Patent number: 8317572Abstract: The invention aims at providing a method for manufacturing a glass substrate for a magnetic disc capable of eliminating undulations of an outer peripheral end face of a glass substrate in a short processing time, and obtaining high roundness. In a method for manufacturing a disc-like glass substrate for a magnetic disc, the method includes a forming step of pressing a rotating grindstone against an outer peripheral end face while the glass substrate is rotated, thereby forming an outer peripheral end. In the forming step, processing is performed using a first condition (S106) on which first undulations are formed and a second condition (S108) on which second undulations having a different wavelength from the first undulations are formed.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Hoya CorporationInventors: Masaaki Ueda, Ryuichi Kashima, Seiji Sakaguchi

Patent number: 8271135Abstract: An apparatus for holding a medical device has an arm unit equipped with, for example, a polyarticular arm, which holds the medical device such as endoscope movably in the space. Additionally to a determination unit and a controller, the holding apparatus has an operation unit equipped with a plurality of operation members with which an operator's operation causes the arm unit to be moved spatially. The determination unit determines whether or not operator's operations at the plurality of operation members corresponds to an improper state deviating from a properly operated state in which at least two predetermined operation members have been operated within a predetermined period of time which is set to measure simultaneity for operations. If it is determined that the operation is in the improper state, the controller prohibits the arm unit from moving. As long as the operation is proper, the arm unit can be moved.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Olympus CorporationInventors: Keiji Shioda, Satoshi Otsuka, Masaaki Ueda, Kazuhito Nakanishi
