Abstract: The impurity concentration in the oxide semiconductor film is reduced, and a highly reliability can be obtained.

Abstract: There have been cases where transistors formed using oxide semiconductors are inferior in reliability to transistors formed using amorphous silicon. Thus, in the present invention, a semiconductor device including a highly reliable transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor is manufactured. An oxide semiconductor film is deposited by a sputtering method, using a sputtering target including an oxide semiconductor having crystallinity, and in which the direction of the c-axis of a crystal is parallel to a normal vector of the top surface of the oxide semiconductor. The target is formed by mixing raw materials so that its composition ratio can obtain a crystal structure.

A control section specifies a voice recognition language corresponding to the voice on the basis of the voice data, specifies a nationality associated language corresponding to a nationality included in the character information, gives the display acceptance section, on the basis of the voice recognition language and the nationality associated language, instructions to perform a display, and gives the key issuing section, on the basis of the character information, the input the display acceptance section accepts, or an input the reading section accepts, instructions to issue the room key.

Abstract: An automatic payment machine includes an information reading section, an image reading section, a display acceptance section, a key issuing section, and a control section. The control section instructs the information reading section to read passport information. Upon acquiring the passport information via the information reading section, the control section verifies reservation information and instructs the key issuing section to issue a room key, based on the verification result. Upon failing to acquire the passport information via the information reading section, the control section instructs the display acceptance section to display a designation screen for performing an operation to acquire image data of a passport, acquires the image data, instructs the image reading section to perform character recognition on the image data and read character information, verifies the reservation information, and instructs the key issuing section to issue the room key, based on the verification result.

Abstract: A coin processing unit includes a control unit that causes a coin dispensing unit to dispense a prescribed number of coins in a plurality of times according to the total volume of the coins or the prescribed number of coins. Therefore, the coin processing unit is able to dispense a prescribed number of coins from the coin dispensing unit in a plurality of times according to the total volume of the coins or the prescribed number of coins. As a result, the coins dispensed from the coin dispensing unit to the coin transport unit are carried to an outlet port through the coin transport unit, without getting stuck in the coin transport unit, and are discharged to a coin receptacle.

Abstract: A coin processing apparatus includes a coin cup in front of the apparatus, where an operator operates the apparatus, a coin reception device on the front side in the apparatus, and a coin dispensing device behind the coin reception device. The rolling speed of a coin carried to the coin cup is reduced by a coin deceleration part, which prevents the coin from falling from the coin cup.

Abstract: An inner circle and outer periphery punching step is performed in which a punching process is performed on a plate material made of a metal material to form an outline on an outer periphery side and a circle space on an inner periphery side, thereby forming an intermediate plate material. In an inner periphery bending step, the intermediate plate material is subjected to a bending process of bending a portion inside of a base circle that is a circle between an inner circle end portion and an outer circle, toward one side. In an inner periphery punching step, the intermediate plate material is subjected to a punching process of punching out inner periphery radial portions that are portions radially extending from the inner circle end portion, to form inner periphery slits extending inside of the outer circle in respective radial pieces.
