  • Patent number: 11892060
    Abstract: A frictional roller reducer having a sun roller; a ring roller; a plurality of intermediate rollers having rolling surfaces coming in rolling contact with the sun roller and the ring roller; the sun roller or the ring roller having a pair of roller elements including inclined surface portions on a circumferential surface coming in rolling with rolling surfaces, the inclined surface portions inclined in directions going toward the intermediate rollers in a radial direction as going away from each other in the axial direction; a pressing device pressing the pair of roller elements in directions going closer to each other, and an elastic member arranged between the pair of roller elements, the elastic member urging the pair of roller elements in directions going away from the rolling surface of the intermediate rollers.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20230072991
    Abstract: A charged particle beam device scans a specimen with a charged particle beam and generates an image based on a detected signal from a detector that detects a signal generated from the specimen based on the scan performed by the charged particle beam. The charged particle beam device includes: a blanker that performs blanking of the charged particle beam; an image acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of images by controlling the blanking during the scan performed by the charged particle beam, the plurality of images including pixels corresponding to a region of the specimen that is irradiated with the charged particle beam and pixels corresponding to a region of the specimen that is not irradiated with the charged particle beam; and an integrated image generation unit that generates an integrated image by integrating the plurality of acquired images.

  • Patent number: 11428278
    Abstract: A reverse input blocking clutch includes an input member, an output member, a pressed member, and an engaging member. When a rotational torque is inputted to the input member, the engaging member moves in a direction away from a pressed surface of the pressed member due to engagement with the input member, and transmits the rotational torque inputted to the input member to the output member due to engagement with the output member; and when rotational torque is reversely inputted to the output member, moves in the direction closer to the pressed surface based on engagement with the output member, and by being pressed against the pressed surface does not transmit the rotational torque reversely inputted to the output member to the input member, or transmits only part thereof to the input member due to engagement with the input member.
