Abstract: The present invention provides low hygroscopic forms of aripiprazole and processes for the preparation thereof which will not convert to a hydrate or lose their original solubility even when a medicinal preparation containing the anhydrous Aripiprazole crystals is stored for an extended period.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a substrate retaining mechanism into which retaining members on which substrates are placed are installed to retain the substrates; a substrate transfer unit configured to transfer at least one substrate; a detecting unit configured to detect states of the retaining members installed into the substrate retaining mechanism; a determination unit configured to compare data representing the states of the retaining members, which is obtained by the detecting unit, with master data, which is reference data obtained by detecting normal states of the retaining members, beforehand to determine the states of the retaining members; and a transfer control unit configured to control the substrate transfer unit according to the determination of the determination unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides low hygroscopic forms of aripiprazole and processes for the preparation thereof which will not convert to a hydrate or lose their original solubility even when a medicinal preparation containing the anhydrous aripiprazole crystals is stored for an extended period.

Abstract: During a carrying operation, the position, transportation origin, and transportation destination of a carrier or a boat can be easily checked. A carrying system is configured to carry a substrate, a manipulation unit is configured to display an operation state of the carrying system on a manipulation screen, and a control unit is configured to control an operation of the carrying system. The manipulation unit displays a carrying system icon indicating the carrying system which is a carrying target object and a carrying-out icon at predetermined positions of the manipulation screen corresponding to a transportation origin of the carrying system, and a carrying-in icon at a predetermined position of the manipulation screen corresponding to the transportation destination of the carrying system.
