Disclosed is a device for vacuum process usable for performing vapor-deposition on a board while heating the board in a vacuum chamber. A light-permeable window is formed in a part of the chamber. The light-permeable window is joined to a holding part for holding the board in a linear space isolated from other portions in the chamber. A laser oscillator is disposed on the outside of the light-permeable window. The board is heated by radiating a laser beam from the laser oscillator to the board through the linear space. Inconvenience of a conventional device such as the lowering of the output of laser beam can be eliminated, and thereby,heating by laser beam is enabled.

In a full digital amplifier for an audio amplifier or the like, it is possible to suppress the concentration of an electromagnetic noise emission spectrum at a specific frequency. A sampling period variation type digital filter is realized by varying the coefficient of a noise shaping filter (3) for the delta-sigma modulator of the full digital amplifier depending on a sampling period. This allows the variation in the carrier frequency of the pulse width modulation.

[PROBLEMS] To satisfy a requested processing speed and achieve a maximum power saving effect in a microprocessor. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Operation is performed to obtain a control value by deviation proportion/integration against a number of instruction executions for which a target number of instruction execution has been measured. According to the control value, clock supply to a selected pipeline register is stopped and a signal is controlled to pass through the pipeline register, thereby performing an integration process to reduce the number of stages of the pipeline. On the contrary, clock supply to the selected pipeline register is resumed and the pipeline is controlled so that the signal is synchronized with the clock and latch...

A method of forming bilayers of amphipathic molecules uses droplets of aqueous solution in a hydrophobic medium such as oil. A layer of amphipathic molecules such as a lipid is formed around the surfaces of the droplets. This may be achieved by providing the lipid in the oil and leaving the droplets for a time sufficient to form the layer. The droplets are brought into contact with one another so that a bilayer of the amphipathic molecules is formed as an interface between the contacting droplets. The bilayers may be used for a wide range of studies. The technique has numerous advantages including providing a long lifetime for the bilayers, allowing study of small volumes and allowing the construction of chains and networks of droplets with...
