摘要:
A pod for storing and carrying substrates consists of a pod body and a cover. An inlet and an outlet are formed on one of the pod body and cover. The cover is tightly fitted to the pod body to close the inside of the pod body. A washing liquid is introduced into the pod through the inlet and is discharged from the pod through the outlet, thereby easily washing the inside of the pod with the pod itself serving as a washing tank. A washing cover has an inlet, an outlet, and a heater. The washing cover is attached to the pod body when washing the inside of the pod body. Further provided is a cleaning apparatus having pipes and a pump that are connected to the washing cover. The cleaning apparatus may have a table serving as the washing cover. The table is connected to pipes and a pump.

摘要:
Storage equipment simply and effectively maintains the cleanness of substrates stored therein. The substrates in the storage equipment are set in a pod. The storage equipment has removable covers, a unit for fitting the covers to pods, respectively, a unit for holding the pods with the covers, a gas supply unit for individually supplying gas into the pods through the covers, and an exhaust unit for individually discharging an atmosphere from the pods through the covers. Each pod is closed with the cover in the storage equipment, and the gas supply unit and exhaust unit periodically replace an atmosphere in each pod with inert gas or evacuate each pod, to control the storage conditions of each pod in the storage equipment.
摘要:
A container for storing substrates capable of shortening the cycle time of the production, improving the production efficiency and reducing the production cost is provided. The container for storing substrates is composed of a box for accommodating the substrates, and a closure member for sealingly closing the box by tightly fixing the closure member to the opening of the box. The container for storing substrates is provided with means for temporarily storing a sealing gas and introducing the sealing gas into the box. Also, the container for storing substrates is provided with means for means for temporarily forming a low pressure space for the purpose of evacuating the gas inside of the box by transferring the gas to the low pressure space.

摘要:
In ultrasonic imaging method/system, a deep interior portion of a biological body under medical examination can be scanned by blood-flow image scanning beams with a wide view field. The ultrasonic imaging system is arranged by a probe device having a probe plane for transmitting ultrasonic pulses to an interior portion of a biological body under medical examination, and for receiving ultrasonic echoes reflected from the interior portion of the biological body; a B-mode image scanning unit coupled to the probe means, for scanning the interior portion of the biological body by the ultrasonic pulses in a fan-shaped form as fan-shaped B-mode image scanning beams; a B-mode image producing unit for producing B-mode image data of the scanned interior portion from B-mode imaging echoes derived from the probe device, while scanning the interior portion by the fan-shaped B-mode image scanning beams; a blood-flow image scanning unit for scanning the interior portion by transmitting thereto the ultrasonic pulses as blood-flow image scanning beams from the probe plane at a predetermined inclined angle with respect to a normal line direction of the probe plane; a blood-flow image producing unit for producing blood-flow image data of the scanned interior portion from blood-flow imaging echoes derived from the probe means, while scanning the interior portion by the inclined blood-flow image scanning beams; and a dual-mode displaying unit for displaying both of a B-mode image of the scanned interior portion the a blood-flow image thereof in a dual mode by superimposing the blood-flow image data on the B-mode image data.
