Abstract: Disclosed is an coating/developing apparatus and method thereof in which the processing time is shortened and the foot prints is reduced by shortening the travel distance of a wafer transfer arm. The coating/developing apparatus of the present disclosure includes, inter alia, liquid processing part (COT) that processes the substrate using a liquid, a cooling processing part (CA) provided to correspond to the liquid processing part (COT) and perform the cooling process for the substrate, a liquid processing unit (COTU) provided to correspond to the cooling processing part (CA) and equipped with a heating processing part (HP) that performs a heating processing for the substrate. The cooling processing part (CA) transfers the substrate to/from the liquid processing part (COT) and the heating processing part (HP).

Abstract: A package (11) has at least one bag (12, 13) and a head part (16) having a bottom part (17, 37) including a recess (19; 39), an outlet opening (20, 40) and an elevation (22, 42) which at least partially encloses a rim area of the recess (19; 39) and which projects over the bottom part (17, 37) axially toward the bag (12, 13), and a piercing device (21, 41) for the bag (12, 13).

Abstract: An insert for a multiple component container includes an upper seal member (10), a depending annular wall (22) sealed to the underside of the seal member (10), a depending spigot (20) connected to the underside of the seal member (10) and a movable wall (28; 60) carried by the depending wall (22). The seal member (10), the depending wall (22) and the movable wall (28; 60) define an interior space. The movable wall (28; 60) is movable with respect to the depending wall (22) under the action of a pressure within the interior space and affording a discharge aperture (32), within which the spigot (20) is slidingly and sealingly received. The interior space accommodates a movable piston member (8), which divides the interior space into a gas space (46) and an ingredient space (44) below it. The outer edge of the piston member (8) forms a sliding seal with the inner surface of the depending wall (22) and a hole is formed in the piston member in which the spigot (20) is slidingly and sealingly received.

Abstract: A cartridge magazine includes a carrier member (20) having a plurality of receptacles (21) for receiving propellant-containing cartridges (11), longitudinal ribs provided on longitudinal sides of the recess (27) and limiting same; and a cover strip (30) for securing the cartridges in the receptacles and located in the recess (27) formed in a flat surface (23) of the carrier member (20) and extending in a longitudinal direction (L), for limiting the recess, and a cover strip (30) for securing the cartridges in the receptacles and located in the recess (27).

Abstract: A system and method use 2D and 3D numerical gradient operators for reducing anisotropic inaccuracies in digital image processing. Enhanced isotropic operators are derived by first parameterizing corresponding numerical operators, followed by determining the parameters for the operators by matching analytical gradients with numerical gradients, which produces generic frequency-independent operators. The system and method also optimize the design of operators for use at any given frequency range needed for any special purpose application.

Abstract: A positioning device for a hand-held setting tool (10) includes a holder (21), a support (22) for the setting tool (10) arranged at an end of the holder and fixedly connected with an elongate support element (23) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (A) defined by the holder and having, at its end remote from the support, a base part, and a switching device for actuating the actuation switch (13) of the setting tool (10) and including an operating element for actuating the actuation switch (13), and an actuation element (24) arranged radially outwardly of the support element (23) and displaceable axially thereto and connectable with the operating element, with the base part extending beyond the end of the actuation element (24) remote from the support (22).

Abstract: A method for fabrication of a bent reinforcing rod in a composite material is described, where the reinforcing rod is composed of longitudinal fibers and a sheathing layer of fibers or foil, comprising the steps: to moisten fiber thread with a binding agent, to reel the moistened fiber thread to a bundle with a closed, approximately circular shape, consisting of a layer of longitudinal, parallel fibers of a desired thickness, whereby all the fibers in the layer obtain an approximately equal axial tightening, and to envelope an outer layer of fiber threads, and/or foil, or other suitable material, around the layer of longitudinal fibers, and that the fabricated blank is given a final form in a second forming process. The invention also relates to a device (10) for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A motor-driven saw has a gearing housing (4), which has at least two housing parts (6, 8), a stroke bar (10), which in operation executes a stroke movement in the direction of a stroke axis (26), and a reciprocating movement generator (36) that can be turned on or off, by virtue of which the stroke movement is superimposed with a reciprocating movement executed transverse to the stroke axis (26). All bearing zones (30, 44, 62) over which the reciprocating movement generator (36) is supported on the gearing housing (4) in a preferred direction of advance (16) of the saw, are arranged in the same carrying housing part (6).

Abstract: A setting device (10) for driving fastening elements into a receiving material has a housing (11), with a muzzle part (20) which is displaceable axially relative to the housing (11) and is arranged with a guide channel (38) for a fastening element strip (50) and opens into a receiving space (39) for a fastening element (51) to be driven in. Further, a locking element (30) is arranged in the muzzle part (20). The locking element (30) has a feeler portion (33) for detecting a fastening element (51) in the receiving space (39) and a locking part (32) for blocking the displacement of the muzzle part (20) relative to the housing (11) in a locking position (61) when a fastening element (51) is not detected in the receiving space (39) by the feeler portion (33). A blocking member (40) in the muzzle part (20) is movable into the guide channel (38) so as to block the fastening element strip (50).
