  • Publication number: 20250100023
    Abstract: A solvent supply unit of a substrate processing device is disposed at a position higher than an opening of an upper surface of a processing tank, and supplies a mist-like solvent from an outside of the processing tank toward an inside of the processing tank in plan view. When a substrate is immersed in processing liquid, a control unit performs a solvent supply operation of decompressing an inside of the chamber and supplying the mist-like solvent from the solvent supply unit. In a solvent supply state in which the inside of the chamber is decompressed and the solvent is supplied, the control unit causes a lifter to take out the substrate from the processing liquid in the processing tank, and then opens a QDR valve to discharge the processing liquid from the processing tank. In the solvent supply state, the control unit causes the lifter to lower the substrate to a lower position in the processing tank in which the processing liquid is not stored, and then causes the lifter to raise the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11453295
    Abstract: A control system for a vehicle to prevent a reduction in a drive force due to increase in an internal resistance of a battery. A controller calculates a command value of an output power of the battery to be transmitted to a motor in future, and predicts an internal resistance of the battery at the point to discharge the electric power from the battery in the amount of the command value. If it is expected that the battery will not be possible to discharge the electric power in the amount of the command value, the controller reduces a load on the battery by increasing an amount of the electric power supplied to the motor from the generator before the battery can no longer discharge the electric power in the amount of the command value.
