Apparatus inspects the presence/absence of foreign substance on object having inspection region and non-inspection region arranged outside the inspection region. The apparatus includes sensor for illuminating the object and output, as image, result acquired by detecting light from region including the inspection region, and processor for detecting foreign substance based on inspection region image acquired by excluding non-inspection region image, which is image of the non-inspection region, from the image output from the sensor. The non-inspection region image includes first part generated by light from predetermined part of the non-inspection region of the inspected object and second part whose pixel value is continuous from pixel value of the first part and the processor specifies the second part based on fact that the pixel value of the second part is continuous from that of the first part.

A non-volatile memory device includes a non-volatile memory unit, a control unit, and an interface. The control unit receives a write request, determines whether data is an object of a write of sequential management when a write size of the received data is smaller than a management unit of erasure, performs first write processing in which the received data smaller than the management unit of the erasure is sequentially written when the data is the object of the write of the sequential management, and performs second write processing in which the received data smaller than the management unit of the erasure is written by the management unit of the write when the data is not the object of the write of the sequential management.

A method of manufacturing golf balls having a core and a cover of at least one layer encasing the core includes the steps of producing a core by molding and vulcanizing a rubber composition containing (A) a base rubber, (B) an &#x3b1;,&#x3b2;-unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or a metal salt thereof, and (C) an organic peroxide; and heat-treating the core for 1 to 24 hours at between 175 and 300&#xb0; C. Golf balls which undergo little energy loss and have a high initial velocity can be obtained by this method.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a highly durable tire using a resin composition, and a solution to the problem is a tire obtained by using a resin composition containing a polyamide resin and an elastomer having a glass transition temperature of 25&#xb0; C. or less, wherein the melt viscosity &#x3bd; (Pa&#xb7;sec) at 240&#xb0; C. and the average distance between elastomer interfaces, &#x3c4; (&#x3bc;m), satisfy the relationship of the following expression (1):&#x3bd;&#x3c;34.369&#x3c4;&#x2003;&#x2003;(1).

Tire

The provided tire has excellent durability regardless of use in a high-humidity environment or contact with water, even though the framework member of the tire is made of a resin material. The resin material is made of a resin composition including 60 mass % or more of a polyamide resin formed by polymerizing an aliphatic diamine having 6 to 20 carbon atoms and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid having 10 to 20 carbon atoms.

The present invention provides a pushbutton switch cover sheet formed by using a thin metal plate, in which damage or deformation, such as bending or denting, of the thin metal plate is prevented, thereby making it possible to continuously maintain a satisfactory design. The pushbutton switch cover sheet comprising: a plurality of display portions; a plurality of depressing-operation portions for effecting key input on the display portions, respectively; a base sheet formed of a rubber-like elastic material; and a thin metal plate provided on the base sheet, wherein a reinforcing member formed of a polymeric material is provided for each depressing-operation portion so as to be adjacent to the thin metal plate in a direction of a thickness of the thin metal plate.

According to the present invention, there is provided a pushbutton switch cover sheet providing a unique design. A pushbutton switch cover sheet is provided with an operation plate of metal or hard resin having dividing grooves defining depressing operation members capable of displacement through depression. Therefore, there is no need to provide the casing of the apparatus with a frame defining key tops, making it possible to impart a novel design to the apparatus. The operation plate is formed as a thin plate, so it is possible to reduce a thickness of the apparatus as a whole. Further, the dividing grooves are provided with in-groove protrusions protruding into the dividing grooves and groove filling members fixed to the groove inner side surfaces and formed of a rubber-like elastic material, thereby making it possible to provide a pushbutton switch cover sheet of a high level of safety in which there is no fear of fingers being injured by the dividing grooves.

A production method of the present invention is a method of producing a spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film. In this production method, a buffer layer, an antiferromagnetic layer, a fixed magnetization layer, a nonmagnetic conductive layer, a free magnetization layer, and a protective layer are consecutively stacked on a substrate. Furter, plasma treatment is performed on predetermined stacked interfaces in the spin valve type giant magnetoresistive thin film to reduce the interlayer coupling magnetic field acting between the fixed magnetization layer and the free magnetization layer and to obtain a high MR ratio. The above production method can achieve both of the high MR ratio and low interlayer coupling magnetic field (Hin) in the thin film produced.

In a device for forming magnetic film which deposits magnetic material on a substrate , a device is provided which, before the magnetic film is formed in a magnetic film-forming chamber , cleans one or both of the film-forming face and reverse face of the substrate in a cleaning processing chamber . The cleaning mechanism carries out cleaning by placing a substrate on a horseshoe-shaped insulator substrate-holding part which moves up and down, and emission of gas from the reverse face of the substrate and the like is brought about by generating Ar plasma between the upper periphery of the substrate, the substrate and a lower insulator of the substrate.
