Abstract:
A recording and reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on a recording medium concurrently while recording the information, includes a compression section, a temporary storage section, a reproducing process section, and a storage section. The compression section reads the information recorded on the recording medium and compresses read information. The temporary storage section stores compressed information provided by the compression process. The reproducing process section decompresses the compressed information output thereto from the temporary storage section and reproduces decompressed information. The storage section stores the compressed information output thereto from the temporary storage section.
Abstract:
A valve drive device which can prevent a locknut fixing a stem nut to a drive sleeve from getting loosened. The valve drive device comprises: the stem nut for screwing a valve stem thereinto; the drive sleeve engaging with a male spline formed on a peripheral outer surface of said stem nut, said drive sleeve including a worm gear on a peripheral outer surface thereof; a worm in meshing engagement with said worm gear; and a housing that supports said drive sleeve by bearings. The valve drive device further comprises: a stem nut fastening member having a first male screw that engages with a female screw provided on a peripheral inner surface of said drive sleeve; and a locknut that engages with a second male screw provided on a reduced diameter portion of said stem nut fastening member, said second male screw having a reverse screw thread relative to said first male screw, so that no slack may arise between said stem nut fastening member and said drive sleeve.
Abstract:
In this manufacturing method of a semiconductor device, after a sealing film is applied over an entire surface of a semiconductor wafer and hardened, a second groove for forming a side-section protective film is formed in the sealing film and on the top surface side of the semiconductor wafer. In other words, the sealing film is formed in a state where a groove that causes strength reduction has not been formed on the top surface side of the semiconductor wafer. Since the second groove is formed on the top surface side of the semiconductor wafer after the sealing film is formed, the semiconductor wafer is less likely to warp when the sealing film, made of liquid resin, is hardened.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate and low dielectric film wiring line laminated structure portions which are provided in regions on the semiconductor substrate except a peripheral portion thereof. Each of the laminated structure portions has a laminated structure of low dielectric films and a plurality of wiring lines. An insulating film is provided on an upper side of the laminated structure portion. Connection pad portions for electrodes are arranged on the insulating film to be electrically connected to the connection pad portions of uppermost wiring lines of the laminated structure portion. Bump electrodes for external connection are provided on the connection pad portions for the electrodes. A sealing film is provided on the insulating film and on the peripheral portion of the semiconductor substrate. Side surfaces of the laminated structure portions are covered with the insulating film or the sealing film.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes at least one semiconductor constructing body provided on one side of a base member, and having a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of external connecting electrodes provided on the semiconductor substrate. An insulating layer is provided on the one side of the base member around the semiconductor constructing body. An adhesion increasing film is formed between the insulating layer, and at least one of the semiconductor constructing body and the base member around the semiconductor constructing body, for preventing peeling between the insulating layer and the at least one of the semiconductor constructing body and base member.

Abstract:
An information reproduction and recording apparatus able to prevent invalid data not required for recording from being recorded on a recording medium when transferring reproduced information by a small number of signal lines such as a three-line serial peripheral interface, wherein a music data reproducing unit outputs a data signal DATA and clock signals LRCK and BCK to a valid recording period control unit and outputs a SPACE signal to the valid recording period control unit while outputting music data containing track interval data, the signals are transferred to a high speed encoder and the data signal DATA is encoded and recorded on a hard disk by an HDD based on the clock signals LRCK and BCK while the SPACE signal is being output, and the valid recording period control unit suspends transfer of the clock signal LRCK and prevents recording of invalid data on the hard disk while the SPACE signal is not being output.
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to obtain a carbon-monoxide removing technique capable of very effectively reducing/removing carbon monoxide present at one thousand of ppm to several % in a hydrogen-rich treatment-object gas such as a reformed gas obtained by reforming of a fuel such as natural gas, methanol, etc. to a concentration of several tens of ppm (preferably 10 ppm) or lower without excessive loss of hydrogen, even when carbon dioxide, methane are co-existent For accomplishing this object, there are provided two stages of CO removers for removing carbon monoxide from a hydrogen-containing treatment-object gas, the first-stage CO remover removing a portion of the carbon monoxide by methanation thereof through a catalyst reaction, the second-stage CO remover removing the remaining portion of the carbon monoxide mainly by oxidation thereof through a further catalyst reaction involving addition of an oxidizing agent.
Abstract:
An image reading apparatus has a reader to read document images and has a stationary image reading position. A transporter transports a document at constant speed onto the image reading position. The transporter includes a guide member and a transport member. The guide member guides document transport and is provided adjacent to the upstream side of the document reading position in the direction of document transport by the transporter. The transport member transports a document with gripping between the guide member and itself. The transport member is provided above the guide member.
Abstract:
A method of cleaning metallic films built up within a thin film deposition apparatus is disclosed. The method includes an oxidation step to oxidize the metallic film and produce a film of the oxide thereof, a complexing step to complex the oxide film and produce a complex thereof, and a sublimation step to sublimate the complex. The conditions of these cleaning steps are set so that the oxidation step is the rate-determining step.
