Abstract:
A nondestructive inspection apparatus having a SQUID is made with compact configuration and is capable of detecting a metallic or non-metallic metal for defects, corrosion, and the like, by forming the SQUID and a magnetic field applying coil on the same substrate. The SQUID comprises two Josephson junctions, a washer coil connected to the Josephson junctions to form a superconducting loop, shunt resistors, a damping resistor, and a feedback modulation coil, all of which are formed from a superconducting thin film on a supporting substrate. A magnetic field applying coil is formed on the same supporting substrate with a superconducting thin film or a normal conducting metal thin film. The magnetic field applying coil, which generally has plural turns around the SQUID, applies a dc or ac magnetic field to a sample. The change in magnetic field caused by a defect in the sample is detected by the washer coil, and the position and size of the defect may thus be determined. Since the magnetic field applying coil is integrated on the same substrate as that on which the SQUID is formed, the apparatus may be made compact.
Abstract:
A superconducting loop is formed by two Josephson junctions connected to both ends of a washer coil which serves also as a pick-up coil. The washer coil which is a magnetic field detection portion is constituted by two coils, i.e., a coil having a radius r.sub.1 and a number of turns n.sub.1 and a coil having a radius r.sub.2 and a number of turns n.sub.2 which are in the form of concentric circular loops. The two coils are coupled in opposite directions and are designed so that effective areas n.sub.1 .pi.r.sub.1.sup.2 and n.sub.2 .pi.r.sub.2.sup.2 are equal to each other. Since a magnetic field is directly detected by the washer coil, sensitivity to a magnetic field is enhanced. This makes it possible to obtain sufficient sensitivity to a magnetic field even if the area of the magnetic field detection portion is reduced to improve spatial resolution. It is, therefore, possible to realize a radial differential SQUID magnetic flux meter which has good spatial resolution and coil balance and which is suitable for mass production.

Abstract:
In manufacturing method for a thermal head, concave portions, including a reference concave portion, are formed on a surface of a substrate so that a length of each of the concave portions other than the reference concave portion increases as a distance from the reference concave portion in a length direction increases and so that a width of each of the concave portions other than the reference concave portion increases as a distance from the reference concave portion in a width direction increases. A mark identifying the reference concave portion is formed on the surface of the substrate. An insulating film is thermally fusion bonded to the surface of the substrate including the concave portions formed thereon. Heating resistors are formed on the insulating film using a photo mask by aligning the photo mask with the substrate in accordance with the reference concave portion to form the heating resistors so as to be opposed to the plurality of concave portions.

Abstract:
A heating resistor element component has a substrate and an adhesive layer provided on the substrate and including an adhesive and gap members arranged substantially uniformly in the adhesive. A heat storage layer is laminated on the substrate through intermediation of the adhesive layer so that the gap members maintain a distance between surfaces of the substrate and the heat storage layer constant. At least one heating resistor formed on the heat storage layer has a heating portion that generates heat. A cavity is provided in a region of the adhesive layer and interposed between the surfaces of the substrate and the heat storage layer. The cavity functions as a heat insulating layer for regulating an inflow of heat from the heat storage layer to the substrate.

A surface of the supporting substrate is formed with a first concave portion and a second concave portion. The first concave portion is arranged in a region opposed to heating portions of the heating resistors. The second concave portion is arranged at an interval in a vicinity of the first concave portion so that heat generated by the heating portions of the plurality of heating resistors is prevented from flowing into the supporting substrate.

A thermal head has a support substrate that has a concave portion having an opening portion formed in a surface of the support substrate, and an upper substrate bonded to the surface of the support substrate in a stacked state to close the opening portion. The upper substrate has an external dimension which is smaller than an external dimension of the support substrate and is slightly larger than an external dimension of the opening portion for closing the opening portion. A heating resistor is formed on a surface of the upper substrate in a position opposed to the concave portion of the support substrate. The thermal head is high in durability and reliability with increased printing efficiency as well as increased manufacturing yields.

Thus, the thickness of the upper substrate is easily measured without decomposing the thermal head.
