A technique includes: a first mounter on which a first container capable of accommodating a substrate is mounted; a second mounter on which a second container capable of accommodating the substrate is mounted; a first supply system configured to supply a substance X to the second container; a transfer apparatus configured to be capable of transferring the substrate between the first container and the second container; a process container configured to process the substrate; and a controller configured to be capable of controlling the first supply system and the transfer apparatus so as to perform: (a) transferring the substrate from the first container to the second container; (b) supplying the substance X to the substrate accommodated in the second container; and (c) after (b), transferring the substrate on which the substance X is adsorbed from the second container to the process container.

This application relates to an electrical connector. An electrical connector according to this application comprises: an outer housing; and a composite terminal assembly mounted within the outer housing, wherein the composite terminal assembly comprises a contact terminal, and further comprises a flexible adapter, wherein the flexible adapter comprises an adapting portion for connecting with the contact terminal, and a wiring portion for connecting with a conductive busbar. The electrical connector may be a high-voltage connector of a DC charging harness for electric vehicle.

A technique includes: (a) supplying a process gas, obtained by subjecting an object in liquid-phase or in solid-phase to a phase change, to a substrate in a process chamber along a path passing through a first section; and (b) after (a), performing: (b1) storing a purge gas in a second section; and (b2) exhausting the first section along a path that does not pass through the process chamber, while supplying the purge gas stored in the second section to the first section.

Described herein is a computer-implemented method for map matching geographic location points to a road network. The road network comprises road segments. The method comprises the step of providing a first set of match candidates each associated with a first geographic location point and one of the road segments. The method further comprises the step of providing a second geographic location point associated with geographic location point properties. The method further comprises the step of determining a second set of match candidates based at least in part on the first set of match candidates and the geographic location point properties associated with the second geographic location point. The second set of match candidates is associated with transitions from the first set of match candidates. The method further comprises the step of determining a matched location point based at least in part on the second set of match candidates. Further described herein are a system for map matching geographic location points to a road network, and a computer program.

A connector includes a housing including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion defines a first cavity that is configured to receive (i) a first terminal module in a first configuration and (ii) a second terminal module in a second configuration. The second portion defines a first aperture in communication with the first cavity. The first aperture is configured to receive a secondary lock to secure (i) the first terminal module in the first cavity in the first configuration and (ii) the second terminal module in the first cavity in the second configuration.

A method for producing a lipstick mine is described. The method comprises printing a lipstick master based on a 3D-printing technique, wherein the lipstick master has at least partially an outer shape corresponding to the to be formed lipstick mine; casting a flexible mold having at least partially an inner shape that is a negative of the to be formed lipstick mine, wherein casting the flexible mold comprises: introducing the lipstick master at least partially into a hollow cavity, pouring elastic material into the hollow cavity, letting the elastic material solidify to form the flexible mold, and removing the lipstick master from the cavity; and forming the lipstick mine in the flexible mold, wherein the forming of the lipstick mine comprises: pouring at least one pasty mass into the flexible mold, letting the pasty mass solidify to form the lipstick mine, and removing the lipstick mine from the flexible mold. Further, a lipstick obtained by a corresponding method, a system for producing a corresponding lipstick, a method for generating a lipstick master for forming a flexible mold to form a lipstick mine, and a lipstick master obtained by a corresponding method are described.
