Patent number: 8220179Abstract: The present invention provides a disc drying device and a disc drying method that allow simultaneous and quick drying of plural discs by a batch process and realize miniaturization of the device. In the present invention, plural discs arranged along a single axis are simultaneously chucked at outer peripheries thereof so that central openings of the discs internally form a space; plural nozzles are disposed in the space so as to supply hot water from inner peripheral surfaces of two sides of each of the discs to heat the discs with the hot water; and the discs are simultaneously rotated to thereby move the hot water from inner peripheries to outer peripheries of the discs and discharge the hot water outwardly of the outer peripheries by centrifugal force. The discharged hot water flows through valley grooves provided in inner wall surfaces of a water receiving cover to the lower side of the discs to be discharged to the outside.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2010Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Hitachi High-Technologies CorporationInventors: Makoto Maruyama, Brian Rattray

Patent number: 4743909Abstract: A method of and apparatus for setting the direction of a parabolic antenna towards a broadcasting satellite, suitable for use in the case where a plurality of satellites are available for service. The elevation angle and the azimuth angle of the antenna with respect to each satellite are minutely adjusted while the state of receiving of waves from the satellite is watched, and the values of the elevation and azimuth angles for each satellite are stored in a memory section when the optimum state of receiving is attained. When the user selects one of the satellites through a selecting section, a control section operates to activate a driving section to swing the antenna vertically and horizontally in accordance with the stored optimum data, thus directing the antenna correctly towards the designated satellite.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 1987Date of Patent: May 10, 1988Inventors: Akihiro Nakamura, Takeo Horiuchi, Makoto Maruyama, Toshiaki Inoue
