Abstract: A magnet 5 is disposed radially outward to a fitting portion
8. Thereby, an armature 3 to be disposed so as to face the magnet
5 may be arranged radially outward. It is possible to keep a large
space for the arrangement of a fluid bearing to be disposed radially
inward to the armature, and, as a result, the fluid bearing having
a large size may be used. The large sized fluid bearing 40 is used
for keeping a high mechanical strength, avoiding a fear that the
fluid bearing 40 would be damaged when it receives a shock, and
also avoiding the reduction in rotational speed of the magnetic
disk 7, the degradation of accuracy in the writing and reading
operation of magnetic data and the generation of a noise or a vibration.
The fluid bearing 40 is used to reduce a friction even if the motor
is rotated at a high speed, which may reduce the power consumption.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for improving the process of
purging a liquid delivery system (10) used in integrated circuit manufacturing. The liquid
delivery system comprises ultrasonic transducers (50) mounted to various components of a
liquid delivery system. The transducers may be mounted on housings (14), isolation
valves (22), fuel injectors, pump assemblies (16), fluid lines, and/or liquid flow meters.
The ultrasonic transducers launch ultrasonic energy that enhance the removal of
processing liquids and particulate material from components of the system. The present
invention provides for a purge process where a purge fluid, preferably a liquid solvent, is
flowed into the liquid delivery system and ultrasonic energy is launched into the purge
fluid to enhance dissolution of residual processing liquids and particulate matter in the
liquid delivery system, including from cracks and crevices in valves and other complex
mechanical devices before being pumped from the liquid delivery system.
