The present invention reduces the effective dielectric constant of the interlayer insulating film while inhibiting the decrease of the reliability of the semiconductor device, which otherwise is caused by a moisture absorption. The bars are made by combining the second solid mass phase to a first continuous phase wherein the hardness of the second phase is at least twice the hardness of noodles forming the continuous phase. A phase-changing signal from the quadrature generator and a delay signal respectively from the delay cell are inputted into the voltage controller at the same time so that a control voltage inputted into the delay cell to control a delay time of the delay signal is generated. The three-dimensional location may be determined according to a depth map corresponding to the point. It may be preferred that the high pressure housing is a standard, ASME certified, reverse osmosis or water purification pressure housing or vessel and that the degassing cartridge is a self-contained, hollow-fiber membrane cartridge adapted to fit in the RO high pressure housing. Each nozzle includes a chamber having an input aperture adapted to receive ink into the chamber and an output aperture through which ink is ejected from the chamber.
