Provided is a sheet conveying apparatus that includes a conveying unit capable of changing its posture through rotation, and forms a sheet conveyance path capable of conveying a sheet without fail regardless of which posture the conveying unit is in. A first conveying unit is capable of being in a first posture and in a second posture by rotating from the first posture. In a case where the first conveying unit is in the first posture, a sheet conveyance path is formed in which the first conveyance path, the second conveyance path, and the third conveyance path are connected in this order. In a case where the first conveying unit is in the second posture, a sheet conveyance path is formed in which the first conveyance path and the third conveyance path are connected in this order.

Sheet conveying apparatus

A reading apparatus includes a reading unit configured to read a document, a feeding tray on which the document to be read by the reading unit is stacked, a feeding roller that feeds the document from the feeding tray to a position where the document is read by the reading unit, a feeding pressure plate that presses the document against the feeding roller so that the document is pinched between the feeding roller and the feeding pressure plate, and a discharge roller that discharges the document read by the reading unit to underneath the feeding pressure plate, wherein a position of the discharge roller moves depending on a number of documents pinched between the feeding roller and the feeding pressure plate.

Reading apparatus and recording apparatus

To provide a cleaning method which makes it possible to reduce alkaline component mixing in an ozone cleaning solution, thereby preventing impairment of cleaning ability of ozone. In the cleaning method, before chuck members retain another workpiece having previously been dipped in an ozone cleaning solution in an ozone cleaning tank, alkaline component attached to part of transfer arms and the chuck members is removed by cleaning, thereby preventing the alkaline component from mixing into the ozone cleaning solution.

Cleaning method

A simple configuration is used to reduce an impact applied to a reading sensor when the open/close unit is opened/closed. A back face CIS unit is retained to be movable with regard to a pressure plate so that the back face CIS unit can have a corrected posture when the pressure plate is closed.

Image reading apparatus

An image reading device includes: a sensor unit; a first reading part at which the sensor unit reads a document through a first transparent member; a second reading part at which the sensor unit reads a document through a second transparent member different from the first transparent member; and a color reference, wherein measurement of the color reference is able to be performed through the first transparent member by the sensor unit for calibration for reading at the first reading part, and measurement of the color reference is able to be performed through the second transparent member by the sensor unit for calibration for reading at the second reading part.

Image reading device and image reading method

An image forming apparatus includes a housing having an access cover, a paper feed tray, and a paper discharge tray provided on a side thereof in a rotatable manner. A rotation pivot of the paper feed tray and a rotation pivot of the access cover are arranged on the same axis, and a rotation pivot of the paper discharge tray is arranged with a shift from the rotation pivot of the access cover.

Image forming apparatus

A quinolone synthetic antibacterial agent having excellent properties as a medicine is provided, which has strong antibacterial activity not only to Gram-negative bacteria but also to Gram-positive cocci that have low sensitivity to quinolone antibacterial agents, and which exhibits high safety and excellent pharmacokinetics. A compound represented by the formula (I) or a salt thereof, or a hydrate thereof. Specifically, a quinolone derivative of the formula (I) wherein substituents R6 and R7 taken together with the carbon atoms to which they are bonded form a cyclic structure which may contain an oxygen atom as a ring constituent atom, the cyclic structure forming a 5-4, 5-5, or 5-6 fused bicyclic pyrrolidinyl substituent, the substituent being bonded to a quinolone mother skeleton Q containing a pyridobenzoxazine structure. 

Fused substituted aminopyrrolidine derivative

An intermediate for production of a quinolone synthetic antibacterial agent and a therapeutic agent for an infection which exhibit broad spectrum and strong antibacterial activity for both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria.

Tri-, tetra-substituted-3-aminopyrrolidine derivative

A quinolone antibacterial compound, or a salt or hydrate of the compound, for the treatment of infectious diseases, which exhibit potent antibacterial activity and higher selective toxicity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, which do not cause side effects (e.g., convulsion), which exhibit higher safety, and which has a structure of formula (I): 

Substituted pyrrolidine derivative

An alkali etching liquid for a silicon wafer that includes an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, and from 0.1 g/L to 0.5 g/L of diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid. Furthermore, the Fe concentration of the aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide is no more than 50 ppb. An etching method that including a step of etching a silicon wafer with a resistivity of no more than 1 &#x3a9;&#xb7;cm using the etching liquid.

Alkali etching liquid for silicon wafer and etching method using same

A quinolone synthetic antibacterial agent and a therapeutic agent for an infection which exhibit broad spectrum and strong antibacterial activity for both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, and which are also highly safe are provided. The compound provided is represented by formula (I): 

To provide a manufacturing method for an epitaxial wafer that alleviates distortions on a back surface thereof due to sticking between a wafer and a susceptor, thereby preventing decrease in flatness thereof due to a lift pin. A manufacturing method for an epitaxial wafer according to the present invention includes: an oxide film forming step in which an oxide film is formed on a back surface thereof; an etching step in which a hydrophobic portion exposing a back surface of the semiconductor wafer is provided by partially removing the oxide film; a wafer placing step in which the semiconductor wafer is placed; and an epitaxial growth step in which an epitaxial layer is grown on a main surface of the semiconductor wafer; and the diameter of the lift pin installation circle provided on a circle on a bottom face of a susceptor is smaller than that of the hydrophobic portion.

Manufacturing method for epitaxial wafer

3-(1-Aminocycloalkyl)pyrrolidinyl-substituted-6-dehalodeno(hydrogen-substituted)quinolon carboxylic acid derivatives having specific substituents as represented by the following formula (I), its salts, and hydrates thereof exhibit a broad and potent antibacterial activity on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, in particular, resistant bacteria typified by gram-positive cocci, including MRSA, PRSP and VRE. Thus these compounds are usable as drugs.
