Disclosed is a susceptor which achieves uniform temperature distribution of a wafer placed on the susceptor, and also disclosed is a substrate processing apparatus provided with the susceptor. An annular recess 12a is formed in an intermediate portion between the central portion and the peripheral portion of a wafer support surface of the susceptor 12. Due to the provision of the recess, the substrate heating effect by thermal radiation from the susceptor is suppressed in the intermediate portion. The geometrical dimension of the recess is determined taking the chamber internal pressure into consideration.

The battery pack includes plural battery cells 1, and insulating separators 10 disposed between adjacent battery cells 1, where the plurality of battery cells 1 are disposed in a stacked configuration with a prescribed gap between adjacent battery cells 1. A separator 10 has a plural gas channels that enable the flow of cooling gas. The gas channels have cooling gas entranceways and exit ways, which open at the sides of the battery block formed by the stacked battery cells 1. A separator 10 has cut sections formed to position the entranceways and exit ways of the gas channels inward from the sides of the battery block. This allows cooling gas near entranceways and exit ways to be smoothly introduced to, and exhausted from the gas channels, and reduces cooling gas pressure losses in those regions.

The invention provides a cooking utensil. The cooking utensil comprises an outer pot, a temperature controller, an elastic part and a heating disc. Guide holes are formed in the outer pot, the temperature controller is put in the outer pot, supporting legs are arranged at the bottom of a shell of the temperature controller, and the supporting legs penetrate through the guide holes. The elastic part is arranged between the shell and the outer pot, and the upper end and the lower end of the elastic part abut against the shell and the inner bottom wall of the outer pot respectively. The heating disc is arranged in the outer pot and covers the temperature controller, a receding hole is formed in the heating disc, and the top of the temperature controller can protrude out of the receding hole.The supporting legs make contact with the guide holes tangentially, and the sizes of the cross sections of the guide holes are larger than those of the cross sections of the supporting legs. Accordingto the cooking utensil, the supporting legs make contact with the guide holes tangentially, and the sizes of the cross sections of the guide holes are larger than those of the cross sections of the supporting legs, it is effectively avoided that a main temperature controller greatly rubs with an outer pot in the moving process, so that the main temperature controller is jammed, thus, the problemof jamming of the temperature controller is conveniently and effectively solved, and the cooking utensil is simple in structure and beneficial for popularization.

A control system for a variable-cylinder internal combustion engine, which is capable of attaining excellent fuel economy by executing a partial-cylinder operation mode as long as possible, while suppressing vibration and noise during the partial-cylinder operation mode. A control system switches the operation mode of a variable-cylinder internal combustion engine between an all-cylinder operation mode in which all of a plurality of cylinders (#1 to #3, and #4 to #6) are put in operation, and a partial-cylinder operation mode in which some (#1 to #3) of the plurality of cylinders are deactivated. During the partial-cylinder operation mode, the control system 1 calculates a degree-of-continuation parameter SDTQCSNH indicative of a degree of continuation of a state where detected load TQECMDF on the engine is within a predetermined range of load between a first reference value TQCSNH and a second reference value TQCSEH smaller than the first reference value (steps 10 to 13), and determines whether or not the operation mode should be switched to the all-cylinder operation mode, based on the degree-of-continuation parameter SDTQCSNH (step 14).
