A clothing dryer capable of removing impurities, such as dust, accumulated in a hot air outlet duct thereof. The clothing dryer includes a drying tub to dry laundry contained therein using hot air supplied thereto, a hot air outlet duct to discharge the hot air, coming from the drying tub, to the outside, and a connecting unit to connect an external suction device to the hot air outlet duct. Accordingly, impurities, such as dust, accumulated in the hot air outlet duct can be removed by a suction force of the suction device, thereby enabling the cleaning of the hot air outlet duct.

A method for removing foreign matters attaching on a surface of a fine pattern of a mold, having the fine pattern being convexo-concave, at least on one surface thereof, thereby cleaning the fine pattern surface of the mold, and an imprinting device applying that method therein, without removing, comprises the following steps of: applying a photo-curable resin on a surface of a body to be transcribed, onto which the mold is suppressed, and thereby forming a photo-curable resin layer; suppressing the mold on the photo-curable resin, which is applied on the surface of the body to be transcribed; separating the photo-curable resin cured from the mold, after curing the photo-curable resin, and whereby taking the foreign matters attaching on the surface of the fine pattern into the photo-curable resin cured to remove them, wherein the photo-curable resin to be formed on the surface of the body to be transcribed is formed with such thickness that it can remove the foreign matters attaching on the fine pattern, and also the mold is suppressed onto the photo-curable resin, which is formed on the surface of the body to be transcribed, under such pressure that it can remove the foreign matters attaching on the fine pattern.

A substrate preparation method is provided. The method includes providing a substrate to be prepared. The substrate has a first layer and a second layer. The first layer is to be removed from over the second layer. An energy frequency that is to be absorbed by the second layer while penetrating through the first layer transparently is determined. Energy that has the determined energy frequency is applied onto the first layer so as to disrupt a bond between the first layer and the second layer at a location of application of the energy. A portion of the first layer defined at the location of application of energy is removed. A substrate preparation apparatus is also provided.

A liquid product is dispensed via a membrane contactor. The contactor employs a plurality of gas-permeable hollow fibers. The contactor has a gas port communicating with the interior of the fibers and input and output ports for liquid communicating with space within the contactor surrounding the fibers. A gas comprising carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide is dissolved in the liquid in the contactor. The gas at a controlled pressure is supplied to the gas port. The liquid is supplied at a higher pressure than the gas to the input port for liquid from a supply of such liquid via a first valve having a first valve inlet port communicating with the supply of liquid and a first valve outlet port communicating with the inlet port for liquid. Liquid with the gas dissolved therein is dispensed from the outlet port for liquid via a dispense tap to ambient. The dispensing liquid step includes a start dispense step in which dispensing commences and a stop dispense step in which dispensing is stopped. The first valve is opened with the dispensing tap in the start dispense step, and is closed in the stop dispense step. Pressure build-up is relieved in liquid in communication with the space within the contactor surrounding the fibers after closure of the first valve and while maintaining the first valve closed. The balance between gas pressure and liquid pressure during the systems' standby periods protects the membranes from flooding.

The present invention provides a method, an apparatus and chemical products for treating petroleum equipment wherein a fluid is flowing, preferably of the hydrocarbon type, and wherein treating is performed by establishing a closed or semi-closed flow circulation loop, during the normal production operations of the equipment. The treatment can refer to the cleaning of equipment, to yield improvement as compared to normal run conditions and / or to a reduction of coke formation and / or to coke removal on catalysts.
