  • Publication number: 20210009271
    Abstract: A seat unit for an aircraft includes an intermediate portion disposed between a first seat and a second seat. In a bed state, the intermediate portion is adjacent to a first backrest and a second backrest while a height of an upper surface of the intermediate portion substantially coincides with the height of the first backrest and the second backrest. The intermediate portion includes a vertically movable partition plate. In a state in which the partition plate is housed in the intermediate portion, the upper end of the partition plate is located at or below the height of the upper surface of the intermediate portion, and when the partition plate is raised, the upper end of the partition plate can move to a position above the eye level of a user seated on a at least a first seating portion or a second seating portion in a seat state.

  • Patent number: 8846145
    Abstract: A liquid processing method forms a coating film by supplying and pouring a coating solution from a coating solution nozzle onto a surface of a substrate held substantially horizontally by a substrate holder. In the liquid processing method, a process for photographing a leading end portion of a coating solution nozzle is provided. When performing a process for anti-drying of the coating solution for a long period of time in advance, a position of the coating solution and a position of an anti-drying liquid are set by using a soft scale displayed on a screen where the photographed image is displayed. Therefore, a dispense control is performed based on a set value without depending on the naked eyes and a control for suppressing the drying of the coating solution in the leading end portion of the coating solution nozzle is performed.

  • Patent number: 8236378
    Abstract: A wet processing system detects a globule of a process solution in a drippy or dripping state from the tip of any one of process solution pouring nozzles being moved to a pouring position for pouring the process solution onto a substrate by obtaining image data on the process solution pouring nozzle, and takes proper measures to prevent the process solution from dripping. A wet processing system 1 pours a process solution, such as a resist solution, through one of process solution pouring nozzles 10 onto a surface of a substrate, such as a wafer W, held substantially horizontally by a substrate holding device 41 surrounded by a cup 5 to process the surface by a wet process. A nozzle carrying mechanism 10a carries the process solution pouring nozzles 10 between a home position on a nozzle bath 14 and a pouring position above the substrate held by the substrate holding device 41. An optical image of the tips of the process solution pouring nozzles 10 is obtained by an image pickup means, such as a camera 17.

  • Patent number: 6973370
    Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus can align a substrate with a high precision and a high speed by monitoring a mark formed on a surface of the substrate; operating an amount of misalignment between the center of the substrate and a rotation center of a substrate support member; determining a presence of the misalignment and adjusting the substrate such that the center of the substrate coincides with the rotation center of the substrate support member.

  • Patent number: 6915183
    Abstract: The present invention has a first optical detection mark having a predetermined positional coordinate in a lateral direction with respect to a carrier opening of a processing unit through which a carrier apparatus enters and exits, a second optical detection mark having a predetermined positional coordinate in a vertical direction with respect to the carrier opening, and an optical sensor provided on the substrate carrier apparatus for detecting the first or second optical detection mark. The substrate carrier apparatus is rotated by a predetermined angle from a position of the substrate carrier apparatus where the optical sensor detects the first optical detection mark, and the substrate carrier apparatus is moved in the vertical direction by a predetermined amount of movement from a position of the substrate carrier apparatus where the optical sensor detects the second optical detection mark.
