  • Patent number: 11446569
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for displaying content are provided. According to a content-related information display system, a first memory stores content. A first processor outputs a drawing command for displaying the content on a first display, and generates progress status information which is related to a progress status of the content. A second memory stores content-related information which is related to the content. A second processor specifies the content-related information according to the progress status information generated by the first processor. A second display displays the content-related information according to a player input received by the second processor. The first processor generates the progress status information in response to at least one of a predetermined condition being satisfied in relation to the progress status of the content or a specific operation being received by the first processor.

  • Publication number: 20200312637
    Abstract: A plasma processing apparatus includes a processing chamber, a mounting table, a supporting shaft unit, a high frequency power supply and a high frequency shield. The mounting table mounts thereon a processing target in the processing chamber. The supporting shaft unit supports the mounting table from an opposite surface of a substrate mounting surface, has a protruding part that protrudes to the outside while penetrating through a wall of the processing chamber, and is connected to a rotation mechanism that rotates the mounting table about an axis. The high frequency power supply supplies a high frequency power for plasma processing. The high frequency shield covers the protruding part of the supporting shaft unit to suppress leakage of the high frequency power to the outside. The module unit is entirely detachable to divide each of the supporting shaft unit and the high frequency shield into parts in a longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 9480920
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a content-related information display system capable of acquiring related information corresponding to contents, such as a game, during a reproduction of the contents by a first apparatus without stopping the reproduction of the contents by the first apparatus. The first apparatus displays the contents on a first display. When a predetermined condition is satisfied during the reproduction of the contents, the first apparatus transmits reproducing status information on a reproducing status of the content to a second apparatus. The second apparatus receives the reproducing status information and specifies content-related information according to the reproducing status information. The second apparatus displays the content-related information on a second display.

  • Publication number: 20120328273
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thermal processing apparatus and method that can acquire a high throughput and reduce the occupation area of the thermal processing apparatus. A wafer is heated by an LED module that irradiates infrared light corresponding to the absorption wavelength of the wafer, and therefore, the wafer can be rapidly heated. Since an LED is used as a heat source and a temperature rise of LED is small, a cooling process after the heating process can be performed in the same process area as the heating process area. As a result, an installation area of the thermal processing apparatus can be reduced. Since the time for moving between a heating process area and a cooling process area can be saved, a time required for a series of processes including the heating process and the subsequent cooling process can be shortened, thereby improving a throughput.
