  • Publication number: 20090258152
    Abstract: A coating apparatus and a coating method that are suitable for manufacturing a MEMS or a substrate having a through electrode are provided. A nozzle 14 gradually moves in the X-axis direction while being moved back and forth in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). When coating in the vertical direction is completed, the nozzle 14 gradually moves in the Y-axis direction while being moved back and forth in the lateral direction (X-axis direction). Thus, the nozzle 14 coats the surface of a substrate W while scanning the surface twice during a single coating, and uncoated areas can be eliminated by making the direction in the first scanning and the direction in the second scanning different from each other by 90°.

  • Patent number: 7603423
    Abstract: When a mail server 31 and a mail server 32 are in a failover state, switches 21, 22 select communication paths E, F. A temporary save server 50 stores email received from a mail reception server 10 during the failover in a disk storage 60, and after the completion of the failover, transmits to a mail server (e.g., mail server 32) that has been switched to function as a primary system an email stored in disk storage 60 and a write request for a disk storage 40. Mail server 32, upon receiving an email and a write request from temporary save server 50, stores the received email to disk storage 40 to update stored content.

  • Publication number: 20090041451
    Abstract: A lens barrel includes: a photographic optical system capable of altering focal length; a movable lens group constituting part of the photographic optical system, that moves along an optical axis when altering the focal length; an image sensor disposed at an image forming plane of the photographic optical system to capture a subject image; and a shutter unit disposed between the movable lens group and the image sensor, that comprises a shutter blade that blocks a photographic light flux passing through the photographic optical system. A principal-point of the photographic optical system moves as the movable lens group moves along the optical axis. The shutter unit is disposed by assuring that a distance between a range of motion endpoint of the movable lens group and the shutter blade is shorter than a distance between the image sensor and the shutter blades.
