    摘要: A thin film composed of a material containing a metal and silicon is formed on a transparent substrate, and a thin film pattern is formed by patterning the thin film. Then, the main surface and the side walls of the thin film pattern are previously modified so as to prevent the transfer characteristics of the thin film pattern from changing more than predetermined even in the case where exposure light with a wavelength of 200 nm or less is cumulatively applied onto the thin film pattern which has been formed. The main surface and the side walls are modified by, for instance, performing heat treatment to the main surface and the side walls at 450-900° C. in the atmosphere containing oxygen.

    摘要: In a sensor control circuit, an impedance signal output unit has a HPF, a P/H circuit, a LPF, etc., and detects an element impedance of a sensor element on the basis of an impedance response signal which is alternately changed in response to an alternating current signal supplied to the sensor element. The P/H circuit has an input comparator which inputs an impedance detection voltage Vz after the HPF, a rectifying element connected to the P/H circuit, and a hold capacitor which is charged by the output of the input comparator. The input comparator has a constant current circuit and a transistor. The constant current circuit limits an updating value of a hold voltage value Vph of the hold capacitor every alternating current period. The sensor control device detects the element impedance of the sensor element with high accuracy while preventing influence of noise.

    摘要: In at least one of flow distribution areas 35 provided on a separator 15, plurality of first projections 46 formed in a region corresponding to a first section (parted regions 32a and 32c) of a center area (including parted regions 32a through 32c) having a relatively high flow rate of a first fluid (refrigerant) are designed to have a larger diameter of a cross section than plurality of first projections 46 formed in a region corresponding to a second section (parted region 32b) of the center area having a relatively low flow rate of the first fluid. This arrangement effectively attains a substantially uniform flow rate distribution of a fluid in a fluid flow path formed on a separator, which is configured to have concavo-convex structures formed in a mutually reversed relation on two opposed sides thereof.

    摘要: The present invention is a method of manufacturing a transfer mask with use of a mask blank in which a thin film for pattern formation and a chromium-based thin film made of a material containing chromium are stacked on a transparent substrate in this order. The thin film for pattern formation is made of material containing silicon and a transition metal other than chromium. The chromium-based thin film is made of a material containing chromium. Exposure light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less is applied to the transfer mask. In the manufacturing method, the transfer mask is produced by performing, in the following order, a process of forming a resist film having a transfer pattern on the chromium-based thin film, a process of forming a transfer pattern in the chromium-based thin film with use of a mask of the resist film having the transfer pattern, a process of forming a transfer pattern in the thin film for pattern formation with use of a mask of the chromium-based thin film having the transfer pattern, and a process of removing the chromium-based thin film by etching. The manufacturing method further includes a cleaning process of at least one of alkali solution cleaning, hot water cleaning, and ozone-containing water cleaning on the produced transfer mask until a width of the transfer pattern of the thin film for pattern formation is reduced by 4 nm or a space width of the thin film for pattern formation is increased by 4 nm.

    摘要: A gas concentration measuring apparatus for use in air-fuel ratio control of automotive engines is designed to determine the concentration of oxygen within a wide and a narrow range using a sensor current flowing through a sensor element. The apparatus includes an amplifier circuit equipped with an operational amplifier and a plurality of amplifying resistors and a switch. The switch is responsive to a request signal to switch a relation in electrical connection between an operational amplifier and the amplifying resistors to distribute the amplifying resistors into an input resistor and a feedback resistor for the operational amplifier to change an amplification factor of the amplifier circuit. This results in a change in resolution of measurement of the concentration of oxygen, thereby ensuring enhanced accuracy in determining the concentration of oxygen in a selected one of the narrow and wide ranges.

    摘要: A fast reactor including a reactivity control assembly including a reactor shutdown rod and neutron absorbers, a reactor shutdown rod drive mechanism, and units of neutron absorber drive mechanism. The reactor shutdown rod drive mechanism causes an inner extension tube to fall and release the reactor shutdown rod by a gripper section by turning off the power supply to a holding magnet at the time of scram. When grasping the neutron absorbers, an outer extension shaft is pulled up to allow both of the extension shafts to be inserted. After the outer extension tube gets to a handling head section of the neutron absorber, the outer extension shaft is pushed down to grasp the neutron absorber externally by latch fingers of the gripper section so that the neutron absorber can be moved up and down.
