A chemical mechanical polishing aqueous dispersion is used to polish a polishing target that includes an interconnect layer that contains tungsten. The chemical mechanical polishing aqueous dispersion includes: (A) a cationic water-soluble polymer; (B) an iron (III) compound; and (C) colloidal silica particles. The content (MA) (mass %) of the cationic water-soluble polymer (A) and the content (MB) (mass %) of the iron (III) compound (B) satisfy the relationship “MA/MB=0.004 to 0.1”. The chemical mechanical polishing aqueous dispersion has a pH of 1 to 3.

A liquid jet recording head such as an ink jet recording head has liquid passages having liquid outlets through which a recording liquid is discharged in the form of jet of droplet, and electro-thermal transducers for generating heat which produce energy for discharging the liquid in response to inputted electric signals. The electro-thermal transducer has a heat-generating resistance layer which is made of an amorphous material containing halogen atoms and hydrogen atoms in a matrix of carbon atoms. Disclosed also is a recording system incorporating this recording head. The amorphous material can further contain silicon atoms and/or germanium atoms.

A data transfer circuit or a recording apparatus includes an address setting unit for setting a start address for a buffer memory, an offset setting unit for setting an offset for the buffer memory, and an address creating unit for creating a predetermined number of consecutive transfer addresses to be supplied for the buffer memory using a reference address. The circuit also includes an arithmetic logic unit that, after the address creating unit has created transfer addresses using the start address as a reference address, calculates a new reference address in accordance with the offset relative to the start address so as to provide the new reference address to the address creating unit.

A liquid jet recording head includes a plurality of ejection outlets through which droplets of liquid are ejected by thermal energy, a plurality of liquid passages communicating with the ejection outlets to supply the liquid, a plurality of supply inlets for supplying the liquid to the passages and a plurality of electro-thermal transducers provided for the respective ejection outlets to produce the thermal energy. Each of the electro-thermal transducers has a heating surface, on the bottom of a corresponding passage, for heating the liquid, and the width of each passage measured in the direction in which the passages are arranged is a maximum at a position between an end of the electro-thermal transducer element near the ejection outlet and an end thereof near the supply inlet, and the width decreases both toward the ejection outlet and toward the supply inlet. This allows the bubble created in the passage by the transducer to expand freely and provides energy-efficient droplet ejection.
