20080309893Contamination prevention system, lithographic apparatus, radiation source, and method for manufacturing a device - A contamination prevention system is constructed and arranged to prevent material from propagating with radiation into a lithographic apparatus. The contamination prevention system includes a rotatable carrier provided with a plurality of generally radially outwardly extending blades. The blades are constructed and arranged to absorb or deflect the material. The system also includes a stationary shaft, and a bearing constructed and arranged to rotate the rotatable carrier and the blades around the shaft. The rotatable carrier is provided with a space for at least partially receiving a portion of the shaft.12-18-2008
20090001288Lithographic apparatus, radiation system, device manufacturing method, and radiation generating method - A lithographic apparatus includes a radiation system constructed to provide a beam of radiation from radiation emitted by a radiation source. The radiation system includes a contaminant trap configured to trap material emanating from the radiation source. The contaminant trap includes a contaminant engaging surface arranged in the path of the radiation beam that receives the material emanating from the radiation source during propagation of the radiation beam in the radiation system. The radiation system also includes a liquid tin cooling system constructed to cooling the contaminant trap with liquid tin. The apparatus includes an illumination system configured to condition the radiation beam, a support constructed to support a patterning device configured to impart the radiation beam with a pattern in its cross-section, a substrate table constructed to hold a substrate, and a projection system configured to project the patterned radiation beam onto a target portion of the substrate.01-01-2009
20090073401Lithographic apparatus with rotation filter device - A lithographic apparatus including a filter device is disclosed. The filter device has a plurality of foils attached to a holder which is able to rotate around a rotation axis. The foils are arranged substantially parallel to the rotation axis. The foils comprise a uni-directional carbon-fiber composite material selected from the group consisting of carbon-carbon composite (C-C composite) and carbon-silicon carbide composite (C—SiC composite). During operation, the filter device rotates and filters out debris from a radiation source, such as a Sn plasma source. Such a filter device per se may be provided.03-19-2009
20090323038OBJECT SUPPORT POSITIONING DEVICE AND LITHOGRAPHIC APPARATUS - An object support positioning device configured to position an object support includes first and second side-beams having respective first and second sliders mounted thereon, first and second motors configured to move the first and second sliders along each respective side beam, a cross beam mounted proximate first and second ends thereof to the first and second sliders respectively and having a third slider mounted thereto, the cross-beam and the first and second slider being mounted together, and a third motor configured to move the third slider longitudinally along the cross-beam, the third slider being adapted to support the one object support. A fluid bearing is provided in at least one of the first, second and third sliders, the fluid bearing including multiple bearing surfaces to exert reaction forces in a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the sliding direction of the at least one slider.12-31-2009
20100149506Actuator System, Lithographic Apparatus, Method of Controlling the Position of a Component and Device Manufacturing Method - An actuator system is provided that is configured to move a component relative to a base of the actuator system. The actuator system may include first and second actuating elements, each including two sections of material that are joined to each other and have different coefficients of thermal expansion. The two actuating elements may be configured such that if the temperature of one is increased it applies a force on the component in a direction that is opposite to the force applied by the other actuating element if its temperature is increased. The actuator system may further include at least one power supply configured to provide independently controllable heating to the first and second actuating elements.06-17-2010

20080196405Internal Combustion Engine Control Method - The invention relates to a method for controlling an internal combustion engine (08-21-2008
20090199824METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN ENGINE PROVIDED WITH AN EXHAUST GAS RECYCLING LOOP - An engine control, and in particular a method for controlling an engine including a low-pressure exhaust gas recycling loop. The method adjusts a predetermined engine operating parameter by controlling the position of an exhaust gas recycling valve, which is placed in the loop, for determining whether the predetermined measured quantity of the valve respects a predetermined criteria, and controls the position of an exhaust shutter, which is arranged outside the loop, when the quantity does not respect the criteria.08-13-2009
20090217663METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING SUPERCHARGING AIR OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A control method including regulating air pressure prevailing in an engine intake manifold around a setpoint value. The regulating includes a slow regulation loop, a fast regulating loop, and a limitation of pressure upstream of a turbine of a supercharger. The supercharging pressure limitation is implemented when the pressure upstream of the turbine exceeds a predetermined threshold value.09-03-2009
20110112745SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE FRESH AIR AND BURNT GASES INTRODUCED INTO AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE DURING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN THE PURGING OF A NITROGEN OXIDES TRAP AND THE REGENERATION OF A PARTICULATE FILTER - Method for controlling the power plant of a motor vehicle with partial exhaust gas recirculation in which the fresh air flow rate and the partially recirculated gases flow rate are regulated either on a rich mixture control structure or on a lean mixture control structure and in which the flow rates are set, on the rich mixture control structure, to the setpoint values equal to the flow rate setpoint values of the lean mixture control structure during a transition from a rich mixture control structure to a lean mixture control structure.05-12-2011
