摘要:
A sealing member for sealing a slenderly extending developer outflow opening formed in a container accommodating a developer. The sealing member includes a first film strip formed from a longitudinally stretched plastic film, and a second film strip formed from a similarly longitudinally stretched plastic film. The first film strip and the second film strip are bonded to each other as required.

The invention is directed to preventing meltdown of conductive metal electrodes 5, 5 used to supply current to a heater 104 of a crucible 103. A single crystal pulling apparatus comprises: the heater 104 which encircles the crucible 103, and the pair of electrodes 5, 5, respectively threaded to a pair of graphite intermediate electrodes 6 of the heater 104, and a voltage source 9 for supplying power to the pair of electrodes 5, 5. A switch 11 switches the power on and off. A watthour meter 10a, continuously measures the current flowing through the heater 104. Investigation by the present inventors showed that in the case of a crack 8 in a lower portion of the intermediate electrode 6, minute fluctuations occurred in the measured value of the current, arising from an electric discharge phenomena in the crack 8 prior to meltdown of the electrodes 5, 5. Therefore, if fluctuations in the electric current measured by the wattmeter 10a are outside of a tolerance range, the controller 12 switches off the switch 11, thus interrupting power to the electrodes 5, 5, and preventing meltdown of the electrodes 5, 5.

A capacitive sensor includes a fixed electrode and a movable electrode that is movably supported by an anchor portion through a beam portion. The fixed electrode and the movable electrode are opposed to each other with a gap interposed therebetween, thereby constituting a detecting unit. A capacitance suitable for a size of the gap is detected to detect a predetermined physical value. At least one of an end of the beam portion connected to the anchor portion and an end of the beam portion connected to the movable electrode is provided with a stress moderating unit that moderates a stress.

A silicon single crystal rod (24) is pulled from a silicon melt (13) molten by a heater (17), and a change in diameter of the silicon single crystal rod every predetermined time is fed back to a pulling speed of the silicon single crystal rod and a temperature of the heater, thereby controlling a diameter of the silicon single crystal rod. A PID control in which a PID constant is changed on a plurality of stages is applied to a method which controls the pulling speed of the silicon single crystal rod so that the silicon single crystal rod has a target diameter and a method which controls a heater temperature so that the silicon single crystal rod has the target temperature. A set pulling speed for the silicon single crystal rod is set so that V/G becomes constant, and an actual pulling speed is accurately controlled so as to match with the set pulling speed, thereby suppressing a fluctuation in diameter of the single crystal rod.

A semiconductor acceleration sensor comprises: a frame having an opening inside thereof; flexible beams extending from the frame to the inside of the opening of the frame; a weight suspended from and supported by the beams so that the weight can freely move; piezoresistors to be mounted on the beams and to vary the resistance values in response to accelerations which work on the piezoresistors. The frame comprises damper plate portions, each of which covers a part of the opening spanning from a corner portion of two neighboring sides of the frame on the side of the opening to the inside of the opening, and each of which serves serve as a stopper to limit movement of the weight. The weight has corner portions which face the corner portions, respectively, and each of which is chamfered to have a shape of arc or a polygonal line consisting of at least three sides as seen in plan view. Thereby, the breaking strength of each stopper is increased, and hence a semiconductor acceleration sensor having superior shock resistance can be obtained.
