摘要:
A predetermined amount of liquid such as water is supplied to a backside surface of a workpiece such as a semiconductor wafer. Such liquid is a workpiece retaining liquid and is attached to a concave workpiece holding surface of a top ring. The workpiece is positioned between a turntable and the top ring and is polished by an abrasive cloth on the turntable while the workpiece is being pressed against the turntable by the top ring. While polishing, the workpiece is deformed toward the concave workpiece holding surface of the top ring, and a curvature of the deformed workpiece is controlled by the amount of liquid between the workpiece holding surface and the backside surface of the workpiece.
摘要:
An endpoint detection in a polishing process of a polishing object which has a first layer and a second layer, formed under the first layer, is performed by holding the polishing object on a top ring and pressing a surface of the first layer of the polishing object onto a polishing cloth mounted on a rotating turntable so as to remove the first layer, oscillating the top ring in contact with the turntable, periodically measuring a torque on the rotating turntable when the top ring is positioned at a specific radial location defined by a radius from a rotational center of the turntable, and determining the endpoint based on a change in the torque generated when the first layer is removed and the second layer comes into contact with the polishing cloth.

In an image signal processing apparatus, a drop-out period of an image signal is detected while the image signal is stored in a memory, the detected results are stored in another memory. Based on the information stored in the other memory, the signal drop-out period is displayed and the drop-out signal in the image signal is compensated.

An information recording system and apparatus records on a recording medium an audio signal, which is time-base compressed at a predetermined compression ratio, together with a data signal indicative of the compression ratio. A start signal indicative of the start of the audio signal, the data signal, the audio signal and the end signal indicative of the end of an audio signal are recorded in this order. A recording medium recorded by such system and apparatus is disclosed. A reproduction apparatus is also disclosed which reproduces the information out of such recording medium.

There is provided a communicating apparatus such as a television telephone having the absence recording function which can communicate either one or both of an image signal and a voice signal. The apparatus comprises: a memory such as a disk-shaped recording medium to store the voice signal and image signal so as to be concerned with each other; a judgement circuit to discriminate whether or not a personal code number which is input from a destination partner side through a public telephone line coincides with the ID number recorded on the memory; a transmitter to transmit the voice signal and the image signal stored in the memory as a pair to the line in accordance with the result of the discrimination of the judgement circuit; and a reading circuit to read out the voice signal and the image signal from the memory. After the transmitter transmitted the image signal, it transmits the voice signal. Thus, the subscriber can listen to the partner's voice while observing the still image by inputting the correct personal code number to the TV telephone.

A microbiological prevention of aflatoxin contamination in cereals and nuts is provided. Bacillus subtilis NK-330 and NK-C-3 effectively inhibit not only growth of aflatoxin-producing fungi including Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus but also production of aflatoxin by them.
摘要:
Disclosed is a reproducing apparatus having synchronizing signal generating means of the self-running type, means for reproducing a video signal from a medium, and means for adding a synchronizing signal produced by the synchronizing signal generating means to the video signal reproduced by the reproducing means, wherein the synchronizing signal produced by the synchronizing signal generating menas of the self-running type is added to the video signal reproduced from the medium.

A document reading device including an image reader. The image reader includes a first reader to read a first image from a first face of a document fed by a document feeder and a second reader to read a second face of the document. An operation mode is switchable between a normal operation mode in which the image reader is in an operation enabled state and an energy-saving mode in which the image reader is in an operation stop state. In a return from the energy saving mode to the normal operation mode, the image reader performs a start-up operation including a first initial operation for returning the first reader to the normal operation mode and then performs a second initial operation for returning the second reader to the normal operation mode.

A beverage container includes a container main body, an inner lid portion that covers the container main body, a spout portion which is formed on the inner lid portion and through which a beverage is discharged, a spout blocking portion 3a that blocks the spout portion, an outer lid portion disposed so as to be able to engage with and disengage from the inner lid portion, a ventilation portion that allows air to flow between the inside and the outside of the container main body, and a vent blocking portion formed on the outer lid portion or the inner lid portion to block the ventilation portion when the outer lid portion is placed to close the inner lid portion. A cancellation operation portion which cancels engagement between the outer lid portion and the inner lid portion is formed, and the beverage container further includes a ventilation adjusting protruding portion.
