  • Patent number: 10432131
    Abstract: There are provided the same number of inverter modules as the number of phases of a motor, and an inverter control unit that generates PWM signals used to drive the inverter modules in PWM. Three phase outputs from each of the inverter modules are coupled to form a phase output signal for one phase of the motor while capacitors are mounted between control GNDs of the inverter modules and power GNDs of the inverter modules. Consequently, even if a surge voltage is generated in a GND wiring at the time of a switching operation of switching elements in the inverter modules, the application of the surge voltage to the switching elements can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10128136
    Abstract: There is provided a guide member 3 in which an inclined surface 32 thereof is inclined downwardly outwards from an edge portion of a rear surface of a horizontally held wafer W; and a cylindrical surrounding member 2 which surrounds the wafer W and in which an upper peripheral portion thereof is inwardly extended obliquely upwards. Further, the surrounding member 2 has, at an inner surface side thereof, two groove portions 23 extended along an entire circumference and located above a height position of the horizontally held wafer W. If an air flow flows along the surrounding member 2, a vortex flow is formed within the groove portions 23 and stays therein. Thus, mist can be captured, so that the flow of the mist to the outside of a cup body 1 can be suppressed. Accordingly, the adhesion of the mist to the wafer W can be suppressed.
