Abstract: A substrate treatment apparatus includes: a plurality of solution treatment modules stacked at multiple stages, each configured to perform a treatment using a treatment solution on a substrate; and a solution supply unit configured to supply the treatment solution to the plurality of solution treatment modules, wherein: the solution supply unit includes supply pipelines provided with a solution feeder corresponding to the solution treatment modules; and the solution feeder includes a pump configured to pressure-feed the treatment solution to the corresponding solution treatment module and a filter configured to filtrate the treatment solution, and is arranged adjacent to the corresponding solution treatment module in a horizontal direction.

Abstract: A resin composition comprising a polyphenylene ether (A) having a number average molecular weight of 500 to 5000; a cyclophosphazene compound (B); a non-halogen-based epoxy resin (C); a cyanate compound (D); and a filler (E).

Abstract: Provided are a resin composition having excellent electrical characteristics and heat resistance after moisture absorption, and being also excellent in flowing characteristics at the time of production of a laminate, and a prepreg, a metal foil-clad laminate and a resin sheet using the same. Used is a resin composition comprising a bifunctional phenylene ether oligomer (a) having a polyphenylene ether skeleton, an aralkyl-based cyanate ester compound (b), a bisphenol-based cyanate ester compound (c), an epoxy resin (d), a brominated carbonate oligomer (e), an inorganic filler (f), an alkoxynaphthol-based polymerization inhibitor (g) and/or a thioether-based polymerization inhibitor (h).

Abstract: To provide a prepreg that achieves a low dielectric loss tangent, despite the use of a polar solvent. A prepreg produced by impregnating or coating a base material with a varnish comprising an inorganic filler, a polar solvent, and a resin composition principally comprising polyphenylene ether, and subjecting the base material treated to a drying step, wherein the polar solvent content of the prepreg is 3 mass % or less, and a dielectric loss tangent at 10 GHz of a laminated board produced using this prepreg is 0.001-0.007.

Abstract: Chimeric polypeptides containing the N-terminal amino acid sequence of a glycoprotein hormone receptor polypeptide and a membrane anchor polypeptide, with a protease recognition site between the two, are disclosed. Also disclosed are nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides, expression vectors containing such nucleic acids and methods of producing such recombinant chimeric polypeptides, as well as uses thereof. The chimeric polypeptides are particularly useful for the production of soluble glycoprotein hormone receptor polypeptides.
