Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a data transfer
apparatus which, when data transfer requests from a plurality
of interfaces are to be accepted and processed, can adjust the
data transfer so as not to be partially performed on a specific
host apparatus. When a plurality of host computers issue a data
transfer request, a host I/F which is to be enabled to perform
a data transfer is selected from a plurality of host I/Fs on
the basis of a priority table (23). The selected host I/F sends
a data transfer enabling signal to the host computer which is
connected to the host I/F, to request print data transmission.
The host computer which receives the transmission request
transmits print data. The print data is transmitted to a
printing apparatus (3) via the host I/F (21a) which is connected
to the host computer, and connecting means (25). Thereafter,
the priority of the host I/F (21a) connected to the host computer
which is the transmission source of the printed data is lowered
to the lowest rank or by a predetermined number of ranks in the
priority table (23).

Abstract: The invention intends to solve a problem that an S/I
ratio of a signal from a target base station deteriorates
when there is a terminal near another base station. For
this purpose, a signal replica (122) of the signal from the
nearby base station is generated and the replica is
subtracted from a receiving signal (100). A signal of the
target base station is detected from the resultant
receiving signal (100). The signal from the nearby base
station is deleted from the denominator of the S/I ratio,
thereby increasing the S/I ratio.

Abstract: The bus conductor section has a connector module which can be located on a carrier rail. The module has connectors for external leads and a series of plate type basic clamp carriers. Inside each connector module, the internal bus conductor section runs essentially parallel to the carrier rail. The bus conductor sections of each individual carrier each have several perpendicular contact elements. These contact both a bus conductor plate in the respective clamp carrier and also a bus conductor plate in the adjacent clamp carrier. Thus, a direct bus conductor connection is achieved between adjacent clamp carriers.

Abstract: An alignment sensor (30) having a fixed reference grating
(60) and a movable wafer grating (68) receiving electromagnetic
radiation from a coherent illumination source (34). The
illumination source (34) is split into two beams by a
beamsplitter (50). One beam is directed to a fixed reference
grating (60) and the diffracted orders (64A, 64B, 64C, 64D) are
collected. The other beam from the beamsplitter (50) is directed
to a movable wafer grating (68). The diffracted orders (70A, 70B,
70C, 70D) from the movable wafer grating (68) are collected and
caused to interfere with the diffracted orders from the fixed
reference grating (60), causing a phase shift indicative of the
wafer movement or misalignment with respect to the fixed
reference grating (60). Multiple channels having discrete
wavelengths or colors are used to optimize detection and
alignment irrespective of wafer processing variables. A
polarization fixture (38) on the illumination source (34) and a
central polarizing portion (52) on the beamsplitter (50) is used
to provide contrast optimization, or alternately a latent image
metrology mode. The alignment sensor improves alignment accuracy
irrespective of processing variables and provides flexibility
improving efficiency in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.

Abstract: A method for producing surfaces which inhibit the build-up of grease and water in chilled conditions has the surface roughened to an ultra- or nano degree. This prevents water from wetting the surface thus rolling off before freezing. The surface also inhibits the adhesion of grease films, which are easily washed off with water. The surface treatment can be produced by etching or by mechanical polishing. A similar effect can be obtained by coating with a special paint.

Abstract: The invention concerns an image forming apparatus
provided with an automatic writing-position determining
device for forming an image always at a correct position on
the recording material. The image forming apparatus includes
an image forming section to form an image by writing each of
scanning lines, an end position detecting section to detect
an end position of a recording material in a direction
orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the recording
material, and a selecting section to select either an

predetermined writing-position determining mode. When the
selecting section selects the automatic writing-position
determining mode, the image forming section commences an
image writing action from a writing start position determined
on the basis of a detected result of the end position
detecting device. When the selecting section selects the
predetermined writing-position determining mode, the image
forming section commences the image writing action from a
predetermined writing start position set in advance.
