A polishing apparatus is used for polishing a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer, and has a sensor capable of continuously detecting the thickness of an electrically conductive layer. The polishing apparatus includes a polishing table having a polishing surface, and a top ring for holding and pressing the substrate against the polishing surface to polish the surface of the substrate. A sensor such as an eddy-current sensor is disposed below the polishing surface of the polishing table for measuring the thickness of a conductive layer formed on the surface of the substrate.

A recording head 200 has a plurality of nozzle orifices aligned in a row extending in a first direction. The recording head 200 is arranged with the nozzle orifices in confrontation with a recording medium P. The recording medium P is moved in a second direction B with respect to the recording head 200. Also, ink droplets ejected from the nozzle orifices are charged to a charged amount that corresponds to deflection amount of the ink droplets. The charged ink droplets are deflected in a direction perpendicular to a main scanning line. The plurality of ink droplets ejected from the plurality of nozzle orifices impinge on the same pixel position or at a nearby position so that it is possible to impinge multiple droplets at the same pixel position or a nearby position. As a result, it is possible to back up broken nozzles and to reduce recording distortion.

An orifice electrode/ink receiving member 11 is attached to an orifice plate 13 that is attached to a recording head module 10. An ink absorbing member 111 is embedded in a lower surface of the orifice electrode/ink receiving member 11. A recording ink droplet 14 ejected through an orifice 12 is deflected as needed by an angled electric field 85 and then impinges on a recording sheet 60 to form a recording dot 70. On the other hand, a refresh ink droplet 15 is deflected by the angled electric field 85 and impinges on the ink absorbing member 111 of the orifice electrode/ink receiving member 11 after flying in a U-turn path. In this configuration, the ink absorbing member 111 provided to the orifice electrode/ink receiving member 11 collects ink, so that there is no need to increase a gap between the recording head module 10 and the recording sheet 60 so much in order to dispose the ink absorbing member 111, preventing decrease in recording precision and paper jam. Also, it is possible to perform the ink refresh operation using a minimum amount of ink anytime needed without stopping recording operations.

When positively charged ink droplets 608 from a defective nozzle impact a negatively charged deflector electrode 320, the positive charge on condenser 609 flows to the ground via a FET 618 of a photo-coupler 610. As a result, the electric discharge occurs by an amount equivalent to the charging amount of the ink droplets 608 clinging on the electrode 320. Because a switching signal 606 is “1”, the ON resistance of the photo-coupler 610 is large, and the ON resistance of the FET 620 of the photo-coupler 612 is small. Accordingly, the discharge due to the charged ink droplets 608 is detected as a large detection voltage and amplified by an operational amplifier 613 . Because the charger voltage of the condenser 609 is static and has no noise, even when the detection output 615 is highly amplified, noise during the detection is suppressed.

The present invention provides a resin-molding method comprising the steps of: placing a circuit base member onto a mounting face of first one of paired dies, wherein a back face of the circuit base member is in contact with the mounting face; placing the paired dies in a closing state for clamping a peripheral region of the circuit base member with the paired dies; and injecting a molten resin into a cavity of the paired dies for filling the cavity with the injected resin, wherein, in the closing state, a first pressure effected to a front face of the circuit base member is set higher in pressure level than a second pressure effected to the back face of the circuit base member, so as to secure the circuit base member to the mounting face.

The present invention provides a chrome-plated sliding member free from periodical decreases in wear resistance or seizure resistance without the necessity to intentionally bend a multi-layer hard chrome plating film. This is a sliding member having a multi-layer hard chrome plating film on the sliding surface of the substrate 1. Microcracks 6 opening to the outer surface side of the individual hard chrome plating layers are distributed in hard chrome plating layers 2, 3, 4 and 5. The microcracks of the individual hard chrome plating layers comprise relatively shallow portions 6a where bottoms stop within a single layer, and relatively deep portions 6b and 6c where cracks run through two or more layers. The quantities of the microcracks expressed by the area ratios of microcracks on a cross-section of the hard chrome plating film include a quantity of the portions where cracks stop within a single layer within a range of from 1.5 to 35.0%, a quantity of the portions where cracks run through two or more layers within a range of from 0.5 to 25.0%, and a total quantity of microcracks within a range of from 2.0 to 40.0%.

A conference video display system is provided for allowing attendees at the conference to switch to the video images of their respective personal computers at will, and eliminating the need for determining the correlation between the personal computers and channels of a switching unit, to provide facilitated and appropriate video switching. The system has a switching unit for receiving a plurality of video signals and selectively outputting the received video signals, and a plurality of connection cables for connecting the switching unit and a plurality of personal computers. Each of the connection cables has a selection request switch near the personal computer connected thereto to make the switching unit select the video signal from the connected personal computer as an output video signal thereof.

An ink jet recording device 1 includes a plurality of head modules 101 each formed with a plurality of nozzles. The ink jet recording device 1 prints a test pattern using the all nozzle of the head modules 101. Precise positions of dots forming the test pattern are detected, based on which positional shifts of the head modules 101 are calculated. The deflection amount and ink ejection timing for each head module 101 are changed based on the detected positional shift. In this manner, positional shifts of the assembled head modules 101 are electrically corrected without mechanically changing the physical positions of the head modules 101.

In an ink jet recording head, the thin-film thermal resistor is covered by an electrically-insulating oxidation film. An inorganic insulation layer is formed over a part of the thin-film thermal resistor and the thin-film conductor. An organic insulation layer is formed over at least a part of the inorganic insulation layer that covers the connecting edge of the connection portion between the thin-film thermal resistor and the thin-film conductor.

The substance of the present invention which contains an amine derivative such as alkanol amine, alkyl amine and alkylene amine and a surface-active agent is capable of converting waste cooking oil into useful liquid soap easily and quickly. The substance contains a minimum amount of or no strong alkali substances and is therefore quite safe for home use. Thus, waste cooking oil may be recycled for useful purposes and contamination of sewage with waste cooking oil can be prevented.
