Abstract: A gold wire, for semiconductor element connection, having 5-100 ppm by weight of Ca, 5-100 ppm by weight of Gd, and 1-100 ppm by weight of Y. The gold wire further preferably has 1-100 ppm by weight of at least one of Eu, La, Ce and Lu, as well as 1-100 ppm by weight of at least one of Mg and Ti. The total amount of the added elements being no greater than 200 ppm by weight. The balance being gold and unavoidable impurities. A semiconductor element connection method by ball bonding or bump connection using the gold wire.

Abstract: A gold wire, for semiconductor element connection, consisting of 5-100 ppm by weight of Ca, 5-100 ppm by weight of Gd, 1-100 ppm by weight of Y and preferably 1-100 ppm by weight of at least one from among rare earth elements other than Y, as well as 1-100 ppm by weight of at least one from among Mg, Ti and Pb, the total amount of these elements being no greater than 200 ppm by weight, the balance being gold and unavoidable impurities. A semiconductor element connection method by ball bonding or bump connection using the gold wire.

Abstract: A new and useful computer system facilitates simplification of computer programs establishing a dedicated computer system adapted to a specific task, and makes it easy to program and to modify already established programs. The simple and easy method for establishing an application adapted dedicated computer system, operable on a plurality of data items for performing a plurality of functional processes for the data items, comprises the steps of establishing a plurality of program segments, each of to is exclusively assigned for one of the data items and has process content exclusively corresponding to one of the functional processes, and establishing a governing program for establishing systematic interrelationships between the program segments for performing a sequence of processes adapted to the dedicated application.

Abstract: The sensor disclosed attaches to the neck of a hunting dog for determining its physical behavior thereof. It includes a sensor proper having a movable ball confined in a closed space. A voltage producing device at least partly defines the walls of the closed space. A gate circuit is electrically connected with the voltage producing device. Further, a discriminating signal generator is electrically connected with the voltage producing device so the dog's master can determine the dog's behavior.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing dehydrated fruit used as an additive to powdered instant food which comprises covering preliminarily dried fruit with granulated sugar, flattening the fruit under pressure and dehydrating it until the dissolved sugar again solidifies.
