The present invention relates to current measurement apparatus. The current measurement apparatus comprises first and second measurement devices with each of the first and second measurement devices being operative to measure current in a respective one of a live conductor and a neutral conductor substantially simultaneously. The current measurement apparatus is operative to make plural different determinations in dependence on the substantially simultaneous current measurements.

A filet F is added to a portion constituting a corner portion C equal to or smaller than 90° in a crossing portion X of wiring patterns 58b, 58c and 58d, and a wiring pattern 58 is formed. Since the filet F is added, the wiring patterns are not made thin and are not disconnected in the crossing portion X. Further, since there is no stress concentrated to the crossing portion X, disconnection is not caused in the wiring patterns and no air bubbles are left between the crossing portion X of the wiring patterns and an interlayer resin insulating layer so that reliability of a printed wiring board is improved.

Provided is a printing and thermal activation device for a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet that is compact, lightweight, and simple in structure. The heat-sensitive adhesive device for a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet includes a thermal head capable of printing on a printable layer and thermal activation for a heat-sensitive adhesive layer. When the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is inserted, a platen roller and the thermal head are operated to transport the heat-sensitive adhesive sheet while printing on the printable layer. The heat-sensitive adhesive sheet is cut with a cutter unit at a predetermined position and then the cut sheet passes through a transporting roller pair and is guided to a reversing mechanism. The heat-sensitive adhesive sheet makes almost one rotation on an outer periphery of a reversing roller and is reversed, and then is transported by the transporting roller pair and the platen roller starting reverse rotation while the heat-sensitive adhesive layer is thermally activated with the thermal head.

An arrangement for handling a liquid metal for cooling revolving components of a radiation source based on a radiation-emitting plasma has the handling arrangement for the liquid metal comprises a reservoir of liquid metal in a vessel, a tempering device for adjusting the temperature moderately above the melting point of the metal, a pump unit for moving the liquid metal in circulation. The handling unit containing the reservoir and the pump unit is provided for transporting the metal into a separated source module via a feed pipe and a return pipe for guiding highly heated metal back from the source module into the reservoir. The return pipe is formed as a straight pipe slightly inclined to the reservoir to guide the heated metal back by action of gravity in a substantially laminar flow.

In a thermal recording material having an intermediate layer and a thermal recording layer that are laminated on a support in this order, the above intermediate layer contains a swellable starch and a pigment and is formed by applying onto the support a coating liquid containing the swellable starch and the pigment in the state of being dispersed in a dispersing medium composed of water as a main component, whereby a number of voids are formed in the intermediate layer and there can be provided a thermal recording material excellent in thermal response and head-matching property.

A method for making light emitting diode, the method includes the following steps. First, a substrate having an epitaxial growth surface is provided. Second, a carbon nanotube layer is suspended above the epitaxial growth surface. Third, a first semiconductor layer, an active layer and a second semiconductor layer are grown on the epitaxial growth surface in that order. Fourth, a portion of the second semiconductor layer and the active layer is etched to expose a portion of the first semiconductor layer. Fifth, a first electrode is prepared on the first semiconductor layer and a second electrode is prepared on the second semiconductor layer.
