Patent number: 11869780Abstract: A substrate liquid processing apparatus includes a processing liquid storage unit configured to store a processing liquid therein; a processing liquid drain unit configured to drain the processing liquid from the processing liquid storage unit; and a control unit. The control unit performs a first control in a constant concentration mode in which a concentration of the processing liquid in the processing liquid storage unit is regulated to a predetermined set concentration and a second control in a concentration changing mode in which the concentration of the processing liquid is changed. In the second control, a set concentration after concentration change is compared with a set concentration before the concentration change, and when the set concentration after the concentration change is lower, the control unit controls the processing liquid drain unit to start draining of the processing liquid.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITEDInventors: Takahiro Kawazu, Takafumi Tsuchiya, Hideaki Sato, Hidemasa Aratake, Osamu Kuroda, Takashi Nagai, Jiro Harada

Patent number: 5568674Abstract: In a slide fastener slider, an attachment lug stands from a slider body and has a pair of support projections facing each other, defining a recess for receiving a pintle of a pull tab. The lug additionally has opposite reinforcing projections situated outside the respective support projections. For assembly, the support projections are bent toward the recess by pressing, and at the same time, the reinforcing projections are bent against the associated support projections to seal and hold the pintle of the pull tab. As the pintle of the pull tab is thus attached to the attachment lug reliably, the lug is adequately durable against any movement of the pull tab.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1995Date of Patent: October 29, 1996Assignee: YKK CorporationInventors: Jiro Harada, Tsutomu Tomita, Hideo Takabatake
