摘要:
After forming a hole in an insulating film, a first tungsten film is formed over the wall and bottom surfaces of the hole. Then, a second tungsten film is formed by using the first tungsten film as a seed layer to fill up the hole. When the first tungsten film is formed, the average value of the diameters of crystal grains of the portion of the first tungsten film which is formed on the bottom surface of the hole is suppressed to 30 nm or less.

This invention there provides a detergent for cleaning tire wheels, which is applied in a foamy state onto the tire wheels, thereby allowing a grime adhered to the surface of the tire wheels to come off from the tire wheels, which contains a surfactant, at least one alkali compound selected from the group consisting of ammonia and amino group-containing alkali compounds, and a color change indicator capable of changing its own color when transferred from an alkaline condition to a neutral condition, in which the alkali compound is contained in the detergent in such an amount that the compound is eliminated from the detergent by reaction with carbon dioxide for the same period of time as required to release most amounts of grime from the surface of tire wheels, and a method of cleaning tire wheels with the detergent.
摘要:
A communication apparatus having a transmission function for transmitting data to another apparatus using a transmission protocol selected from a plurality of transmission protocols. A multifunction printer (MFP) implementing the communication apparatus authenticates a user, and acquires destination information associated with the authenticated user. The MFP permits the use of a specific transmission protocol for transmission using the acquired destination information, and restricts the use of the specific transmission protocol for transmission using other destination information. Further, the MFP permits display of destination information matching the acquired destination information, but restricts display of other destination information, among destination information stored in a hard disk in association with the specific transmission protocol.
摘要:
A device function to be used by an application is specified, a risk level of the specified device function is acquired, and a risk level of the application is calculated based on the acquired risk level of the device function.

A microcomputer is equipped with a CPU and an AD converter. The AD converter is supplied with the same power source voltage as the CPU, and converts a reference voltage into digital data using the received power source voltage and outputs the digital data as a conversion value. The CPU detects a state of the power source voltage by calculating a voltage variation of a power source voltage for ordinary operation on the basis of a first conversion value obtained by AD-converting the reference voltage by the AD converter in a state that a standard power source voltage including no voltage variation is supplied to the AD converter and a second conversion value obtained by AD-converting the reference voltage by the AD converter in a state that the power source voltage for ordinary operation is supplied to the AD converter.
摘要:
Even in printing apparatus that make use of a plurality of kinds of sheets, the degradation of image quality is reduced. A sheet conveying apparatus includes: a sheet stacking unit; a sheet conveying unit being in contact with the sheet stacked on an uppermost portion, of the stacked sheets, and conveying the sheet; a separation unit separating the sheets into only one sheet of the uppermost portion by a separation slope that abuts a tip portion of the sheet conveyed by the sheet conveying unit; and a guide unit connected to the separation unit and guiding the sheet, in which an angle between the sheet stacking unit and the separation slope is switched to a first angle and a second angle smaller than the first angle by a rotation center of the separation unit provided in a vicinity of a connection portion of the separation unit and the guide unit.
