Patent number: 9915361Abstract: A cavitation reactor having a pulse valve for receiving an input fluid flow and generating a pulsed output flow that is provided to the input of a resonance chamber, such as a tube. The pulse valve uses a shaft with a number of regularly spaced lands to form fluid conduits between an input port and the output port connected to the resonance tube to cause fluid communication between the input and output ports to be regularly opened and closed, thereby producing a pulsed output that drives the formation of resonance waves in the resonance chamber. The shaft is rotated at a suitable frequency to produce cavitation bubbles that collapse in the resonance chamber without damaging the valve shaft.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: MITTO VALVE TECHNOLOGY INC.Inventor: Michael Jon Mitton

Patent number: 7367710Abstract: According to the present invention, an anti-reflective film formed under a resist film is removed in a photolithography process of a wafer without affecting the resist film. According to the present invention, in a photolithography process of a substrate, an anti-reflective film having solubility in the developing solution is formed and thereafter a resist film is formed. In development treatment after exposure processing, a developing solution is supplied to the substrate to develop the resist film. At an instant when the development of the resist film is finished, a second developing solution lower in concentration than the developing solution is supplied to the substrate. Only the anti-reflective film is dissolved and removed by the supply of the second developing solution. The developing solution is supplied to the substrate by a supply nozzle having a stirrer.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2004Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignee: Tokyo Electron LimitedInventors: Momoko Shizukuishi, Hidetami Yaegashi
