A vapor phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of thin layers and coatings on substrates. The method and apparatus are useful in the fabrication of electronic devices, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), Bio-MEMS devices, micro and nano imprinting lithography, and microfluidic devices. The apparatus used to carry out the method provides for the addition of a precise amount of each of the reactants to be consumed in a single reaction step of the coating formation process. The apparatus provides for precise addition of quantities of different combinations of reactants during a single step or when there are a number of different individual steps in the coating formation process. The precise addition of each of the reactants in vapor form is metered into a predetermined set volume at a specified temperature to a specified pressure, to provide a highly accurate amount of reactant.

A magnetic recording medium including at least a disk substrate 1A, a magnetic recording layer 5 formed with a predetermined concavo-convex pattern on the disk substrate 1A, and a non-magnetic layer 6 filled into concave portions of the concavo-convex pattern, so as to have data track regions 20 and servo pattern regions 21. Due to the existence of concaves and convexes in the surface of each data track region 20, the foregoing problem is solved. On this occasion, arithmetical mean deviation of the assessed profile Ra of the surface of each data track region 20 is preferably not lower than 0.3 nm. The difference in surface level between each concave and each convex existing in the surface of the data track region 20 is preferably not larger than 6 nm.

An electrostatic actuator includes: a fixed driving electrode that is disposed on a silicon substrate; a movable driving electrode that is disposed so as to face the fixed driving electrode and approaches the fixed driving electrode with an electrostatic force generated between the movable driving electrode and the fixed driving electrode; and a pair of spacers that comes in contact with the movable driving electrode in an approaching state in which the fixed driving electrode and the movable driving electrode approach each other and forms a prescribed air gap between the fixed driving electrode and the movable driving electrode, wherein each of the spacers has a spacer electrode portion that comes in contact with the movable driving electrode via an insulator and has the same potential as one of the electrodes at least in the approaching state.

The invention provides a synchronization system and method for changing a gear. The invention relates to a synchronization system (10) for a change-speed gearbox comprising a synchronizing body (12) which is assigned to a gearbox shaft, and comprising a first and a second synchronizing ring (32, 34, 36, 38), which are assigned to a first and a second gear wheel (28, 30) respectively. Furthermore, the synchronizing ring (10) has a sliding sleeve (26) and at least one pressure piece (18), which is displaceably arranged on the synchronizing body (12) and is able to exert an axial compressive force on the corresponding synchronizing ring (32, 34, 36, 38). Moreover, the synchronizing ring (10) has a resilient actuating element (20), which acts between the sliding sleeve (26) and the pressure piece (18), a latching recess (50) for the neutral position and a ventilation contour (54) being provided on the sliding sleeve (26). The ventilation contour (54) can interact with the actuating element (20) in such a way that, when the sliding sleeve (26) is moved in order to engage with one of the gear wheels (28, 13), the pressure piece (18) is loaded away from the corresponding synchronizing ring (32, 34, 36, 38). The ventilation contour (54) has an axial length which is no more than twice the idle stroke of the sliding sleeve (26) between the neutral position and the position in which the corresponding synchronizing ring (32, 34, 36, 38) presses against a frictional surface assigned thereto.
