Patent number: 8403652Abstract: A molecular pump has a cylindrical casing, a stator portion formed in the casing, a shaft disposed in the stator portion, a bearing pivotally supporting the shaft with respect to the stator portion, a rotor that is attached to the shaft and rotates integrally with the shaft, a motor for rotationally driving the shaft, a shock absorbing member, and a flange portion provided at an end portion of the casing. The flange portion has a bolt hole through which extends a bolt for fixing the casing and a fixed member to each other and an insertion hole which is provided adjacent to the bolt hole and in which the shock absorbing member is inserted so that at least one end side of the shock absorbing member extending along an axial direction of the bolt is spaced apart from the bolt.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2007Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Edwards Japan LimitedInventors: Yasushi Maejima, Yoshinobu Ohtachi, Rumiko Wada, Yoshihiro Enomoto, Chris Bailey, Dawn Stephenson, Kate Wilson

Publication number: 20090081056Abstract: To form a shock absorbing structure more easily. A shock absorbing structure for consuming shock energy is provided on the flange of a molecular pump. An insertion hole is provided in the flange, and a shock absorbing member formed by an independent and small part is fitted and fixed in this insertion hole. A bolt hole is provided to cause a bolt for fixing the flange and a vacuum vessel in the shock absorbing member to pass therethrough. The shock absorbing member is provided with a thin-wall portion by forming a cavity portion. In the case where a shock in the rotation direction of a rotor portion is produced in the molecular pump, for example, by fracture of the rotor portion, the flange slides in the rotation direction of the rotor portion together with the molecular pump. Thus, the bolt that fixes the flange to the flange of the vacuum pump hits the shock absorbing member, thereby the shock absorbing member is subjected to plastic deformation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2007Publication date: March 26, 2009Inventors: Yasushi Maejima, Yoshinobu Ohtachi, Rumiko Wada, Yoshihiro Enomoto, Chris Bailey, Dawn Stephenson, Kate Wilson

Patent number: 7438534Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for controlling a process flow rate and a pressure in a vacuum process chamber that is evacuated by a turbomolecular pump. A throttle valve between the pump and the process chamber is controlled to regulate the pressure and flow rate. A backing valve downstream of the pump is also controlled to maintain the setting of the throttle valve within a preferred, stable operating range.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2005Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Edwards Vacuum, Inc.Inventors: Peter John Holland, Kate Wilson, Dawn Stephenson

Patent number: 7050489Abstract: One problem, frequently encountered with VDSL transmission systems, is that upstream FEXT produced by system users having short wires can be very strong. Users having shorter wires get high bit rates whereas users having longer wires get low bit rates. In extreme cases it may happen that users with wire lengths greater than 1000 meter cannot transmit data upstream. The present invention provides a VDST transmission system with a plurality of modems. The modems are located at varying distances from a central station. There is a target bit rate for each modem. That modems on shorter wires have control means for reducing their transmit power. This reduces the FEXT produced by these modems enabling modems on longer wires to transmit at higher bit rates.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 1999Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: STMicroelectronics NVInventors: Frank Sjöberg, Sarah Kate Wilson, Rickard Nilsson, Daniel Bengtsson, Mikael Isaksson, Tomas Nordström, Per Ödling, Gunnar Bahlenberg, Magnus Johansson, Lennart Olsson, Sven-Göran Ökvist

Patent number: 6397883Abstract: An equipment skid for mounting ancillary equipment to support a semiconductor processing tool. The equipment skid comprises a plurality of equipment sections and a service section. The ancillary equipment is mounted within the equipment sections and the plurality of equipment and service sections are connected to one another in an in-line relationship to define a framework to allow external connections between the ancillary equipment and the semiconductor processing tool to pass through a region overlying the footprint of the service section. The equipment and service sections are preferably covered by an enclosure to contain leakage.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 1999Date of Patent: June 4, 2002Assignee: The BOC Group, Inc.Inventors: Graeme Huntley, Kate Wilson
