Abstract

Disclosed is a system for stabilizing a flow of gas introduced into a sensor, wherein, in connection with manufacturing equipment comprising a process chamber, a process chamber vacuum pump installed to remove internal gas of the process chamber, and a sensor device configured to be able to receive the internal gas of the process chamber through a sensor connecting pipe and to detect components thereof, the system comprises a sensor connecting pipe and a bypass pipe branching off from the sensor connecting pipe such that a part of the gas can be directly discharged to the outside without being introduced into the sensor, and the system is accordingly configured to stably provide the sensor device with a part of the internal gas within a predetermined range per time, regardless of a change in the pressure state of the process chamber. According to the present invention, in connection with a sensor device connected to a process chamber to which a vacuum is applied in the case of semiconductor device manufacturing equipment or the like, a gas flow stabilization system may be used to prevent degradation of the reliability of analysis value data caused by a large change in the analysis value of the sensor device when the internal pressure of an MS abruptly changes due to a pressure fluctuation of the process chamber, the durability/lifespan of the MS sensor device is increased, and the need to repair/maintain same is reduced, thereby lessening the management burden.

Abstract

Provided is a monitor (10) for monitoring the condition of the interior of a living organism from the surface of the living organism. The monitor (10) is provided with: a probe (23) which includes an observation window (21) and is attached to the organism surface (2); a unit (25) which irradiates, with a laser, at least a portion of an observation region (3) on the organism surface (2) accessed via the observation window (21); a unit (27) which detects scattered light (28) resulting from the laser irradiation from each of a plurality of observation spots distributed two-dimensionally throughout the observation region (3); a Doppler analysis unit (51) and a SORS analysis unit (52) which, on the basis of the scattered light (28) obtained from the plurality of observation spots, narrow down the plurality of observation spots to a first observation spot for which it is determined that scattered light including information on a target section of the organism interior can be obtained; and a CARS analysis unit (53) which obtains the optical spectrum for at least one component from the first observation spot or observation spots surrounding the same, and outputs first information indicating the condition of the organism interior on the basis of the intensity of the spectrum.

IPC Classes  ?

  • A61B 5/00 - Measuring for diagnostic purposes Identification of persons
  • A61B 5/1455 - Measuring characteristics of blood in vivo, e.g. gas concentration or pH-value using optical sensors, e.g. spectral photometrical oximeters
  • G01N 21/65 - Raman scattering

Abstract

This data processing device has a plurality of elements, and a data processing unit containing a wiring group connecting the plurality of elements. Each of the plurality of elements comprises: a logic element; an acquisition unit that switches the input side of the logic element on and off in cycles with respect to any of the wires of the wiring group, and latches input data; and a post unit that switches the output side of the logic element on and off in cycles with respect to any of the wires of the wiring group. In addition, the data processing unit has a timing control unit that controls, in cycles, the logic executed in the logic element, and the functions of the acquisition unit and the post unit.
