An audio system for reproducing music data stored in a hierarchical format in one or more folders recorded on a memory includes a folder specifying unit for specifying one of the folders, a music data extracting unit for extracting music data stored in a lower-level folder under the folder that is specified by the folder specifying unit, and an audio processing unit for reproducing the music data that is extracted by the music data extracting unit.

Abstract: Photoresist compositions, which can attain high-accuracy etching without causing separation and flexible printed wiring boards prepared with the photoresist compositions are disclosed. In order to etch a polyimide precursor layer on a conductive circuit, a photoresist composition comprising a photopolymerizable organic material (A), a water-soluble resin (B) and an amino-group-containing resin (C) is applied on the surface of the polyimide precursor layer to form a photoresist layer. Then, the photoresist layer is patterned by a photolithographic process. The polyimide precursor layer is etched and the pattern of the photoresist layer is transferred to the polyimide precursor layer. The amino-group-containing resin (C) in the photoresist layer is combined with an acid anhydride in the polyimide precursor layer to attain good adhesion and high-accuracy etching without causing separation of the photoresist layer.

Abstract: An audio information display device for playing data recorded on a disc and for displaying information concerning the disc and tracks contained therein includes an artist information comparator/determinator. When the artist information comparator/determinator determines that a disc artist and a track artist are the same as each other, the track artist is not displayed. When it is determined that the disc artist differs from the track artist, and when it is determined that the current track artist is the same as the previous track artist, the track artist is not displayed. When scrolling information, only specific information is scrolled when a number-of-scrolls detector detects that the number of scrolls exceeds n times or when a user operates a scrolling-display switching key.

Abstract: A flexible printed circuit board that is intended to minimize curling is formed having a first polyimide-resin layer with a conductor pattern formed on one surface thereof and supporting that conductor pattern. A second polyimide-resin is formed on another surface of the conductor pattern and covers and protects the circuit of the conductor pattern. The polyimide-resin layers are chosen so that a difference between a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the first polyimide-resin layer and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the second polyimide-resin layer is 3×10−6/K or smaller.

Abstract: The present invention aims to obtain a flexible printed wiring board with good flatness. According to the present invention, a copper-clad film 3 is formed by applying a polyamic acid solution on one surface of a copper foil 2 and thermally contracting the polyamic acid layer la so that the other surface of the copper foil 2 may form a convex surface of a curling surface to form a polyimide film 1. A polyamic acid solution is applied on the other surface of the copper foil 2 of the copper-clad film 3, and then the polyamic acid layer 5a is thermally contracted to form a protective film 5, whereby a flexible printed wiring board 10 is obtained.

Abstract: A process for forming fine thick-film conductor patterns on a ceramic substrate which comprises the steps of forming grooves in a positive-working photoresist layer on the substrate by the photolithographic technology, filling the grooves with a conductive paste by squeezing with a squeegee, removing the photoresist layer by a wet process, and firing the remaining conductive paste pattern is improved. By the improvements, the conductive paste is squeezed into the grooves by the screen printing technique using a mask, and/or the solvent in the conducive paste consists essentially of one or more hydrocarbons, and/or the squeegee is made of a material having a flexural modulus in a range of 30-200 kgf/mm.sup.2. The formation of the grooves may be accomplished by laser beam machining; in this case a negative-working photoresist or any other soluble resin may be used to form the grooves therein.

Abstract: Low-firing glass ceramic green sheets useful in the production of glass ceramic multilayer substrates are prepared from a coarse raw powder material comprising a B.sub.2 O.sub.3 -containing glass powder. The coarse raw powder material is initially subjected to wet grinding, either in an alcohol-free organic solvent in the presence or absence of an organic binder, or in an alcohol-containing organic solvent in the presence of an organic binder, until the powder is comminuted to a particle size suitable for tape casting. The wet-ground powder is slurried with an organic solvent and an organic binder, and the slurry is cast into sheets. The resulting green sheets have improved elongation and can be punched to form fine through holes with a small pitch.

Abstract: A hermetic cap member of a casing for a semiconductor memory element is provided with a protection layer on a recessed surface facing the memory element. The protection layer is of at least one material which does not emit alpha particles and has a thickness sufficient to prevent alpha particles from being emitted from the cap member onto the memory element. Specifically, the protection layer may be a plate of a pertinent one of the following silicon of high purity, 42 alloy, or Kovar and is attached to the cap member by the use of an adhesive of glass frit. Alternatively, the protection layer may be made from a metallic paste of silver, silver-palladium, or gold-palladium by firing the same onto the cap member. The protection layer may also be magnesium oxide formed by the use of a plasma spray process. As a further alternative, the protection layer may consist of a plurality of materials.
