    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the presence, location and relative concentration of certain fluorescent materials in a scene that is illuminated by sunlight. The particular fluorescent materials are characterized in that they fluoresce at wavelengths coincident with one or more Fraunhofer absorption bands. Two images are formed from light collected from the scene. One of the images consists mainly of light from the scene having a spectral band-pass inside a Fraunhofer absorption band and the other image consists mainly of light from the scene having a spectral bandpass in the continuum near the same Fraunhofer absorption band. The two images are normalized so that intensities on corresponding portions of each image due to reflected solar radiation are equal. The ''''continuum'''' image is then subtracted from the ''''Fraunhofer'''' image. The resulting difference image consists primarily of fluorescent radiation derived from the fluorescent materials or objects in the scene and provides a direct visual indication of their presence, location and relative concentration.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for sensing fluorescent radiation emitted by a sample material using sunlight as the source of exciting radiation. A bundle of direct sunlight is encoded and split into beams each of which is combined with similar portions of a bundle of light containing solar reflected and solar-excited fluorescent energy components from the sample material. The sample bundle is encoded differently from the direct sunlight or reference bundle so that it may be distinguished subsequently. The two beams (each of which contain reference and sample components) are passed through two spectral filters and detected photoelectrically. One of the spectral filters is centered on a Fraunhofer absorption line. The other filter is centered a few Angstroms away in the solar continuum. The four signals corresponding to the intensity of the sample and reference beam components passing through each of the two spectral filters are separated electronically and combined in an analogue computer to yield a signal proportional to the fluorescivity of the sample material.

    Abstract: METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC MASK ALIGNMENT A method for aligning a mask with a microcircuit wafer, using a first target which is of a size that can be printed on a microcircuit chip without interfering with the lines thereon, and consisting only of lines vertically or diagonally disposed with respect to the image transducer. This target is exposed on at least two positions of the wafer, and the microcircuit is processed to include the first targets. A second mask to be exposed after the first mask has a diamond shaped target of a second size on at least two positions, and the first and second targets are centered one within the other prior to exposing the second mask.

    Abstract: EO-2627 AUTOMATIC WAFER FOCUSING AND FLATTENING SYSTEM An automatic focusing system for positioning silicon or other wafer within the focal plane of a photolithographic mask projection system. The position of the wafer is measured at a plurality of points and compared to the position of an optical flat located in the focal plane to provide signals for positioning the wafer at the focal plane of the projection system. The system also includes means for changing the contours of the wafer to cause it to lie in a known plane.
