Abstract: La présente invention a trait à la déshydratation de boues par la compression des boues à l'aide d'un piston perméable à un liquide à épuration autonome. La compression est également utilisée pour le transport des boues déshydratées. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le piston est équipé de filtres perméable au liquide sous la forme de filtres à intervalles tant sur la surface de pression que sur la surface latérale, qui sont parallèles à la direction de déplacement du piston. L'invention est essentiellement caractérisée en ce que le procédé de déshydratation de boues met en oeuvre des éléments à épuration autonome incorporés, qui assurent une fiabilité élevée et de faibles coûts d'entretien. Etant donné que le procédé de déshydratation est commandé par la pression de piston, l'efficacité du procédé de déshydratation peut être très élevée et entre autres être commandé par l'ouverture de la pression de la conduite de sortie de l'unité de déshydratation.

Abstract: A substrate (W) is processed with the use of a process liquid such as a deionized water. Then, a first fluid which is more volatile than the process liquid is supplied to an upper surface of the substrate (W) from a fluid nozzle (12) to form a liquid film. Next, a second fluid which is more volatile than the process liquid is supplied to the upper surface of the substrate (W) from the fluid nozzle (12), while the wafer (W) is being rotated. During this supply operation, a supply position (Sf) of the second fluid to the substrate (W) is moved radially outward from a rotational center (Po) of the substrate (W). As a result, it is possible to prevent the generation of particles on the substrate (W) after it is dried by using the first and second fluids.

Abstract: When recording stream data, index information and time correction information are recorded in correspondence with the stream data. The index information specifies a position of an invalid section in the stream data. The time correction information specifies a time which, supposing that a PCR included in the invalid section was able to be got, a time clock would have shown in synchronization with the PCR. When reproducing the stream data recorded together with the time correction information and the index information, at a position where the invalid section ends, the time clock can be set to a time intended by a broadcasting system, by referencing the index information and the time correction information.
