In a closed system culture vessel to be used in an automated culture apparatus, some of the ports perform both liquid supply and gas supply functions. In order to make the high-frequency power amplifier module small in size, a substrate-side bonding electrode electrically connected to a wire set at a fixed reference electric potential is place at a location farther from a side of the semiconductor chip than a substrate-side output electrode electrically connected to an output wire. The TONID also assists the host for those message packets that are chosen for processing by host software layers. Upon submission, claim information is converted to generic messages and sent to the interface engine. According to a further embodiment of the invention, improved multipass SHG is provided by the use of an inverting self-imaging telescope in combination with a wedged phasor.
