Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a head unit having a plurality of nozzles ejecting an ink, the head unit including a filter provided with holes through which the ink can pass, a first nozzle row formed by the plurality of nozzles, and a second nozzle row formed by the plurality of nozzles, and a mounting portion on which the head unit is detachably mounted. The nozzles forming the second nozzle row communicate with the nozzles forming the first nozzle row via the filter. A pre-operation of forming gas-liquid interfaces in the holes provided in the filter is executed before the head unit is removed from the mounting portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of cleaning an optical film-thickness measuring system used for measuring a film thickness of a substrate, such as a wafer, while polishing the substrate. The method includes: cleaning an optical sensor head (7) by supplying a rinsing liquid into a through-hole (51) formed in a polishing pad (2) on a polishing table (3) before or after polishing of a substrate (W) with use of slurry, the optical sensor head (7) being located below the through-hole (51); and discharging the rinsing liquid from the through-hole (51) through a drain line (54).

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes an armrest having a body provided with a recessed portion recessed toward a widthwise inward direction of the seat in such a manner as to surround a shaft member, and a hook member attached to a distal end of the shaft member and fitted in the recessed portion. The hook member includes a presser portion for pressing a skin layer of the armrest with the skin layer gripped between the presser portion and the body of the armrest, a baggage engagement portion extending from the presser portion in a widthwise outward direction of the seat for hooking engagement with the baggage, and a flange portion located at a distal end of the baggage engagement portion and extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of the shaft member for preventing the baggage from displacing off the hook member.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a rotationally moving hook mechanism provided on a seat back, and a striker disposed in a rear of the seat back and fixed onto a vehicle body. The vehicle seat includes a left lock mechanism and a right lock mechanism which fix the seat back at an erection position, and a supporting bracket that is provided on the vehicle body to tiltably support the seat back. The striker and the supporting bracket are disposed on a rear side of each of a left side bolster and a right side bolster. An insertion hole, a fixing wire and a protruding portion are provided on the left side bolster and the right side bolster, and on the striker and the supporting bracket to determine positions of the left side bolster and the right side bolster and positions of the striker and the supporting bracket.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having an upwardly-foldable seat cushion that includes an engagement piece projecting from the rear end of the seat cushion and an under cover below the seat having an upper panel portion having an upwardly sloped surface. A forwardly-and-rearwardly extending guide groove formed in that upper panel portion which allows the engagement piece to be moved therein, without its contact with the upwardly sloped surface of the upper panel portion, when the rear end of the seat cushion is slidingly brought to a lower end of a set back. Ribs are formed in a bottom surface of the guide groove. The guide groove allows forward-and-rearward movement of the engagement piece therein, so that the engagement piece can be pressed against and frictionally engaged with the lower end of the seat back, without being caught by the upwardly sloped surface of the upper panel portion.
