[Objects] To improve productivity and reduce thermal energy consumption in manufacturing of high purity silicon as a raw material for metallurgical grade pure silicon.[Means to Solve]After conducting a first treatment of either removing boron by water-vapor added plasma arc heating or low-pressure oxygen plasma arc heating upon raw silicon contained in a hearth in a chamber to thereby putting the raw silicon into a high temperature molten state to thereby oxidizing and removing boron by evaporation, or removing phosphorus by electron beam irradiation to thereby putting the raw silicon into a high temperature molten state to thereby remove phosphorus by evaporation in an atmosphere suitable to the treatment; the atmosphere of the chamber is then changed to a vacuum atmosphere suitable to the remaining second treatment, while maintaining the silicon contained in the hearth in its molten state, and the second purification treatment is conducted; whereafter end(s) enriched in impurities is cut off by way of one-way coagulation method to obtain a high purity refined silicon ingot highly free from phosphorus, boron and other impurities.

A high-capacity magnetic memory capable of writing and reading a magnetic record in/from a magnetic recording film according to a perpendicular magnetic recording system at a high speed in a purely-electrically random access manner. In the magnetic memory, a writing-magnetic-field generating means 62 and a writing word line 43 are disposed relative to a perpendicular magnetic recording film 50, and a reading/writing bit-line conductor 41, a magnetoresistive-effect element 20 and a reading word lead conductor 42 are laminated in order on a probe substrate opposed to the perpendicular magnetic recording film 50. A magnetic probe 30 composed of a carbon nanotube containing a soft magnetic material is disposed relative to the magnetoresistive-effect element 20 in a standing manner, and electrically connected to the reading/writing bit-line conductor. During a writing operation, a micro-discharge is generated in a micro-gap G between the edge of the magnetic probe and the magnetic recording film under a writing magnetic field to allow a writing current to flow through the micro-gap G so as to heat a micro-region of the magnetic recording film in such a manner that it goes through its Curie point to thereby become magnetized in the direction of the recording magnetic field to form a magnetic record therein. During a reading operation, the magnetic record is read out through the magnetic probe in accordance with a current variation in the magnetoresistive-effect element.

A method and apparatus wherein measurement current values output from a first oxygen sensor and a second oxygen sensor are time sequentially measured. Each moving average value is calculated from each sequential measurement current value. Each time differential value is calculated from the pair of each calculated moving average values, by least squares approximation. Then, drug susceptibility is measured based upon each calculated time differential value, so that drug the susceptibility measurement is performed quickly or accurately.

An optical system support construction such as in a compact disc player includes a first pair of leaf springs having one ends fixed, a second pair of leaf springs having one ends fixed to free ends of the first pair of leaf springs, and an optical system component such as an objective lens supported on free ends of the second pair of leaf springs. The ratio of the spring constant of the first pair of leaf springs to the spring constant of the second pair of leaf springs is inversely proportional to the square root of the length of the first pair of leaf springs to the length of the second pair of leaf springs.

An aqueous resin composition with gas barrier properties contains (i) polyurethane resin having aurethane group and a urea group in a total concentration of 25 to 60% by weight and having a acid value of 5 to 100 mgKOH/g, (ii) a swelling inorganic layered compound (e.g., a water-swelling mica, and a montmorillonite), and (iii) a polyamine compound having an amine value of 100 to 1900 mgKOH/g. The polyurethane resin (i) is obtained by a reaction of (A) an aromatic, araliphatic or alicyclic polyisocyanate, (B) a polyhydroxyalkanecarboxylic acid, and at least one component selected from (C) a C2-8alkylene glycol and (D) a chain-extension agent (e.g., diamine, hydrazine and a hydrazine derivative), and neutralized with a neutralizing agent. The proportion of the acid group of the polyurethane resin (i) relative to the basic nitrogen atom of the polyamine compound (iii) is 10/1 to 1/5 as the equivalent ratio. A laminated film with high gas barrier properties is obtainable by coating a base film with the aqueous resin composition. The present invention provides an aqueous resin composition with excellent gas barrier properties, and a laminated film using the same.

Disclosed herein is a method for determining the drug sensitivity of a microbe which comprises pouring a microbial suspension into each of the compartments or wells at a position which is in the vicinity of an electrode for measuring dissolved oxygen concentration, measuring current from each electrode at a second time interval for a third time period, each time is obtained based upon each of the measured currents at which the maximum current is obtained, obtaining each current value within a fourth time period which starts from the time at which the maximum current is obtained, detecting drug sensitivity based upon the variation condition of each current value during the fourth time period. The method allows rapid drug susceptibility measurements.
