A gas sensor controller 190 stops an operation of pumping in or out oxygen that is being performed by a first pump cell 111 in a state that the oxygen concentration (oxygen partial pressure) of a gas to be measured is equal to a status judgment reference value (20%). The gas sensor controller 190 calculates an oxygen pressure in a second measurement chamber 161 on the basis of a second pump current Ip2. If the oxygen pressure in the second measurement chamber 161 is equal to a deterioration judgment reference value, the gas sensor controller 190 judges that the second pump cell 113 is in a normal state. If the oxygen pressure in the second measurement chamber 161 is different from the deterioration judgment reference value, the gas sensor controller 190 judges that the second pump cell 113 is in a deteriorated state.

In an engine-driven handheld vacuum/blower, a first grip is provided as one part of an outer shape of an engine casing in which an engine is mounted, and a second grip is formed on a fuel tank which forms another part of the outer shape of the engine casing. The first grip and the second grip are positioned on the opposite sides of the center axis of the engine. Therefore, since there is no unbalanced load applied on either of both the hands, an operator can easily maintain the posture during operation, and can work with the vacuum/blower under good efficiency.

An optical head device may include an objective lens drive device for driving an objective lens, an optical path defining optical system which defines an optical path directing to the objective lens from the light source and an optical path directing to a light receiving element from the objective lens, a device frame which holds the objective lens drive device on an upper face side of the device frame and on which the optical path defining optical system is mounted, an aberration compensating element which is mounted on the upper face of the device frame and disposed between the optical path defining optical system and the objective lens for compensating aberration of the laser beam that is converged on the optical recording disk, and a wavelength plate which is disposed between the optical path defining optical system and the objective lens for converting a polarization direction of the laser beam emitted from the optical path defining optical system.
摘要:
A gas-circulating processing apparatus which comprises a processing chamber, a gas feeding piping, a gas supply piping, a first exhaust mechanism discharging a gas from the processing chamber, a second exhaust mechanism discharging a portion of a gas discharged from the first exhaust mechanism, a back pressure adjusting mechanism interposed between the first exhaust mechanism and the second exhaust mechanism to adjust a back pressure of the first exhaust mechanism, and a gas circulating piping which is configured to combine another portion of the gas that has been discharged from the first exhaust mechanism with a processing gas supplied from the gas supply piping, wherein the gas feeding piping has a larger inner diameter than that of the gas supply, or the processing gas is introduced into the first exhaust mechanism, or a first heater is provided to heat at least part of the circulating route.
摘要:
A polymer comprises recurring units of formula (1) and recurring units having acid labile groups which units increase alkali solubility as a result of the acid labile groups being decomposed under the action of acid, and has a Mw of 1,000-500,000. R1 and R2 each are hydrogen, hydroxyl, hydroxyalkyl, alkyl, alkoxy or halogen, and n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. The polymer is useful as a base resin to form a chemically amplified, positive resist composition which has advantages including a significantly enhanced contrast of alkali dissolution rate before and after exposure, high sensitivity, high resolution, and high etching resistance and is best suited as a micropatterning material for use in VLSI manufacture.

A loudspeaker apparatus 1 includes a loudspeaker unit 3 and an installation device 2. The loudspeaker unit 3 includes drivers 22 and 23 and an enclosure for the drivers composed of front and rear members 20 and 21. The loudspeaker unit is detachably mounted to an installation device 2, which, in turn, is secured to an installation surface 11 to which the loudspeaker apparatus is to be installed. The loudspeaker unit is mounted rotatable about its center axis 25. The drivers have respective sound radiation center axes 22a and 23a, which are oriented to intersect the center line 25 at a predetermined angle &thgr;. Thus, the direction in which the drivers radiate sound can be changed by rotating the loudspeaker unit about the center axis.
摘要:
An intake passage device is provided for an internal combustion engine having carburetor communicated with a connecting projection of an intake port of a cylinder of the engine, wherein the diameter of the connecting projection becomes smaller toward the inside of the intake port. A connecting pipe is provided for communicating the carburetor with the intake port. An inner end of the connecting pipe is engaged in the connecting projection. There is formed a plurality of one communication passages formed in the connecting pipe for communicating an inside of the connecting pipe with a space between an inside wall of the connecting projection and an outside wall of the connecting pipe.
