In order to determine whether an exposure apparatus is outputting the correct dose of radiation and its projection system is focusing the radiation correctly, a test pattern is used on a mask for printing a specific marker onto a substrate. This marker is then measured by an inspection apparatus, such as a scatterometer, to determine whether there are errors in focus and dose and other related properties. The test pattern is configured such that changes in focus and dose may be easily determined by measuring the properties of a pattern that is exposed using the mask. The test pattern may be a 2D pattern where physical or geometric properties, e.g., pitch, are different in each of the two dimensions. The test pattern may also be a one-dimensional pattern made up of an array of structures in one dimension, the structures being made up of at least one substructure, the substructures reacting differently to focus and dose and giving rise to an exposed pattern from which focus and dose may be determined.

A light-emitting device operating on a high drive voltage and a small drive current. LEDs (1) are two-dimensionally formed on an insulating substrate (10) of e.g., sapphire monolithically and connected in series to form an LED array. Two such LED arrays are connected to electrodes (32) in inverse parallel. Air-bridge wiring (28) is formed between the LEDs (1) and between the LEDs (1) and electrodes (32). The LED arrays are arranged zigzag to form a plurality of LEDs (1) to produce a high drive voltage and a small drive current. Two LED arrays are connected in inverse parallel, and therefore an AC power supply can be used as the power supply.

In a spectroscopic microscope, a video image of a specimen is analyzed to identify regions having different appearances, and thus presumptively different properties. The sizes and locations of the identified regions are then used to position the specimen to align each region with an aperture, and to set the aperture to a size appropriate for collecting a spectrum from the region in question. The spectra can then be analyzed to identify the substances present within each region of the specimen. Information on the identified substances can then be presented to the user along with the image of the specimen.

A mobile device including a first image sensor, an image processor coupled to and residing on the same integrated circuit as the first image sensor, and a second image sensor, wherein the image processor is configured to substantially and separately process images from the first and second image sensors.

A polyphase electrosurgical system and method are provided. In embodiments, a radiofrequency generator having the capability of delivering a plurality of independent electrosurgical signals is disclosed. An electrosurgical instrument having an array of electrodes that correspond to the plurality of signals may be used to deliver the electrosurgical signals to tissue. In embodiments, three RF signals having a phase offset of about 120° therebetween, i.e., a three-phase configuration, may be used to achieve a balanced delivery of electrosurgical energy, which may lead to increased rates of energy delivery, improved control of tissue ablation regions, and improved operative outcomes. The phase, amplitude, and/or frequency of each signal may be independently variable in response to user inputs and/or biological parameters such as tissue impedance or return electrode current.

A backlight device for a liquid crystal includes a substrate, a light source including a first plurality of green light emitting diodes, a second plurality of blue light emitting diodes, and a third plurality of red light emitting diodes arranged along a first row direction on the substrate in an offset matrix-type configuration, wherein white light emitting diodes are disposed at both ends of the configuration of the green, blue, and red light emitting diodes.

Provided is an antenna coil capable of forming a magnetic field in a desired direction in an efficient manner, while suppressing leakage of magnetic flux into a space other than the space in which the magnetic field is formed. The antenna coil includes a main coil portion formed by winding a length of conductor wire around a first reference axis and an auxiliary coil portion formed by winding the conductor wire around a second reference axis. The second reference axis is set to intersect the magnetic flux of the main coil portion at an axial end of the auxiliary coil portion. The main coil portion and the auxiliary coil portion are connected to together form a closed circuit.

A self-ligating orthodontic appliance including a base, one or more pivotally and movably mounted jaws on the base, and a spring member actuable to coact with the base and jaws and selectively move the jaws between open and closed positions.

A semi-crystalline film comprised of a lactide polymer. The lactide polymer comprises a plurality of poly(lactide) polymer chains, residual lactide in concentration of less than about 5 percent and water in concentration of less than about 2000 parts-per-million. A process for manufacturing a semi-crystalline film with the lactide polymer composition is also disclosed.

Provided is a via for use in a printed circuit board or integrated circuit having first, second, third, and fourth layers. The via includes a first path capable of transmitting a forward current from the first to the second layer and a second path capable of transmitting a return current resulting from the forward current from the third to the fourth layer to return to a source of the forward current.
