  • Patent number: 12212579
    Abstract: In overview, a computer-implemented method of transmitting data in a data stream from a first device to a second device is disclosed. The data stream is encrypted before transmission from the first device to the second device, and a location of the data in the data stream is indicated to the second device. The location may be a pre-shared location between the first and second devices, or the first device may transmit the location of the data to the second device. The second device decrypts the encrypted data stream, identifies the data in the data stream based on the location, and encrypts the identified data in the data stream.

  • Patent number: 11927577
    Abstract: A chemical indicator solution, an apparatus, and a method for determining concentration of a chemical analyte is provided. In particular, the apparatus provides a simplified and low cost way to determine that a fluid sample contains a minimum recommended concentration of a chemical. Rather than using complex and expensive components or error-prone manual methods to prepare the solution and measure chemical concentrations, the apparatus may allow for the automatic measuring and mixing of the chemical components of the resulting solution through the unique geometry and layout of the apparatus. The resulting solution may contain a chemical indicator which allows for the detection of the concentration of the chemical analyte within the resulting solution using techniques such as color analysis.

  • Patent number: 11720028
    Abstract: A measurement illumination optical unit guides illumination light into an object field of a projection exposure apparatus for EUV lithography. The illumination optical unit has a field facet mirror with a plurality of field facets and a pupil facet mirror with a plurality of pupil facets. The latter serve for overlaid imaging in the object field of field facet images of the field facets. A field facet imaging channel of the illumination light is guided via any one field facet and any one pupil facet. A field stop specifies a field boundary of an illumination field in the object plane. The illumination field has a greater extent along one field dimension than any one of the field facet images. At least some of the field facets include tilt actuators which help guide the illumination light into the illumination field via various field facets and one and the same pupil facet.
