20080309126 | Motor vehicle with a movable roof and an extendable rollover protection element - A motor vehicle has a body, a roof that can be displaced between an open position and closed position and having a roof skin with a rear window, and a rollover protection element that can be extended from an inoperative position into a protective position. In the protective position and with the roof in the closed position, the rollover protective element protrudes above the roof skin in the vicinity of the rear window. For improved rollover protection, it is proposed that the rear window is surrounded at least in some sections by a stiff window frame and is attached thereto, and that, in the closed position of the roof, the window frame is supported in relation to the body. | 12-18-2008 |

The shaping sections lie in a row next to one another in a closed position of the roof configuration and have water channels which run approximately parallel to each convertible top cloth strip and in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and also adjacent to the convertible top cloth strips. It is provided that, at least in a closed position of the roof configuration, an inner edge of each convertible top cloth strip together with at least one sealing configuration forms a leakproof covering for the adjacent water channel. | 03-12-2009 |
20090152854 | MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A DISPLACEABLE ROOF CONFIGURATION AND A ROLLOVER PROTECTION ELEMENT - A motor vehicle with a roof configuration which can be displaced between a closed position and open position and has a roof skin. At least one rollover protection element which, in a retracted inoperative position, is concealed under a covering, is moveable, by displacing the covering, into an extended protective position and has a manipulation element for the roof skin in order to be able to penetrate the roof skin to reach the protective position. In order to be able to reliably extend the rollover protection element, it is provided that, on its lower side facing the rollover protection element, the covering has a contact structure which prevents the manipulation element from making contact with the covering. | 06-18-2009 |
20090278378 | CONVERTIBLE - A convertible has a top which can be opened and can be put away and which has a rear window frame and, when the top is closed, at least one surface bow situated in front of said rear window frame in the direction of travel. A coupling linkage for carrying out a relative movement of the surface bow with respect to the rear window frame is arranged between the rear window frame and the surface bow. It is essential for the invention that at least two surface bows which are situated in front of the rear window frame in the direction of travel are provided, which surface bows, when the top is closed, form a continuous roof contour together with the rear window frame. Furthermore, the coupling linkage is designed in such a manner that, at the beginning of the opening of the top, the second surface bow can be moved downward relative to the adjacent first surface bow and relative to the rear window frame out of the roof contour. | 11-12-2009 |
20100001549 | Top for a Convertible - A top for a convertible, which has a rear window frame with a rear window and, in the closed state, at least one roof section situated in front of the rear window frame in the direction of travel. When there are two roof sections which are adjacent to each other when the top is closed, a respective extension, which is extended to the rear or front, is formed on the lateral border regions of one of the roof sections. The extension being configured as a seal carrier. | 01-07-2010 |

20080316456 | CATADIOPTRIC PROJECTION OBJECTIVE WITH GEOMETRIC BEAM SPLITTING - A projection exposure lens has an object plane, optical elements for separating beams, a concave mirror, an image plane, a first lens system arranged between the object plane and the optical elements for separating beams, a second double pass lens system arranged between the optical elements for separating beams and the concave mirror, a third lens system arranged between the optical elements for separating beams and the image plane. The second lens system has a maximum of five lenses. | 12-25-2008 |
20090073398 | MICROLITHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION EXPOSURE APPARATUS - The disclosure relates to a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus and a microlithographic projection exposure apparatus, as well as related components, methods and articles made by the methods. The microlithographic projection exposure apparatus includes an illumination system and a projection objective. The illumination system can illuminate a mask arranged in an object plane of the projection objective. The mask can have structures which are to be imaged. The method can include illuminating a pupil plane of the illumination system with light. The method can also include modifying, in a plane of the projection objective, the phase, amplitude and/or polarization of the light passing through that plane. The modification can be effected for at least two diffraction orders in mutually different ways. A mask-induced loss in image contrast obtained in the imaging of the structures can be reduced compared to a method without the modification. | 03-19-2009 |
20100201959 | PROJECTION OBJECTIVE FOR MICROLITHOGRAPHY - A projection objective for microlithography includes at least one optical assembly with optical elements which are disposed between an object plane and an image plane. The optical assembly includes at least one optical terminal element, which is disposed close to the image plane. A first immersion liquid is disposed on the image oriented surface of the optical terminal element. A second immersion liquid is disposed on the object oriented surface of the optical terminal element. The object oriented surface includes a first surface section for the imaging light to enter into the terminal element, and the image oriented surface includes a second surface portion for the imaging light to exit from the terminal element. | 08-12-2010 |
