Abstract: A leaf coater, in which a constant quantity of a coating solution is supplied intermittently from a coating solution supply source through a predetermined coating solution quantity intermittent supply means and a coating solution applying means to a blank substrate, for coating blank substrates one by one with the coating solution, characterized in that a coating solution filtration means is provided in the coating solution flow pipeline from said coating solution supply source to the coating solution applying means, and the Young's modulus of the filter medium in the coating solution filtration means is not less than 200 MPa, while the pore size of the filter medium is in the range of 0.05 &mgr;m to 100 &mgr;m; and a method for producing coated substrates using said leaf coater.

Abstract: A device for controlling multi-window display on a screen includes a screen-operation detecting unit which detects user screen operations including a user operation of a pointer on the screen. The device further includes a control unit which controls a window to increase an amount of information displayed therein when said screen-operation detecting unit detects a move of the pointer into an area of the window.

Abstract: A data processing system which provides increased reliability by properly managing a plurality of basic modules. System configuration data is a collection of information regarding basic modules constituting each target system. Compatibility data is compiled to keep statistics of past failures occurred in a target system, which maintains the following associated records: properties of failed basic modules, properties of their related modules, failure types, and failure counts. When a basic module is changed in a target system, the target system sends out a notification message. This message is received by a notification message parser and supplied to a system configuration manager via a hardware change manager. The system configuration manager first consults the system configuration data to identify the changed basic module and its related basic modules, and then retrieves information about compatibility of such basic modules by consulting the compatibility data.

Abstract: As shown in FIG. 1(a), a gate oxide film 12 is formed on an Si substrate 11. A polysilicon layer 13 is formed thereon. A natural oxide film 14 having an arbitrary thickness is formed on the polysilicon layer 13 after phosphorus is made to diffuse into the polysilicon layer 13 and before a resist layer is coated. Thus, as shown in FIG. 1(b), the natural oxide film 14 present on the polysilicon layer 13 is removed by DHF cleaning (cleaning with dilute HF). Thereafter, a resist layer 15 is coated onto the polysilicon layer 13, and is patterned. A polysilicon gate electrode G is formed by dry-etching using the resist layer 15 as a mask.

Abstract: In a bandwidth control service management apparatus of a network operated by a network offerer and a customer, an available bandwidth of a premium bandwidth control service demand, accepted from the customer, with a higher priority than a regular bandwidth control service of best effort type, is compared with an applied threshold value, accepted from a network offerer through a network interface 7 to determine an availability of the premium bandwidth control service. The result is notified to the customer through the customer interface 2, and the serviceable bandwidth manager 3 is provided which demands that the network should secure a bandwidth in order that the customer who has received the notification of a service permission can start the premium bandwidth control service when the premium bandwidth control service is determined to be available.

Abstract: A common mode inductor has a very small size and high reliability, and is constructed such that it can be inexpensively manufactured, and, when inserted to an electronic circuit, the dc resistance of the coils of the in-phase inductor has little or no effect on the electronic circuit. The common mode inductor has a laminated structure including at least four coils each having coil conductors and insulating sheets. The first and second coils are electrically connected in series so as to define a single coil. Consequently, the dc resistance value of this single coil is less than the dc resistance values of the third and fourth coils. The third and fourth coils are located between the first and second coils, in a stacking direction of the insulating sheets.

Abstract: An every course hose is produced by knitting substantially exclusively a covered elastic yarn into the leg portion knitting fabric thereof. A covering yarn is wound around an elastic yarn as the core yarn to form the covered elastic yarn. The covering yarn is constituted of a plurality of filaments made of a polyamide substantially free from titanium oxide and having a flat cross section with a flatness (b/a) (the ratio of the length b to the width a) of 2.0 to 6.0.

Abstract: A polyurethane polyamide self-crimping conjugate fiber having eccentric conjugate form, comprises a high hardness polyurethane having a Shore hardness D of 58 to 75 and a polyamide having a melting point of at least 200.degree. C., which has a excellent extension stress properties and excellent heat resistance. The conjugate fiber is suitable for hosiery products and tricot products, having excellent transparent of fabric and a high level of fitting properties.
