PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To position a substrate to be processed efficiently by saving space. ŽSOLUTION: After having transferred a substrate G to a lift pin 132, each rotation driving portion 152 rotates each eccentric movable alignment pin 150 to nearly half rotating location from an original location through a rotation driving shaft 154. Then, the alignment pin 150 transfers toward each side of the substrate G in face to face with the pin while performing eccentric rotating movement, and a collar (contacting portion) 150b contacts with a substrate edge (substrate side). Furthermore, the pin pushes the substrate G from there. This makes the substrate G in displacement or transfer toward a pushed direction on the lift pin 132, and the opposite long side of the substrate G is pushed to a fixing alignment pin. As a result, the substrate G is caught in between the eccentric movable alignment pin 150 and the fixing alignment pin, then its positioning is finished. Ž

The system provides secure controlled access to multiple Bluetooth devices issued to users. For example an officer may be issued a weapon. To enable monitoring of weapon status, a Bluetooth sensor may be fitted to a holster and the Officer issued with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. In order to establish a secure Bluetooth connection between the devices, sensor contains a restored link key and the mobile phone stores a partial link key.
