A microwave oven and automatic cooking system uses a food package provided with a noncontact IC tag storing information about a food contained in the food package, where the information about the food includes information about a method of heating the food and an amount of heat energy for cooking the food, the information about the amount of heat energy being expressed in a form of an absolute amount of heat energy. The microwave oven receives the food package and cooks the food contained in the food package. The microwave oven includes a reader that reads the information stored in the noncontact IC tag, and a ccontroller that controls the cooking of the food contained in the food package under optimum cooking conditions on the basis of the information read from the noncontact IC tag by the reader, the controller being programmed to automatically set an absolute amount of heat energy to be provided by the microwave oven on the basis of the information read by the reader, and set a heating time in accordance with an output capacity of the microwave oven and a type of the microwave oven so that the absolute amount of heat energy from the microwave oven conforms with the absolute amount of heat energy information read from the noncontact IC tag.

An electrical terminal,is provided that is formed by being stamped and bent from a metal plate. This terminal is equipped with a pair of opposing first electrical wire accommodating slots,that are respectively formed in a pair of opposing first plate parts,and,, and a pair of opposing second electrical wire accommodating slots,that are respectively formed in opposing second plate parts,. The pair of second plate parts,are formed by a pair of plate parts that are bent from both side edges of a flat plate part,that extends from one of the first plate parts,, with these plate parts being bent substantially at right angles relative to the flat plate part,, so that the pair of second electrical wire accommodating slots,formed in the second plate parts,and the pair of first electrical wire accommodating slots,formed in the first plate parts,and,are arranged substantially at right angles.

Electrical terminal for terminating at least two wires therein

A hologram duplicating method and apparatus whereby a photosensitive material film is continuously and smoothly brought into close contact with the surface of a hologram original plate, and the film is effectively delaminated after a duplicating process. The apparatus includes a film supply part (31) for supplying a photosensitive material film (1), a film laminating part for successively laminating the supplied film (1) on a hologram original plate (35) with the film (1) being squeezed with a roller (46) from the upper side, a film delaminating part for successively delaminating the film (1) from the original plate (35) from one end thereof with the film (1) being pressed with the roller (46), and a film take-up part (43) for taking up the delaminated film. The film (1) can be laminated on the original plate (35) without trapping air bubbles, and the film (1) can be delaminated from the original plate (35) without causing peel unevenness such as undesired lines. Also disclosed is a hologram produced by the duplicating method.
