Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal display panel, an illumination unit including a light-conducting plate having a protrusion protruded from a side surface of the light-conducting plate, and a housing having a bottom plate and a casing provided onto a bottom plate peripheral area for holding the light-conducting plate. A depression portion is formed to the casing of the housing. An inside of the bottom plate peripheral area is processed from roots of the end surfaces along the end surfaces so that a first slit which continues to the end surfaces is formed. The casing in a position separated from the end surfaces with a predetermined interval and an inside of the bottom plate peripheral area in this position are processed so that a second slit is formed. A portion of the housing composed of a part of the casing sandwiched between the first slit and the second slit and the bottom plate is supported to the housing in a manner of a fixed beam with respect to a load in the locating direction.

A method of processing a semiconductor device is provided with several steps, including the step of generating plasma in a processing chamber to form or process a thin firm on a semiconductor device. The step of scanning, through a window, intensity modulated laser beam, which is modulated at a desired frequency inside the processing chamber where the semiconductor device is being processed. The step of receiving by a sensor through the window a back scattered light being scattered from fine particles suspended in the processing chamber by the scanning laser and detecting the desired frequency component from a signal outputted from the sensor. From the detected frequency component information relating to quantity, size, and distribution of the fine particles illuminated by the laser beam inside the processing chamber is obtained. This information is then outputted.

The torque characteristic shifting mechanism changes over the torque characteristics in a multi-step manner with an increase of the vehicle velocity by setting the distances so as to meet the relationships R3≈R2>R1 or R2>R3>R1 where R1, R2 and R3 are the distance from a center of rotation of a weight member accommodated rockably around the center of rotation to a center of the ball blocking the drain hole, the distance from the center of rotation to a center of gravity of the weight member and the distance from the center of rotation to a center of a spring, respectively.
Abstract:
According to the invention, the rear end of a preceding metal piece and a front end of a succeeding metal piece are heated, pressed and joined prior to the finishing hot rolling. An alternating magnetic field running through the metal pieces in the thickness direction thereof is generated in an end region on opposed faces of the respective metal pieces to perform heating. Another alternating magnetic field whose direction is reverse with respect to that of the former alternating magnetic field is partially generated in the end region on the opposed faces of the metal pieces and in either a region where the metal pieces exist or a region outside width ends of the metal pieces. This assures a uniform heating of the end region on the opposed faces of the metal pieces over their full width to reliably join the both metal pieces to each other.
