Abstract: An outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus prevents dew condensation water from remaining at a lower portion of a heat exchanger and prevents the flow rate of air passing through the heat exchanger from being decreased, and a method of producing the outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus. The outdoor unit includes a housing including a bottom plate, and a frame at an upper end portion of the housing, a heat exchanger including a plurality of fins arranged in parallel at intervals and heat-transfer pipes penetrating the plurality of fins, and a support member including a first support portion engaged with the frame, a fourth support piece perpendicularly extending from the first support portion, and an engagement piece erected on the fourth support piece and holding the heat-transfer pipes, and the support member supports the heat exchanger such that the heat exchanger is away from the bottom plate.

Abstract: There is provided a substrate processing apparatus to perform a predetermined process on a substrate on which a pattern mask is formed, comprising a compartment mechanism configured to switch between a compartmented state and an open state. The compartmented state includes a first section having the evaporation source formation part, and a second section configured to transfer the substrate between an outside of processing vessel and a mounting table. The substrate processing apparatus comprises a substrate transfer hole formed in the processing vessel and configured to open and close with respect to the second section being in the compartmented state; and an exhaust hole formed to connect to the second section and configured to exhaust the second section in the compartment state to remove a solvent atmosphere of the second section.

Abstract: A total of n light receiving surface finger electrodes are arranged on a light receiving surface. A total of (n?1)×m1/m2+1 second collecting electrodes are arranged on a back surface. On a plane of projection parallel, m2 light receiving surface finger electrodes and ml back surface finger electrodes are included an interval between a first position and a second position. On the plane of projection, the auxiliary wiring is provided at a third position at which only the light receiving surface finger electrode is present.

Abstract: An UV-irradiation apparatus of an embodiment is provided with an irradiation unit, a measuring unit, a detecting unit, a calculator and a display. The irradiation unit irradiates treatment water as a treatment target with treating ultraviolet rays. The measuring unit measures ultraviolet ray intensity of ultraviolet rays transmitted through the treatment water. The detecting unit detects a deterioration of the irradiation unit in accordance with the ultraviolet ray intensity measured by the measuring unit. The calculator calculates the ultraviolet ray permeability of the treatment water, on the basis of the ultraviolet ray intensity of ultraviolet rays emitted from the irradiation unit depending on a preset setting value and the ultraviolet ray intensity measured by the measuring unit. The display displays the detection result of the deterioration of the irradiation unit by the detecting unit, and the ultraviolet ray permeability calculated by the calculator.
