  • Patent number: 8308353
    Abstract: An ear thermometer which includes a temperature detection element and infrared detection element arranged near the opening portion of a probe achieves a reduction in manufacturing cost while reducing the influence of thermal shock. This invention provides an ear thermometer incorporating, in a probe, a temperature detection element to detect an environmental temperature and an infrared detection element to detect infrared radiation emitted from a temperature measurement region in an earhole. The probe includes an end face portion having an opening in its distal end, an inner surface portion of a hollow cylindrical member, and an inwardly protruding engaging portion. A detection element housing is fixed to close the opening of the probe and to form an air layer between the detection element housing and the probe.

  • Publication number: 20090277735
    Abstract: A rotary damper is provided so that air incorporated into a housing during assembly is, not excessively compressed, whereby a generation of a peculiar sound due to the air incorporated into the housing can be prevented even though the rotor rotates in both directions, and so that the air is stopped and captured in a fixed place whereby influence on the generated torque can be reduced, and irregularity of the torque can be reduced progressively. A rotary damper includes a housing (11, 51), silicon oil housed inside the housing (11, 51), a rotor 31 housed inside the housing (11, 51), and having a shaft member (32) projecting from the housing (11, 51) and having a resistance member (36) moving through the silicon oil (21) inside the housing (11, 51), and an O-ring (61) for preventing leakage of the silicon oil (21) from between the shaft member (32) and the housing (51). A circumferential groove (54) is provided on an inner face of the housing (51) facing the resistance member (36).
