Abstract: In a gap retention member to be disposed between a pair of glass plates when a circumference of a gap formed between the pair of glass plates with their plate faces opposing each other is to be sealed to maintain the gap under a depressurized state, the gap retention member includes hard portions to contact the pair of glass plates respectively and a soft portion disposed between the hard portions and having a lower hardness than the hard portions, the soft portion being more susceptible to deformation based on a shearing force effective in the direction along the opposing faces of the glass plates than deformation based on a compressive force effective in a thickness direction perpendicular to the opposing faces of the glass plates.

Abstract: A drilling device having an oil supply tank disposed at a position where the oil supply tank is less likely to collide with surrounding objects. This device includes a fixing member (12) fixed to a workpiece, a column (14) extending upward from the fixing member, a tubular slide unit (16) that is slidable along the column, a tool body (18) disposed on the tubular slide unit, and an oil supply tank (20) provided between the tool body and the fixing member and removably fixed to the tubular slide unit. The tool body is provided with a cutting oil supply passage having a cutting oil inlet (109) disposed toward the fixing member, while the oil supply tank is provided with a cutting oil outlet disposed upward. The tool body is displaced upward on the column and the oil supply tank is moved close to the tool body from the lower side of the tool body, whereby the cutting oil outlet of the oil supply tank is connected to the cutting oil inlet of the tool body.

Abstract: Crystals, amorphous substances, salts, and hydrates of a salt of methyl N-[3-(6,7-dimethoxy-2-methylaminoquinazolin-4-yl)phenyl]terephthalamic acid having PDE4 inhibitory action are provided. These compounds are useful for treating allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Abstract: There are provided image pickup devices capable of significantly increasing production yield and ensuring long-term reliability and a method for manufacturing the image pickup devices.

Abstract: A compound represented by the following formula (I), salt thereof, or hydrate thereof, can effectively relieve itch caused by atopic disease or the like: wherein R represents hydroxyl, C1-6 alkoxy optionally substituted with C1-6 alkoxy, or amino optionally substituted with C1-6 alkyl.

Abstract: A drilling device prevents recurrence of an overload condition after occurrence of the overload condition, thereby improving operability and safety in the drilling device. A motor for rotating a drill is connected to an AC power source through a motor control unit, a current detector, and a power switch. A magnet is also connected to the AC power source through the power switch and a full-wave rectifier. The motor control unit rotationally drives the motor on the basis of a signal sent from a main control unit according to a state in which a motor start switch is on. The main control unit controls the motor control unit to gradually reduce a supply voltage to the motor when the motor becomes overloaded, to gradually increase the voltage to the normal power supply condition when the overload condition is vanished, and to stop power supply to the motor if the overload condition continues for a predetermined period.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to prevent recurrence of an overload condition after occurrence of the overload condition, thereby improving operability and safety in a drilling device. A motor 12 for rotating a drill is connected to an AC power source 10 through a motor control unit 28, a current detector 30, and a power switch 36. A magnet 16 is also connected to the AC power source 10 through the power switch 36 and a full-wave rectifier 18. The motor control unit 28 rotationally drives the motor on the basis of a signal sent from a main control unit according to a state in which a motor start switch 38 is on. The main control unit 14 controls the motor control unit 28 to gradually reduce a supply voltage to the motor 12 when the motor 12 becomes overloaded, to gradually increase the voltage to the normal power supply condition when the overload condition is vanished, and to stop power supply to the motor 12 if the overload condition continues for a predetermined period.

Abstract: A heat insulating and shielding glass panel that is capable of maintaining heat shielding performance even if heat treatment is carried out during manufacture. The heat insulating and shielding glass panel 1 is comprised of a pair of glass plates 11 and 12 that are hermetically joined together at their outer peripheral edges via a sealing frame 13 that fluidizes at low temperature, such that respective one surfaces of the glass plates 11, 12 face each other and a hollow layer 14 is formed between the glass plates; and pillars 15 that are substantially cylindrical spacers that are inserted into the hollow layer 14 as atmospheric pressure supporting members and determine the gap between the glass plates 11 and 12. A low-emission transparent multilayer 17 having an emittance of not more than 0.1 is coated by sputtering on each of surfaces 11a and 12a of the respective glass plates 11 and 12 facing the hollow layer 14 so as to realize high heat insulation performance.
