  • Publication number: 20240075383
    Abstract: At a position including coordinates of an input start possible point on a first display, an image indicating the input start possible point is displayed, and at a position including coordinates of an input target point on a second display, an image indicating the input target point is displayed. Then, if a coordinate input to the first display includes an input to a position including the coordinates of the input start possible point, and a coordinate input to the second display includes an input to a position including the coordinates of the input target point, based on trajectories of coordinates of the coordinate inputs to the first display and the second display, a positional relationship between the first display and the second display is determined.

  • Publication number: 20110024048
    Abstract: In a plasma oxidation processing apparatus (100) which supplies a high-frequency bias power to an electrode (7) embedded in a stage (5), the interior surface, which is to be exposed to a plasma, of an aluminum lid (27) which functions as an opposite electrode for the stage (5) is coated with a silicon film (48) as a protective film. Positioned adjacent to the silicon film (48), an upper liner (49a) and a thicker lower liner (49b) are provided on the interior surfaces of a second container (3) and a first container (2). This prevents a short circuit or abnormal electrical discharge to the interior surfaces, making it possible to form a proper high-frequency current path and enhance the efficiency of power consumption.
