Abstract: A superimpose-plate is put on a focusing glass, on which a subject image obtained through the photographing optical system is formed. The superimpose-plate and the focusing glass are provided in an incident opening of a hollow pentagonal mirror. The superimpose-plate comprises a plurality of micro-prisms that are formed on the superimpose-plate. Each of the micro-prisms shows a triangle in a cross-section. The vertical angle of the triangle is identical in each of the micro-prisms. A ridgeline of each of the micro-prisms is parallel to the right-left direction of the picture plane of the view finder.

Abstract: A flash dryer of cut tobacco comprises a drying duct (16) for connecting a feeding section (14) of cut tobacco to a tangential separator (18). The drying duct (16) has an upstream-side duct portion (16a) extending straight from the feeding section (14) at an elevation angle ranging from 30° to 60° and a downstream-side duct portion (16b) curving upward in a convex shape. A dry gas that flows through the drying duct (16) may contain superheated steam.

The light guide device comprises a light guide with reflecting surfaces of which are parabolic in shape. The LEDs are located substantially at focal points of the parabolic reflecting surfaces so that the segment in a diffusing state on the display panel can be illuminated in a bright and uniform manner.

Abstract: A retinal disease analyzer processes data obtained by processing a color retinal image and measured visual field data provided by a perimeter to detect the condition of the optic disc and defects in the nerve fiber bundles for the clinical analysis of the condition of the optic disc and the defects in the nerve fiber bundles, and combines detected information on a fundus coordinate system taking into consideration the arrangement of the nerve fiber bundles for the comprehensive analysis of the condition and the degree of progress of glaucoma. The detected information is analyzed on the basis of the distribution pattern of the nerve fiber bundles or the corresponding fundus coordinate system to integrate all the data for analysis. The condition and the degree of progress of glaucoma can be determined on the basis of the integrated data.

Abstract: A perimeter capable of objectively adding useful testing points without relying on an operator's intuitional judgment, and capable of performing a reliable test of the field of vision without imposing a useless burden on a subject. The perimeter includes a CPU 11 and a display portion 18. The CPU 11 forms data, which include estimated values, on a visual field characteristic distribution by making an interpolation between tested values of a subject's eye which are obtained by exhibiting a plurality of targets. The display portion 18 displays an unreliable distribution WP indicating a domain estimated to be distant from the tested values on the basis of data on the visual field characteristic distribution and data, which include the tested values, on a distribution of an estimated neighborhood of the tested values.
