    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase a contact area thereby improving a response speed and a sensitivity of a gas sensor by forming an opening at an insulating substrate other than an electrode at an area of a stress-sensitive film to penetrate to a rear face, and bringing a sample gas in contact with not only an upper face of the stress-sensitive film, but the stress-sensitive film from the side of the substrate. SOLUTION: Openings 11 each constituting a comb-like part with comb teeth opposed via a width of approximately 150 μm are formed at a silicon wafer 9 of a thickness of approximately 200 μm. A gold film is formed via an insulating oxide film and a titanium film on the oxide film to a surface of the wafer 9 at an area formed like a comb and each area connected to the area, thereby forming a comb-shaped electrode and terminals 15 connected to the comb-like electrode. A sensor substrate 17 is constituted of the silicon wafer 9, electrode and terminals 15. When a sample gas is measured with the use of a gas sensor 21, the sample gas is brought in touch with not only a front face of a stress-sensitive film 19, but the stress-sensitive film 19 from the side of a rear face through the openings 11. Since the sample gas is brought in touch with the upper and lower faces of the stress-sensitive film 19, thereby increasing a contact area, a response speed and a sensitivity are improved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-speed growth method for a water-soluble crystal capable of greatly increasing a crystal growth speed as compared with the crystal growth speed of the conventional water-soluble crystal precipitation method. SOLUTION: A growth soln. of a high saturation state of a supersaturation degree of 10 to 200% is formed by impressing heat energy and acoustic energy on an aq. soln. of a crystalline material, then cooling the soln. A seed crystal is inserted into the growth soln. and the crystal is grown while soln. flow is formed near its crystal growth surface. The heat energy and acoustic energy are impressed on the soln. in the stage before the soln. is supercooled to the supersaturation state, by which the generation of clusters in the soln. is suppressed and the formation of general crystals is suppressed. The crystal material molecules in the growth soln. of the high supersaturation are thus deposited only on the crystal growth surface.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve high detecting accuracy, cost down and miniaturization. SOLUTION: A detecting pulse current signal I1, consisting of a reference voltage generating pulse P1 and a self heat generating pulse, which are repeated alternately, is supplied to a thermistor 2 by a detecting current supplying means, constituted of a CPU 5, a D/A converter 7 and a voltage/current converter 10. In this case, a deciding means, consisting of the CPU 5 and a memory 6, produces a threshold value T based on a reference voltage generated in the thermistor 2 by the reference voltage generating pulse, and, thereafter, compares a self heat generating voltage, generated in the thermistor 2 by the self heat generating pulse, with the threshold value to decide frosting and dewing.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To obtain a clinical thermometer for measuring the temperature of an object accurately in a short time. CONSTITUTION: A temperature measuring instrument can be built in a case as small as a clinical thermometer by employing a liquid crystal chopper 4 as a modulation means for incident infrared rays at the time of measuring the absolute temperature using a pyroelectric infrared detector 3.

Then the unnecessary line 11 is removed and a thin superconducting film 3 is adhered to an entire surface of the substrate 10 while the thin film 3 is sharply bitten into a ridge of the protrusion 1a. Then patterning is done with resist applied on the entire surface to be exposed and developed, ion milling is done to make a pattern having a bridge 4 across electrodes 2, 3 and the protrusion 1a. The substrate may be SrTiO2 and the thin film may be YBCO, Bi or Ti.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To increase critical current at a bank part and reduce it at a link part in a junction by allowing current to flow in a direction crossing an axis c at the bank part and by allowing a junction current in the link part to flow in a direction parallel to the axis c. CONSTITUTION:A stage difference part 1 is formed on the surface of an MgO substrate 1, a first high-temperature superconductive thin film 2 and a second high-temperature superconductive thin film 3 oriented in an axis c are formed at the upper-stage and lower-stage sides, respectively. These thin films 2 and 3 are joined at a link part 4 consisting of a high-temperature superconductive thin film oriented in the axis c which is formed at the stage part 1a on the surface of the substrate 1. Then, the lower surface of the thin film 2 is located at the upper part from the upper surface of the thin film 3 in the junction part by the link part 4, thus obtaining a Josephson junction with a large critical current at the bank part and a small critical current at the link part. Also, the weak link length can be extended to 3-5 times or less than a coherent length easily without depending on fine machining on a plane.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To change the temperature of a Josephson junction section, and to adjust the critical current value of the Josephson junction section by forming a conductible resistor film near the Josephson junction section and controlling the quantity of conduction from the outside to the resistor film. CONSTITUTION:A substrate 1 is made of MgO, YB2Cu3Ox is film-formed onto the substrate 1 through a sputtering method, a resist mask is prepared through photolithography, and the film is etched through Ar ion milling, thus acquiring a loop-shaped superconducting thin-film 2 and a micro-bridge type Josephson junction section J. MgO is film-formed so as to cover only a section near the Josephson junction section J centering around the junction section J in the upper section of the junction section J, and an insulating film 3 is shaped. Ta is film-formed so as to pass through a section just above the Josephson junction section J in the upper section of the insulating film 3, and used as a resistor film 4. When a supply current value to the resistor film 4 is changed, the resistor film 4 is heat-generated only by quantity corresponding to the current value, and the temperature of the Josephson junction section J is elevated. Currents made to flow through the resistor film 4 are controlled, thus controlling the critical current value of the junction section to a desired value.
