Abstract: The case has an opening and a wall section with a hole provided on the wall section and the wall section forms an inner space. The case also has a recessed area surrounding the hole. The piezoelectric diaphragm is supported around its periphery on top of the case so that an enclosure, including the hole, is formed within the inner space. An acoustic resistance sheet is bonded on to the wall section with the adhesive that is filled into the recessed area to close off the hole. With this structure, defective damping caused by seeping of the adhesive is prevented.

Abstract: An edge protector for an electrolysis electrode, has an outer surface shape in the central portion thereof which reduces the thickness in that portion to improve uniformity of cooling, and thereby reduce stress cracking as a result of the reduced buildup of thermal stresses. The outer surfaces may be inclined planes or suitable curved shapes that converge from an outer jaw toward an inner jaw. In one embodiment an edge protector includes a sealing member made of a sealing material such as silicone rubber, either integrally formed with the inner jaws, or affixed after forming. A spreader bar has a shape which enables clamping of the edge protector onto a mother blank without excessive expansion of the outer jaw, thereby lengthening service life, and easing installation. A tapered spreader bar for end insertion, and embodiments of spreader bars having flattened surfaces for edgewise insertion and then rotation for tightening are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides a ferroelectric nonvolatile memory that utilizes ferroelectric properties and is able to operate correctly at lower voltage. A memory storage cell of the memory has the structure wherein a N+ type drain (24) and a N+ type source (26) is provided for a P type well (14) created in the substrate. A film (22) of high dielectric material spans the space (28) between the drain (24) and the source (26). A conductive metalization (20) overlies the film (22), a film (18) of ferroelectric material overlies the conductive metalization (20) and a metalization 16 overlies the film (18).

Abstract: A data imprinting device for a camera has a light source, a diaphragm member, and an optical member mounted on support structures integrally formed in a body of the camera. Another embodiment of the invention includes first and second optical members for imprinting data at two respective locations, upon a film, corresponding to full size and panorama size modes of operation. A shutter slides to obstruct emergent light from one of the first and second optical member thus disabling it from imprinting. The first and second optical members are integrally formed in a bracket structure which is mounted in a body of the camera. Embodiments includes the first and second optical members having emergent planes equidistant from the film. The first and second optical elements have incident planes either offset in a direction parallel with the film or perpendicular to it.
