Abstract: An instrumental dial has a plurality of grooves defined in a front surface thereof. Each groove has a pair of side surfaces each comprising a pair of flat surfaces. The flat surface is closer to a rear surface of the instrumental dial than the flat surface. The flat surfaces are inclined by different angles ?1, ?2, respectively, to the direction in which the dial is visually recognized. The angles ?1, ?2 satisfy the relationship of ?1>?2. The number of times that incoming light is reflected in the groove is increased to greatly reduce the amount of light that leaves the groove and also to disperse outgoing light in various directions. The instrumental dial thus has a novel look provided by a spinning pattern, and has a reduced reflectance for good visibility.

Abstract: The present invention can provide a silicon semiconductor substrate used for and epitaxial wafer, in which uniform and high-level gettering ability is obtained irrespective of slicing positions from a silicon single crystal while generation of epitaxial defects can be suppressed, by doping carbon or carbon along with nitrogen during a pulling process of a CZ method or by performing appropriate heat treatment prior to the epitaxial process. Therefore, a crystal production yield can remarkably be improved because a permissible upper limit (concentration margin) of an oxygen concentration which is restricted by formation of a ring-shaped OSF region can be higher and also an excellent gettering ability is exhibited, while allowing an epitaxial wafer to be produced wherein epitaxial defects attributable to substrate crystal defects are not formed.

Abstract: In a system, an actuator is linked to a valve rotatably installed in a passage through which gas flows. The actuator changes torque to be applied to the valve so as to adjust a rotational position of the valve based on a deviation between a current position and a target position.
