An information processing apparatus includes first, second and third upper electrodes provided on a first substrate, and first, second and third lower electrodes provided on a second substrate opposed to the first, second and third upper electrodes, respectively. Also provided are first, second and third detectors for detecting a first capacitance between the first upper and lower electrodes, a second capacitance between the second upper and lower electrodes and a third capacitance between the third upper and lower electrodes. In addition, the apparatus also includes a first driver for moving the first and second substrates relative to each other in a first direction with respect to the substrate surfaces, a second driver for moving the first and second substrates relative to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a third driver for rotating the first and second substrates relative to each other about an axis in a third direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, and a control unit.
摘要:
In an apparatus including a recording medium on which a multiplicity of information bit lines are formed and a probe facing the recording medium, the displacement between the center of the information bit line and the locus of the probe is detected at the time of relatively moving the probe along the information bit line. Tracking is performed in such a manner that the probe scans the center of the information bit line in accordance with the detection results.

In an information processing apparatus which records and reproduces information by rotating a cylindrical recording medium on the basis of the principles of a scanning type tunnel microscope, the speed of the probe relative to that of the recording medium becomes fixed, and resonance and a decrease in an S/N ratio of reproduced signals during high-speed scanning can be prevented. Thus, information processing at a large capacity and high-speed response with a high degree of accuracy is made possible. An information processing system that records and reproduces information on the basis of the principles of a scanning type tunneling or an atomic force microscope employs a ferroelectric layer in the recording medium to simplify and improve reproduction. The recording medium may include a rotating cylindrical medium wherein the speed of the probe is fixed relative to that of the cylindrical medium to prevent resonance and to decrease the signal-to-noise ratio of reproduced signals during high speed scanning. Large capacity, accurate and high speed information processing is thereby obtained.

A probe for reading an information from an object and/or inputting an information to an object is disclosed. The probe has a supporting member and a rod-shaped projection of which the end is positioned opposed to the object for information reading therefrom and/or information input thereto. The rod-shaped projection protrudes from a partial area of the supporting member. The information reading from the object and/or information input to the object is effected at the longitudinal end of the probe. The probe provides precise and accurate output and/or input of information regardless of the surface state of the object.

An apparatus for producing monomolecular films or monomolecular built-up films includes: a trough for accommodating a liquid over the surface of which a monomolecular film is to be spread; a barrier band for defining a region in the trough over which the monomolecular film is allowed to be spread; and a plurality of supports for holding the barrier band within the trough, the supports being arranged at positions where they do not interfere with the surface of the liquid, wherein the loss of the monomolecular film material can be substantially reduced. Further, no local collapse of the molecular film occurs in the vicinity of the supports, thereby making it possible to always provide a uniform LB film.

A cantilever type probe comprises a cantilever-shaped displacement element and a tip which displacement element has a first electrode layer, a first piezoelectric material film and a second piezoelectric material film which films are laminated on opposite sides of the first electrode layer, and a second electrode layer and a third electrode layer which layer are laminated on outer surfaces of the piezoelectric material films, and which tip is connected with a leader electrode located at a free end of the surface of the displacement element; wherein in the width direction of the cantilever both ends of the first electrode layer protrude outward more than each end of the second and third electrode layers. A scanning tunneling microscope comprises the cantilever type probe, a driving means for displacing the probe, a stage for specimen so as to approach and locate the specimen to the tip, and a potential applying means for applying a bias voltage between the tip and the specimen. An information processing apparatus further comprises a second potential applying means for applying a pulse and bias voltage between the tip and the recording medium; wherein an information is written on the recording medium and an information in the recording medium is read out by electric current flowing between the tip and the recording medium.
