1. A pattern formation mold to be brought into contact with an imprinting material on a substrate to be processed for each shot, thereby sequentially transferring a predetermined pattern, wherein
one surface has a square shape, and has a pattern region in which the pattern is formed, and a peripheral region surrounding the pattern region,
the peripheral region has a first region having a height equal to a maximum height of the pattern region, and a second region lower than the first region, and
the second region has an L-shaped region in one corner of the one surface having the square shape, the one surface being a lower surface of the mold, and the L-shaped region having an L-shape in a plan view of the pattern formation mold.
2. A mold according to claim 1, wherein
the pattern region has a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the pattern, and
the second region of the peripheral region has a third region surrounding the pattern region.
3. A mold according to claim 2, wherein the first region of the peripheral region has a fourth region surrounding the third region.
4. A mold according to claim 1, wherein the first region has a second L-shaped region formed on said one surface to oppose the L-shaped region with the pattern region sandwiched therebetween.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A joystick comprising
a housing,
a ball supported and held within said housing,
a joystick handle attached to said ball,
a first device held within said housing,
a second device held within said housing,
a first engagement shaft extending from said first device to said ball, said first engagement shaft having an end adjacent said ball and engaging said ball, and
a second engagement shaft extending from said second device to said ball, said second engagement shaft having an end adjacent said ball and engaging said ball,
wherein said first and second engagement shafts are perpendicular to each other, and
wherein each of the first and second engagement shafts passes through a clearance opening extending from a portion of the respective first and second device through a portion of the housing that supports said ball.
2. A joystick in accordance with claim 1 wherein said ball has two indentations, with each indentation receiving an end of one of said engagement shafts.
3. A joystick in accordance with claim 2 wherein each of said ball indentations defines a respective plane.
4. A joystick in accordance with claim 1 wherein said first device is a first switch and wherein said second device is a second switch.
5. A joystick comprising
a housing;
a ball supported and held within said housing;
a joystick handle attached to said ball;
a first device held within said housing;
a second device held within said housing;
a first engagement shaft extending from said first device to said ball, said first engagement shaft having an end adjacent said ball and engaging said ball; and
a second engagement shaft extending from said second device to said ball, said second engagement shaft having an end adjacent said ball and engaging said ball,
wherein said ball has two indentations, with each indentation receiving an end of one of said engagement shafts, and
wherein each of the first and second engagement shafts passes through a clearance opening extending from a portion of the respective first and second device through a portion of the housing that supports said ball.
6. A joystick comprising
a housing;
a ball supported and held within said housing;
a joystick handle attached to said ball;
a first switch held within said housing;
a second switch held within said housing;
a first engagement shaft extending from said first switch to said ball, said first engagement shaft having an end adjacent said ball and engaging said ball; and
a second engagement shaft extending from said second switch to said ball, said second engagement shaft having an end adjacent said ball and engaging said ball,
wherein each of the first and second engagement shafts passes through a clearance opening extending from a portion of the respective first and second switch through a portion of the housing that supports said ball.
