Patent number: 10001631Abstract: A film element of an EUV-transmitting wavefront correction device is arranged in a beam path and includes a first layer of first layer material having a first complex refractive index n1=(1??1)+iß1, with a first optical layer thickness, which varies locally over the used region in accordance with a first layer thickness profile, and a second layer of second layer material having a second complex refractive index n2=(1??2)+iß2, with a second optical layer thickness, which varies locally over the used region in accordance with a second layer thickness profile. The first and second layer thickness profiles differ. The deviation ?1 of the real part of the first refractive index from 1 is large relative to the absorption coefficient ß1 of the first layer material and the deviation ?2 of the real part of the second refractive index from 1 is small relative to the absorption coefficient ß2 of the second layer material.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2014Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Carl Zeiss SMT GmbHInventors: Boris Bittner, Norbert Wabra, Sonja Schneider, Ricarda Maria Schoemer, Hendrik Wagner, Christian Wald, Rumen Iliew, Thomas Schicketanz, Toralf Gruner, Walter Pauls, Holger Schmidt, Matthias Roesch

Patent number: 9832610Abstract: When individual persons or vehicles move through a transportation network, they are likely to be both actively and passively creating information that reflects their location and current behavior. In this patent, we propose a system that makes complete use of this information. First, through a broad web of sensors, our system collects and stores the full range of information generated by travelers. Next, through the use of previously-stored data and active computational analysis, our system deduces the identity of individual travelers. Finally; using advanced data-mining technology, our system selects useful information and transmits it back to the individual, as well as to third-party users; in short, it forms the backbone for a variety of useful location-related end-user applications.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2016Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Frederick S.

Publication number: 20170078317Abstract: An architecture is provided for a widely distributed security system (SDI-SCAM) that protects computers at individual client locations, but which constantly pools and analyzes information gathered from machines across a network in order to quickly detect patterns consistent with intrusion or attack, singular or coordinated. When a novel method of attack has been detected, the system distributes warnings and potential countermeasures to each individual machine on the network. Such a warning may potentially include a probability distribution of the likelihood of an intrusion or attack as well as the relative probabilistic likelihood that such potential intrusion possesses certain characteristics or typologies or even strategic objectives in order to best recommend and/or distribute to each machine the most befitting countermeasure(s) given all presently known particular data and associated predicted probabilistic information regarding the prospective intrusion or attack.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2016Publication date: March 16, 2017Inventors: Yael Gertner, Frederick S.M.
