Abstract: A freshness-keeping device comprising an adsorbent absorbed with a freshness-keeping liquid, and a film cover made of a material having a high impermeability to gas of the freshness-keeping liquid, which has larger dimensions than the adsorbent to cover the adsorbent from the outside, wherein the cover has a skirt portion extending in a lateral direction of the adsorbent and a dispersing opening is formed at the skirt portion to permit the freshness-keeping liquid to gradually disperse outwardly from the adsorbent, wherein a layer having a function of adsorbing and diffusing a liquid adhered to the surface of the film into the inside, is provided on both or one of the surfaces in contact with the adsorbent, of the upper and lower films constituting the skirt portions.

Abstract: A lower guillotine cutter blade (2) is mounted to a frame (1). A guillotine cutter-blade holder (3) holds an upper guillotine cutter blade (4) and vertically reciprocates with respect to the lower guillotine cutter blade (2). Rods (6) are vertically slidably mounted to the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3). A pressing plate (5) is secured to the lower ends of the rods (6). Springs (7) are fitted around the rods (6) between the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3) and the pressing plate (5) for downwardly elastically biasing the rods (6) so that the heads (6a) of the rods are kept abutted against the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3). In a cutting operation, after the pressing plate (5) is brought into abutment with a batch of paper (20), the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3) is further downwardly moved, thereby causing the lower and upper guillotine cutter blades (2 and 4) to cut the batch of paper (20) and also causing the heads (6a) to upwardly protrude from the guillotine cutter-blade holder (3).

Abstract: In an error analysis step, analysis of an antenna effect error, a timing constraint violation and the like is performed for layout data in which redundant via conversion has been performed. Then, whether or not an error exists is judged and, among redundant vias located on a signal line in which a design constraint violation has occurred, how many vias have to be converted to single vias, respectively, to avoid the design constraint violation is calculated. In a via conversion step, a redundant via which has caused an error is converted to a single via, based on a result of the calculation. Thus, a design constraint violation regarding an error such as an antenna effect error and a timing constraint violation caused by a redundant via obtained by converting a single via for improving yield hardly occurs.

Abstract: An all optics type semiconductor image storage apparatus includes a superlative semiconductor device. The superlattice semiconductor device includes a superlattice layer which is formed by alternately laminating a barrier layer and a quantum well layer. The superlattice layer is interposed between two carrier confinement layers, one of which is formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. The superlattice semiconductor device has an effect of modulating a light absorbance in the vicinity of an absorption edge by canceling an internal electric field generated by a piezoelectric effect. This piezoelectric effect is due to a distortion occurring when the superlattice layer is formed. An image is stored so that, light incident into the superlattice semiconductor device at a first stable point is substantially transmitted, while light incident into the device at a second stable point is prevented from being substantially transmitted.
