摘要： It is often the case that a substrate suitable for epitaxial growth does not match a substrate desirable for the use in functional elements such as thermoelectric conversion elements or the like. The present invention makes it possible to separate a predetermined layered structure formed on a substrate therefrom through an action of water vapor. A method of manufacturing a crystalline film of the present invention includes the steps of: epitaxially growing on a substrate a crystalline film including a layered structure so that the layered structure comes into contact with the substrate; contacting water vapor supplied from a water vapor source with the layered structure in a chamber; and separating the layered structure that has been contacted with the water vapor from the substrate to obtain the crystalline film. The layered structure has a layer containing an alkali metal, and a layer containing an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Fe, Ni, Mn, Ti, Cr, V, Nb, and Mo.

摘要： A timer operates when a barcode reader is lifted from a charger and a charger terminal is isolated from the charger and a communication control means transmits an application acknowledgment signal to the fixed unit via a light receiving means when a barcode indicating the ID number of a user is read within the predetermined time after operation of the timer. A check means of the fixed unit watches detection of reception of the application acknowledgment signal by a communication control means and drives an alarm means when such signal is not received within the predetermined time after the timer has operated, while lights a communicating condition display lamp of the charger for each reception of the application acknowledgment signal and each subsequent communication. Accordingly, the fixed unit can be connected easily to a host computer and can easily select its installation area, while the charger can be set to the area near a user. Communication can be confirmed from both handy unit and the charger.
