Abstract: The waterproof relay connector for connecting a lead wire includes a connector housing having a lead wire insertion hole, and lead wire retaining means for retaining the lead wire inserted in the lead wire insertion hole, an elastic portion having a through hole extending along the lead wire insertion hole, and a terminal for connection to the lead wire are provided in the connector housing. The lead wire is passed through the through hole in the elastic portion, and a conductor of the lead wire is resiliently connected to the terminal, so that a seal is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the through hole in the elastic portion and an outer peripheral surface of a covering portion of the lead wire.

Abstract: A photomask substrate, which is formed in a rectangular shape and on the surface of which photoresist is applied, is located above a lower heating plate so as to be separated from the lower heating plate by a proximity distance. The lower heating plate is provided with a heat unifying ring fixedly arranged thereon so as to surround the photomask substrate. The periphery of the heat unifying ring is provided with a taper section tapered at a predetermined angle to the periphery. The heat unifying ring has a container for containing the photomask substrate, at the central portion. An upper heating plate is arranged above the lower heating plate. The upper heating plate is provided with a baking chamber thereabove to cover the entire portion of the baking chamber section, thereby the baking chamber section can be shielded from the outside and free from the influence of the outside.

Abstract: A method for detecting an endpoint of development including the steps of; forming a resist layer on a conductive layer formed on a substrate; exposing the resist layer by using light, X-rays, or electron beams; forming one electrode by connecting a connector consisting of a first conductive material to the conductive layer through the exposed resist layer on the substrate; forming another electrode by dipping an assembly consisting of a second conductive material into a developing solution; and developing the exposed resist layer while monitoring the current flowing between two electrodes.

Abstract: An appliance for adhering a sensing marker on a medium for recording information, such as a magnetic tape, comprising a case, removing rotor, and a guide way. The case has a cavity formed therein where the removing rotor is pivotally supported. The removing rotor also has a cavity therein where a marker roll is accommodated which is commercially available and which includes a backing liner and a plurality of pre-cut sensing markers adhered on the backing liner. The removing rotor has a station which is formed in a flat surface for receiving the backing liner withdrawn from the marker roll. An arc surface and a radial step are also provided with the removing roller. A location is formed on the case so that the magnetic tape is positioned there. A transfer block which has a rectangular shape is formed at the bottom thereof. Soft material which has a tendency to stick to the sensing marker is positioned on the block.

Abstract: A selection system for an information processing system wherein a unit, such as a magnetic tape unit, is shared by a plurality of control units. At least first and second signal lines are connected between each control unit at a driver circuit and a receiver circuit pair. The two signal lines connected between each control unit correspond to a single shared unit, and each control unit provides a driver circuit and a receiver circuit connected so as to transmit and receive signals carried on each line. Each line is connected to a separate driver circuit and receiver circuit at each control units. A block signal is transmitted from one of the control units through a first signal line to the other control units to prevent them from starting their operation for accessing the shared unit, and selection signals are transmitted from possible plurality of started control units through the second signal line at different timings to thereby determine priority of the started control units for accessing the shared unit.
