  • Patent number: 11604097
    Abstract: A calibration method includes placing an LED light source having a given wavelength range inside a reference apparatus; acquiring first data as an emission intensity of light at a wavelength, a light amount of the light being adjusted in stages by changing the light amount output from the LED light source; storing the first data in a memory; placing the LED light source in a calibration target apparatus; acquiring second data as an emission intensity of light at a wavelength, a light amount of the light being adjusted in the stages by changing the light amount output from the LED light source; and calculating a calibration formula based on the first data stored in the memory and the second data.

  • Publication number: 20220341844
    Abstract: A calibration apparatus for calibrating an emission spectroscopy analyzer that monitors plasma generated in a plasma processing apparatus. The calibration apparatus comprises a base substrate; a plurality of light emitting devices disposed on the base substrate, each light emitting device of the plurality of light emitting devices is configured to emit light having different wavelengths from other light emitting devices of the plurality of light emitting devices; a reflector disposed on the base substrate, the reflector configured to reflect the light emitted by the plurality of light emitting devices toward an outside of the base substrate in a plan view; and a control device disposed on the base substrate, the control device configured to control the plurality of light emitting devices.

  • Patent number: 5055956
    Abstract: A composite type magnetic head assembly comprises a first magnetic head, a first base supported on a body of a tape recorder for carrying the first magnetic head, a first supporting mechanism for supporting the first base on the body of the tape recorder such that the first magnetic head is rotatable about a hypothetical axis passing through the first magnetic head in a direction parallel to a tape transport direction, a second base supported on the first base, a second magnetic head supported on the second base in a downstream side of the tape transport direction relative to the first magnetic head, and a second supporting mechanism provided on the base such that the second magnetic head is rotatable about the hypothetical axis independently from the first magnetic head, wherein the first and second magnetic heads are rotated about the hypothetical axis in mutually opposing directions.
