A polishing method of polishing a substrate while preventing coarse particles from being discharged onto a polishing pad is disclosed. In this polishing method, a substrate is brought into sliding contact with a polishing pad while a polishing liquid, which has passed through a filter, is supplied onto the polishing pad. The polishing method includes: passing the polishing liquid through the filter while increasing a physical quantity of the polishing liquid until the physical quantity reaches a predetermined set value, the physical quantity being one of flow rate and pressure of the polishing liquid; and polishing the substrate W on the polishing pad while supplying the polishing liquid that has passed through the filter onto the polishing pad.

Polishing method and polishing apparatus

A water discharge system for a substrate processing apparatus comprising a substrate processor that processes a substrate using liquid, includes: at least two water discharge lines capable of discharging the liquid used in the substrate processor; a switching device configured to switch a water discharge line to which the liquid used in the substrate processor is to be discharged among the at least two water discharge lines; a measurement device configured to generate water discharge information by measuring the liquid used in the substrate processor; and a control mechanism configured to control the switching device in accordance with the water discharge information.

A method for polishing a substrate having a metal film thereon is described. The substrate has metal interconnects formed from part of the metal film. The polishing method includes performing a first polishing process of removing the metal film, after the first polishing process, performing a second polishing process of removing the barrier film, after the second polishing process, performing a third polishing process of polishing the insulating film. During the second polishing process and the third polishing process, a polishing state of the substrate is monitored with an eddy current sensor, and the third polishing process is terminated when an output signal of the eddy current sensor reaches a predetermined threshold.

In an ATM virtual path switching node, upon being notified of a current virtual path by a virtual path monitoring unit, a link fault determination unit compares the number of faulty current virtual paths with a predetermined threshold value. When the number of faulty current virtual paths is equal to or larger than the threshold value, a link fault is determined, and a message communication unit transmits/receives a link fault notification signal to/from another ATM virtual path switching node. When the number of faulty current virtual paths is smaller than the threshold value, a current virtual path fault is determined, and the message communication unit transmits/receives a virtual path fault notification signal to/from another ATM virtual path switching node. The message communication unit transmits a switching control signal for designating switching from the current virtual path to a stand-by virtual path. A current virtual path information management unit manages correspondence between the current virtual path having, as one switching terminal, a self ATM virtual path switching node and a plurality of links in an ATM network.

An apparatus of for measuring roughness of a road surface such as convex, concave or inclination is to be mounted on the vehicle. The apparatus comprises a rotation driving member for generating rotation motion in vertical plane and for outputting a signal concerning its rotation angle. An inclinometer is provided to detect an inclined angle of the rotation driving member. A distance measuring member for measuring distance from road surface as being rotated by the rotation motion from said rotation driving member. A processing unit calculates a vertical distance and a horizontal distance between the apparatus and the road surface by means of the inclined angle detected by the inclinometer and the rotation angle detected by the rotation driving member.

Apparatus for measuring a shape of road surface

A concrete-floor finisher includes a plurality of rotary shafts (28) supported on a supporting plate (2) of a machine proper (1) so as to be tiltable in x and y directions and rotatable opposite to each other, and a plurality of blades (12a to 12d) radially arranged relative to a rotor (10) at the lower part of each of the rotary shafts and respectively held in place by a plurality of fitting members (13), and a rocking supporting unit (14) for the fitting member of each blade is composed of a fixed plate (15) attached to the upper surface of the blade, a holding member (16) attached to the vertical plate portion of the fixed plate, a bearing (18) pivotally supporting substantially the central portion of the holding member (16) by a supporting pin (17) extended in the tangential direction of the circle of rotation, and means for fitting a square cylindrical portion (19) of the bearing onto the forward end of the fitting member and removably fixing in place with a bolt (21) or the like, thus ensuring 20.degree. freedom of vertical rocking movement for each of the blades and thereby bringing the blades into parallel contact with the concrete.
