The sleeve insert surrounds a passage opening extending along the longitudinal axis, and comprises several electrically conductive electrode elements configured to generate an electrostatic field within the passage opening. The ring magnets are arranged circumferentially around an inner yoke shell and surrounded by an outer yoke shell; the inner yoke shell in turn surrounds a central portion of the sleeve insert. The ring magnets are magnetized such that the two magnetic poles are oriented towards the inner and outer yoke shell, respectively.

Abstract: In the case of devices with a program-controlled circuit arrangement operating program instructions are necessary for their operation. In order to reduce the storage space necessary for this, in the case of devices which have a connection to a data transmission network in any case, the operating program instructions are not held in the device, but loaded via the data transmission network. For this purpose the circuit arrangement has a start procedure memory, in which is stored a start procedure set up in such a way that for its execution a processor unit connects up via the data transmission network by means of the interface to an operating program server and from this loads operating program instructions into a main memory connected to the processor unit.

Abstract: In the case of devices with a program-controlled circuit arrangement operating program instructions are necessary for their operation. In order to reduce the storage space necessary for this, in the case of devices which have a connection (6) to a data transmission network (7) in any case, the operating program instructions are not held in the device, but loaded via the data transmission network (7). For this purpose the circuit arrangement (1) has a start procedure memory (3), in which is stored a start procedure set up in such a way that for its execution a processor unit (2) connects up via the data transmission network (7) by means of the interface (6) to an operating program server and from this loads operating program instructions into a main memory (5) connected to the processor unit (2).

Abstract: With regard to the asynchronous transmission of digital values between a transmitter, from which the digital values are transmitted at a first frequency and a receiver (A, B), in which the received digital values are further processed and in particular outputted at a second frequency, it is never possible to harmonize the first frequency with the second frequency. In consequence as a result of frequency differences never to be harmonized an overflow or under-run of the transmitted digital values occurs.

Abstract: In a particle projection lithography system, an alignment system is used to determine alignment parameters to measure the position and shape of an optical image of a pattern of structures formed in a mask and imaged onto a target by means of a broad particle beam, by means of an apparatus with a plurality of alignment marks adapted to produce secondary radiation upon irradiation with radiation of said particle beam. In order to allow for a variation of the alignment parameters along the optical axis, the alignment marks are positioned outside the aperture of the alignment system for the part of the beam that generates said optical image, arranged at positions to coincide with particle reference beams projected through reference beam forming structures provided on the mask while said optical image is projected onto the target, and situated on at least two different levels over the target as seen along the directions of the respective reference beams.
