Abstract:
In an X-ray generation apparatus (10) of transmission type including an electron emission source (6), and a target (1) generating an X-ray (14) with collision of electrons emitted from the electron emission source against the target, the X-ray generation apparatus further includes a secondary X-ray generation portion (5) generating an X- ray with collision of electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion, and the secondary X-ray generation portion and the target are arranged such that the X-ray (14) generated with the direct collision of the electrons against the target and the X-ray (15) generated with the collision of the electrons reflected by the target against the secondary X-ray generation portion are both radiated to an outside. X-ray generation efficiency is increased by effectively utilizing the electrons reflected by the target.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an imaging device comprises the steps of (a) forming first electrodes and second electrodes on a rear plate; (b) forming a film consisting of a photosensitive material and a conductive material selectively on the rear plate through openings of desire shapes in a mask; (c) shedding light to desired regions of the film formed on the rear plate; (d) patterning the film; (e) baking the patterned film to form a plurality of conductors to be connected with the electrodes; and (f) forming conductive film for connecting the first and second electrodes.
Abstract:
A screen printer is provided with a printing table for setting an object to be printed, a screen, and a squeegee. The squeegee is arranged on the object to be printed, which is set on the printing table through the screen, and depending on the patterns set on the screen, ink patterns are formed on the object to be printed by allowing the squeegee to travel in a state that it is in contact with ink. This screen printer comprises means for applying external force which is movably arranged with respect to the screen, and is capable of applying an external force in the direction of offsetting the adhesive strength of ink between the screen and the object to be printed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of detecting a slope of a surface of an information record medium in an apparatus for detecting/writing information using one or a plurality of probes from/in the information record medium, comprising, scan step of scanning the surface of the information record medium using the probe, information detection step of detecting information from the surface of the information record medium through said probe when the scan step is executed; and slope detection step of detecting the slope of the surface of the information record medium on the basis of the information detection result.
Abstract:
In an apparatus including a recording medium on which a multiplicity of information bit lines are formed and a probe facing the recording medium, the displacement between the center of the information bit line and the locus of the probe is detected at the time or relatively moving the probe along the information bit line. Tracking is performed in such a manner that the probe scans the center of the information bit line in accordance with the detection results.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing information is disclosed which includes a recording medium. The recording medium has a magnetic material placed thereon with a predetermined magnetisation pattern with respect to the recording medium. The apparatus is provided with a means for detecting the magnetisation pattern of the magnetic material and detecting a change of the recording medium and the driving of the medium is controlled in response to said detected changes.
