  • Publication number: 20240123100
    Abstract: A sterilization system of an embodiment includes a light source unit, a horizontal angle adjustment unit and/or a vertical angle adjustment unit, and a controller. The light source unit emits ultraviolet rays in a radiating form. The horizontal angle adjustment unit adjusts a horizontal angle of the light source unit by causing rotation of the light source unit in a horizontal direction. The vertical angle adjustment unit adjusts a vertical angle of the light source unit by causing rotation of the light source unit in a vertical direction. The controller receives a marker signal transmitted from a marker via a marker sensor, controls rotation of the horizontal angle adjustment unit and/or the vertical angle adjustment unit to direct an optical axis of the light source unit to the marker, and stores a horizontal angle and/or a vertical angle of the light source unit in response to a position setting request.

  • Publication number: 20240120198
    Abstract: A conveyance apparatus configured to convey a substrate (100) in order to irradiate the substrate (100) with laser light for forming a line-shaped irradiation area (15a) according to an embodiment includes a levitation unit (10) configured to levitate the substrate (100) over its top surface, a holding mechanism (12) configured to hold the substrate (100), and a moving mechanism (13) configured to move the holding mechanism (12) in a direction inclined from a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the line-shaped laser light in a plan view so as to change an irradiation place of the laser light in the substrate (100).

  • Patent number: 10972313
    Abstract: A relay device includes: a memory; and a hardware processor coupled to the memory. The hardware processor: receives data from a sensor; backs up the data from the sensor, in the memory, to store data failed to be transmitted to a server on a network; determines, based on a server communication status representing a state of data transmission to the server, a priority for data to be transmitted to the server among the data from the sensor and the backed-up data; transmits, to the server, data determined to have a highest priority among the data from the sensor and the backed-up data; and determines the server communication status based on whether communication with the server fails.

  • Patent number: 10246567
    Abstract: There is provided a polyolefin microporous film which is excellent in taking-up stability in a production line and a processing line of the polyolefin microporous film, and further in a line for a battery taking-up step, and hardly generates step deviation when a roll thereof has received an impact. The polyolefin microporous film has a compression elastic modulus of 0.1 to 1,000 kPa, and a ratio of a tensile elastic modulus in the longitudinal direction to a tensile elastic modulus in the transverse direction of 1.5 to 7.8.
