Abstract:
The image forming apparatus includes an image forming section; a conveyance path to convey a recording medium to the image forming section; a drawer unit including the conveyance path and configured to be pulled out relative to the apparatus; an electrical cable to electrically connect the drawer unit and an interior of the apparatus even when the drawer unit is pulled out from the apparatus; and a cable holder (a first regulating member) to ensure that that the cable is securely prevented from protruding from the drawer unit. According to the present invention, the electric cable is prevented from running off from the drawer unit due to the folding of the cable caused by the regulating member, so that the electric cable is prevented from getting hung up on the parts disposed in the body.

Abstract:
The voltage Vdd is set to be lower than in the normal operation (step S100), then voltage is applied to each of the power-supply voltage applied node Vdd, the ground voltage applied node Vss, the semiconductor substrate and the well so that relative high voltage between the gate of turn-on transistor and the semiconductor substrate or the gate of turn-on transistor and well (steps S110 and S120). This process accomplishes rising of the threshold voltage of the transistor that is turned on, the reduction of the variation in the threshold voltage between a plurality of the transistors of the memory cell including latch circuit, and the improvement of the voltage characteristic of the memory cell.
Abstract:
Since charging characteristics differ between the outer circumferential portion and the center portion of a sample to be inspected, equivalent inspection sensitivities cannot be obtained in the outer circumferential portion and the center portion of the sample to be inspected. A sample cover is provided in the outer circumferential portion of a sample holder on which the sample to be inspected is placed. Charging characteristics of the sample cover are changed according to charging characteristics of the sample to be inspected. Consequently, uniform charged states can be formed in the outer circumferential portion and the center portion of the sample. Inspection/observation of the outer circumferential portion of the sample can be realized at higher sensitivity than in the past.

Abstract:
An optical information recording medium (1) includes on a substrate (50), a ROM layer (20), a RE layer (40), an intermediate layer (30) separating the ROM layer (20) and the RE layer (40), and a light transmitting layer (10) provided farthest from the substrate (50). The RE layer (40) is an information recording layer provided most farthest from the light transmitting layer (10), and is a recording layer of BCA recorded in a format easily determinable as compared to an information recording format used in the ROM layer (20), and antifouling property of a surface of the light transmitting layer (10) is set based on the RE layer (40). This makes it easy for the recording and reproducing apparatus to confirm a disc type, allows for sharing one recording and reproducing apparatus with other types of optical discs, and simplifies the disc production. Furthermore, an optical information recording medium is accomplished, in which outdated data on the ROM layer is replaced by recording, on the RE layer, updated data obtained while Internet connection can be established.

Abstract:
The invention provides an analgesic anti-inflammatory patch of a hydrophobic type for topical application containing, in a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive(PSA), diclofenac sodium, pyrrolidone or a derivative thereof, a polyhydric alcohol fatty acid ester, and an organic acid. The patch exerts the following effects: (1) diclofenac sodium is effectively and continuously released from a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive(PSA) and percutaneously absorbed, thereby attaining sustained, excellent pharmaceutical and pharmacological effects; (2) the patch per se has high tackiness and safety; and (3) diclofenac sodium remains stable in the Pressure Sensitive Adhesive(PSA).
Abstract:
Provided is a pattern inspection apparatus including: a charge formation means which forms charge on a surface of a substrate (7) by generating an electron beam from a second electron source (20) which is different from an electron source (I) which generates an electron beam before irradiating an electron beam (3), a current measuring means (34) which measures a value of current flowing in the substrate while the charge is formed on the surface of the substrate by the charge formation means; and an adjustment means (37) which adjusts the charge formed by the charge formation means so that the value of the current measured by the current measuring means is a predetermined target value. Provided is also a pattern inspection method which uses the pattern inspection apparatus. Thus, it is possible to easily set an optimal condition of precharge executed before inspection of a pattern formed by a semiconductor apparatus manufacturing process and automatically inspection whether the precharge is good. Then, the inspection result is fed back to the operation afterward. This prevents lowering of the reliability of the inspection result and always enables a stable inspection.
