A substrate support configured to support a substrate. The substrate support has a plurality of burls protruding from a base surface of the substrate support. The burls have distal ends for supporting a lower surface of the substrate with a gap between the base surface of the substrate support and the lower surface of the substrate. The substrate support has a liquid supply channel configured to supply a conductive liquid to the gap so as to bridge the gap between the base surface of the substrate support and the lower surface of the substrate, to allow charge to pass between the substrate support and the substrate. The substrate support has a controlled electrical potential such that charge distribution at the lower surface of the substrate can be manipulated.

Substrate support, lithographic apparatus, method for manipulating charge distribution and method for preparing a substrate

A substrate table for an immersion system having a projection system arranged to project an image onto a substrate and a liquid confinement system configured to confine an immersion liquid to a space between the projection system and the substrate, the substrate table including: a substrate holder configured to hold a substrate; and a current control device arranged to reduce an electric current flowing between the substrate and the substrate holder while the immersion liquid is confined to the space.

Lithographic apparatus and a device manufacturing method

The present invention regards a probe for deep brain stimulation (DBS), with high overall impedance, but low overall resistance. This is achieved since the probe comprises a structure comprising at least two interconnected spirals, wherein said two spirals have different direction of rotation. A system for deep brain stimulation comprising the probe, a power source and an electrode is also disclosed.

Spiraled wires in a deep-brain stimulator probe

The invention relates to a probe for an implantable electro-stimulation device. The probe () has a distal end () and a proximal end (), and moreover comprises: one or more electrodes () a shield () of conducting material covering a major part of the probe, said shield extending from the vicinity of at least one of the one or more electrodes () towards the proximal end () or towards the distal end () of the probe (); and a layer () of insulating material covering part of the shield () in the vicinity of the at least one of the one or more electrodes. The shield protects wires (), extending from electrodes to the proximal end of the probe, from undesired interference of external RF fields. The exposed part of the shield not covered by the layer of insulating material serves as a return electrode for the electrostimulation signal path.

Probe for implantable electro-stimulation device

The present invention relates to a medical device () for electrical stimulation. The device comprising an implantable elongated lead system () having a distal end () and a proximal end (), the lead system comprises one or more electrical conductors () for connection to one or more electrodes (). The one or more electrical conductors are wound along a length axis () of the lead system with a plurality of windings, and wherein the density of windings is non-uniformly distributed along the length axis. In an embodiment, the medical device is in the form of a deep brain stimulation (DBS) device.

Medical device for electrical stimulation

The invention relates to a probe () for an implantable medical device. The probe has a distal end () and a proximal end (), and the probe () moreover comprises an electrode () at the distal end. The electrode is connected to a wire () extending from the electrode to the proximal end of the probe, where the resistivity of the wire is non-uniform along the length of the wire. The wire may have high resistivity at the distal end of the probe and low resistivity wires elsewhere. The high resistivity wires reduce the peak current density in the tissue of an implanted device, and thus prevents destructive heating and/or undesired stimulation of tissue during MRI examination. This highly contributes to MR safety which is a highly desired feature for these implantable electrical stimulation devices.

In a flat X-ray detector, Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is reduced by either opening a pickup loop between the common lines () and the reference plane () of the PCB, or by reducing the size of a pickup loop by providing a permanent connection () between the common supply line and the reference plane () in respect of each row of photoconductors ().

Digital flat X-ray detector

The invention relates to a color display device comprising an electron gun () for generating three electron beams (), and convergence means () for dynamically influencing the convergence of the electron beams. The convergence means () comprise coils () for generating a magnetic field. The coils () are provided with an electrically conducting layer.

Cathode ray tube with convergence unit

The invention relates to a cathode ray tube comprising means ( ) for generating an electron beam ( ), means ( ) for deflecting the electron beam, and a coil ( &prime;) for influencing a deflection of the electron beam ( ). The coil ( &prime;) comprises an electrically conductive coil holder ( ) and coil windings ( ) having an electrically conductive outer layer ( ). The electrically conductive layer ( ) of the coil wires ( ) and the coil holder ( ) cooperate with each other so as to form a conductive path A between successive coil windings ( ). Due to the outer layer ( ) of the wires and the conductive coil holder ( ) an electrical path A between successive windings ( ) is created that provides damping and by which ringing is suppressed.

Cathode ray tube with anti-ringing coil

The invention relates to a deflection yoke ( ) for a cathode ray tube ( ) in which the energy for deflection is reduced. This is done by providing a magnetic material ( ) in voids ( ) that occur between the ferrite core ( ) and a set of frame coils ( ). The magnetic material ( ) is comprised in a preformed insert ( ), which may further comprise a rubber or plastic material. This results in a clean method of adding the magnetic material.

Magnetic material filling for void spaces in deflection yokes

A cathode ray tube ( ) having an improved deflection unit ( ) is described. The deflection unit ( ) comprises line and/or frame coils that comprise a composition of wires having a conductive coating and wires having a non-conductive coating. Such deflection units have a good anti-ringing performance, while the good adhesion characteristics of non-conducting coated wires are maintained.

CRT having a deflection unit with anti-ringing characteristics

A cathode ray tube includes a deflection unit. A coil system of the deflection unit is provided with a conductive layer, the value for f,/&Dgr;f ranging between 0.5 and 10, &Dgr;f being the half-value width of the impedance curve around a peak frequency f,, and f,being greater that 1 MHz. This results in a reduction of ringing phenomena.

Cathode ray tube comprising a deflection unit

In, for example a field emission display, the invention provides the possibility of combining a plurality of sub-substrates that are attached to a larger rear wall, because notably different modes of multiplexing provide a wider positioning tolerance of a sub-substrate with respect to the front plate. Moreover, the different multiplexing techniques lead to a smaller number of connections, even if no use is made of a rear wall supporting of sub-substrates. A plurality of multiplexing techniques provides the possibility of activating a substantially equally large number of pixels of different colours during parts of an image period, so that there is substantially no colour flicker.
