Abstract: A charged particle acceleration device, which eliminates the need for repeating alignment adjustment even in the case of repeating installation of the controllers, is provided, and a method for adjusting the same is provided. A charged particle acceleration device 10A includes: controllers 15,15a,15b,15c configured to control a beam trajectory 12 of charged particles that pass through a duct 11 to be inserted through the controllers 15; and a stage 20 that is supported by a frame 16 fixed to a base and reversibly moves the controllers 15 in a direction of intersecting the beam trajectory 12.

Abstract: In order to facilitate the management of the hardware key of a library apparatus employing the LTO system, a write function of a noncontact memory (CM: cartridge memory) contained in an LTO tape cartridge is implemented in a medium carrying mechanism part of the library apparatus, and during an insertion to a tape drive, the IDs unique to a library control part and to the medium carrying mechanism part are recorded in the non-contact memory and utilized as the hardware key of an encrypting apparatus. The hardware key written once is overwritten (erased) during an ejection, thereby preventing leakage of key information.

Abstract: A first data selection circuit selects a data signal among a plurality of data signals from a plurality of circuits, a first direction selection circuit selects a direction control signal of the same circuit among a plurality of direction control signals from these circuits. A data holding circuit and a direction holding circuit respectively hold the selected data signal and direction control signal. A second data selection circuit selects a data signal from the first data selection circuit or the data holding circuit. A second direction selection circuit selects the direction control signal from the first direction selection circuit or the direction holding circuit. An output circuit outputs, to a common input/output terminal, the data signal from the second data selection circuit in accordance with the direction control signal from the second direction selection circuit.

Abstract: An alkenyl-substituted bisnadimide represented by the following formula [1]: ##STR1## [wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 individually represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and E is an alkylene.multidot.phenylene group or an alkylene.multidot.phenylene.multidot.alkylene group represented by the following formula [2]: ##STR2## (wherein a is an integer of 0 or 1, and R.sup.3 and R.sup.3' individually represent a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylene group or a C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 cycloalkylene group)], a process for the preparation of the same and a process for curing the same are disclosed. Further, an adhesive material and a coating material containing the bisnadimide as a curing component are also disclosed. A cured material obtaind from the bisnadimide has excellent heat resistance, mechanical strength, toughness, adhesion property to many kinds of substrates, and so on. The adhesive material shows excellent heat resistance and the coating material shows excellent boiling water resistance.
