Abstract: A coating liquid containing metal as a metal-containing coating liquid is supplied to a surface to be processed of a substrate by a coating processing unit, whereby a metal-containing coating film is formed on the surface to be processed. The substrate on which the metal-containing coating film has been formed is transported to a metal removal unit by a transport mechanism. A removal liquid for dissolving the metal is supplied to a peripheral portion of the substrate by the metal removal unit such that the metal-containing coating film remains in a region except for the peripheral portion of the surface to be processed of the substrate.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that measures a difference between angles of a subject's neck in first and second periods of time. The apparatus includes a radiating section fitted to a head of the subject, an image pickup section, which picks up an image of an irradiation plane including an illuminated point based on the radiating section, and a computer. Based on image groups obtained by the image pickup section, the computer computes coordinates of the averages of illuminated points in the first and second periods, respectively. The computer computes the distance between a base point on the plane and each of a pair of perpendicular lines, which each extend orthogonally to a horizontal line included in the plane and further drawn to pass onto the base point, and extend respectively from points of the coordinates of the two averages. The computer computes the neck-angle difference based on the distances.
