  • Patent number: 11715649
    Abstract: A processing fluid flows into a processing space SP by way of a flow passage and discharge openings 174, 178 having substantially the same cross-sectional shape as that of a gap space formed in a clearance between a wall surface of the processing space SP and a substrate holder 15. On the other hand, the processing fluid having passed through the processing space SP is discharged to an outside via discharge flow passages 183, 187 after flowing into the buffer space 182, 186 having substantially the same width as the gap space. From these, the processing fluid can be caused to flow into the buffer space 182, 186 while the laminar flow state is maintained in the gap space. Thus, the generation of a turbulence in the processing space SP can be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 11628479
    Abstract: An automated cleaning system is disclosed having a track or rail, and a body having a cylindrical or capsule configuration. The cleaning system further includes a cleaning or disinfectant solution disposed within the body and one or more nozzles secured to one or more sides of the body for dispensing the cleaning solution. The cleaning system also includes one or more wheels or bearings secured to the body, wherein the wheels or bearings are at least partially received within the track. Further, the track can be suspended from overhead within a structure. Here, the cleaning system can be automated and programmed to operate during predefined schedules with little to no human intervention, thereby minimizing the risk associated with cleaning surfaces and open areas, among other advantages.
