  • Patent number: 12042815
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus includes a processing tank, a holder, an organic solvent supply, a drainage port, a gas supply, and an exhaust port. The processing tank stores an aqueous layer. The holder holds a substrate. The organic solvent supply supplies an organic solvent onto the aqueous layer to form a liquid layer of the organic solvent. The drainage port discharges the aqueous layer from a bottom wall of the processing tank and causes the liquid layer of the organic solvent to descend from above the substrate to below the substrate. The gas supply supplies a gas of a water repellent agent to the liquid layer from above the processing tank while the liquid layer descends. The exhaust port is exposed on a side wall of the processing tank by the descending of the liquid layer and discharges the gas of the water repellent gas.

  • Publication number: 20240224363
    Abstract: A biomedical data relay device includes a first communication unit, an output unit, and a first controller. The first communication unit is capable of receiving biometric information from a biomedical device through wireless communication. The output unit is capable of outputting biometric information to a display. The output unit outputs, in a case where the first communication unit loses wireless communication with the biomedical device, the received biometric information to the display. The first controller counts a first time period in which the first communication unit is in a state of being unable to communicate wirelessly with the biomedical device. The first controller maintains a power-on state in a case where wireless communication becomes available before the first time period reaches a first specified time period, which is predetermined.
