  • Publication number: 20240112917
    Abstract: [Problem to be solved] Provided is a method for processing a substrate having high etching selectivity of silicon with respect to silicon-germanium and further having a high selection ratio of silicon with respect to a silicon oxide film and/or a silicon nitride film in surface processing when manufacturing various types of silicon devices, particularly various types of silicon composite semiconductor devices containing silicon-germanium. [Solution] A method for processing a substrate includes: bringing an etching solution into contact with a substrate including a silicon film and a silicon-germanium film to perform etching; and selectively removing the silicon film, in which the etching solution contains an organic alkali and water and has a dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.20 ppm or less.

  • Patent number: 11869653
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus that sends and receives data to and from an image storage apparatus that manages a medical file for each examination includes a first hardware processor. The first hardware processor generates image data from character information included in a non-image file related to examination, attaches examination information related to the non-image file to the generated image data, and creates a file converted to image. The first hardware processor further sends the created file converted to image to the image storage apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20210370093
    Abstract: A dose management device manages dose information of radiation doses in radiation events where radiographic images are generated in response to radiation on a subject. The dose management device includes a controller that acquires a target piece of the dose information, identifies a radiographic image corresponding to the target piece based on correspondence between each of the radiographic images and a piece of the dose information in a radiation event in which the radiographic images are generated, and outputs the identified radiographic image.

  • Publication number: 20210295983
    Abstract: A medical information management apparatus includes a storage and a hardware processor. The storage stores medical information, doctor identification information, and a confirmation status of the medical information that are associated with each other. The hardware processor obtains doctor identification information of a doctor that operates a display. In displaying target medical information on the display, in response to the target medical information being associated with the obtained doctor identification information in the storage, the hardware processor gives confirmation authority to the doctor, the confirmation authority being authority to determine a confirmation status of the target medical information in the storage as having been confirmed. The hardware processor provides the display with a confirmation instruction receiver for determining the confirmation status of the target medical information as having been confirmed.

  • Patent number: 9994078
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire (1) includes a tread portion (2) having at least one heat-dissipating recess portion (9). The recess portion (9) includes an opening edge (10) and an inner wall portion (11). The opening edge (10) includes a linear first edge (10a) and second edge (10b) opposite each other. The inner wall portion (11) includes a first wall surface (11a) extending from the first edge (10a) to a bottom portion (9a) at the deepest position of the recess portion (9), and a second wall surface (11b) extending from the second edge (10b) to the bottom portion (9a). An inclination angle ([theta]1) of the first wall surface (11a) with respect to a first normal (12a) to a contact surface passing the first edge (10a) is greater than an inclination angle ([theta]2) of a second wall surface (22b) with respect to a second normal (23b) to the contact surface passing the second edge (21b).
