Abstract: To provide a technique of firmly bringing a stylus and a test pad into contact with each other in carrying out a probe testing summarizingly for plural chips by using a prober having the stylus formed by a technique of manufacturing a semiconductor integrated circuit device, plane patterns of respective wirings are formed such that a wiring and a wiring electrically connected to the wiring or a wiring which is not electrically connected to the wiring overlap each other, and a plane pattern arranged with both of the wiring and the wiring is constituted at upper portions of probes. Further, patterns of the wirings are formed such that an interval of arranging the wirings and a density of arranging the wirings become uniform at respective wiring layers in a thin film sheet.

Abstract: A curable composition comprising (A) an organic polymer having a reactive silicon-containing group, and (B) a block copolymer containing in its molecule one soft segment and at least one hard segment having structural units of an aromatic vinyl monomer. The composition has an improved adhesive property to substrates to which conventional curable compositions comprising an organic polymer having a reactive silicon-containing group are hard to adhere, such as mortar, concrete, fluorocarbon resin coats, EPDM rubber sheet, polyvinyl chloride resin sheet and acrylic resin substrate.

Abstract: A broadcast system composed of a first broadcast apparatus and a second broadcast apparatus. The first broadcast apparatus broadcasts a broadcast program composed of contents stream data and attachment data, and provides the second broadcast apparatus with the broadcast program. The attachment data contains information that indicates timing with which the attachment data is to be reproduced in synchronization with the contents stream data. The image sync information contains PCRs generated by the PCR generating apparatus of the first broadcast apparatus based on the standard time for the first broadcast apparatus. The image sync information replacing apparatus of the second broadcast apparatus replaces the PCRs with other PCRs which are newly generated based on the standard time for the second broadcast apparatus so that it can correctly reproduce the attachment data in synchronization with the encoded contents stream data.
