Abstract: A substrate transfer apparatus includes forks that are vertically spaced apart from each other with a predetermined distance. When the forks take out the substrates from the first substrate containing part, each of the forks lifts the substrate and supports the same by moving upward from a pre-loading position located below the substrate to be taken out by a predetermined unloading stroke amount. A value of the predetermined distance is set to be equal to the sum of the distance between the substrates contained in the first substrate containing part and the unloading stroke amount.

Here, a multiplicity of (2 to N?1 number of) substrates are concurrently held by 2 to N?1 number of substrate holding devices among the N number of substrate holding devices and one substrate is loaded into the substrate processing chamber.

Abstract: In an image recording apparatus using an inkjet mode, printing paper fed from a paper feeder 2 is supplied onto tables 1 movable by an endless transport mechanism of a table moving mechanism 5. After each table 1 is transferred from the endless transport mechanism to linear motor mechanisms 61 of the table moving mechanism 5, an image is recorded by an image recorder 3. Subsequently, the table 1 is transferred from the linear motor mechanisms 61 to the endless transport mechanism, and then the printing paper on the table 1 is discharged by a paper discharger 4.

Abstract: A divided wall column allows for fractionation of multiple streams while maintaining separate product qualities. Effluents from multiple stages of a reaction system can be processed in a single divided wall column. The divided wall column can produce multiple cuts from each separated area, as well as at least one output from a common area.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a surgical therapeutic instrument includes an insertion unit, a treating unit that is arranged at one end of the insertion unit to be extended in the extending direction at a predetermined angle to the axial direction of the insertion unit, and an operation unit that is arranged at the other end of the insertion unit. The operation unit includes a rotating operation unit to rotate the treating unit, and an opening/closing operation unit to open/close the treating unit. The treating unit includes two pinching members having planar portions, is rotatable in accordance with the rotating operation, and can move at least one of the two pinching members in the direction substantially orthogonal to the plane of the planar portion in accordance with the opening/closing operation.

Abstract: At printing time, a blanket cylinder gear is meshed with a plate cylinder gear, whereby a first plate cylinder is rotatable by a drive motor. At image-recording time, the blanket cylinder gear is separated from the plate cylinder gear. In this state, a different motor drives the plate cylinder gear to rotate the first plate cylinder at low speed.

Abstract: The present invention permits the parameters of at least one of the frequency characteristic adjusting circuit and the effect circuit in its DSP to be modified for providing the line-out jacks with an optimum music signal when its speaker (SP) switch is turned off with no headphone connected. When the headphone plug is connected with no headphone jack, the effect setting switch is assigned with a function of speaker system effect setting. When the headphone plug is connected with a corresponding headphone jack, the effect setting switch is assigned with a function of headphone effect setting. Also, upon judging that the headphone plug is connected with the headphone jack, the function of an equalizer (EQ) switch is disabled.

Abstract: To obtain a high-quality cast product of a cylinder head, a proper directivity to the cooling process of the molten metal after a pouring process by utilizing the shape of a cylinder head is discussed. In a process where molten metal is injected to a casting mold cavity formed between upper and lower molds to fill it therewith so that the molten metal is solidified to form a cylinder head of an engine, a plurality of core protrusions corresponding to holes (plug holes and bolt holes) are formed in the upper mold, and a cooling means is attached to each of the core protrusions. With respect to cooling means attached to the plurality of core protrusions, those attached to the inner core protrusions comparatively closer to the center of the casting mold are designed so as to have a greater cooling capability than those attached to the outer core protrusions; therefore, with respect to the center portion and the outer portion of the casting mold cavity.
