20080296352BONDING METHOD FOR CYLINDRICAL TARGET - The present invention generally comprises a method and apparatus for bonding a cylindrical sputtering target to a backing tube. The cylindrical sputtering target may be disposed over the outside surface of the backing tube and melted bonding material may be vacuum pulled through the gap formed between the sputtering target and the backing tube. By vacuum pulling the melted bonding material through the gap, the amount of air bubbles or pockets present within the bonding material between the sputtering target and the backing tube may be reduced.12-04-2008
20100107672DUAL SUBSTRATE LOADLOCK PROCESS EQUIPMENT - One embodiment relates to a loadlock having a first support structure therein to support one unprocessed substrate and a second support structure therein to support one processed substrate. The first support structure is located above the second support structure. The loadlock includes an elevator to control the vertical position of the support structures. The loadlock also includes a first aperture to permit insertion of an unprocessed substrate into the loadlock and removal of a processed substrate from the loadlock, as well as a second aperture to permit removal of an unprocessed substrate from the loadlock and insertion of a processed substrate into the loadlock. A cooling plate is also located in the loadlock. The cooling plate includes a surface adapted to support a processed substrate thereon. A heating device may be located in the loadlock above the first support structure.05-06-2010

20080237188SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD - Mutually different plural kinds of processing liquid are sequentially supplied to a gap space in which a substrate is arranged to perform a wet processing to the substrate with respect to each processing liquid. Further, the processing liquid used in the wet processing is sequentially released from the communicating portion upon execution of each wet processing. The liquid retrieval tanks are selectively positioned at a retrieval position corresponding to the kind of processing liquid released from the communicating portion by relatively moving the processing unit and the liquid retrieval unit. The liquid retrieval unit is separated from the processing unit and is arranged below the processing unit. The processing liquid is released from the communicating portion of the processing unit to below the gap space downwards vertically.10-02-2008
20090239384SUBSTRATE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING METHOD - A discharge hole of a lower nozzle is directed at an angle of 5 degrees to 40 degrees slanting inward with respect to a normal to the upper surface of a bottom plate. Thus, the flow pressure of a processing solution discharged through the discharge hole is not excessively reduced. Further, a circulation area of the processing solution does not expand widely in an inner bath. As a result, the processing solution in the inner bath is effectively displaced while the processing solution smoothly flows into gaps between substrates.09-24-2009

20090051216WHEEL BRAKE/DRIVE FORCE CONTROL DEVICE - An object of the present invention is to achieve a braking-driving force and a yaw moment required for a vehicle to a possible extent within a range of braking-driving forces which the front and rear wheels can generate, when a target braking-driving force and a target yaw moment of the vehicle cannot be achieved by means of braking-driving forces that can be generated by the individual wheels. A target braking-driving force Fvn and a target yaw moment Mvn of the entire vehicle are calculated, and when the target braking-driving force Fvn and the target yaw moment Mvn cannot be achieved by means of the braking-driving forces of the front wheels, a target braking-driving force Fvft and a target yaw moment Mvft of the front wheels are adjusted such that the magnitudes of the braking-driving force and yaw moment of the vehicle produced by means of the braking-driving forces of the front wheels become the maximum at a ratio between Fvn and Mvn. A target braking-driving force Fvrt and a target yaw moment Mvrt of the rear wheels are calculated on the basis of Fvn, Mvn, Fvft, and Mvft, and similar adjustment is performed for them when necessarily.02-26-2009
20090069149BRAKE FORCE CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD - A braking force control device includes: a brake control device that controls a mechanical brake braking torque by operating electric actuators so as to achieve a requested brake braking torque; a motor control device that controls a motor torque by operating motors so as to achieve the requested motor torque; a requested braking torque calculation device that calculates the requested braking torques of wheels; a battery requested electric power calculation device that finds a battery requested electric power based on target amounts of electricity charged in batteries; and an individual braking torque calculation device that finds the requested motor torque and the requested brake braking torque that cause the requested braking torque to be generated based on the battery requested electric power and the requested braking torque.03-12-2009
20090108671VEHICLE DRIVE APPARATUS - A vehicle drive apparatus independently controls drive forces for a front-right drive wheel, a front-left drive wheel, a rear-right drive wheel, and a rear-left drive wheel using a front-right electric motor, a front-left electric motor, a rear-right electric motor, and a rear-left electric motor, respectively. The drive forces for the drive wheels of a vehicle incorporating the vehicle drive apparatus are determined based on the target moments in the yaw and roll directions of the vehicle, the total drive for the drive wheels, and the drive reaction forces at the drive wheels. Thus, the performance desired by the driver can be achieved, and the drivability therefore improves accordingly.04-30-2009
