Publication number: 20090202190Abstract: When light is made incident to an optical waveguide path 14 formed through a main body 12 composed of silver (Ag) that is a plasmon active medium, surface plasmon is generated on a definition face 55 of the optical waveguide path 14 (including a fine aperture 16). Thus, the intensity of the light propagating in the optical waveguide path 14 is strengthened as the light propagates toward the fine aperture 16. In addition, a distal end 51 of a first protrusive piece 13a is more protrusive as compared with a distal end 52 of a second protrusive piece 13b. Thus, in a distal end part of a projection 13, the light is focused in the vicinity of the first protrusive piece 13a based on an intensity distribution of an electric field at the distal end part. Thus, the light having seeped out from the fine aperture 16 is restricted from spreading in a polarizing direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2005Publication date: August 13, 2009Applicant: GIFU UNIVERSITYInventors: Kazuo Tanaka, Masahiro Tanaka

Patent number: 7427818Abstract: A relaxor ferroelectric solid solution single crystal is capable of making transitions, at temperatures below the Curie temperature, between a first state which has a high permittivity and blocks optical transmission and a second state which has a low permittivity and allows optical transmission. The relaxor ferroelectric solid solution single crystal undergoes a transition to the second state if an electric field above a threshold is applied thereto in the first state. The relaxor ferroelectric solid solution single crystal undergoes a transition to the first state if heated to or above the Curie temperature in the second state.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Gifu UniversityInventors: Naohiko Yasuda, Hidehiro Ohwa, Makoto Iwata

Publication number: 20080163823Abstract: A method for screening for useful dog candidates comprises a step of investigating the genotype of the allele in exon 1 or intron 2 of dog dopamine receptor D4 gene, and a step of selecting a dog with genetic aptitudes beneficial to people by making the selection based on that genotype. The step of investigating the genotype comprises a step of amplifying the allele using a pair of PCR primers that bond in the vicinity of both terminals of the allele, and a step of determining the genotype of the allele based on the lengths of the PCR products obtained by that step. A dog having the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 5 for at least one of the alleles in exon 1, or a dog having the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 9 for at least one of the alleles in intron 2, is useful as a seeing-eye dog or other service dog.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2007Publication date: July 10, 2008Applicant: GIFU UNIVERSITYInventors: Miho MURAYAMA, Shin'ichi ITO

Patent number: 7286688Abstract: A mobile unit moves on a reference plane. The mobile unit has an object detection apparatus for detecting an object on the reference plane. The object detection apparatus includes a camera, a mirror, and a computer. The mirror cuts an image received by the camera such that the camera receives an image that is divided into a reference plane image and an object image. The reference plane image contains the reference plane. The object image contains the object and does not contain the reference plane. Therefore, the distance measuring apparatus can easily separate the region including the object and the region including no object, and accurately detect the distance to the object.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2004Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: Gifu UniversityInventors: Kazuhiko Yamamoto, Kunihito Kato, Ayami Iwata
