  • Patent number: 10286426
    Abstract: A columnar laminar flow generation device includes: a placement part on which to place a processing target; a gas blow-out part having an opening; and a gas suction path; wherein the placement part is positioned in a space whose outer periphery surface is constituted by extending the interior wall of the opening in the direction vertical to the opening; the opening has, in its interior wall, a gas blow-out port through which a gas is blown out in one direction vertical to the opening; and the gas suction path is formed in such a way that it suctions the gas in the direction opposite to the one in which the gas is blown out. The columnar laminar generation device is capable of generating columnar laminar flows.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9139419
    Abstract: A resonant transducer includes a silicon single crystal substrate, a silicon single crystal resonator disposed over the silicon single crystal substrate, a shell made of silicon, surrounding the resonator with a gap, and forming a chamber together with the silicon single crystal substrate, an exciting module configured to excite the resonator, a vibration detecting module configured to detect vibration of the resonator, a first layer disposed over the chamber, the first layer having a through-hole, a second layer disposed over the first layer, a third layer covering the first layer and the second layer, and a projection extending from the second layer toward the resonator, the projection being spatially separated from the resonator, the projection being separated from the first layer by a first gap, the second layer being separated from the first layer by a second gap, the first gap is communicated with the second gap.
