A drinking water dispenser according to the present invention functions to supply drinking water from a detachable water container. The drinking water dispenser includes a hot water tank, a chilled water tank, a supply pipe and a sterilization system. The hot water tank heats and stores the drinking water supplied from the water container. The supply pipe connects the water container with the hot water tank and the chilled water tank. The sterilization system sterilizes the tanks and the supply pipe by circulating hot water from the hot water tank among them. The dispenser is also sterilized because of its including a special 3 way connector between the detachable container and tanks which allows connector and container to be housed in a refrigerator, thus separating critical system components from warmer outside air and thus suppressing invasion and growth of microbes.

The invention provides an ink that inhibits lowering of ejection stability caused by a precipitate derived from a self-dispersible type monoazo pigment and also inhibits deterioration of a liquid contact surface of a heater portion of a recording head. The ink is an ink for ink jet recording system employing an thermal energy, containing a monoazo pigment, a resin and a surfactant represented by the following formula (1). A proportion of a molecular weight of an ethylene oxide group moiety occupying the surfactant is 10% or more and 85% or less, the monoazo pigment is a self-dispersible pigment to the particle surface of which at least one hydrophilic group selected from the group consisting of —COOM, —SO3M, —PO3HM and —PO3M2 is bonded directly or through another atomic group, and the acid value of the resin is 240 mg KOH/g or less.

In a perpendicular magnetic recording head comprising a main magnetic pole layer and a return yoke layer which have respective front end faces exposed at a surface opposing a recording medium and are laminated with a nonmagnetic material layer interposed therebetween on the medium-opposing surface, an end magnetization control layer for generating an exchange-coupling field is provided on the upper or lower side of both end parts in a track width direction of the return yoke layer. The exchange-coupling field fixes magnetization in the end parts to the track width direction.

An electric parking brake system includes an electric parking brake mechanism that includes a brake which suppresses rotation of a wheel and an electric motor which applies or releases the brake, and that maintains a vehicle at a standstill while the brake is applied. A parking switch selectively outputs an application command for applying the brake and a release command for releasing the brake in response to an operation of an operating portion for the parking switch. A parking switch malfunction determination unit determines whether the parking switch malfunctions, and a parking brake automatic control unit automatically applies the brake by operating the electric motor when an ignition switch of the vehicle is turned off in response to an operation of an operating portion for the ignition switch, in a case where the parking switch malfunction determination unit determines that the parking switch malfunctions.

An ink jet ink contains at least a coloring material and a specific water-soluble organic solvent and has both excellent color developability and excellent humidity resistance. The coloring material exhibits a small (9 or less) color difference ΔE value which is determined by a method including a series of specific steps and is represented as the square root of (L1-L2)2+(a1-a2)2+(b1-b2)2. The specific water-soluble organic solvent has an evaporation rate X smaller than that of water and a moisture absorptivity Y, the values of X and Y satisfying the relation of Y≦2.8X+10. The content of the specific water-soluble organic solvent is 50 mass % or more of the total amount of water-soluble organic solvents contained in the ink.
摘要:
P wells (11, 12) having different impurity profiles are adjacently formed in a surface (50S) of a semiconductor substrate (50). A P-type layer (20) having lower resistivity than the P wells (11, 12) is formed in the surface (50S) across the P wells (11, 12), so that the P wells (11, 12) are electrically connected with each other through the P-type layer (20). Contacts (31, 32) fill in contact holes (70H1, 70H2) formed in an interlayer isolation film (70) respectively in contact with the P-type layer (20). The contacts (31, 32) are connected to a wire (40). The wire (70) is connected to a prescribed potential, thereby fixing the P wells (11, 12) to prescribed potentials through the contacts (31, 32) and the P-type layer (20). Thus, the potentials of the wells can be stably fixed and the layout area of elements for fixing the aforementioned potentials can be reduced.

An object of the invention is to suppress degradation of the effective isolation width between a well and a diffusion layer caused by impurity ion implantation for forming the well performed at a predetermined incident angle. A well is formed by performing impurity ion implantation twice: first impurity ion implantation from a first direction at predetermined incident angle, acceleration voltage and dose; and second impurity ion implantation from a second direction different from the first direction by 180 degrees in a plan view at the same incident angle, acceleration voltage and dose as those in the first impurity ion implantation.
