  • Publication number: 20150277106
    Abstract: The MEMS device includes MEMS units and a circuit board. Each MEMS unit includes a substrate, a movable part with a movable electrode, a driving electrode, a diagnosis electrode, a plurality of through electrodes, and a plurality of MEMS side electrical contacts. The circuit board includes a plurality of circuit side electrical contacts, a drive circuit that is connected electrically with the driving electrode and the movable electrode through the circuit side electrical contact, the MEMS side electrical contact, and the through electrode, and a diagnosis circuit that is connected electrically with the diagnosis electrode and the movable electrode through the circuit side electrical contact, the MEMS side electrical contact, and the through electrode. The diagnosis electrodes of at least two MEMS units are connected electrically with each other, and are connected to a same MEMS side electrical contact through a same through electrode.

  • Publication number: 20080236627
    Abstract: A method for cleaning a web-like object to be cleaned, comprising the steps of: a cleaning solution spraying step for spraying a cleaning solution to a surface of a fed web-like object to be cleaned; and a cleaning solution removing step for removing the liquid film left on the surface of the object to be cleaned by ejecting a gas so that at least an ejected gas flow is formed in a direction opposite to the feeding direction of the object to be cleaned, wherein among the air induced by the gas ejection, the air induced from the side of the cleaning solution spraying position to the side of the gas ejection position is shielded.
