The pursuit of further miniaturization of electronic circuits has made submicrometer resolution Hthography a cmcial element in future computer engineering. LB films have long been considered potential candidates for resist appHcations, because conventional spin-coated photoresist materials have large pinhole densities and variations of thickness. In contrast, LB films are two-dimensional, layered, crystalline soHds that provide high control of film thickness and are impermeable to plasma down to a thickness of 40 nm (46). The electron beam polymerization of CO-tricosenoic acid monolayers has been mentioned. Another monomeric amphiphile used in an attempt to develop electron-beam-resist materials is a-octadecylacryUc acid (8).

The differential can introduce a problem when driving on a slippeiy road because the torques on the two differential pinions are always equal, thus delivering equal torques to the drive wheels. In the extreme, if the tire of one drive wheel rests on ice and therefore lacks traction, the differential allows it to spin freely while the opposite drive wheel, and the vehicle itself, remain at rest. Special differential designs have been devised to overcome this problem. Traction is also improved in some vehicles through the application of four-wheel drive, whereby additional shafts and gears are employed to distribute engine power to all four wheels of the vehicle.
