Abstract: A raw material gas liquefying device includes a feed line; a refrigerant circulation line; and a controller. In a refrigerant liquefaction route, a refrigerant flows through a compressor, a heat exchanger, a circulation system JT valve, a liquefied refrigerant storage tank, and the heat exchanger, and returns to the compressor. In a cryogenic energy generation route, the refrigerant flows through the compressor, the heat exchanger, an expansion unit, and the heat exchanger, and returns to the compressor. The controller determines if a refrigerant storage tank liquid level is within an allowable range, manipulates a feed system JT valve opening rate to control refrigerant temperature at the high-temperature-side refrigerant flow path exit side of the heat exchanger, and manipulates the opening rate of the feed system JT valve to control the refrigerant storage tank liquid level so that the refrigerant storage tank liquid level falls into the predetermined allowable range.

Abstract: A data processor which comprises a pipeline processing mechanism for executing memory indirect addressing and register indirect addressing in an address calculation stage, checks whether or not an instruction writes an operand to a memory or register, makes each stage of the pipeline mechanism hold reservation information thereof in sequence, thereby reduces the frequency of stops of pipeline processing caused by processing of operand address calculation of the following instruction attending on a writing of the operand of the preceding instruction to a memory or register, so that data processing can be execute at a higher efficiency.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of providing an elongated stock; producing a wafer comprising the steps of processing one end face of an elongated stock to form a first flat surface; cutting through one end portion of the stock transversely by a cutter to provide a slice of a predetermined thickness having opposite side faces defined respectively by the first flat surface and a cut surface subjected to the cutting; and processing the cut surface of the slice to form a second flat surface, using the first flat surface as a reference surface, thereby providing the wafer.
