  • Patent number: 8343284
    Abstract: A film removing device includes an approach stage having a flat approach part having a surface substantially flush with the surface of a substrate supported on a support member. The flat approach part faces a first side surface of the substrate at a corner of the substrate where the first side surface and a second side surface of the substrate join. A film removing nozzle spouts a solvent toward a peripheral part of the substrate and sucks a solution while being moved along the second side surface and the approach stage. A gas is spouted into a gap between the flat approach part and the corner of the substrate so that the gas flows through the gap toward the second side surface.

  • Patent number: 8346161
    Abstract: When a transmission request for new data is issued under a situation where a plurality of data are transmitted to a specific service area from a plurality of service areas, a feeder link station searches an available frequency to be allocated to the new data in a down-link frequency band of the specific service area, and when any of data communications is completed, allocates a down-link frequency band used in the data communication as a down-link frequency band for the new data. A satellite repeater arranges the new data on the down-link frequency band right after the data communication is completed following a relay control by the feeder link station.

  • Patent number: 8344462
    Abstract: A power amplifying semiconductor element is mounted in a package 13, having a heat dissipating surface acting as high frequency ground as well. The package 13 is mounted upside down with flip-chip mounting method in a concave portion 12 formed on a housing 11 having a high frequency ground acting as a heat dissipating surface as well. A cooling mechanism 14 thermally independent from that of the housing 11 is arranged on a heat dissipating base surface of the package 13 facing upward. The cooling mechanism 14 is composed of a heat dissipating fin 15 and a heat pipe 16. The present invention can prevent thermal influence upon other electronic components and can improve greatly the degree of freedom on the designing of the cooling system, because the cooling mechanism of the power amplifying semiconductor element is made independent from that of the housing 11.
