Abstract: An information recording medium comprises a silicon substrate, a silicon dioxide film formed on one principal surface of the semiconductor substrate and a silicon nitride film formed on the silicon dioxide film. A recording electrode stylus is moved relative to and along the surface of the silicon nitride film while applying a recording signal voltage between the stylus and substrate, thus causing charges corresponding to the recording signal voltage to be passed through the silicon dioxide film by the tunnel effect and stored in the silicon nitride film.

Abstract: A blood filter device has a housing including a frame, which is provided at opposite ends with an inlet and an outlet and extends in a plane containing a line connecting the inlet and outlet, and a pair of side plates extending on opposite sides of the frame and defining a filtering space together with the frame. The housing accommodates a filter support and a pair of flat filter elements disposed on opposite sides of the filter support such that each filter element defines together with the filter support a blood-exit space communicating with the outlet and also defines together with the associated side plate a blood-entering space communicating with the inlet. Between the filter support and inlet is provided a distributing and air trapping chamber communicating with the individual blood-entering spaces and defining a space to receive blood from the inlet to trap air contained in the blood and present in the filter device to prevent the air from reaching the filter elements.

Abstract: A method for selectively growing a liquid phase epitaxial layer on a semiconductor substrate comprises a first step of supplying a liquid phase epitaxial solution in a chamber of an upper body and supplying a semiconductor substrate on which is selectively coated an insulating layer in a recess in an under body, the upper surface of which constituting the bottom of said chamber; a second step of heating said semiconductor substrate and said solution to a predetermined temperature and sliding said upper body and said under body relative to each other so as to position said chamber above said recess, thereby effecting contact between said solution and said semiconductor substrate; a third step of effecting said sliding again so as to separate said recess and said chamber so that said solution remains on the regions of said semiconductor substrate surface on which said insulating layer is not coated; and a fourth step of cooling said solution and said semiconductor substrate at a constant cooling rate so as to g

Abstract: Disclosed is a blood filtering bag comprising a bag body provided with a blood inlet and a blood outlet, and a filter supported by a support member and dividing the bag body into two parts -- inlet side part and outlet side part. The support member is thermally fused to a peripheral portion of the bag body.
