摘要:
A plasma generating apparatus irradiates plasma on a treatment object. The plasma is generated under gas pressure equal to or higher than 100 pascals and equal to or lower than atmospheric pressure in an inter-electrode gap between a first electrode to which a power supply is connected and a second electrode arranged to be opposed to the first electrode and grounded. The first electrode has a structure in which the first electrode is retained on a grounded conductive retaining member via a solid dielectric provided on a surface not opposed to the second electrode, and a conductive film is continuously provided on a surface in a predetermined range in contact with the conductive retaining member and a surface in a predetermined range not in contact with the conductive retaining member on a surface of the solid dielectric.

A thermal head has plural heat generating elements arrayed therein in a main scanning direction to form a heat generating element row, causes the respective heat generating elements to generate heat while conveying a recording medium in a sub-scanning direction, and forms plural dot lines in the main scanning direction on the recording medium to record an image. A plurality of the heat generating element rows are arrayed in the sub-scanning direction. Respective nth (n is a natural number) heat generating elements among the heat generating elements in the respective heat generating element rows can sharingly form a dot in the same position in an identical dot line according to independent driving for each of the heat generating element rows.
摘要:
In an image-forming method, a ribbon-shaped thermal transfer sheet with a dye layer and a protective material layer arranged side-by-side in the longitudinal direction is moved, and thermal energy is applied from a thermal head while arranging a recording medium to face the dye layer to thermally transfer the dye layer onto the recording medium to form an image. Thermal energy is applied while arranging the image to face the protective material layer to thereby form a protective layer on the image by thermal transfer. A ribbon-shaped surface-property-modifying sheet including a surface-property-modifying region for modifying the surface of the protective layer is moved, and the protective layer is aligned with the surface-property-modifying region of the surface-property-modifying sheet. Heat and pressure are applied from the thermal head and the surface-property-modifying sheet is detached after cooling to modify the surface condition of the protective layer.

A rotation state detecting device capable of detecting the direction of rotation of a rotating body includes first and second bridge circuits made up of magneto-resistance effect elements, a first comparator for detecting the increasing/decreasing direction of the center point voltage of the first bridge circuit, a second comparator for detecting the increasing/decreasing direction of the center point voltage of the second bridge circuit, a third comparator for detecting the difference between the center point voltage of the first bridge circuit and the center point voltage of the second bridge circuit, and logic value information deriving means for outputting “1” when the logic values of the outputs of the first comparator and the second comparator are both “1”, outputting “0” when they are both “0”, and continuing to output the previous value at other times, the direction of rotation of the rotating body being determined on the basis of a combination of the outputs of the first, second and third comparators and the logic value information deriving means.
摘要:
A field-effect transistor including N−-extension regions, an N+-drain region, an N+-source region and a gate electrode at a surface of a silicon substrate. A sidewall insulating film on one of the side surfaces of the gate electrode partially covers the surface of the N−-extension region, and a sidewall insulating film on the other side surface entirely covers the N−-extension region. Further, a silicon oxide film covers the surface of N−-extension region not covered by the sidewall insulating film. Thereby, resistances of the gate electrode, source region, and drain region can be easily reduced in a transistor having extension regions, which are asymmetrical with respect to the gate electrode.

A plate material 1 and piezoelectric ceramics 2 are bonded together through an alloy layer 3 formed by an alloy forming reaction due to the mutual diffusion phenomena between a liquid metal including at least galium and the plate material 1 or the piezoelectric ceramics 2, or the mutual diffusion phenomena between the liquid metal and metal powder. The alloy layer 3 may include at least one or more of indium, tin and zinc and at least one or more of copper, silver, gold, and palladium. Further, a metal may be provided on at least one of the bonded surfaces of the plate material 1 and the piezoelectric ceramics 2. This metal may include one or more of copper, silver, gold, tin and palladum. In addition, a metal layer may be formed on the bonded surface 1a side of the plate material 1. Still further, an amorphous layer may be formed on at least one of the parts between the plate material 1 and the alloy layer 3, and between the piezoelectric ceramics 2 and the alloy layer 3.
