Abstract: In a base station, a downlink radio resource and an uplink radio resource to be used for transmission of a known signal from a communication terminal are associated for null steering to be performed based on the known signal. A correction value calculating unit calculates a first correction value used to correct a downlink quality value obtained by a communication terminal. The correction value calculating unit calculates a second correction value used to correct a downlink quality value obtained by a communication terminal.

Abstract: The X-ray processing device comprises a work table on which a processing object is placed, X-ray processors irradiating the processing object placed in a given processing zone on the work table with an X-ray for processing, a pressing member, and X-ray shielding sheets. The pressing member presses and collapses any remaining raised edges at the sides of the processing object. The X-ray shielding sheets are provided on the side of the pressing member that is closest to the processing zone and shield the X-ray from the X-ray processors.

Abstract: An inspection head is used for an inspecting apparatus that inspects whether there is an abnormal projection on a disk surface having a first lubrication layer, and floats over the disk surface. The inspection head includes a floating surface covered with a second lubrication layer that is repellent to the first lubrication layer.

Abstract: A lubricant is provided that achieves a sufficiently small one-molecule-layer film thickness even when it has a high molecular weight, and has an increased reliability in a wide temperature range environment without losing the flying stability, by making the film thickness of a lubricant layer very small when it is used for the magnetic recording medium lubricant layer and/or head slider lubricant layer of a magnetic recording device. This lubricant comprises a fluorine-containing polymer, the lubricant having a relationship: Y<?1.4475X+2.815, wherein Y is a natural logarithm of diffusion coefficient at 23° C. (unit:?m2/s); and X is a viscosity at 20° C. (unit: Pas), or it comprises a fluorine-containing polymer having a particular structure, and with molecular chains between adjacent polar groups that have a number-average molecular weight of not less than 500.

Abstract: In preparing a purified fluorine-based solvent from a fluorine-based solution comprising a lubricant based on a fluororesin having an organic terminal group and a fluorocarbon-based solvent, impurities including ionic pollutants contained in the fluorine-based solution or the lubricant are selectively removed by an adsorption process. The preparation apparatus of a purified fluorine-based solvent is also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for positioning and clamping a board includes a plurality of clamping devices for clamping an edge portion of the board. Each clamping device includes positioning members for positioning the board with respect thereto, and a dragging device disposed between the clamping devices for dragging the board into contact with the positioning members. The dragging device is provided with a board clamping portion including a lower claw and an upper claw having rotating disks rotatably installed thereon for swivably clamping the board, and a reciprocating mechanism connected with the board clamping portion for reciprocating the board clamping portion. A board is first clamped by the dragging device and is dragged into contact with the positioning members of the clamping devices.
