Plastic conveyor belts made up of modules interconnected by transverse rods and capable of straight or radius travel are adjusted as to minimum radius the belt can traverse by restricting collapsibility at the inner edge of the belt. This can be accomplished using shims in the slotted apertures of link ends, preventing full rod travel in those apertures, at each row or at alternating or selected rows of the belt; or shims otherwise placed in the belt to prevent full collapse; or by using different modules in certain rows, with less collapsibility; or by substituting different edge modules in belts of multiple modules per row. In this way, a basic radius conveyor belt can be defined, with a relatively tight minimum radius, and then can be modified so as to be custom-fitted to spiral conveyor or other belt systems having specific curve radii which are larger than the radius of the basic belt. By substantially matching the conveyor belt's minimum achievable radius to the actual radius in service on the conveyor belt system, better driving performance is achieved, eliminating belt edge chatter and vibration.

When a negative pressure is introduced into a closed space formed by a cap abutting to an ejecting head, the cap abuts to the ejecting head with a greater pressing force than that in a case where the negative pressure is not introduced into the closed space. Therefore, the cap can abut to the ejecting head with a weak pressing force during the time when the negative pressure is not introduced, it can be avoided that the cap abuts to the ejecting head with a significant pressing force over a long time, and collapse of the cap can be significantly suppressed.

Pure water, a mixed solution, and an organic solvent are applied to a substrate in this order. The organic solvent is then removed by rotation. The mixed solution is a mixture of pure water and the organic solvent, and has a surface tension lower than that of the pure water. Since the mixed solution has a solubility in pure water, which is higher than that of the organic solvent, local drying on the upper surface becomes less likely at an interface between the mixed solution and the pure water, which suppresses collapse of pattern elements. Since the temperature of the substrate is raised by the mixed solution having a temperature higher than room temperature, it is possible to reduce the time required for a process related to drying.
