In this vacuum processing apparatus, four process modules and four load-rock modules are arranged in clusters around a two-stage conveyance vacuum chamber. In the apparatus, the entirety of the second stage of the vacuum conveyance chamber is a third vacuum conveyance area and the third vacuum conveyance area extends from the second stage to the first stage through an aperture to enter between first and second vacuum conveyance areas. A third vacuum conveyance robot has: left and right-side conveyance units, which can move straight in the depth direction in the second stage of the third vacuum conveyance area; and left and right-side conveyance units, which can move straight in the vertical direction, i.e. can move up and down, in the aperture of the vacuum conveyance area.

When an operation mode (a latest cooperation mode) immediately before removal of a portable navigation device and an operation mode (a latest independence mode) immediately before re-mounting of the portable navigation device are the same, an MPU performs processing using processing data in the latest independence mode and takes over a route-guidance operation or a content-playback operation that was independently performed by the portable navigation device. On the other hand, when the latest cooperation mode and the latest independence mode are different from each other, the MPU performs processing using processing data in the latest cooperation mode and takes over a route-guidance operation or a content-playback operation that was performed by an in-vehicle apparatus and the portable navigation device in cooperation with each other.

A container changing system able to prevent deterioration in the working rate of substrate processing apparatuses and deterioration in the amount of production of semiconductor devices. A second mounting portion is arranged between a carrier of a container conveying unit and a first mounting portion of a substrate processing apparatus with respect to a lifting direction of a container. The second mounting portion is configured to freely advance and withdraw to/from a lifting path of the container. A container lifting unit is arranged between the carrier and the second mounting portion with respect to the lifting direction. In the container lifting unit, a base portion is configured to freely advance and withdraw to/from the lifting path, a second holder is provided below the base portion and can hold the container, and a second lifter is arranged between the base portion and the second holder and configured to lift up/down the second holder between the base portion and the first mounting portion when the second holder is located opposed to the first mounting portion.

A communication system performs bidirectional communication through a same communication path every communication cycle period between a master station and a slave station. From the start of the communication cycle period until an interval period shorter than the communication cycle period elapses, the master station transmits master data represented at a first ratio of first pulse width to the communication cycle period to the slave station. In a remaining period after the interval period in the communication cycle period, the slave station transmits slave data represented at a second ratio of second pulse width to the interval period to the master station.

A video player and a video-playback control method which are capable of easily performing a selection operation on a display object in a moving image are disclosed. The video player predicts the occurrence of the selection operation of the display object, which is an area for which an action is defined in the moving image, by the start of a move operation of the cursor 51 or the proximity of a hand to a touch panel, and changes the playback state of the title to pause or slow playback. Description information defined for the display object may be automatically displayed. Also, the areas of the display objects may be visualized by displaying figures.

Provided is an electric actuator capable of preventing the release of particles from the body thereof. The electric actuator includes a body made of an elongated enclosure; a slider configured to move in a reciprocating manner along a lengthwise direction of the body; an opening formed in a side surface of the body to correspond to a moving path of the slider; a dust seal band provided to cover the opening; and a pair of electrodes protruding from the body at opposite sides of the opening toward the outside of the body and extending in the lengthwise direction of the body with the opening being interposed between the pair of electrodes. Positive potential is generated in the upper electrode of the pair of electrodes and negative potential is generated in the lower electrode of the pair of electrodes.

A check valve is installed in a line having a fluid path for preventing generation of a back flow in the fluid path. The check valve includes a cylindrical member in which a part of the fluid path is formed; a valve body installed in the cylindrical member and rotatable between a blocking position for blocking the fluid path and an opening position for opening the fluid path; a rotary shaft which is installed horizontally to divide the valve body into a large area and a small area and allows the valve body to rotate thereabout; and a locking member for locking the valve body in the blocking position. The small area has a larger mass than that of the large area.

A substrate positional misalignment detection system capable of detecting positional misalignment of a substrate without moving a detector in the case of using a bottom opening pod having a main body, a lid and a cassette holding wafers. A recursive reflection type sensor adapted to emit and receive light in an upward/downward direction is provided in a supporting unit adapted to support the lid and move up and down the lid together with the cassette. A recursive reflection plate adapted to reflect the emitted light is provided on the ceiling portion of the main body. A light transmitting window is provided in the lid. The recursive reflection type sensor, the light transmitting window, and the recursive reflection plate are aligned linearly in the upward/downward direction. The light emitted by the recursive reflection type sensor is not blocked by the substrate held in a predetermined storage position by the cassette.

One sensor constituted of a light emission element and a light-receiving element is provided in a path through which a wafer is transferred. The sensor is positioned so that the wafer passes through an area between the light emission element and the light-receiving element. Coordinates of the center of the wafer are calculated based on encoder values obtained when the wafer starts passing through the sensor and when the wafer completes passing through the sensor, position data of wafer transfer means corresponding to the encoder value, and the diameter of the wafer; and thereby the amount of positional deviation of the center of the wafer from a reference position is calculated.

Object A substrate processing apparatus is provided, which comprises a processing vessel adapted to provide a process to a substrate, an ambient atmospheric carrying chamber, and a functional module located on a carrying route of the substrate to be carried by a carrying means in the ambient atmospheric carrying chamber, wherein bad effect on the functional module due to particles and/or corrosive gases to be generated due to contact of the ambient air with the substrate after having been processed can be avoided. solution The substrate processing apparatus, adapted to provide a process, such as etching, to a wafer, comprises the processing vessel, the ambient atmospheric carrying chamber, and the functional module, such as an orienter 4. With the process to be provided, matters having potential to generate corrosive gases or the like due to contact with the ambient air are attached to the wafer. In the ambient atmospheric carrying chamber, a first air stream creating means 15a, 15b, 15c is provided. In the functional module, a second air stream creating means (FFU 60) is installed to create a stream of cleaned air directed toward the ambient atmospheric carrying chamber 14 from the functional module 4, by taking in the ambient air from a clean room.
