Abstract: In a method for producing a multilayer printed wiring board, first and second copper foils for surface layer are disposed on both sides of an inner wiring substrate so that each of first and second prepreg sheets provided with through-holes is sandwiched between each of the copper foils for surface layer and each face of the substrate, the through-holes being formed therethrough at desired positions corresponding to positions where the connecting pads on each face of the substrate are formed, and the resulting structure is integrally bonded by applying heat and pressure thereto. During the heat- and pressure-processing step, the through-holes within the prepreg sheets are filled with a resin fused from the prepreg sheets. After selectively removing the copper foil for surface layer within an area which matches each of the connecting pads, the resin is selectively removed by the irradiation of laser beams to form via holes and allow the connecting pads to be exposed.

The position of the pin can be adjusted parallel to the direction of travel of the wire in the bushing.

Abstract: In order to enable measurement of insulation resistance values of a number of electronic parts such as chip capacitors with high accuracy and without the reducing measurement efficiency of characteristics, such as the capacitance, capacitance values of chip capacitors which are held by respective holding portions of a turntable are first measured in a capacitance measuring position during intermittent feeding of the turntable. When an insulation resistance measuring region is filled with those of the chip capacitors whose capacitance values have been measured the turntable is stopped. In this stopped state, a plurality of chip capacitors being located in the insulation resistance measuring region are simultaneously charged and subjected to the measurement of insulation resistance values.

Abstract: A block copy image is divided into several regions R1 and R6, to which different system colors are allocated. A subject region PR including a line break CP1 is specified by an operator. Run-length data of a run-length less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value is automatically detected out of various run-length data representing the subject region PR. White/black designation data defining the color of an image in the run-length data is changed into the color of a linework. The break CP1 in the linework is thus reconnected without operator's instruction. Alternatively, the subject region PR is divided into two portions. The two portions are further divided into separate areas to which different system colors are allocated. This enables an operator to easily detect the position of a line break because the linework elements separated by a break have different colors. The break is then reconnected according to operator's instruction.

Abstract: In order to eliminate any harmful influence due to electric field radiation on the human body, electric field radiation from a front surface of a cathode ray tube is reduced. A degaussing coil arranged in proximity to a peripheral edge of a front surface of a cathode ray tube is employed advantageously. The degaussing coil is supplied with a voltage which is opposite in polarity to an electric field radiated from the front surface of the cathode ray tube. The reverse polarity voltage is derived from an output signal obtained from an output signal of a horizontal deflection circuit by a flyback transformer and/or derived from a voltage obtained by phase-inverting an anode voltage fluctuating in vertical synchronization.
