Abstract:

First and second coherent beams illuminate a common area on an exposure station. A phase detector senses the relative phase between the first and second beams to provide a control signal. There is at least one phase shifter in the path of at least one of the coherent beams. The control signal is coupled to the phase shifter to adjust the phase imparted thereby so that the relative phase between the first and second coherent beams is substantially constant.

Abstract:

Methods and a system for providing an annuity having income payments and receipt of a dividend. The method comprises receiving a dividend and having the option to receive the dividend in cash, convert it into an income payment stream, defer a portion of the value of the dividend declared to convert into a future dividend stream, or any combination of the foregoing. A portion of a value of dividends from the annuity can be used to purchase additional income payments. Future dividend payments may be based on additional income payments purchased with dividends. The dividend can be used to purchase additional income payments with a first portion of a value of dividends from the annuity and receive a cash payment with a second portion of the value of the dividends from the annuity. The dividend purchased portion of the income payment may be converted to a non-dividend income payment.
