Publication number: 20060086460Abstract: In the present invention, an outer peripheral plate is provided in a manner to surround a held substrate. A small gap exists between the outer peripheral plate and the outer peripheral portion of the substrate. Gas blowout ports are formed on the upper surface of an inner cup on the rear face side of the substrate. During cleaning of the substrate by a cleaning solution supplied onto the substrate, a gas is blown out from the gas blowout ports to form a gas flow that flows from the rear face side of the substrate and passes by the lower side of the gap outward to the outer peripheral plate side. The liquid such as the cleaning solution leaking through the gap is swept outward by the gas flow and flows along the rear face of the outer peripheral plate to be drained. According to the present invention, the liquid can be prevented from running around to the rear face side of the substrate during developing treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2005Publication date: April 27, 2006Inventors: Tetsuya Kitamura, Shuuichi Nishikido

Patent number: 6382770Abstract: The coat liquid 34 is applied all over the under surface 2b of the insulation sheet 2. At this time, the coat liquid 31 is also applied into the apertures 7. Excessive coat liquid 35 is absorbed by the absorption sheet 32 places over the upper surface 2a of the insulation sheet 2. As a result, the preferable amount of the coat liquid 34 is coated over the under surface 2b and the aperture side walls 7b defining the apertures 7. When the coat liquid 34 is dried and hardened the slide facilitating layer 20 and the charge prevention layer 70 are formed on the under surface 2b and the aperture side walls 7b.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1998Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tetsuya Kitamura

Patent number: 6332670Abstract: A film 33 is adhered using an adhesive layer 32 to the lower surface of an insulation sheet 31 that contacts the peripheral surface of atoner bearing roller. Apertures 34 are formed through the insulation sheet 31, the adhesive layer 32 and the film 33. An indentation portion 37 is formed around each aperture 34 in an upper surface 39 of the insulation sheet 31. Because the insulation sheet 31 and the film 33 are not attached into an integral unit using baking, the resultant member will not warp by differences in thermal expansion of the insulation sheet 31 and the film 33, as would occur if the two were baked together. Because the film 33 is extremely hard and smooth, toner will not pierce into the film 33 .Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 1999Date of Patent: December 25, 2001Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shigeru Kagayama, Tetsuya Kitamura

Patent number: 6253025Abstract: A sub-picture packet is encoded using a packet header containing a time stamp, sub-picture data containing compressed pixel data, one or more display control sequences, and a sub-picture unit header. The time stamp indicates the playback start time of the sub-picture packet. The display control sequence defines the order of display of the sub-picture data. The sub-picture unit header indicates the size of the sub-picture packet and the location of the display control sequence. The encoded sub-picture packet is decoded, and displayed based on the display control sequence.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1997Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Tetsuya Kitamura, Tae Aoki, Toshiaki Shirasuna, Hideki Mimura

Patent number: 6219043Abstract: A method and system in which a section of a previously encoded digital bit stream is replaced with another section of encoded video. In order to remove a section of encoded video, it is necessary to determine the beginning and ending points of the encoded video in the digitally encoded bit stream. The addresses of the beginning and ending points of the encoded data cannot be simply looked up but are calculated by summing the bits consumed by each picture, the number of bits of the sequence header of each picture, the number of bits of each Group of Pictures (GOP) header, and all stuff bits. In order to encode the video which is to be inserted in place of the removed video, a process is performed which prevents decoding artifacts from appearing. This is accomplished by determining the last P-picture before the edit point and using it as a reference frame for frames after the edit point.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2000Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignees: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba, Time Warner Entertainment Co., L.P.Inventors: Jay Yogeshwar, Sheau-Bao Ng, Teiichi Ichikawa, Hiroaki Unno, Hideki Mimura, Tetsuya Kitamura, Christopher J.

Patent number: 6196666Abstract: An aperture electrode assembly having an insulating sheet, made of polyimide, in which a plurality of apertures having a diameter of 80 &mgr;m are formed in a line. A control electrode, made of copper leaf having a thickness of 8 &mgr;m, surrounds each of the apertures on the insulating sheet. A coating layer containing carbon particles as a conductive material is formed so as to cover both the control electrodes and the surface of the insulating sheet. As the material of the coating layer, the coating liquid is prepared by mixing the carbon particles in an insulating binder made of an organic synthetic resin, preferably, of polyimide resin. The coating liquid is applied onto the insulating sheet and the control electrodes, and baked at a temperature lower than 300° C., preferably between 200° C. and 280° C., for several minutes. A back coating layer is provided to the back surface of the insulating sheet.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1998Date of Patent: March 6, 2001Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuya Kitamura, Shigeru Kagayama

Patent number: 6167002Abstract: A table of a management region on the disc contains a disc identifier that represents the type of the data recording format of the disc, a number-of-disc-sides identifier that represents whether the disc is a single-sided disc or a double-sided disc, and a disc side identifier that represents whether the reproducing disc is side A or side B of a double-sided disc. A disc identifier 4 that represents the type of the data recording format of the file is recorded in a file (n) table including management information of the file. A reproducing apparatus reads the disc identifiers from the PVD table and the file (n) table and determines whether or not the disc and the file are reproducible. In addition, the reproducing apparatus reads the number-of-disc-sides identifier 2 from the PVD table and determines whether or not the disc is a double-sided disc or a single-sided disc. When the disc is a double-sided disc, the reproducing apparatus determines whether the reproducing side is side A or side B.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1998Date of Patent: December 26, 2000Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Kazuhiko Taira, Hideki Mimura, Shinichi Kikuchi, Tetsuya Kitamura
