  • Patent number: 8910760
    Abstract: In a brake system for a vehicle, a first control mode and a second control mode are provided by which it is possible to cope with variations in the running environments such as changes between traveling on a public road and traveling on a circuit racecourse and variations in road conditions such as changes between a dry road surface and a wet road surface. A mode change-over switch is disposed between a kill switch on the upper side and a starter switch on the lower side, on the vehicle body center side relative to a right grip. Switching between the first control mode and the second control mode is carried out by use of the mode change-over switch.

  • Patent number: 8759801
    Abstract: During ion implantation into a wafer, an ion beam current is measured, a change in vacuum conductance which changes in accordance with a change of the location of a structure operating in a vacuum beam line chamber or a vacuum treatment chamber is obtained, furthermore, changes in degree of vacuum at one or plural places are detected using a vacuum gauge installed in the vacuum beam line chamber or the vacuum treatment chamber. The amount of an ion beam current is corrected using the obtained vacuum conductance and the detected degree of vacuum at one or plural places, and the dose amount implanted into the wafer is controlled.

  • Patent number: 8735855
    Abstract: An ion beam irradiation method comprises calculating a scan voltage correction function with the maximum beam scan width depending on the measurement result of a beam current measurement device, calculating each of more than one scan voltage correction functions corresponding to each of scheduled beam scan widths depending on the calculated scan voltage correction functions while satisfying dose uniformity in the horizontal direction, measuring a mechanical Y-scan position during the ion implantation, changing the scan voltage correction function as a function of the measured mechanical Y-scan position so that the beam scan area becomes a D-shaped multistage beam scan area corresponding to an outer periphery of a half of the wafer to thereby reduce the beam scan width, and changing a mechanical Y-scan speed depending on the change of the measurement result of a side cup current measurement device to thereby keep the dose uniformity in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 7315034
    Abstract: In an irradiation system with an ion beam/charged particle beam having an energy filter, the energy filter is formed by deflection electrodes and a deflection magnet which can be switchingly used. The deflection magnet has a general window-frame shape and is formed with a hollow portion at its center. The deflection electrodes are installed, along with suppression electrodes, in a vacuum chamber arranged in the hollow portion of the deflection magnet. The deflection electrodes are installed with respect to the deflection magnet such that a deflection trajectory of a beam caused by a magnetic field and a deflection trajectory of a beam caused by an electric field overlap each other. Since the deflection electrodes and the deflection magnet can be switchingly used, the system can deal with a wider range of beam conditions and thus is widely usable.

  • Patent number: 7134422
    Abstract: In an air intake assembly, a portion of an inner peripheral wall of an intake funnel pipe is provided as a pivotally movable blocking body, so that when unthrottled, an inner wall surface of the blocking body is flush with the inner peripheral wall of the funnel pipe. The blocking body has a substantially trianglular outline shape, the apex of which is positioned on top when viewed along the axis of the support shaft. The support shaft is positioned at the apex of the blocking body, and allows pivotal movement of the blocking body, on the downstream side thereof, to allow adjustment of the rate of air flow through the funnel pipe. The blocking body within the funnel pipe of an air intake assembly allows a smooth flow of air therepast when actuated to throttle the air intake channel, and does not obstruct the air intake channel when inactive.
