  • Patent number: 12117731
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for producing a mirror of a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, a first mirror part and a second mirror part being provided, which are in contact in the region of a first connecting surface of the first mirror part and a second connecting surface of the second mirror part. For forming a durable connection between the first mirror part and the second mirror part, the first mirror part and the second mirror part are heated up to a holding temperature of at least 400° C. and are kept at the holding temperature during a holding time. After the holding time has elapsed, the first mirror part and the second mirror part are cooled down to a first cooling temperature at a first cooling rate of less than or equal to 100 K/h.

  • Publication number: 20240218438
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of causing enzymatic digestion of in vitro synthesised nucleic acid (especially DNA), the method comprising the steps of: (a) combining reagents, in the presence of a temporarily substantially inactive nuclease, to form in vitro synthesised nucleic acid; and (b) subsequently permitting or causing the substantially inactive nuclease to regain substantial nuclease activity after a period of time has elapsed sufficient to allow detection of the in vitro synthesised nucleic acid, such that the in vitro synthesised nucleic acid is digested by the nuclease.

  • Patent number: 11999367
    Abstract: Dynamic throttle pedal filtering of a vehicle is provided. An automated throttle filtering system may be included in the vehicle that may operate to filter throttle pedal input based on detection of a rough driving surface. The rough driving surface detection may be based on an evaluation of wheel speed signals or an indication of traction loss. The throttle pedal input may be filtered corresponding to rough driving surface magnitude values determined based on the wheel speed signals. For example, filtered torque demand values may be determined based on the rough driving surface magnitude values and included in a torque demand request communicated to the vehicle's powertrain system. The resulting torque output may modulate an undesirable oscillating torque demand that may be generated in relation to operation of the vehicle on a rough driving surface.
