Substrate cleaning device and substrate cleaning method

A substrate cleaning device and a substrate cleaning method reduces liquid drops remaining on a substrate to prevent the irregular heating of the substrate by a heating process due to liquid drops or water marks remaining on the substrate. A cleaning liquid is poured through a cleaning liquid pouring nozzle onto the surface of a substrate such that a region onto which the cleaning liquid is poured moves from a central part toward the circumference of the substrate. A gas is jetted radially outward at a region on the surface of the substrate behind a region onto which the cleaning liquid is poured with respect to the rotating direction of the substrate. The gas forces a liquid film of the cleaning liquid flowing on the surface of the substrate to flow in a circumferential direction and a radially outward direction. The cleaning liquid poured out onto the surface of the substrate through the cleaning liquid pouring nozzle is restrained from flowing by a liquid damming member held at a height equal to or lower than that of the nozzle exit of the cleaning liquid pouring nozzle to collect a mass of the cleaning liquid. A high centrifugal force acts on the mass of the cleaning liquid to force the mass of the cleaning liquid to flow outward even if the substrate is rotated at a low rotating speed.

Apparatus, system and method to limit access to open networks by requiring the consensus of pre-existing nodes to admit candidate nodes

Systems and methods govern participation in and enforce a limit on the number of nodes that can participate in a cryptocurrency or other distributed computing network. Unlike other approaches, systems and methods herein do not require excessive use of resources. Admission of a node to a network is governed by the consensus of pre-existing nodes using a process or physical characteristic of the candidate node to determine its eligibility. One instantiation uses physical location as the unique physical characteristic, with a distance constraint to force geographic separation between nodes. Another uses signal response time over the network as a proxy for distance, relying on the fact that network nodes cannot respond to an interrogation before it is received. Combined with an appropriate time constraint, this enables network space to be used as an analog for geographic space, despite the fact that network transmission speeds and paths are variable.

Ms/ms mass spectrometer

During a halt period of time when the introduction of ions is temporarily discontinued to change an objective ion to be selected by a first mass separator in the previous stage, a pulsed voltage having a polarity opposite to that of the ions remaining in a collision cell (4) is applied to an entrance lens electrode (42) and exit lens electrode (44). The ions are pulled by the DC electric field created by this voltage, to be neutralized and removed by colliding with the lens electrodes (42, 44). Thus, the residual ions, which may cause a crosstalk, can be quickly removed from the inner space of the collision cell (4) without contaminating an ion guide (5) to which a radio-frequency is applied. Since no radio-frequency voltage is applied to the lens electrodes (42, 44), the circuit for applying the pulsed voltage can have a simple configuration. Thus, the cost increase is suppressed.

Concurrent disposal and consolidation of dredged sediment using horizontal drains and vacuum loading

For secure disposal of contaminated sediment, dredged sediment can be consolidated, concurrently as it is discharged to a disposal pond, using horizontal drains installed in the settled sediment and vacuum loading. Horizontal drains are connected to a vacuum pump via collector pipes and a header pipe. Vacuum pump operation consolidates the settled sediment and reduces the volume, enabling continued discharge of dredged sediment. Successive installation of horizontal drains within accumulating sediment and consolidation by vacuum pumping may continue until the disposal pond is filled with consolidated sediment. Vacuum pumping is continued for some period after final cover installation to enhance containment performance by overconsolidation. Also, the horizontal drain system may be used to deliver liquid reagents for sediment treatment or to circulate water for flushing.
