Abstract: Disclosed is a box-shaped facing-targets sputtering
apparatus capable of forming, at low temperature, a
compound thin film of high quality while causing minimal
damage to an underlying layer. The box-shaped facing-targets
sputtering apparatus includes a box-shaped facing-targets
sputtering unit (70) and a vacuum chamber (10), the
sputtering unit (70) including a rectangular parallelepiped
frame (71) having six faces (71a-f), one of which serves as
an opening face (71f), and a pair of facing target units
(100a,100b), each including a target and magnetic-field
generation means formed of a permanent magnet (130a) which
is provided so as to surround the target, which means
generates a facing-mode magnetic field extending in a
direction perpendicular to the surface of the target and a
magnetron-mode magnetic field extending in a direction
parallel to the target surface, in which the target units
(100a,100b) are provided on first opposing faces of the
frame which are located adjacent to the opening face, and
second opposing faces and the remaining one face of the
frame are shutted, wherein the sputtering unit (100a,100b)
is provided on the vacuum chamber (10) such that the
opening face faces the vacuum chamber (10) and a substrate 
(20) on which a thin film is to be formed, the substrate

Abstract: The present invention relates to an installation for collating stacks of printed
products. The installation consists, inter alia, of a gathering machine, a predetermined
number of feeders and a computer, the feeders being equipped to feed printed products to
the gathering machine and stacks of printed products being produced in batches. Each
batch consists of a set of groups of stacks where all stacks within a group have the same
composition of printed products. The computer determines a feeder schedule in which it is
specified which feeder has to be activated, deactivated or changed over at what point in
time. The computer of the invention also determines a (sub)optimum batch sequence. As a
result of determining this (sub)optimum batch sequence in advance, the number of times
that a feeder that has been used for a particular batch has to be changed over for a
subsequent batch during the batch processing process will be as low as possible. As a
result, the time for which the gathering machine has to be stopped is minimum.

Abstract: A method of improving the quality of a ligneous laminate comprising
superposed ligneous boards by impregnation with a synthetic polyurethane
resin primer. The ligneous laminate is processed into a shape-finished ligneous
laminate with a product shape, and the shape-finished ligneous laminate is
impregnated with the synthetic polyurethane resin primer under a pressure as
high as 1 to 5 kg/cm 2  for 15 to 60 minutes according to the thickness thereof.
The shape-finished ligneous laminate is then held under a pressure of 600 to 700
torr for 1 to 10 minutes. Hot air of 50 to 60°C is circulated at a pressure of 300
to 400 torr around the shape-finished ligneous laminate so as to vaporize and
remove only solvent like toluene from the laminate. Subsequently, hot air of 40
to 60°C is circulated at the same pressure, while keeping the relative humidity at
50 to 70%, so as to conduct a reaction for strength elevation and a reaction for
enhancing water repellency. Thus, the number of process for production can be
reduced while ensuring the sufficient quality. Due to the simplification of
working operation, the burden to be imposed on the workers is alleviated and
the operating time is shortened. An improvement in the surface quality by
oozing prevention and a reduction in production cost by solvent reuse can also
be attained.
