Abstract: As a substrate transportation robot transports an unprocessed substrate W to a substrate transfer position P1, inert gas ejected from a substrate floating head 71 toward the bottom surface of the substrate W floats up the unprocessed substrate W. Driven by an actuator 74, the substrate floating head 71 floating up the unprocessed substrate W then moves down. Upon arrival of the unprocessed substrate W at a substrate processing position P3, a bottom rim portion of the substrate W engages with support pins 3, and as the substrate floating head 71 further moves down, the unprocessed substrate W is transferred to and mounted on the support pins 3. The substrate W is thus positioned at the substrate processing position P3, whereby the bottom rim portion of the substrate W and an opposing surface 5b of a spin base 5 are positioned close to each other and opposed against each other.

Abstract: Human adult hepatocytes are transplanted into an immunodeficient hepatopathy mouse and then human growth hormone is administered to the mouse to thereby elevate twice or more the replacement ratio by the human adult hepatocytes having been transplanted. Further, human growth hormone is administered to an immunodeficient hepatopathy mouse carrying human young hepatocytes transplanted thereinto so as to improve fatty liver of the mouse in which about 70% or more of the hepatocytes have been replaced by the human hepatocytes.

Abstract: After the rinsing processing is completed, the rotation speed of the substrate is reduced from 600 rpm to 10 rpm to form a puddle-like DIW liquid film. After the supply of DIW is stopped, the control unit waits for a predetermined time (0.5 seconds) so that the film thickness t1 of the puddle-like liquid film becomes approximately uniform. Then, IPA is discharged to a central part of the surface of the substrate at a flow rate of 100 (mL/min) for instance. By the supply of IPA, DIW is replaced with IPA at the central part of the surface of the substrate to form a replaced region. Further, after three seconds of IPA supply, the rotation speed of the substrate is accelerated from 10 rpm to 300 rpm. This causes the replaced region to expand in a radial direction of the substrate so that the entire surface of the substrate is replaced with the low surface-tension solvent.

Abstract: The CM controller 101 outputs times at which signals are sent to various communication terminal apparatuses in a compressed mode based on information on the compressed mode sent from a host station such as a control station apparatus to the scheduler 102, coder 105 and modulator 106. The scheduler 102 decides times (order) at which packet data is sent to the respective communication terminal apparatuses based on priority information such as channel conditions and times at which signals are sent in the compressed mode and outputs schedule information indicating the times for creating this packet data to the switch circuit 104. The switch circuit 104 outputs the packet data to be sent to the communication terminal apparatuses sequentially to the coder 105 according to the schedule created by the scheduler 102.

Abstract: When chuck pins are in a releasing state, support pins for supporting a lower surface of a substrate at respective heights different from each other support the substrate in an inclined position. When the chuck pins are in a gripping state, substrate gripping parts grip a substrate sidewise to separate the substrate upwardly from a substrate rest part, thereby holding the substrate in a horizontal position at a predetermined gripping height. After a liquid mass covering the substrate is formed, the chuck pins are changed from the gripping state to the releasing state to support the substrate having been gripped in the horizontal position into an inclined position, thereby draining the liquid mass from the surface of the substrate. The substrate with the liquid mass drained from the surface thereof is held and rotated in a horizontal position. Thus, the substrate is dried.
