Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a substrate with a metal body. This method provides excellent film-forming properties (reflectance and adhesion), is easy to be used on a large substrate, and can be carried out at a low cost. The method includes the steps of: (A) heating a complex to a first temperature so as to generate a vapor of the complex; and (B) contacting the vapor with a substrate heated to a second temperature that is not higher than the first temperature so as to form a metal body containing a central metal of the complex, either in uncombined form or as a compound thereof (exclusive of the complex), on at least part of a surface of the substrate. The second temperature in step (B) is lower than the decomposition temperature of the complex. The central metal of the complex is aluminum or titanium.

Abstract: A container containing a cobalt carbonyl complex and a gas that contains carbon monoxide, and a cobalt carbonyl complex composition comprising a cobalt carbonyl complex and a solvent, wherein the concentration of carbon monoxide dissolved in the solvent is 0.001 to 1 wt %. Since the cobalt carbonyl complex contained in the above container or the above composition can retain its sublimation properties for a long time without being converted into a stable complex, when a cobalt film is formed by chemical vapor deposition using the container and the composition, a high-quality film can be formed by a simple process, and the production cost of the cobalt film can be reduced due to high use efficiency of the precursor.

Abstract: A display control section (220c) of a television (1) causes a display unit (205) to simultaneously display (i) a recommended content panel (122a) corresponding to a recommended content extracted from a population consisting of programs on different channels in the same time slot and (ii) a recommended content panel (122b) corresponding to a recommended content extracted from a population consisting of future programs. This reduces a user's troublesome operation.

Abstract: A roll paper print unit 120 processes roll paper. A first interface 110 receives commands transmitted from a POS terminal 20. A second interface 115 transmits a command received by the first interface 110 to a printer 200 that performs a same process as the roll paper print unit 120. A control unit 150 controls processing by the roll paper print unit 120, and transmitting a command to the printer 200 through the second interface 115, based on the received command. When the received command is a preset command, the control unit 150 controls the second interface 115 to transmit the preset command to the printer 200.

Abstract: When a label printer detects the paper width, the paper width detection operation scans the transportation path in the paper width direction by the paper width detector not once but twice, and conveys the recording medium transportation distance L, which is longer than the gap length of the gap between labels and is shorter than the label length of each label, between the first and second paper width detection operations. Of the two positions detected as the left edge of the recording medium in the first and second detection operations, the position that is farthest left is used. Likewise, of the two positions detected as the right edge of the recording medium in the first and second detection operations, the position that is farthest right is used.
