  • Publication number: 20240087929
    Abstract: Described herein is a technique capable of detecting a substrate state without contacting the substrate. According to one aspect of the technique, there is provided (a) loading a substrate retainer, where a plurality of substrates is placed, into a reaction tube; (b) processing the plurality of the substrates by supplying a gas into the reaction tube; (c) unloading the substrate retainer out of the reaction tube after the plurality of the substrates is processed; and (d) detecting the plurality of the substrates placed on the substrate retainer after the substrate retainer is rotated by a first angle with respect to a transferable position, wherein the plurality of the substrates is transferable to/from the substrate retainer in the transferable position.

  • Patent number: 8348639
    Abstract: A high performance sealing device having an excellent pressure resistance and realizing a prevention of damage. The sealing device usable at a working pressure of 0 to 2 MPa, and not damaged even if the pressure of high-pressure fuel of 5 MPa or higher is applied thereto, wherein high pressure fuel on the high pressure side is sealed by a first seal part, oil from a cam side on a low pressure side is sealed by a second seal part, and the fuel slightly leaked due to failure of scraping at the first seal part is sealed by the second seal part to form a dual seal structure. A resin ring coming into slidable sealing contact with a shaft is used in the first seal part, whereby abnormal abrasion does not occur even when fuel having less lubricity is used, and the durability of the seal is increased.

  • Patent number: 6938901
    Abstract: The invention relates to a combustion gas seal for injectors and to a seal structure disposed therewith, for preventing leakage of combustion gas in a state in which an injector is mounted to an engine head. And, the number of parts is reduced, vibration and noise are reduced, and sealing performance is improved. A tapered surface, in which an clearance between the tapered surface and an inner peripheral surface of a mounting hole of the engine head narrows from an engine bore side towards an atmospheric side, is disposed at a groove bottom of an attachment groove of the injector, and an abutment portion that abuts against the tapered surface is disposed at the combustion gas seal for injectors.

  • Publication number: 20050145131
    Abstract: A method for readily applying a marking to an object made of PTFE, for example, a seal ring provided with a cut portion on a part of a circumference, or an intermediate product for the seal ring, comprising the steps of preparing an object to be marked that is made of PTFE, irradiating a laser beam onto the object to be marked to alter the state of only an irradiated surface of the PTFE, and forming a marking with a white-based color on the irradiated surface of the PTFE so that the irradiated surface exhibits a color tone different from that of a non-irradiated surface of the PTFE.
