Abstract: An method and apparatus for automatically forming a plurality of needle-suture assemblies out of a plurality of unsorted needles and an indefinite length strand of suture material, and, automatically positioning them within a package tray, comprises a first machine located at a first location for sorting a plurality of randomly oriented needles and orienting each needle for automatic handling at a first predetermined location, a second machine located at a second predetermined location for automatically drawing and cutting an indefinite length strand of suture material and automatically inserting a free end thereof into a suture receiving opening of the needle, and swaging the needle about the sutures to form a needle suture assembly, and a first indexing device for sequentially receiving individual oriented needles at the first location and transporting each of the needles from the first location to the second location to form the needle-suture assemblies. A second indexing device is provided for registering an empty package tray at a third location for sequentially receiving one or more of the needle-suture assemblies from the first indexing device. A control system computer enables the first indexing device to sequentially transport the needle-suture assemblies from the second location to the third location, and enables the sequential insertion of the needle-suture assemblies to the package tray while registered at the third location.

Abstract: An improvement is proposed in the method for the preparation of a magnetic recording medium by forming a magnetic recording layer of a magnetic alloy on the surface of a non-magnetic substrate plate of, e.g., silicon so as to impart the magnetic recording medium with improved CSS (contact-start-stop) characteristics still without affecting the magnetic recording density. The improvement can be obtained by subjecting the surface of the substrate plate, prior to the formation of the magnetic recording layer, to a surface-roughening treatment which is performed either by a dry-process such as plasma etching and reactive ion etching or by a wet-process of anisotropic etching by using an aqueous solution of sodium or potassium hydroxide as the anisotropic etching solution. In particular, the plasma etching or reactive ion etching is conducted in the presence of a particulate scattering source body of aluminum, etc. placed in the vicinity of the CSS zone so that the surface-roughening effect is limited to the CSS zone by the deposition of particulates scattered therefrom leaving the recording zone unroughened not to decrease the recording density.

Abstract: A sample solution containing protein is irradiated with excitation light of a single wavelength which is emitted from a light source, so that light scattered from the sample solution is received and separated into its spectral components in a spectroscope, thereby obtaining light scattering spectra. Protein is quantitatively measured through intensity of a light scattering spectrum in a shift wavenumber of 100 to 3100 cm -1  with respect to the excitation wavelength among the light scattering spectra or an integral value in a proper range therein. As to a body fluid sample, the sample is irradiated with excitation light and Raman scattering spectral intensity values are measured at a plurality of wavenumbers in an arbitrary wavenumber range, and a plurality of components in the sample are analyzed simultaneously by multivariate regression analysis.

Abstract: In a multifunction watch having as an object the provision of a radio-signal-controlled time correction function, a receiving enabling means (41) is provided which enables operation of a time code receiving means (42) only when a display contents selection means is selecting the contents of a time-measuring means. Additionally, either a function mode stopping means which stops the function mode operating means or a function mode display prohibiting means is provided for the case in which this receiving enabling means is enabling operation of the time code receiving means. This enables the achievement of a high-performance receiving circuit by preventing the simultaneous operation of the time code receiving means and the function mode operating means, the latter operating at high speed and having a high noise level, which leads to deterioration of receiving performance.

Abstract: A vacuum processing apparatus has vacuum processing chambers (11a,11b,11c) the insides of which must be dry cleaned. When the vacuum processing chambers are dry-cleaned, dummy substrates (30) are transferred into the vacuum processing chamber by substrate conveyor means (13,14) from dummy substrate storage means (1c) which is diposed in the air atmosphere separate from storage means (1a,1b) for storing substrates (20) to be processed, and the inside of the vacuum processing chamber is dry-cleaned by generating a plasma. The dummy substrate (30) is returned to the dummy substrate storage means (1c) after dry cleaning is completed. Accordingly, no specific mechanism for the cleaning is necessary and the construction of the apparatus can be made simple. Furthermore, the dummy substrates (30) used for dry cleaning and the substrates (20) to be processed do not coexist, contamination of the substrates to be processed due to dust and remaining gas can be prevented and the production yield can be high.
