The present invention relates to a reformed gas production apparatus that includes a reaction chamber containing a reforming catalyst, a supply route to the reaction chamber, a reformed gas conduction route from the reaction chamber, and a reaction chamber temperature control means that controls a temperature of the reaction chamber. The supply route supplies a fluid that includes a fuel containing a hydrocarbon having at least two carbon atoms, at least one of steam and a carbon dioxide-containing gas, and an oxygen-containing gas. The fuel can be a mixed fuel that includes a plurality of types of hydrocarbons that each have at least two carbon atoms. The reaction chamber temperature control means relates to the thermal decomposition index temperature of the fuel, which defines an upper limit temperature of the reforming reaction region.

A single crystal pulling apparatus (1) has a quartz crucible (2) for accommodating silicon melt (3), a graphite crucible (4) for retaining the quartz crucible (2), a tray (5) for securing and holding the graphite crucible (4) from below, and a crucible rotating shaft (6) for supporting the tray (5) from below and for elevating and lowering the tray (5) and the crucibles (2), (4) while rotating them. A low heat conductive member (10) is interposed on a joint surface between the tray (5) and the crucible rotating shaft (6). The low heat conductive member (10) is formed in a substantially tubular shape, and is interposed in such a manner that a protruding portion of the crucible rotating shaft (6) is inserted through a center hole of the low heat conductive member (10). Thereby, a gap portion (11) is formed below a bottom portion of the tray (5).

In a data management apparatus (1) including a recording device (12) for recording contents data and a data processing section for processing the contents data, first management data for managing the contents data according to a first reference is recorded in the recording device (12), and the data processing section reproduces the contents data based on the first management data, and transfers the contents data to an external device (2) based on second management data which is used for management of the contents data by the external device according to a second reference different from the first reference. As a result, the protection of the contents data can be made while complying with related laws, and the contents data with optional functions added thereto can be backed up.

A low dielectric constant film/wiring line stack structure made up of a stack of low dielectric constant films and wiring lines is provided in a region on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate except for the peripheral part of this surface. The peripheral side surface of the low dielectric constant film/wiring line stack structure is covered with a sealing film. This provides a structure in which the low dielectric constant films do not easily come off. In this case, a lower protective film is provided on the lower surface of a silicon substrate to protect this lower surface against cracks.
