To provide a semiconductor device capable of being easily subjected to a physical test without deteriorating characteristics. According to a measuring method of a semiconductor device in which an element layer provided with a test element including a terminal portion is sealed with first and second films having flexibility, the first film formed over the terminal portion is removed to form a contact hole reaching the terminal portion; the contact hole is filled with a resin containing a conductive material; heating is carried out after arranging a wiring substrate having flexibility over the resin with which filling has been performed so that the terminal portion and the wiring substrate having flexibility are electrically connected via the resin containing a conductive material; and a measurement is performed.

Since disruptive forces can be continuously exerted upon a rotor during a pulsatile flow through a pump with a magnetically mounted rotor (permanent magnets and addition control current coils), it is necessary to adjust position i.e. modify axial rotor position very quickly. The control current should only result in small amounts of losses. According to the invention, the current is pulse-width modulated by the control current coils by means of a set value predetermined by a controller which is arranged downstream from a position sensing system. If the set value is high, it is switched to a higher voltage level and the real value of the position sensing system is stored for a defined period of time, respectively beginning with the switching flank of the control current, and the position sensing system is disconnected during said period of time.

Ejection testing of a clear ink ejecting section is carried out easily. A first test pattern, which is used for testing ejection of a color ink ejecting section, is formed by ejecting a color ink onto a medium from the color ink ejecting section for ejecting color ink; and a second test pattern, which is used for testing ejection of a clear ink ejecting section, is formed by ejecting a clear ink from the clear ink ejecting section for ejecting clear ink to form a clear ink pattern on the medium, and ejecting a color ink from the color ink ejecting section to form a color ink pattern that overlaps the clear ink pattern. The resolution of the color ink pattern is different from the resolution of the first test pattern.

A medium writing apparatus obtains information to be written onto a recording medium, converts the information into a suitable writable format, and then writes the converted information onto the recording medium. An ID obtaining section obtains a medium ID from the recording medium, or through an input by the user. The medium ID and information indicating the place of the written information are sent to a server, and then stored as index information correlating them with each other. When the information written onto the recording medium is to be used at a later timing, the medium ID is identified, and the index information is obtained from the server. Therefore, the original information can be obtained so as to be easily reprocessed or reused.
