A prosthesis system comprises plates that can be positioned against vertebrae and a selected resilient core that can be positioned between the plates to allow the plates to articulate. The selected resilient core can be chosen from a plurality of cores in response to patient characteristics, such as age and/or intervertebral mobility, such that the prosthesis implanted in the patient is tailored to the needs of the patient. The plurality of cores may comprise cores with different resiliencies, and one of the cores can be selected such that the upper and lower plates articulate with the desired shock absorbing resiliency and/or maximum angle of inclination when the one selected core is positioned between the plates.

A controller inclines a movable body with respect to an XY plane at an angle α in a periodic direction of a grating, based on a measurement value of an interferometer which measures an angle of inclination of the movable body to the XY plane, and based on a measurement value of an encoder system and information of angle α before and after the inclination, and computes an Abbe offset quantity of the grating surface with respect to a reference surface (e.g., an image plane of a projection optical system) which serves as a reference for position control of the movable body in the XY plane. Then, the controller drives the movable body, based on positional information of the movable body in the XY plane measured by the encoder system and a measurement error of the encoder system corresponding to an angle of inclination of the movable body to the XY plane due to the Abbe offset quantity of the grating surface.

An illumination system is providing comprising a first waveguide having a plurality of light-directing surfaces on its lower surface. These surfaces direct light through an output surface of the waveguide into at least one angular range while directing substantially no light into a different angular range. Each surface comprises a plurality of portions having different angles of inclination to a normal to the waveguide.

An exposure method is disclosed, in which a surface of a wafer can be conformed to an image plane highly accurately even when an angle of inclination of a running surface of a wafer stage is varied when a pattern for a semiconductor device or the like is transferred onto the wafer in accordance with the scanning exposure system. The focusing is performed in an exposure area on the basis of a focus position detected in a pre-reading area in which the focus position can be detected highly accurately although the detection range is narrow, disposed in front of the exposure area on the wafer in the scanning direction. In order to allow the surface of the wafer to be included in the detection range of the focus position in the pre-reading area, the focus position of the wafer is roughly conformed to the image plane on the basis of a result of detection at a rough detecting point for roughly detecting the focus position in front of the pre-reading area with a wide detection range.

Data are acquired using multi-array logging tool in a borehole having an angle of inclination to a normal to the bedding plane of earth formations. The multi-array measurements are filtered using angle dependent filters to give a filtered curve corresponding to a target one of the multi-array measurements using angle dependent filters. Correlation coefficients are determined for a set of possible dip angles and a relative dip angle is estimated from the correlation coefficients. This dip angle estimate together with bed boundaries obtained from the multi-array measurements are used for inverting multi-component measurements alone or jointly with multi-array measurements to refine the relative dip angle interpretation and give horizontal and vertical formation resistivity.

An adjusting apparatus comprises a base, and a supporting frame, a fixed plate, a sliding stand, and a carrier, which are sequential stacked on the base. An optical engine is fixed on the carrier. By rotating the adjusting device, the axis position of optical engine can be adjusted along sliding slots guided by bulges. By using arc surfaces of the sliding stand and the carrier, the adjusting apparatus clips and pushes the blocks of the carrier to adjust the left and right angle of inclination of optical engine. Therefore, the light beam provided by optical engine could project on a screen precisely and reach the optimum projection performance.

A semiconductor light emitting element, manufacturing method thereof, integrated semiconductor light emitting device, manufacturing method thereof, illuminating device, and manufacturing method thereof are provided. An n-type GaN layer is grown on a sapphire substrate, and a growth mask of SiN, for example, is formed thereon. On the n-type GaN layer exposed through an opening in the growth mask, a six-sided steeple-shaped n-type GaN layer is selectively grown, which has inclined crystal planes each composed of a plurality of crystal planes inclined from the major surface of the sapphire substrate by different angles of inclination to exhibit a convex plane as a whole. On the n-type GaN layer, an active layer and a p-type GaN layer are grown to make a light emitting element structure. Thereafter, a p-side electrode and an n-side electrode are formed.

A cutting head for rotary trimmers in which at least one, and preferably two relatively short fixed lengths of flexible cutting line are inserted into opposed channels in the head and are secured in place by a pair of spring biased toothed cams. Each of the cams is pivotally mounted on a post within the housing adjacent one of the channels and defines a curvilinear camming surface having a plurality of uniformly spaced teeth thereon that project into the channels at increasing angles of inclination from the outermost tooth to the innermost tooth for engaging the line. A pair of torsion springs bias the cams to pivot on their mounting teeth such that the backsides of the teeth are continually urged toward the openings to the channels thereby allowing line to be inserted inwardly into the head past the toothed cams but retained by the cams against any outwardly directed forces acting on the line. The cams are symmetrically balanced about their axes of rotation so as to be unaffected by centrifugal force acting thereon during use.

An object of the invention is to reliably control chip, particularly that produced in profiling. To achieve this, rake faces are formed on polygon faces of an insert in the form of a polygonal plate shape, and a pair of cutting edges extending respectively from corner parts of the polygon faces are formed on a ridge part of the polygon faces, and each of the rake faces is gradually inclined as it becomes farther away from the cutting edge, and a land formed along the cutting edge, is inclined so that it gradually sinks as it become farther away from the cutting edge at an angle of inclination smaller than a rake angle, and angles of inclination of these rake face and land are made smaller in the direction to separate from a tip of the corner part along the cutting edge, and a main convex being a convex spherical face shape is formed at intervals between the cutting edges, on the corner part C, and at least one pair of sub convexes being a convex spherical face shape is also formed respectively at positions away from this main convex, along the pair of cutting edges.

The device comprises a device (2) for creating an essentially linear target (4) in an evacuated space where laser beams (1) are focused, the target being suitable for interacting with the focused laser beams (1) to emit a plasma emitting radiation in the extreme ultraviolet. A receiver device (3) receives the target (4) after it has interacted with the focused laser beams (1), and a collector device (110) collects the EUV radiation emitted by the target (4). The focusing elements (11) for focusing the laser beams on the target (4) are arranged in such a manner that the laser beams (1) are focused on the target (4) laterally, being situated in a common half-space relative to the target (4) and being inclined at a determined angle lying in the range about 60° to about 90° relative to a mean collection axis (6) perpendicular to the target (4). The collector device (110) is disposed symmetrically about the mean collection axis (6) in the half-space containing the laser beams (1) focused on the target (4) and inside a conical space (8) centered on the mean collection axis (6) with a vertex situated at the target (4) and a half-angle at the vertex that is less than the angle of inclination of the focused laser beams (1) relative to the mean collection axis (6). The device is suitable for use as a source for EUV radiation in lithography for fabricating integrated circuits.
