Abstract: The throughput is improved by changing a timing of beginning aligning between a mold and a substrate depending on an area in a pattern-forming region where a pattern can be formed. An imprinting method for forming a pattern of an imprint material in a plurality of pattern-forming regions on a substrate using a mold having a pattern portion, having contacting the mold and the imprint material and relatively aligning the mold and the pattern-forming region based on a positional relationship between the mold and an alignment mark of each pattern-forming region, in which, in the aligning, a timing of beginning the aligning is earlier relative to the contacting if an area in the plurality of pattern-forming regions where a pattern can be formed is a second area that is wider than a first area than if an area is the first area.

Abstract: The present invention provides an imprint method of forming a pattern of an imprint material on a shot region of a substrate using a mold, the method comprising: supplying the imprint material onto the shot region so as to arrange droplets of the imprint material in arrangement patterns different from each other between a first partial region and a second partial region adjacent to each other in the shot region; performing alignment between the mold and the shot region after it is started to bring the mold and the imprint material into contact with each other; performing preliminary curing of irradiating the imprint material on the shot region with light to increase a viscoelasticity of the imprint material before the alignment is completed; and performing main curing of curing the imprint material on the shot region after the alignment is completed.

Abstract: An imprint apparatus performs imprint processing of supplying a second composition having a property of being cured onto a substrate to which a first composition not having a property of being cured in an uncured state is supplied, bringing a mold into contact with a mixed layer of the first composition and the second composition, which is formed by the supplying, curing the mixed layer, separating the mold from the cured mixed layer, and forming a pattern on the mixed layer. When unloading the substrate outside the apparatus before completion of the imprint processing for all shot regions of the substrate, the apparatus supplies the second composition to a portion on the substrate in which the first composition is in an uncured state and performs curing processing of curing the mixed layer formed in the portion before the unloading.

Abstract: An inkjet recording device allows a recording medium to be set easily, and prevents the recording medium from being warped so that printing quality is not lowered. An inkjet printer includes a bed including a surface that supports a recording medium, and a pivoting device that pivots the bed around a horizontal axis to locate the bed horizontally or vertically or pivots the bed around the horizontal axis to incline the bed with respect to a horizontal plane. The inkjet printer also includes a pair of guide rails provided on the bed and extending in an X direction and a movable member extending in a Y direction, engaged with the pair of guide rails and slidable on the pair of guide rails to move in the X direction.

Abstract: The stator includes a stator core, a plurality of phase windings, a neutral line and a fixing member. The plurality of phase windings are wounded a plurality of times by a predetermined winding method crossing between a plurality of slots. One lead end of each phase winding is supplied with a phase current. The other lead end of each phase winding is a neutral point connecting portion. The other lead end is pulled out from an axially end portion of the stator core. The neutral line connects the neutral point connecting portions of the phase windings of different phases together. The neutral line is separate from the phase windings. The fixing member fixes the neutral line to a yoke portion via an intermediate member. The intermediate member is made of resin.
