  • Patent number: 11921428
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a substrate processing method is disclosed. The method can include treating a substrate with a first liquid. The substrate has a structural body formed on a major surface of the substrate. The method can include forming a support member supporting the structural body by bringing a second liquid into contact with the substrate wetted by the first liquid, and changing at least a portion of the second liquid into a solid by carrying out at least one of causing the second liquid to react, reducing a quantity of a solvent included in the second liquid, and causing at least a portion of a substance dissolved in the second liquid to be separated. The method can include removing the support member by changing at least a part of the support member from a solid phase to a gaseous phase, without passing through a liquid phase.

  • Patent number: 10081438
    Abstract: The invention deals with the restriction on the mode change of an engine due to latching in the case of restarting the engine that has stopped in flight. A FADEC that controls an engine of an aircraft in accordance with a mode, includes a latch operating section that latches the mode, and an in-parking/in-flight determining section that determines whether the aircraft is on the ground or flying off the ground. The latch operating section operates when the in-parking/in-flight determining section determines the aircraft is on the ground, and does not operate when the in-parking/in-flight determining section determines that the aircraft is in fight.

  • Patent number: 9335763
    Abstract: To improve the reliability of a control in a control system for devices included in an aircraft, such as engines. An engine control system 10 for controlling engines 11 of an aircraft includes a FADEC 30 including a calculation processing unit 33 for performing control calculation, and a first memory 321 for storing abnormality detection information that indicates that the calculation processing unit 33 detects an abnormality occurred in a sensor 20 and an actuator 21 used for a control. The abnormality detection information is not erased but still stored in the first memory 321 since the first memory 321 is not cleared even if the engine 11 is stopped. As a result, referring to the abnormality detection information makes it possible to avoid using a device having a low reliability, in which an abnormality is detected, for the control.
