Abstract:
A slide-hopper-type coating method in which the viscosity of the coating solution forming a free-falling curtain and the angle .alpha. which the front edge of the lip of the slide hopper forms with respect to the horizontal are selected with respect to the flow rate of the curtain in such a way that the line of contact between the curtain and the web is concave with respect to the direction in which the web travels. In addition, the angle .beta. which the extension of the curtain in the direction of its fall forms with respect to the direction of travel of the web at the point where the curtain is deposited on the web is preferably adjusted so that it is an obtuse angle not larger than 140.degree.. By satisfying these conditions, the coating method of the present invention is capable of extending the upper limit of coating speeds without causing "sagging" in the range of high flow quantities of coating solution per unit length of curtain coat width.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises the steps of forming a polysilicon spacer on an after-oxide film on a semiconductor substrate, doping the polysilicon spacer by ion-implanting an impurity such as phosphorus, thermally diffusing the impurity into the polysilicon spacer, and eliminating the polysilicon spacer in part by etching. A semiconductor device manufactured by this method is also disclosed.
Abstract:
An automatic infinitesimal liquid reactor equipped with a pipetter for dispensing reagents employs two stages which are capable of sliding horizontally. A microplate which has a plurality of recesses in rows is placed in one stage and reagent bottles are placed on the other stage. The pipetter is supported on a horizontal guide rail operating slidably horizontally and along an axis perpendicular to the direction in which the two stages slide. The horizontal guide rail is supported on a vertical guide rail so as to operate slidably in a vertical direction. Thus the pipetter can be moved in a plane perpendicular to the direction in which the two stages slide. When reagents are sucked from reagent bottles, the second stage is slid so that a reagent bottle is superposed below the pipetter and the pipetter is moved downwardly into the reagent bottle to draw in a reagent. When the reagent is discharged, the first stage is slid so that the microplate is superposed below the pipetter and the pipetter is moved downwardly into a recess to discharge the reagent, thereby dispensing a reagent efficiently and minimizing the space required for the reactor.
Abstract:
A cleaner wherein the upper surface of a main body is provided with fasteners each of which includes a stopper arm portion which is opened and closed by slidably operating an opening and closing lever that is engageable with sides of the main body, while each side of the main body is provided with a pile composed of short tufts. A cloth having a larger area than that of the bottom of the main body is pierced with the pile to lock the same to the opposite sides of said main body, and the cloth is positively retained on the opposite sides of the main body by the stopper arm portions of the fasteners, so that the bottom of the main body is covered with the cloth.
Abstract:
A touch panel (input device) includes a flexible transparent base; a transparent electrode formed on a first surface of the transparent base; a decorative layer formed on a second surface of the transparent base, the second surface being opposite the first surface; and a transparent panel (glass panel) bonded to the second surface of the transparent base, with an optical clear adhesive layer interposed therebetween.
Abstract:
An electronic device has a plurality of wired-connection terminals, a selection portion that selects one of the plurality of wired-connection terminals for input of source data, and a transmission portion that wiredly transmits a command requesting a shift to a normal-operation mode to another electronic device having a power-save mode after switching of input by selection by the selection portion. The plurality of wired-connection terminals are all of an identical type for wired connection to another electronic device having a power-save mode.
Abstract:
A lower surface and an upper surface are provided in a detection panel 2. Lower electrode layers 11a and 11b, a lower wiring pattern 15, and a lower land portion 13 formed on the lower surface are covered with upper shielding layers 28a and 28c of the upper surface, and an upper electrode layer 21, an upper wiring pattern 25, and an upper land portion 23 formed in the upper surface are covered with lower shielding layers 19a and 19b of the lower surface. Therefore, an effect of a decorative area shielding light may be enhanced, and thus an electrical shielding effect may further be exhibited.
Abstract:
In a wireless transmission system that transmits and receives a modulated signal between a transmitter and a receiver that are coupled through a wireless transmission path, the transmitter includes a spectrum division filter bank dividing the modulated signal and generating a plurality of sub-spectrum signals each of which is arranged at a predetermined frequency position, and subjects the plurality of sub-spectrum signals arranged in spectra to a direct spectrum division transmission, and the receiver includes a spectrum combination filter bank extracting the plurality of sub-spectrum signals from the received signals arranged in spectra and subjected to the direct spectrum division transmission to combine the sub-spectrum signals into an original modulated signal.
Abstract:
A thin-film magnetic head comprises a reproducing element formed on an undercoat film on a head substrate surface, a recording element formed on the upper side of the reproducing element, and a heater formed on the upper or lower side of the reproducing element, the heater generating heat upon energization so as to project at least the reproducing element by thermal expansion toward a recording medium. A shield layer is formed between the reproducing element and the heater by a plurality of layers including at least first and second shield layers. In the first and second shield layers, the second upper shield layer located closer to the heater is formed by a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion smaller than that of the first shield layer located closer to the reproducing element.
Abstract:
A perpendicular magnetic recording head includes a main magnetic pole layer and a return yoke layer which are laminated with a magnetic gap layer interposed therebetween on a medium-opposing surface, and a pair of side shield layers positioned on both sides in the track width direction of the main magnetic pole layer while interposing a nonmagnetic material layer therebetween. The magnetic gap layer is constituted by a first gap layer formed in a partial area in the track width direction bridging the main magnetic pole layer and the pair of side shield layers, and a second gap layer thinner than the first gap layer and interposed between the return yoke layer and the pair of side shield layers in a remaining area where the first gap layer is absent.
