a rear end of the body and able to insert in a cigarette lighter socket in an automobile. A tail base is fixed on a front side of the body, and a coupling member fixed on an end surface of t he tail base and having an intermediate hollow space for another components to couple with therein. Any other components having the size and specifications as the coupling member can be applied to couple with the couple member so that a user can choose one of them.
