Patent number: 6238488Abstract: A cleaning gas is supplied into a processing chamber defined by a processing vessel included in a film forming system, and the temperature of a gas contained in the processing vessel is measured continuously for a predetermined time by a gas temperature measuring means disposed in the processing vessel. The temperature measured by the gas temperature measuring means rises gradually while the cleaning gas flowing through the processing chamber is reacting with an unnecessary film deposited on the surfaces of the processing vessel. A cleaning operation terminating point is determined on the basis of the time-varying measured temperature of the gas measured by the gas temperature measuring means. Preferably, the cleaning operation terminating point determining means determines that the cleaning operation is to be terminated at a time point a certain time after the variation of the measured temperature past a peak.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1999Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Yoshiyuki Fujita, Jun Hirai, Azusa Iitaka, Tatsuya Tamura

Patent number: 6223497Abstract: A window for automobiles or the like, including a frame member which is composed of a thermoplastic synthetic resin material and formed integrally with a window plate. The frame member includes a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional portion formed of lip and web sections which are spaced from and opposed to each other on outer and rear surfaces of the window plate, respectively, and connected with each other by a bridge section having a continuous hollow inner space therein. The frame member is formed by injecting into a mold cavity a relatively small amount, as compared with the volume of the mold cavity, of molten thermoplastic synthetic resin material, and by injecting compressed gas into the resin material to urge the resin material against inner surfaces of the mold defining the cavity.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1999Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Assignee: Hashimoto Forming Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinichi Ohtake, Tatsuya Tamura

Patent number: 5437131Abstract: The disclosure relates to a molding member, for instance for automobile front window plates, as well as a method of manufacturing such molding members. The molding member has a lip section in the form of a ridge which extends throughout the entire length. The lip section bears against the surface of the window plate along the upper portion to realize a flush outer surface between the upper edge of the window plate and the body panel, but is spaced therefrom along the side portions to define a weir. The weir can be formed by deforming a predetermined location of the ridge, and prevents flow of the rain water across the molding member to preserve the driver's or passenger's sight through an adjacent side window.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1994Date of Patent: August 1, 1995Assignee: Hashimoto Forming Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Tatsuya Tamura

Patent number: 5197243Abstract: A window for automobiles or the like includes a window plate and an integral frame member along at least one edge of the window plate. The window is manufactured by preparing a window plate and a pre-shaped frame body which comprises a main portion and a surface layer covering an outer side of the main portion. The main portion of the pre-shaped frame body is composed of a thermoplastic synthetic resin material having a relatively high dielectric loss and containing a heat foamable agent therein. The surface layer is composed of a non-foamable thermoplastic synthetic resin material. The pre-shaped frame body is subjected to a dielectric heating in a mold, to cause the foamable agent in the main portion of the pre-shaped frame body to expand in the mold cavity.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 1989Date of Patent: March 30, 1993Assignee: Hashimoto Forming Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiyuki Mozawa, Tatsuya Tamura
