Abstract: A solid state imaging device includes a transparent insulation film. The insulation film is laminated on transfer electrodes over the power supply lines. A transparent protection film, which has a refractive index that is greater than that of the insulation film, is laminated on the insulation film. The transparent insulation film has portions above the channels in which the thickness continuously increases from the center of adjacent channels to the associated channel separating region.

Abstract: A method of treating a trichlorotrifluoroethane containing waste gas. The trichlorotrifluoroethane waste gas is contacted at atmospheric pressure or under pressurized conditions with at least one absorber selected from the group consisting of saturated mineral oils, alkyl dipheny ether based oils, silicone oils, trichlorotrifluoroethane based oils, and perfluoropolyether based oils, having a vapor pressure of not higher than 7.6.times.10.sub.2 mmHg at 25.degree. C. and a viscosity of not higher than 500 cp at 25.degree. C., to remove trichlorotrifluoroethane contained in the waste gas by absorbing, and depressurizing the absorber having absorbed therein trichlorotrifluoroethane to recover trichlorotrifluoroethane.

Abstract: An automobile rear upper body structure including a roof panel formed with a longitudinally extending recessed groove along each side edge portion, a rear header extends along the rear edge of the roof panel and connected thereto. The rear header is also connected with a rear pillar inner panel. There is provided a corner reinforcement having one side edge connected with the rear pillar inner panel and the other side edge connected with the rear header. The corner reinforcement is of a convex configuration with the crest portion welded to the recessed groove of the roof panel.
