Patent number: 9460953Abstract: A mechanism for handling substrates such as semiconductor wafers is disclosed. The mechanism supports the substrate in a tilted orientation to ensure that undesirable contact between a bowed substrate and the mechanism does not occur. The structure that supports the substrate in a tilted orientation may be fixed or adjustable. A sensor may be provided to measure and/or monitor a distance between a substrate and the mechanism. Alternatively, a sensor for determining contact between the substrate and the mechanism may be provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2013Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Rudolph Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Isao Sato, Hiroki Ueno, Yasutoshi Ito, Masataka Ryu, Troy Palm

Patent number: 6672296Abstract: A collecting exhaust port 18 provided in a cylinder head 12 is comprised of exhaust port sections 46 extending from exhaust valve bores 35 in cylinders 14, and an exhaust collecting section 47 in which the exhaust port sections 46 are collected. The cylinder head 12 includes a protrusion 49 projecting in an arch shape outside a side wall 111 of a cylinder block 11. The exhaust collecting section 47 of the collecting exhaust port 18 directly faces an inner surface of a side wall 12 of the protrusion 49. Water jackets J2 and J3 for cooling the protrusion 49 are provided in upper and lower surfaces of the protrusion 49 having the collecting exhaust port 18 defined therein. The water jackets J2 and J3 are not provided between the side wall 121 of the protrusion 49 and the exhaust collecting section 47. Thus, the compact cylinder head 12 having the collecting exhaust port 18 integrally provided therein can be formed, while avoiding the complication of the structure of a core.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2003Date of Patent: January 6, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasutoshi Ito, Sadao Kojima, Teruo Kobayashi, Masakatsu Honda, Shinji Yamada, Masaki Kanehiro, Naohiro Isogai
