A supporting portion is made of silicon carbide. At least one layer has first and second surfaces. The first surface is supported by the supporting portion. The at least one layer has first and second regions. The first region is made of silicon carbide of a single-crystal structure. The second region is made of graphite. The second surface has a surface formed by the first region. The first surface has a surface formed by the first region, and a surface formed by the second region. In this way, a semiconductor substrate can be provided which has a region made of silicon carbide having a single-crystal structure and a supporting portion made of silicon carbide and allows for reduced electric resistance of an interface therebetween.

A color processing apparatus converts a target M-dimensional color signal in an input color space into an N-dimensional output color signal in an output color space. M and N are natural numbers and N>M. The apparatus includes a first calculation unit and a second calculation unit. The first calculation unit uniquely calculates (N−M) colorants of the converted output color signal from the target color signal with using plural color-signal pairs. In each pair, corresponding one of the (N−M) colorants of an output color signal in the output color space are associated with an input color signal in the input color space. The second calculation unit calculates the M colorants of the converted output color signal from the target color signal and the (N−M) colorants of the converted output color signal.

Provided is a wire rod for an I-type oil ring, which includes right and left rail portions and a web portion connecting the rail portions, which has an oil hole or a molten through hole formed in the web portion, and which has a circumscribing circle diameter of 10 mm or less in its transverse contour. The molten through hole has such a remolten portion formed on its exit side as encloses the exit of the molten through hole. The remolten portion exceeds such a molten portion in the transverse section along the center of the molten through hole as is formed in the molten through hole, and is formed to have 200 μm or less from the outer circumference of the molten through hole and 100 μm or less in the depth direction of the molten through hole.
摘要:
When the size output for an image is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value (e.g., index printing), a printing apparatus performs an image expansion/reduction process by using an interpolation method whereby high speed processing is enabled while an inferior image quality is provided, or when the output size is greater than a predetermined value (e.g., the normal printing of a single sheet), employs an interpolation method for a high quality image to perform the expansion/reduction. Further, when the output image size is equal to or smaller than the predetermined value, the printing apparatus 1 skips the noise reduction process and the sharpening process to increase the processing speed.
