Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media for designing and executing workflows can be equipped with a means for manipulation of workflow steps by grouping them, such as by placing them in containers. A container can be associated with a database transaction. In some embodiments, a container property can be set to indicate whether the container must participate, may participate, or may not participate in a database transaction. Further, containers may be placed in parent containers, and optionally inherit the transaction property of the parent.

Abstract: A high power gas discharge laser for and method of producing laser output light pulses of high energy density is disclosed which may comprise a laser output light pulse beam optical track having a plurality of modular components arranged in order from a laser light source to a laser system output port and defining a laser output light pulse beam path having a single centerline axis; a first optical module and a second optical module in series in the optical track; a flexible interface element intermediate the first and the second optical module and rigidly attached to each of the first and second optical modules; and an optical element having a fixed position in the output laser pulse beam path comprising a rigid attachment to the first optical module, and extending within the flexible interface element. The optical element may comprise a beam expander, which may comprise a lensed beam expander. The optical element may comprise at least a part of a telescoping lens set forming an optical beam expander and the at least a part of a telescoping lens set comprises the entire telescoping lens set forming the optical beam expander or the at least a part of a telescoping lens set may comprise a first part of the beam expander cooperating with at least a second part located in a subsequent optical module in the laser output pulse beam optical track along the same optical centerline axis. A plurality of aligning mechanisms may align the optical element to a first and a second axis of the laser output pulse beam, the first and second axes being generally orthogonal to each other and orthogonal to the optical centerline axis, and also along the optical centerline axis. The beam expander may incorporate as one optic the output coupler optic and may have a moveable lens to enable a range of magnifications.

Abstract: The operation of a data flow is improved by providing for validation of the consistency of the data flow with the external data files it works with, even in the face of changes in those external data files Metadata is stored regarding the external data files. Because external data files may change, this metadata is used when determining whether the external data files are still compatible with the data flow. In such performing such validation, the metadata tracks what changes in the external data files have occurred, and allows increased flexibility in presenting the user with options or in automatically fixing the data flow to correspond with changes in external data files. When the external data files are not available, the stored metadata can be used to validate the data flow to the last information regarding the external data files. The external metadata can be resynchronized to the data flow or to the external data files to provide updated external metadata for later validation.

Abstract translation: 通过提供数据流与其工作的外部数据文件的一致性的验证来改进数据流的操作，即使面对这些外部数据文件的变化，存储有关外部数据文件的元数据。 因为外部数据文件可能会改变，所以在确定外部数据文件是否仍然与数据流兼容时使用此元数据。 在这种执行这样的验证中，元数据跟踪外部数据文件发生了什么变化，并且允许在向用户呈现选项或者自动修复数据流以对应于外部数据文件的变化的灵活性方面。 当外部数据文件不可用时，可以使用存储的元数据来验证数据流到有关外部数据文件的最新信息。 可以将外部元数据重新同步到数据流或外部数据文件，以提供更新的外部元数据，以供稍后验证。

Abstract: A wavemeter for a high repetition rate gas discharge laser having an output laser bean comprising a pulsed output of greater than or equal to 15 mJ per pulse, sub-nanometer bandwidth tuning range pulses having a femptometer bandwidth precision and tens of femptometers bandwidth accuracy range, for measuring bandwidth on a pulse to pulse basis at pulse repetition rates of 4000 Hz and above, is disclosed which may comprise an adjustable optic mounting containing an optic element having an assigned vertical optical plane in the wavemeter optical layout and comprising: a mounting dowel pin positioned on a platform holding the components of the wavemeter; a dowel receiving opening on the adjustable mirror mounting a tangent to which is in the assigned vertical optical plane. The adjustable optic mounting may contain a tilt mechanism incorporated into the adjustable optic mounting enabling tilting the optic element about an axis in a plane parallel to a platform holding components of the wavemeter. The mounting may also have an optic receiving recess indexed to the size of the optic element. The optic element may be retained by at least one spring clip and may be a flat rectangular mirror or a circular optic, e.g., a mirror or a lens.
