Abstract:
The present invention relates to a web processing device, comprising a plurality of pads Pi revolving around a axis X1, a cutter 30 for cutting a continuous web W, and a plurality of anvils Ai for receiving the cutter 30. The pads Pi receive the continuous web W, and the cutter 30 cuts the continuous web W into a cut-off web W2 together with the anvil Ai positioned at a first relative level L1. The pad Pi revolves around the axis X1 while changing an attitude of the pad Pi by turning about a line extending from the first axis toward the pad Pi, thereby carrying the cut-off web W2 while changing an attitude of the cut-off web W2. When the pad Pi changes its attitude, the anvil Ai relatively moves to a second relative level L2 so as not to hinder the pad Pi changing its attitude.

Abstract:
An organic electroluminescent device comprises a cathode, an emitting layer of organic compound including a quinoline derivative, a positive-hole transport layer of organic compound and an anode which are laminated in sequence, further comprising a metal film having a work function equal to or lower than that of the anode and partially disposed between the anode and the positive-hole transport layer. This device achieves a high luminance efficiency per se. The existence of the metal film reduces resistance values of whole anodes. The entering efficiency of the positive-hole carrier is partially decreased due to the metal film line. This metal film line decreases the waste electric current that does not contribute the emission of the emitting layer.
Abstract:
Waste solution of developer, used as developer for a positive type photo resist and containing tetraalkylammonium hydroxide is neutralized with carbon dioxide, and it is filtered through a separation membrane. After removing precipitates of insoluble organic substances, it is sent to an anode chamber of an electrolytic cell divided by a cation exchange membrane, and electrolysis is performed. Low grade organic compounds in aqueous solution of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide obtained from a cathode chamber of a first stage electrolytic cell are oxidized and decomposed and are then supplied to an anode chamber of the next stage electrolytic cell, and high purity tetraalkylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution is obtained from the cathode chamber. Or, the solution is sent to an anode chamber of a multi-chamber electrolytic cell, where a plurality of ion exchange membranes are furnished and an intermediate chamber is provided between the anode chamber and the cathode chamber, low grade organic substances in the intermediate chamber are oxidized and decomposed, and high purity tetraalkylammonium hydroxide aqueous solution is obtained from the cathode chamber through electrolysis.
Abstract:
A CRT controller can be included in a device for driving a dot array recorder. Image processed data output by the CRT controller is stored in a buffer memory. This data stored in the buffer memory is shifted by one raster in response to a vertical sync signal from the CRT controller. The period of the vertical sync signal is set through a command input device to correspond to the paper feed speed and the printing line density. A data display timing signal is output by the CRT controller to a data holding circuit. The raster of data shifted out of the buffer memory is held by the holding circuit and printed on a recording surface by a recording head.
Abstract:
A slider is slightly moved in a direction in which both side surfaces of the slider come in contact with inclined surfaces of impact mitigating parts of neighboring contact strip pieces. For this reason, the inclined surface of the impact mitigating part of the contact strip piece which the slider approaches is relatively downwardly slid with respect to one side surface of the slider. In addition, the inclined surface of the impact mitigating part of the contact strip piece from which the slider moves away is relatively upwardly slid with respect to the other side surface of the slider. As a result, since an impact generated between the contact strip piece and the slider is mitigated by the impact mitigating part without fitting the slider into a stepped section between the neighboring contact strip pieces, the slider is smoothly transferred from the one contact strip piece of the neighboring contact strip pieces to the other contact strip piece.

Provided is a method for producing a liquid crystal panel capable of repairing a defective portion of an alignment film more easily. Provided is a method for producing a liquid crystal panel, including the step of repairing a defective portion 50 of an alignment film 30 formed on a substrate 12 by use of a repair stamp 60 having repair ink 61 attached thereto. The step of repairing includes step (a) of locating the repair stamp 60 in a zone (repair zone) 55 including the defective portion 50; step (b) of moving the repair stamp 60 from the position (60a) at which the repair stamp 60 has been located in step (a); and step (c) of moving the repair stamp 60 again from a position (60b) to which the repair stamp 60 has been moved in step (b) to the position (60a) at which the repair stamp 60 was located in step (a).
Abstract:
An apparatus for producing an article having an elastic member, comprises: a stretcher for receiving the elastic member at a low velocity VL and outputting the elastic member at a medium velocity VM; a carrier including a first pad and a second pad for picking up the elastic member from the stretcher, and a cutter for cutting off the elastic member while carrying the elastic member; and a station for carrying a web at a high velocity Vh and disposing the cut-off elastic member from a pad onto the web. When the elastic member striding over the first pad and the second pad is cut off, an interval between the first pad and the second pad is shortened so as to reduce a shrinking force of a portion of the elastic member between the first pad and the second pad.
Abstract:
Sulfuric acid used in the process of fabricating semiconductor devices, etc., can be recycled to reduce the amount of sulfuric acid to be discarded. A sulfuric acid effluent is fed to an anode chamber of a sulfuric acid-concentrating electrolyzer partitioned by at least one cation exchange membrane to concentrate sulfuric acid and generate oxidizing substances, so that the sulfuric acid can be used at the step of using sulfuric acid, and, when the concentration of impurities built up in the system exceeds a certain level, a part of sulfuric acid in the system is fed to a unit for refining sulfuric acid, where the sulfuric acid is refined and whence the refined sulfuric acid is fed back to the system. According to this recycling process, it is possible to obtain sulfuric acid having high oxidizing power with no addition of an oxidizing substance such as hydrogen peroxide thereto.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for regenerating tetraalkylammonium hydroxide used as developer solution for positive type resist from waste developer solution. Waste solution from developer solution for positive type resist, which contains tetraalkylammonium hydroxide as principal component, is neutralized, and after depositing and removing alkali-soluble organic substances dissolved in it, it is electrolyzed in an anode chamber of an electrolytic cell partitioned by cation exchange membranes, and it is anodized in the anode chamber. Aqueous solution of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide obtained from the cathode chamber is further introduced to an anode chamber of the other electrolytic cell to perform multi-stage electrolysis or it is introduced into an anode chamber of an electrolytic cell partitioned into 3 chambers or more by two or more cation exchange membranes to perform multi-chamber electrolysis. The electrolytic solution of the intermediate chamber is circulated to an electrolytic cell for decomposing organic substances and electrolyzed, and tetraalkylammonium hydroxide, which can be re-used as developer solution, is obtained from the cathode chamber of the final stage electrolytic cell or from the cathode chamber of the multi-chamber electrolytic cell.
