This apparatus includes a cathode electrolysis reduction device for performing an electrolysis reduction treatment for the chromium film as a cathode by using a treatment solution containing chloride ions, and an acid dip device for dipping the chromium film into an acidic treatment solution after the electrolysis reduction treatment is performed by the cathode electrolysis reduction device.

Abstract: The diaphragm is supported by the frame at the outer edge thereof. The pair of terminal members is mounted on the frame, and a pair of lead wire drawn from the voice coil is fixed to the land portion of the terminal member for electrical continuity. Since the land portion is disposed on the upper side of the frame, fixation of the lead wire can be performed without turning the frame upside down. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the speaker and also prevents a breakage of the lead wire that conventionally happens when the frame is turned upside down. Further, this prevents the operator from touching the lead wire since no part of the lead wire is exposed outside the frame after the fixation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for creating a pattern with extremely high resolution on a workpiece, such as a pattern on a semiconductor chip. The apparatus comprises a source for emitting electromagnetic radiation in the EUV wavelength range, a spatial modulator (SLM) having a multitude of pixels, an electronic data processing and delivery system receiving a digital description of the pattern to be written, extracting from it a sequence of partial patterns, converting said partial patterns to modulator signals, and feeding said signals to the modulator, and a precision mechanical system for moving said workpiece and/or projection system relative to each other. It further comprises an electronic control system coordinating the movement of the workpiece, the feeding of the signals to the modulator and the intensity of the radiation, so that said pattern is stitched together from the partial images.

Abstract: A capacitor microphone includes a case having an end wall defining an opening for a sound hole, a capacitor portion comprising a diaphragm, a back plate and a spacer, the diaphragm opposing to the back plate via the spacer, the capacitor portion being accommodated in the case in such an manner as the diaphragm is placed on the side of the end wall, and a substrate accommodated in the case farther from the end wall than the capacitor portion, the substrate having an impedance conversion element mounted on a surface thereof facing the capacitor portion. A communicating opening is provided around the back plate in a position opposing to the impedance conversion element for communicating spaces on the front and back sides of the back plate. The communicating opening has a larger area than that of the top of the impedance conversion element to allow the spaces on both sides of the back plate to communicate with each other.

Abstract: Projections are formed on front and back surfaces, respectively, of a thin-plate-like protective film at its widthwise opposite ends. Each of the projections is generally trapezoidal as viewed from an end surface side of the thin-plate-like protective film. Even if the projections are misaligned with respect to the projections when the thin-plate-like protective film is wound around a reel, part of a crown portion of each of the inner projections on an exteriorly located part of the thin-plate-like protective film abuts, via the widthwise opposite ends of base film of the tape-like structure, against part of a crown portion of the corresponding outer projection on an interiorly located part of the thin-plate-like protective film. This hinders the widthwise opposite ends of base film of the tape-like structure from being wavily deformed.

Abstract: A contactor block is characterized by including a beam-like holder having an underside and a retreat portion formed on a side following the underside; and a contact sheet provided with a plurality of contactors at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the holder and disposed in the outer periphery of the holder so as to be located on the underside of the holder.

Abstract: A pair of lead wire drawn from a voice coil is fixed to a land portion of a pair of terminal member by thermo-compression bonding. The pair of terminal member is integrally formed with the frame by insert molding. The frame made of synthetic resin has a pair of circular holes on the back side of the land portion to expose the land portion to the back space of the frame. In thermo-compression bonding, a supporting jig is pressed against the back side of the land portion via the circular hole. Thereby, generated heat is immediately transmitted to the supporting jig, preventing melting part of the frame around the land portion. Pressing force of a thermo-compression jig is received by the supporting jig, preventing sinking of the land portion in the frame.
