Patent number: 8237367Abstract: According to the plasma treatment on an object accommodated in the processing room, the plasma treatment is carried out as follows. The discharge detecting sensor detects a signal of potential change caused with change in plasma discharge. Receiving the signal, the signal recording section temporarily records the signal as signal data indicating potential change. Referencing the signal data, the signal analysis section extracts index data. The index data shows a condition of plasma discharge, for example, as a count value for discharge-start waves, a count value for abnormal discharge, a count value for feeble arc discharge. The device control section judges a condition of plasma discharge by monitoring the index data and carries out the retry process, the accumulative plasma process, and the maintenance judgment process for performing plasma treatment operations properly.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masaru Nonomura, Tatsuhiro Mizukami

Patent number: 7549566Abstract: A heating characteristic value at any measuring point of an object at any measuring location of a heating furnace is determined as a single invariable by using temperature (Tint and Ts) measured at the measuring point of the object and heating temperature (Ta) and heating time (t) at the measuring location of the heating furnace. The heating characteristic value (m-value) may be calculated without using physical characteristics of the object. By using the m-value, a temperature profile of the object heated under a modified heating condition may be simulated in a short period of time without actually heating and measuring the temperature of the object at a high accuracy level. By using such a simulation, an appropriate heating condition for heating an object in accordance with a desired heating condition may easily be determined.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masaru Nonomura, Yoshinori Isobata, Hiroaki Onishi, Masahiro Taniguchi
