  • Patent number: 11915964
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus for processing a substrate, includes a stage including a through-hole vertically penetrating the stage, a pin inserted into the through-hole, and a support member configured to support the pin. The pin has a protrusion configured to protrude from the upper surface of the stage through the through-hole, and a large diameter portion located below the protrusion and formed thicker than the protrusion. The stage further includes a lateral hole formed to extend from a side surface of the stage so as to intersect with the through-hole. The support member is inserted into the lateral hole. The support member is configured to support the pin by an engagement with the large diameter portion while the support member is inserted into the lateral hole. An upper opening end of the through-hole is thinner than the large diameter portion.

  • Publication number: 20240046525
    Abstract: A reference specifying unit specifies reference values corresponding to a plurality of points of point cloud data. A residual decoding unit decodes attribute residuals of the plurality of points from encoded residual data obtained by encoding the attribute residuals, the attribute residuals of the plurality of points being residuals of attribute values of the plurality of points with respect to the reference values. An attribute value calculation unit calculates, for each of the plurality of points, an attribute value of the point from an attribute residual and a reference value.

  • Publication number: 20220405981
    Abstract: A decoding method executed by a decoding device for decoding encoded data from point cloud data includes: acquiring an occupancy code represented in an N (1?N?8)-ary tree structure by decoding the encoded data; repeating a process of generating an N-ary tree structure until a block has a predetermined size, the process being a process in which a cube configured to include all the point cloud data is divided into eight blocks and thereafter when a bit of an occupancy code corresponding to a divided block is 1, the block is further divided; and acquiring, as coordinates of a point in the point cloud data, coordinates of a block of the predetermined size where a bit of an occupancy code corresponding to the block of the predetermined size is 1. In the repeating, the decoding device determines a value of N of the N-ary tree structure for a block to be divided on a basis of an inclusion relation between the block to be divided and a non-occupancy region set in advance.
