Abstract: A manufacturing method of an epitaxial silicon wafer, using an epitaxial growth apparatus including a susceptor and a heat ring, includes: determining a surface position of a silicon wafer to be higher than a surface position of a peripheral portion of the susceptor and to be lower than a surface position of the heat ring; and adjusting a gap between the surface position of the silicon wafer and the surface position of the heat ring to control a difference between a film thickness of the epitaxial layer formed on a peripheral portion in a <110> orientation of the silicon wafer and a film thickness of the epitaxial layer formed on the peripheral portion in a <100> orientation of the silicon wafer.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a technique for even more firmly joining metal threads of a metal fabric together. A sheet member is formed from a metal fabric that is woven from metal warp threads and metal weft threads such that the metal warp threads and the metal weft threads alternately cross each other, the metal warp threads and the metal weft threads individually including a linear metal strand made of a metal and a coating portion that covers a circumference of the metal strand. The sheet member includes a welded portion where the coating portions of the metal warp threads and the coating portions of the metal weft threads are joined together at crossing portions of the metal warp threads and the metal weft threads.

Abstract: If the diving mode is erroneously entered while travelling at a high altitude, such as when flying in an airplane, the error is detected so that calculating tissue in/out-gassing of inert gases continues. The control unit 50 of the dive computer records the water depth corresponding to the pressure measured by the depth measuring unit 61 together with the elapsed time, determines if the user is moving in a low pressure region based on water entry detection by a water entry detection unit and the depth detected by the depth measuring unit 61, and if the user is determined to be travelling in a low pressure region cancels measuring the water depth, cancels the wrongly selected operating mode, and changes from the operating mode used when diving to an operating used when not diving.

Abstract: An information processing device for a diver used for diving by using a plurality of mixed gases in which the mixture ratios of a plurality of diving gases are the same or different determines the switch timing of the mixed gas on the basis of a preset scheduled dive pattern and an actual dive pattern up to present. A notification is issued regarding the switch timing and information for specifying the mixed gas to which a switch is to be made based on this switch timing. When the diver selects one of the cylinders as the cylinder to which the switch is to be made and in which the mixture ratio of the diving gas is different, processing is carried out that prohibits switching to the selected cylinder when it is determined that the selected cylinder may create a danger of oxygen deficiency or oxygen poisoning.
