    摘要: A cryopump includes an accommodation space for a condensed layer of gas, a first-stage cryopanel having an inner surface of the first-stage cryopanel disposed so as to surround the accommodation space, and a second-stage cryopanel disposed so as to be surrounded by the inner surface of the first-stage cryopanel together with the accommodation space. A first-stage heat load is incident on the inner surface of the first-stage cryopanel from outside the cryopump through an intake port, and the gas enters the accommodation space from outside the cryopump. The first-stage cryopanel is cooled to a temperature higher than a condensation temperature of the gas, the second-stage cryopanel is cooled to a temperature of the condensation temperature or less, and the condensed layer is deposited. The cryopump monitors the amount of condensed gas in the accommodation space based on a change in the first-stage heat load.

    摘要: A method of controlling monitoring of a vacuum system, the vacuum system, and the monitoring control system are disclosed. The method comprises: selecting at least one of a plurality of processes for monitoring the vacuum system from a data store storing the plurality of processes. Executing the at least one selected process Wherein one of the at least one selected processes comprises a process for monitoring a parameter of the vacuum system and for responding to changes in the parameter to trigger at least one of: execution of a further one of the plurality of processes; output of an alarm or notification signal; and output of a control signal for controlling operation of at least one component of the vacuum system.

    摘要: A vacuum system pipe coupling includes a first coupling member defining a through passage, a second coupling member defining a through passage and a securing unit. The first coupling member has a first end portion having a first lengthways extending axis, a second end portion having a second lengthways extending axis that is laterally offset with respect to the first lengthways extending axis and a first connecting portion connecting the first and second end portions. The second coupling member has a third end portion having a third lengthways extending axis, a fourth end portion having a fourth lengthways extending axis that is laterally offset with respect to the third lengthways extending axis and a second connecting portion connecting the third and fourth end portions. The securing unit is configured to secure the first end portion to the third end portion with the first and third lengthways extending axes in alignment.

    摘要: Provided herein is a mechanical resonant system, comprising a frame; at least one pump disposed on the frame; one or two masses coupled to the frame by a first plurality of resilient members; and at least one voice coil actuator disposed within the frame and coupled to the at least one pump or to the one or two masses; wherein when the system comprises two masses, a second plurality of resilient members couple the masses to each other. Also provided are methods for using these mechanical resonant systems to evacuate a chamber, to compress air, or sense changes in pressure.
