Abstract: The stability of a step of processing a wiring formed using copper, aluminum, gold, silver, molybdenum, or the like is increased. Moreover, the concentration of impurities in a semiconductor film is reduced. Moreover, the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device are improved. In a transistor including an oxide semiconductor film, an oxide film in contact with the oxide semiconductor film, and a pair of conductive films being in contact with the oxide film and including copper, aluminum, gold, silver, molybdenum, or the like, the oxide film has a plurality of crystal parts and has c-axis alignment in the crystal parts, and the c-axes are aligned in a direction parallel to a normal vector of a top surface of the oxide semiconductor film or the oxide film.

Abstract: A motion state monitoring system, a training support system, a motion state monitoring method, and a program capable of suitably managing measurement results according to an attaching direction of a sensor are provided. A motion state monitoring system according to the present disclosure monitors a motion state of a target part of a subject's body. The motion state monitoring system includes an acquisition unit, an attaching direction detection unit, and a control processing unit. The acquisition unit acquires sensing information of a sensor attached to the target part. The attaching direction detection unit detects an attaching direction of the sensor. The control processing unit outputs information related to the sensing information in association with the attaching direction.

Abstract: To provide a medium storing and advancing apparatus which orderly piles up bills even when not flat. The medium storing and advancing apparatus includes a tongue piece roller having tongue pieces having the length thereof predetermined. While the tongue piece roller is rotated to slap the rear end of a bill with the tongue pieces to orient the latter downward, the front end of a following bill is superimposed on the downward-oriented rear end of the preceding bill.

Abstract: A latent electrostatic image developing device for use in developing a latent electrostatic image to a toner image in an image forming machine. The device includes a developing roller within a development housing for holding a developer on its surface in a developer holding zone and conveying the developer, which is held to a developing zone, in order to apply it to a latent electrostatic image. A restricting portion has a blade which includes a rigid part for acting on the surface of the developing roller in a developer restricting zone located between the developer holding zone and the developing zone in order to restrict the amount of the developer held on the surface. The blade is caused to protrude to the upstream side as viewed in the direction of movement of the developing roller, and that border of its protrusion facing the developing roller is provided with a C 0.1 to 0.6 mm chamfer (C being the JIS designation for a 45 degree chamfer).

Abstract: An apparatus for developing an electrostatic latent image includes a developing agent application device which holds the developing agent on the surface thereof in the developing agent-holding zone, and conveys the thus held developing agent into a developing zone to apply it onto the electrostatic latent image. A limiting device is included for limiting the amount of the developing agent held on the surface of the developing agent application device in a developing agent limiting zone located between the developing agent holding zone and the developing zone. The limiting device includes a blade made of a rigid member that is brought into forced contact with the surface of the developing agent application device, a blade support device for supporting the blade in a manner such that a first surface thereof is forced into contact with the surface of the developing agent application device, and a resilient urging device which is disposed on a side of a second surface of the blade.
