Abstract: An RF generating device 2, which attenuates harmonics in RF power amplified by an RF amplifier and supplied to plasma generating electrodes, includes an RF generation unit 201 that generates a composite wave by combining a fundamental wave with a compensation wave which is made by inverting a phase of a harmonic generated by inputting the fundamental wave.

Abstract: A device includes a microwave generator configured to generate a microwave having a bandwidth, an output unit, a directional coupler and a measurer. The microwave generator generates a microwave a power of which is pulse-modulated to be a High level and a Low level. A set carrier pitch is set to satisfy a preset condition. The preset condition includes a condition that a value obtained by dividing a set pulse frequency by the set carrier pitch or a value obtained by dividing the set carrier pitch by the set pulse frequency is not an integer and a condition that an ON-time of the High level is equal to or larger than 50%. The microwave generator averages a first High measurement value and a first Low measurement value in a preset moving average time longer than a sum of the ON-time of the High level at a preset sampling interval.

Abstract: A blood circuit connector includes: a main body having a cylindrical shape and provided with a first opening end and a second opening end; a plug having a bottomed cylindrical shape and detachably attached to the first opening end; and a connection part configured to connect the main body and the plug. The plug includes a side wall loosely fitted to an outer circumferential surface of the first opening end. The connection part includes a curved part expanding in a direction away from the main body. In a state where the plug is attached to the first opening, the curved part is pushed in a direction approaching the outer circumferential surface of the main body such that the curved part extends, thereby cancelling a loosely fitted state between the side wall and the outer circumferential surface, so as to remove the plug from the first opening end.

Abstract: In an inspection device, an inspection light projector and an auxiliary light emitter respectively project an inspection light and auxiliary light onto a position of a filmstrip. After transmitting the filmstrip, the inspection light is received by a defect detector. When receiving the inspection light, the defect detector generates a data signal and sends it to a controller. In the controller, a threshold of a level of the data signal is memorized, and the level of the data signal is compared with the threshold. If the level of the data signal becomes under the threshold, the controller determines that the filmstrip has a coloring defect. Further, if there is a dust on the filmstrip, the level of the data signal becomes higher. Because the auxiliary light is diffused by the dust, and a part of the auxiliary light is received by the defect detector.

Abstract: A yarn, cloth, woven fabric, knitted fabric or nonwoven fabric composed of natural cellulose fibers, each fiber having incorporated therein a water-insoluble inorganic metal compound, and each fiber having at least one cured polycarboxylic acid combined therewith, said polycarboxylic acid being one selected from the group consisting of polycarboxylic acids and partial salts thereof, and a process for preparing the same.

Abstract: This invention provides a toner composed of associated particles of secondary particles comprising primary particles of a polymer having an acidic or basic polar group and particles of a coloring agent and optionally a charge controlling agent and a process for producing the toner. Preferably, the contacting portions among the secondary particles are at least partly melt-adhered by film formation. The toner of the invention has excellent advantages. It has a much higher resolution than conventional products. It has excellent chargeability and causes hardly any occurrence of fogging.
