Patent number: 7842205Abstract: The present invention provides a manufacturing method by which a substrate (typically, a TFT substrate) can be installed directly in a treatment apparatus by using a transfer container without shifting the substrate from the transfer container to another container. It is possible to use the container efficiently and transfer different substrates in size with one container. A manufacturing method in which a substrate is directly installed in an electrostatic-protected transfer container by a substrate supplier, and then the container is directly installed in a treatment apparatus by a substrate demander after transferring can be realized, thereby making it possible to transfer substrates such as a TFT substrate. A contamination of a substrate due to particles and electrostatic discharge damage of a TFT substrate can be avoided because a transferring operation is not needed.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2003Date of Patent: November 30, 2010Assignee: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shunpei Yamazaki, Noriyuki Matsuda

Patent number: 7832590Abstract: An insert for a multiple component container includes a reservoir with an opening defined by a peripheral edge which, in use, is connected to a sealing element (20). In use, the reservoir and the sealing element define a substantially sealed space. The reservoir includes a stationary portion (2) and a movable portion (4), which is connected to the stationary portion and is movable with respect thereto by the action of gas pressure within the reservoir. A discharge opening (6) is formed in the movable portion (4) and a gas leakage path is provided in the reservoir wall. A valve member (14) is connected to the stationary portion (2) and cooperates with the discharge opening (6) and substantially seals it. The application of a greater gas pressure to the interior of the reservoir than to its exterior results in movement of the movable portion (4) away from the stationary portion (2) and thus in the valve member (14) moving out of sealing contact with the discharge opening (6).Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Carbonite CorporationInventors: Matthew Eric Smith, Karl Mondszein

When not fully extended, the side supports bend inwards between the first face and the second face. The first side support and the second side support are in positions with respect to the first face and the second face and each other such that when they are bent inwards between the first face and the second face, the first support member does not interfere with the second support member. In a preferred arrangement, the first side support is flexibly connected to the first face and the second face at a position which is different from that of the second side support, so that when the first side support and the second side support are bent inwards sufficiently far, they pass each other without interfering with each other.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2002Publication date: October 16, 2003Inventor: Kenneth J.
