Abstract: One or more holes are formed in a first diaphragm. A second diaphragm is arranged on a sound emitting side of the first diaphragm. A driver includes a magnetic circuit and a voice coil, and vibrates the first and second diaphragms. The second diaphragm includes a rigidity-reinforcing portion in which a rigidity of the second diaphragm is reinforced at a position facing at least one hole of the one or more holes.

Abstract: A speaker includes a vibrating body having an annular valley portion recessed rearward and a diffuser having an annular or arcuate base part, which is positioned so that an end of the base part on the side of the vibrating body is opposed to the valley portion. The base part is provided, at the end on the side of the vibrating body, with one or more recessed parts from which distance to the vibrating body is larger than a distance of the other portion of the end to the vibrating body, each of the recessed parts being formed in any one of a sine-wave shape, a triangular-wave shape and an arc shape.

Abstract: A painting robot system includes a robot and a spray gun unit. The robot includes a plurality of robot arms and a drive shaft member disposed on a distal end robot arm of the multiple robot arms, the drive shaft member being rotatable about a distal end drive axis. The spray gun unit is mounted on the robot arm. The spray gun unit includes a support member fixed to the distal end robot arm, guide members disposed on the support member, a plurality of spray guns disposed on the support member, and a linkage mechanism connecting between the movable spray guns and the drive shaft member. A spacing between at least one pair of adjacent spray guns can be varied via the linkage mechanism by rotating the drive shaft member of the robot.

Abstract: There are provided novel antitussive agents different from existing antitussive agents or those under development. Antitussive agents containing morphinan derivatives represented by compound 6: ##STR1## or pharmacologically acceptable acid-addition salts thereof and those derivatives or their salts as effective components.The antitussive agents according to the present invention have strong antitussive effects as highly selective .kappa.-opioid agonists, and may thus be applied as useful antitussive agents in the prophylaxis and treatment of coughing in a patient in need thereof.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising the steps of providing a first base plate of a resin and a second base plate of a resin, providing at least one of the base plates with an electrically connecting terminal, forming an opening in a base plate of the base plates opposite the electrically connecting terminal when the base plates are bonded to each other, providing at least one of the base plates with a seal, bonding the base plates to each other by means of the seal, providing a space between the base plates with a liquid crystal, and separating the base plates on a line adjoining an edge of the opening. The opening protects the connecting terminal from being physically damaged and separated at the separation step to improve the production yield of the display.

Abstract: A method of efficiently orienting liquid crystal molecules on an orientation film formed on one surface of a film substrate which constitutes part of a liquid crystal display panel. In this method, the film substrate is conveyed between a rubbing roll and a backup roll disposed opposite the rubbing roll such that the orientation film faces the rubbing roll, that the rubbing and backup rolls are rotated in contact with the film substrate to thereby rub the orientation film formed on the film substrate for orienting the liquid crystal molecules. Thus, the orientation film formed on the film substrate is continuously rubbed while the film substrate is being conveyed to thereby achieve efficient rubbing.
