摘要:
A refrigerant compressor for use with an air conditioner for vehicles, which comprises a housing in which a vane pump is accommodated, and a covering disposed so as to enclose said housing in a fashion that its inner wall cooperates with the outer wall of said housing to define a refrigerant delivery chamber, characterized by that a temperature sensor is embedded in a portion of the outer wall of said housing. The sensor may be composed of a semiconductor thermo-sensitive device or a conductor wire made of a metal including a high resistance metal. Thus, accurate and stable detection of the internal temperature of the compressor is feasible, thereby making it possible to avoid seizure of the sliding machine parts of the compressor.

A substrate processing apparatus includes a development part for performing a development process on a substrate after being subjected to exposure and a cleaning part. When the processing time in the development part is shorter than the reference time determined in advance, the development part performs all the process steps for development. On the other hand, when the processing time in the development part is longer than the reference time, the development process is split into a first half process step and a second half process step, and the development part performs a processing including the first half process step and the cleaning part performs a processing including the second half process step. Even if the development process takes a long time, it is possible to prevent deterioration in processing capability of the substrate processing apparatus on the whole by splitting the development process.

A substrate holding apparatus holds a rotating substrate without idly rotating the substrate and keeps the substrate in proper balance while the substrate is rotated. In a revolvable holding member, a column-shaped holding part is disposed on a top surface of a column-shaped supporting part, at an eccentric position with respect to a rotation axis of the supporting part. The revolvable holding member is supported by a rotation base for free rotation, and linked to a magnet holding part which incorporates a permanent magnet. On the other hand, a ring-shaped magnet which is disposed in a processing liquid collecting cup is freely driven by an air cylinder in a vertical direction. As the ring-shaped magnet is moved upward or downward and crosses a predetermined line as viewed in a positional relationship relative to the permanent magnet, which is at a height where the permanent magnet is disposed, the direction of a magnetic line of flux of the ring-shaped magnet is reversed. As a result, the direction of the revolving force which acts upon the permanent magnet is reversed, whereby the revolvable holding member holds or releases a substrate.

A substrate holding apparatus includes a rotary table rotatable about a vertical center axis for supporting a substrate in a horizontal plane, and substrate travel regulating pins fixed to the rotary table and arranged at positions in contact with the outer edge of the substrate so that the center of gravity of the substrate supported on the rotary table is spaced from the center axis for regulating the travel of the substrate in a horizontal direction. Centrifugal force generated with respect to the substrate when the rotary table rotates about the center axis, urges the periphery of the substrate towards the travel regulating pins so that the resulting frictional force prevents rotary slippage between the substrate and the rotary table as rotation of the latter relates to the latter. The structure of this apparatus is simple because the substrate holding portion does not include a movable portion. It is easy to mount a substrate onto this apparatus because it is not necessary to align the orientation flat and the like at a predetermined position.

A methacrylimide group-containing polymer having good optical characteristics, especially a resistance to coloration under heating and above to retain good light-transmitting characteristics for a long time even at a high temperature, is prepared by polymerizing methacrylic acid, a methacrylic acid ester, or a monomer mixture predominantly comprised of methacrylic acid or an ester thereof in the absence of a mercaptan chain transfer agent, and then imidizing the thus-prepared polymer. The resulting polymer is useful as the core component of a light-transmitting fiber having a core-sheath structure.

A plurality of movable dampers (23), (26), (31) are provided in an air flow duct (12) to control the temperature and air flow therethrough. A heater core (19) and/or air conditioner evaporator (18) are disposed in the duct (12). The dampers (23), (26), (31) are positioned by vacuum actuators (28), (29), (33) in accordance with applied vacuum. Sensors (47), (48), (49) sense the temperature in the duct (12), an automobile passenger compartment into which the duct (12) leads and the like. A control means unit (44) modulates vacuum from a source (34) in accordance with sensed temperature so as to maintain the temperature at a desired value. In case of failure of the automatic control unit (44), a manual valve unit (51), (53), (56) may be operated to connect the actuators (28), (29), (31) either to the vacuum source (34) or to the atmosphere so as to position the dampers (23), (26), (31) minimum or maximum temperature operation respectively.
摘要:
A vane compressor includes a hollow stator, and a rotor which is received in the stator for rotation about an axis. The rotor is provided with a plurality of throughgoing passages which extend radially and outwardly relative to the axis. Each passage receives a vane which has an outer end face directed towards an inner circumference of the stator and an inner end face directed away from the inner circumference of the stator. The vanes are shiftable radially in the respective passages relative to the axis. A pressure medium is supplied under a first pressure to the inner end faces of the vanes to urge the same radially outwardly for engagement of the outer end faces with the inner circumference of the stator. When the rotor is rotated, the vanes are subjected to an additional second pressure resulting from centrifugal force. The second pressure additionally urges the vanes against the inner circumference of the stator. The first and second pressures together constitute a cumulative force which above a predetermined level causes undesired frictional losses at the interfaces between the outer end faces of the vanes and the inner circumference of the stator. An arrangement is provided to decrease the cumulative pressure to the predetermined level to thereby eliminate the undesired frictional losses.
摘要:
A developing tank wherein means is provided to divide the surface of the developer charged into the tank into two separate portions, into one of which the film enters as it enters the developer, and out of the other of which the film leaves as it leaves the developer. Thus the contaminants and exhausted developer accumulating at the point where the film leaves the developer are prevented from directly moving along the surface of the developer to the point where the film enters the developer, and thereby streaking and uneven development are substantially reduced. The dividing means may be combined with a film entry guide plate.
