  • Patent number: 10620113
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide an environmental test apparatus which can directly set an environmental change rate and hardly causes input errors. Change amount information associated with a total change amount and change rate information associated with a change amount per unit time can be input. A target locus of change can be set by using a change amount/change rate setting method of setting the target locus of change based on a combination of change amount information and change rate information. When setting the target locus of change by the change amount/change rate setting method, input of time information is inhibited.

  • Patent number: 10115429
    Abstract: A disk magazine according to the present disclosure is a disk magazine equipped with a resin-made disk tray that houses a plurality of disks in a stacked state and a tray holder that houses the disk tray. An opening is provided on one side surface of the tray holder so that the disk tray can be inserted into and extracted from the opening. A sliding member is mounted to a front wall of the disk tray so as to protrude more upward than a top surface of the disk tray. The front wall serves as a side where the disk tray is inserted into the opening. The sliding member is constituted of a resin material different from a resin material that constitutes the disk tray.

  • Patent number: 10049699
    Abstract: A disc tray includes a bottom wall including an outer periphery and an inner rib supporter supporting the lowermost disc from below. The bottom wall is thickened from the outer periphery toward the inner rib supporter. The lowermost disc includes a data recording area, an inner rib, and an outer rib. When the lowermost disc is stationary, the outer rib of the lowermost disc and the upper surface of the bottom wall are separated by a gap. When the lowermost disc is inclined in such a manner that part of the outer rib of the lowermost disc comes into contact with the upper surface of the bottom wall, the data recording area of the lowermost disc and the upper surface of the bottom wall are separated by a gap greater than thickness of the outer or inner rib.

  • Patent number: 4305974
    Abstract: A semiconductor device with multilayer wirings can be produced with high yield by applying a liquid source for silicate film to a surface of a chemically vapor deposited insulating layer placed on a surface of the semiconductor substrate in order to provide a smoothed surface. After solidification of the liquid source, the substrate is subjected to a controlled etching to leave the same contour as the one of the smoothed surface on the resultant surface. An upper wiring layer is placed on the resultant smoothed surface in contact with a lower wiring layer through the insulating layer thereby decreasing disconnections in the upper wiring layer which could easily be caused by steep edges existing on an insulating surface layer of a conventional device.
