Abstract: The present invention improves a method of bonding by welding a plurality of filter units each having a frame body made of a resin member so as to provide a filter unit panel having excellent pressure resistance. This filter unit panel is obtained by disposing a plurality of filter units so that the outer peripheral surfaces of adjacent filter units (100a) and (100b) are partially in contact with each other but at least a part of the upper surfaces (11) and/or the lower surfaces (12) of the adjacent filter units are spaced apart from each other, and then melting a bonding resin so as to cause the melted bonding resin to flow into a gap (15) between the spaced upper surfaces and/or a gap (15) between the spaced lower surfaces and to cure. The bonding resin is supplied from, for example, protruding portions (10a) and (10b) of the frame body. This welding method increases the bonding strength between the filter units and increases the pressure resistance thereof accordingly.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a comparison unit, a change unit, and a printing unit to perform variable printing in a form of a composite of a master page and a variable page. The comparison unit compares a color of the master page and a color of the variable page near a boundary line between the master page and the boundary page. In a case where the master page and the variable page are similar in color near the boundary line, the change unit changes the master page to another master page with a color that is not similar to the color of the variable page. The printing unit prints the another master page and the variable page in a composite form.

Abstract: An electron multiplier that can easily obtain characteristics according to a purpose is provided. By bonding a marginal portion 23 of an MCP 2 and a marginal portion 33 of an MCP 3 to each other via a conductive spacer layer 7, a gap 12 is formed between channel portions 22, 32. Therefore, when the electron multiplier is used for a purpose that requires a particularly high gain, by adjusting the thickness of the spacer layer 7, the gain can be increased by increasing the gap 12. In addition, when the electron multiplier is used for a purpose that requires an increase in gain as well as time characteristics, by adjusting the thickness of the spacer layer 7, the size of the gap 12 can be adjusted so that desired characteristics are obtained. Consequently, by only adjusting the thickness of the spacer layer 7, characteristics according to the purpose can be easily obtained.

Abstract: Provided is a filter unit in which an increase in pressure loss is suppressed despite the use of an injection-molded resin as a frame. This filter unit includes a pleated filter medium 1 and a frame 2 for supporting the filter medium 1. The frame 2 has inner and outer peripheries, each of which is rectangular in shape when viewed along an air flow path through the filter medium 1. In this filter unit, the filter medium 1 is fixed to the frame 2 with a peripheral portion of the filter medium 1 being embedded inside the frame 2. The pleated filter medium 1 has a value DIP of 0.25 or less. This value DIP is obtained by dividing the distance D between adjacent ridges of the pleats of the filter medium 1 by the height P of the pleats. The distance D has a minimum value d of at least 1 mm. The frame 2 has a length La longer than a length Lm.
