Abstract: A thermoelectric conversion device is manufactured by the following steps of forming. A metallic material is formed on a substrate. A photosensitive resin pattern is formed on the metallic material. Patterned n-type or p-type thermoelectric material elements having a predetermined thickness and electrode junction layers are formed by plating. Next, the photosensitive resin pattern is dissolved and the metallic material is removed. And the substrate having the p-type thermoelectric material elements and the substrate having the n-type thermoelectric material elements are joined with the electrode junction layers interposed between the each thermoelectric material elements and the opposed substrate.

Abstract: An X-ray analyzing apparatus having high sensitivity and high position resolving power in which an X-ray fluorescent screen made of Gd.sub.2 O.sub.2 S:Tb as a material and having a surface density ranging from 5 mg/cm.sup.2 to 30 mg/cm.sup.2 is used, and an image intensifier and a charge coupled device (CCD) are combined to form an X-ray difraction two-dimensional detector; and the image intensifier and the CCD are combined with a tapered fiber plate, and an alignment section of a mirror mount tube and a vacuum flexible tube are separated by an X-ray window ambient atmsophere and a vacuum.

Abstract: A coordinate reader comprises a coordinate detector body having at least one excitation line, at least one detection line, an exciting circuit connected to the excitation line for supplying an exciting signal, a signal processing circuit connected to the detection line for receiving an induction signal generated in the detection line and outputting a signal containing amplitude information of the induction signal, and a control circuit for receiving the signal outputted by the signal processing unit and outputting an excitation control signal to the exciting circuit. A coordinate indicator indicates position information obtained from the induction signal induced in the detection line. A phase detecting circuit detects a phase difference between the excitation signal and the induction signal generated in the detection line.

Abstract: An x-ray mirror material of high reflectance with a surface roughness which is very small and a high film density, the material being a Pt alloy film provided as a mirror surface for reflecting x-ray radiation. The composition of the mirror material is expressed by the general formula: Pt.sub.1-x M.sub.x. This material is deposited on a substrate surface which has been polished to a level form, where M is at least one substance selected from Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ta, W, and Au, and x satisfies the formula: 0.005.ltoreq..times..ltoreq.0.10.
