Abstract: Provided is a thermoplastic polyester resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of (A) a non-liquid crystal thermoplastic polyester resin, 45 to 150 parts by weight of (B) a thermoplastic resin that is different from the non-liquid crystal thermoplastic polyester resin and has a dielectric loss tangent of not more than 0.005 when measured at a frequency of 5.8 GHz by the cavity resonance perturbation method, 2 to 20 parts by weight of (C) a compatibilizer having at least one reactive functional group selected from epoxy, acid anhydride, oxazoline, isocyanate, and carbodiimide groups, and 0.2 to 5 parts by weight of (D) at least one compound selected from tertiary amines, amidine compounds, organic phosphines and salts thereof, imidazoles, and boron compounds, wherein the ratio of the sum of the thermoplastic resin (B) and the compatibilizer (C) is in the range of 50 to 150 parts by weight and the weight ratio (B)/(C) of the thermoplastic resin (B) to the compatibilizer (C) is in the range of 8 to 50.

Abstract: An intake device of an engine comprises an intercooler, an intake passage including a downstream-side intake passage, and an EGR passage recirculating exhaust gas to the downstream-side intake passage. An intake-air supply opening having an opening area smaller than an area of a downstream-side face of an intercooler core is provided at a downstream side wall of a chamber. The downstream-side intake passage includes an extension passage portion extending upwardly along the downstream side wall. The intake-air supply opening includes an upper edge portion which separates the intake air flowing from an inside wall face of the extension passage portion and forms flowing main streams of the intake air inside the extension passage portion. EGR introduction ports are arranged at positions capable of supplying the EGR gas toward the flowing main streams.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a wafer carrier cleaning method is provided. The wafer carrier cleaning method includes cleaning a wafer carrier with a chemical solution containing a weak acid that can dissolve metals, and cleaning the wafer carrier cleaned with the chemical solution, with pure water. The weak acid contained in the chemical solution is preferably citric acid that can dissolve heavy metals and does not damage the wafer carrier.
