Abstract: Thin film AMA in an optical projection system and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The thin film AMA has a substrate having electrical wiring and a connecting terminal, an actuator, and a reflecting member. The actuator has a supporting layer, a bottom electrode, an active layer, and a top electrode. The supporting layer has a first portion attached beneath the bottom electrode and a second portion exposed out of bottom electrode. The reflecting member is formed on the second portion of supporting layer. The supporting layer tilts with the actuator. Hence, the thin film AMA has much enhanced light efficiency of the right reflected by the reflecting member by minimizing the area of the actuator and maximizing the area of the reflecting member, so the quality of a picture projected onto a screen is greatly increased.

Abstract: The thin film AMA has a substrate, an actuator, a common line, and a reflecting member. The substrate has an electrical wiring and a connecting terminal and the actuator has a supporting layer, a bottom electrode, a top electrode, and an active layer. The common line is formed on a portion of actuator and is connected to top electrode. The electrical wiring and connecting terminal may not be damaged because actuator is formed on a portion of substrate adjacent to the portion where electrical wiring and connecting terminal are formed. The voltage drop of a second signal can be minimized because common line is formed thickly on a portion of actuator, so a sufficient second signal is applied to top electrode. The flatness of reflecting member may be enhanced because reflecting member is formed on a second sacrificial layer.

Abstract: A plug cutter has a main body portion having a longitudinal axis, shank portion extending axially from one end of the main body, and a plurality of blades extending axially from an opposite end of the main body. The blades are formed so that at least a portion of the inner surfaces thereof have a measure of radial relief with respect to the leading edges of the blades. A radial distance from the axis of rotation of the plug cutter to the leading edge of each blade is always less than the radial distance from the axis of rotation to any other portion of the inner surface. Accordingly, when a plug is being cut with the plug cutter, a gap is defined between an outer surface of the plug and the radially relieved portion of the inner surfaces.

Abstract: A light-alloy wheel is cast using an apparatus wherein cores are moved by a cotter via a sliding mechanism. A sliding portion is isolated from molten metal so that locking at the sliding portion is unlikely to occur. The sliding mechanism can be of a small size and is disposed in an interior of a mold top segment with a relatively large gap between the cotter and the mold top segment. The gap assures a good heat dissipation from the mold top segment. In a molding method conducted using the apparatus, the cores may be positioned at a retracted position and extended before the molten metal has solidified to thereby remove blow holes in a cast wheel.

Abstract: A washing machine which can immerse articles in a washing liquid has a spin tub formed at a side wall thereof with a pair of elongated slots, and a spin tub cover assembly for immersing the articles in the washing liquid. The elongated slots are longitudinally formed along the whole length of the spin tub. The spin tub cover assembly moves along the elongated slots. The spin tub cover assembly includes an annular frame, first and second coupling pins for movably coupling the annular frame to the spin tub, and a cover plate hinged to the annular frame. The cover plate has a latch which is detachably engaged with the annular frame. The washing machine can immerse the articles into the washing liquid by means of the spin tub cover assembly, so the articles widely collide with the liquid flows within the spin tub, thereby improving the washing effect.

Abstract: Disclosed is a loading device of a video cassette recorder for draining static electricity of a cassette, which includes a cassette holder for moving a cassette into the video cassette recorder and a static electricity draining member for draining the static electricity of the cassette when the cassette holder moves. The static electricity of the cassette is primarily removed by a first static electricity draining member when the cassette is moved into the video cassette recorder, and is secondarily removed by a second static electricity draining member when the cassette is lowered to a base. Because of perfect elimination of the static electricity of the cassette to be loaded, there are advantages that a perfect loading of the cassette is performed and a screen quality is improved.

Abstract: A gas turbine combustion chamber which has primary, secondary and tertiary combustion zones in flow series has a secondary mixing duct and a tertiary mixing duct. The secondary and tertiary mixing ducts reduce in cross-sectional area from their intakes to their outlet apertures to provide an accelerating flow through the mixing ducts to prevent the formation of recirculating zones. Fuel injectors have fuel discharge apertures downstream of any recirculating zones formed at the intakes. The fuel injectors extend across a major portion of the width of the ducts to effectively subdivide the ducts over at least part of the streamwise length of the ducts. The portions of the fuel injectors within the ducts are oval shaped in cross-section and the portions outside the ducts are aerofoil shaped in cross-section. The fuel injectors reduce in dimension perpendicular to the widthwise direction of the duct.

Abstract: After molten resin is injected into a mold cavity, an inert gas is sent from an inert gas supply device into the molten resin through a change-over valve and a gas nozzle device so that the molten resin is injection molded. At the same time, a tub is filled with part of the molten resin through a tub communication path. Thereafter, a burr portion of the injection-molded resin is bored using a boring punch so as to make a space within the hollow resin body communicate with the atmosphere. Next, the change-over valve is switched to send a cooling gas from a cooling gas supply device to the hollow space within the hollow resin body so as to cool the injection-molded resin.
