A magnetic sensor which comprises (1) a supporting substrate, (2) a ferromagnetic tunnel junction element which has a first magnetic layer on the supporting substrate, a tunnel insulation layer on the first magnetic layer, the tunnel insulation layer comprising aluminum oxide obtained by oxidizing an aluminum film formed on the first magnetic layer by sputtering using an aluminum target having a purity of 99.999% or more, and a second magnetic layer on the tunnel insulation layer, and (3) a converter element converting a change in a magnetic field to a change in resistance. Alternatively, as the ferromagnetic tunnel junction element of (2), one whose tunnel junction has a voltage-resistance characteristic which is asymmetric in the direction of the applied voltage is used. The asymmetric voltage-resistance characteristic may be obtained by heat treatment of a film of the insulation layer material, changing a partial pressure of oxygen in an atmosphere for the formation of insulation layer of an oxide, use of two or more target material for the formation of film and a moving substrate, and the like.

Provision is made of a dicing apparatus, for dicing a plate-like workpiece, comprising a disk-like blade which rotates to form a groove in one surface of the workpiece; a water discharging portion which discharges water toward a bottom of the groove of the one surface of the workpiece to form a stream of water; and a laser light irradiating portion which irradiates a laser light in the stream of water and impinges the laser light onto the bottom of the groove while reflecting the laser light by an inner wall of the stream of water to remove the portion of the workpiece extending from the bottom of the groove to the other surface of the workpiece, so as to dice the workpiece.

A fingerprint image judgment apparatus is capable of judging whether or not fingerprint image data has been correctly read when a CPU having a small utilizable memory space is used. A first count unit counts the number of ridges or valleys in one direction of an X-axis direction or a Y-axis direction based on the pixel values stored in the first memory 141. A second count unit counts the number of ridges or valleys in the other direction of the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction based on a judgment result h_flg [i] stored in a second memory 142 and the pixel values stored in the first memory 141. The judgment result h_flg [i] indicates whether or not the pixel values form ridges or valleys in the one direction. A correctibility judgment unit judges whether or not the fingerprint image data has been correctly read by the fingerprint sensor 15 based on the number of ridges or the valleys counted by the first and second count units.

Scroll compressors may include a stationary scroll, a drive shaft, a crank shaft coupled to the drive shaft, a bearing member coupled to the crank shaft and a movable scroll coupled to the crank shaft. The movable scroll is typically disposed adjacent to the stationary scroll. Further, the movable scroll preferably includes a boss that extends in the axial direction of the crank shaft. A spacer may be disposed between the boss and the bearing member and the spacer preferably transmits orbital movement of the crank shaft to the movable scroll. A compression chamber is defined by a space between the stationary scroll and the movable scroll. Fluid (e.g. a refrigerant gas) is compressed within the compression chamber when the movable scroll revolves or orbits with respect to the stationary scroll. A discharge port may be defined within the movable scroll and may be adapted to discharge the compressed fluid to a side that is opposite of the stationary scroll. A discharge valve is preferably coupled to the discharge port and is operable to open and close the discharge port. The discharge valve may, for example, include a reed valve and a retainer that holds the reed valve. Further, the spacer may be fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the boss by a frictional fit and may contact the discharge valve. The bearing member may be, e.g., a plain bearing or a needle bearing.

Scroll compressor may include, for example, a stationary scroll, a drive shaft, a crank shaft coupled to the drive shaft, a bush coupled to the outer surface of the crank shaft and a movable scroll coupled to the crank shaft. The movable scroll is preferably disposed adjacent to the stantionary scroll. A boss may be coupled to the movable scroll and the boss preferably protrudes from the movable scroll at the opposite side of the stationary scroll. A seal is preferably disposed in a clerance defined between the bush and the boss. A compression chamber is defined by a space between the stationary scroll and the movable scroll. Fluid is compressed within the compression chamber when the movable scroll revolves or orbits with respect to the stationary scroll. A discharge port is preferably defined within the movable scroll and is adapted to discharge compressed fluid to a side that is opposite of the stationary scroll.

A primary side of a transformer has a switching transistor to on-off control the current flowing in a primary winding on a primary side. A secondary side of the transformer has a commutating side FET to be turned on by applying the induced voltage of a tertiary winding on a secondary side of a current transformer, and a flywheel side FET with the primary winding on the primary side of the current transformer connected thereto in series. The current transformation ratio of the current transformer is small in the initial period when the flywheel side FET is turned on, and then, the current transformation ratio is increased by current controlling means comprising a saturable reactor, a diode or the like.

An instrument panel of a division type, which has distinctly divided portions, reduces restrictions on designing freedom resulting from a break line and a parting line of an air bag door portion and prevents the overall quality of the outward appearance from deteriorating. The instrument panel is of a type that is divided into upper and lower panels, and the lower panel is divided into a passenger-side lower panel and a driver-side lower panel. The parting line of the instrument panel coincides with a cleavage line defined by an upper air bag door portion and a lower air bag door portion. In a lower door insert of the lower air bag door portion, a free end thereof is set wider than a fixed end thereof. The passenger-side lower panel including the lower air bag door portion is entirely covered with a single skin.

A spin valve magnetoresistive head includes a first soft magnetic layer and a second soft magnetic layer having larger internal stress than that of the first magnetic layer. The larger internal stress of the second soft magnetic layer is created by injecting the second soft magnetic layer with a selected type of ion. Also included in the head is a nonmagnetic layer formed between the first soft magnetic layer and the second soft magnetic layer.

A purification apparatus and method for enabling the purification of the lake and pond waters, is installed as a fluidized bed sewage system directly on the raw water area. The apparatus takes in the raw waters in the lake and pond and purifies the water. The purified water is fed back to the raw water area by the pump.With this purification apparatus, the salt materials such as phosphate in the lakes, and the overall area of the waters can be purified while preventing the generation of phytoplanktons.
