In an electronic circuit being provided with a plurality of circuit elements and performing a specified function, a plurality of specific circuit elements related to a circuit performing the specified function out of the plurality of circuit elements are composed of circuit elements changing their element parameters according to values indicated by control signals. The electronic circuit is provided with a plurality of holding circuits for holding a plurality of control signals to be given to the plurality of specific circuit elements. The values of the plurality of control signals which these holding circuits hold are changed by external or internal apparatuses according to a probabilistic searching technique (for example genetic algorithms or simulated annealing algorithms) so that the function of the electronic circuit satisfies designated specifications.

An apparatus for removing bubbles in paint comprises a sealed container having an upper section and a lower section divided by a plate having one or more slit-like through holes and a pressure reducing device connected to the lower section. A paint coating system includes the bubble removing apparatus, a tank for storing a new paint, a first pipe line to feed paint from the tank to the upper section of the sealed container, a curtain flow coater or a roll coater communicated with the lower section of the sealed container so as to receive paint without bubbles, and a vessel to collect paint which does not contribute to form a coating layer.

In apparatus for filling a container suitable for storage with radioactive solid wastes arising from atomic power plants or the like, a plasma arc is irradiated toward a portion of the wastes to melt the portion of the wastes; portions of the wastes are successively moved so as to be subjected to irradiation of the plasma arc to continuously melt the wastes; and the melts obtained by melting the wastes are permitted to flow down toward the bottom of the container.

A photovoltaic device including a plurality of amorphous silicon unit cells each having a p-i-n structure layered in succession on a substrate made of stainless steel. A transparent electrically conductive layer, for withdrawing a photoelectromotive force in cooperation with the electrically conductive substrate, is formed on the uppermost unit cell, so that rays of light may be incident upon the photovoltaic device from the uppermost unit cell. Preferably, the thickness of the unit cells closer to the light incidence surface is selected to be less than the thickness of the unit cells farther from the light incident surface. Each of the unit cells is structured such that the n type, i type and p type layers are disposed in the above described order from the light incidence surface in terms of the impurity type.
