Provided are a system of highly clean rooms capable of continuously maintaining high cleanliness of air of class 1 or above and supplying enough oxygen inside the room for several persons to live in and a wall adapted to the structure of such a system. The system of highly clean roomsis provided with a living spaceand a spacebetween the roof and the ceiling as subspaces of an enclosed space formed by a room. One of the lateral walls of the roomis constituted of a wallwith an internal space, which is a hollow wall. The internal spaceand the living spaceare in contact via an inner wallof the wall, and a gas exchange membraneis stretched in the inner wall. Furthermore, a gas flow pathis provided inside the inner spaceand the gas flow pathallows airtight communication between an openingprovided on the lowest part of the internal walland a gas entry opening of a fan filter unitprovided on a ceiling wallinside the spacebetween the roof and the ceiling.

A roomin a building has a living etc. spaceof volume V that is an enclosed space. Ventilation of an air flow F is performed from the outside to the living etc. space. Entering/exiting of air as an air current between the inside of the living etc. spaceand the outside is eliminated, and at least a part of the boundary between the living etc. spaceand the outside is configured from a gas exchange membranehaving a diffusion constant D, a thickness L, and an area A for gas molecules of interest. When air inside the living etc. spaceis sufficiently agitated and the concentration of gas molecules constituting the air is made spatially uniform, &#x3b7;(t) is controlled so as to vary according to B(m/s) is the gas consumption amount inside the living etc. space(t) is the gas concentration inside the living etc. spaceat time t, and &#x3b7;0 is the gas concentration of the outside.

Provided are a sleeping state detection system and method that can detect the sleeping state of a subject such as an inpatient or a tenant without causing the subject stress, and that can ascertain the health state of the subject from the detection results. The sleeping state detection system includes a room or closed space () in which the subject sleeps, and a dust counter () that measures the dust particles inside the room or closed space (). In a state where the inside of the room or closed space () is kept cleaner than the outside of the room or closed space () by using a fan filter unit () disposed in the room or closed space (), while the subject sleeps, the change over time in the number of dust particles inside the room or closed space () is measured using the dust counter (), and thereby the sleeping state of the subject is detected. The inside of the room or closed space () is preferably kept at a cleanliness of US 209D Class100 or better.

A device manufacturing method and a device manufacturing apparatus in a single wafer processing system with wafers in 0.5 inch size. A large number of sealed-type unit process apparatuses are arranged to form a manufacturing line. The unit process apparatus is portable and processes a single process in the manufacturing process. When the number of a unit of manufacturing is more than the number of the unit process apparatuses, the unit process apparatuses are arranged as a flow shop system, corresponding to the order of processes for the device. When the number of the units is nearly equal to the number of processes, the apparatuses are arranged as a class shop system for classified arrangement at every major division of orders of processes. When the number of the units is far less than the number of processes, the apparatuses are arranged as a multicell shop system.

A nickel thin film is formed, for example, to a thickness of 2 nm or more on a polyethylene naphthalate substrate by a vacuum evaporation method. A magnetoresistance effect element using ferromagnetic nano-junction is comprised by using two laminates each comprising a nickel thin film formed on a polyethylene naphthalate substrate, and joining these two laminates so that the nickel thin films cross to each other in such a manner that edges of the nickel thin films face each other.

This invention relates to a fiber-made surface fastener comprising joining faces each in which a plurality of fiber-made engaging elements are provided on one surface of each flat base fabric. By specifying a structure and composition yarns of the base fabric of the same surface fastener, the ratio (A/B) of an area A of a range in which sound spectrum of a peeling-off sound Fourier-transformed in a range of 100 Hz to 15000 Hz is 100 Hz to 3000 Hz to an area B of a range in which sound spectrum of a peeling-off sound Fourier-transformed in a range of 100 Hz to 15000 Hz is 3000 Hz to 15000 Hz is 0.4 or more. Consequently, tone of a sound generated when the surface fastener is peeled off and when the surface fastener attached on a product is peeled off is shifted to a low tone side so as to reduce an uncomfortable sound to a lower tone thereby reducing a feeling of discomfort.
