Abstract: A module drive device that includes: a movable-side member that includes a module holder configured to hold an optical module that includes a lens body, a substrate member, and an image sensor that is mounted on an upper surface of the substrate member so as to face the lens body in an optical axis direction; a fixed-side member mounted so as not to be movable relative to a heat dissipation member that dissipates heat generated by the image sensor; a driver that moves the movable-side member with respect to the fixed-side member by utilizing a plurality of shape-memory alloy wires provided between the fixed-side member and the movable-side member; and a biasing unit for biasing the module holder to a side of the heat dissipation member that faces a lower surface of the substrate member.

Abstract: A lens driving apparatus includes a fixed member, a lens holding member having a tubular part capable of holding a lens body adhered thereto with an adhesive, and an actuator configured to move the lens holding member with respect to the fixed member, wherein the lens holding member is formed of synthetic resin in which one or more metal adherends are embedded, wherein the metal adherends each have both an embedded part embedded in the tubular part and an exposed part exposed on an inner surface of the tubular part, and are configured such that the exposed part serves as a portion bonded and fixed to the lens body, and wherein at least one of the metal adherends is disposed at a position corresponding to a weld line formed when the lens holding member is molded.

Abstract: A lens driving apparatus includes a lens holding member configured to hold a lens body, a base member having an opening penetrating in a vertical direction thereof, the opening being at a position corresponding to the lens body, and an actuator configured to move the lens holding member relative to the base member, and a supporting member configured to support the base member, wherein the supporting member includes a base part disposed beneath the base member, and a tubular part protruding upward from an inner edge of the base part and disposed inside the opening, and a foreign matter capturing member having adhesiveness is disposed at a rim of the tubular part.

Abstract: An optical component driving apparatus includes a base member, an optical component holding member, a cover member having a top plate facing the base member in the vertical direction, with the optical component holding member interposed therebetween, the cover member having an upper outer peripheral wall part including upper lateral plates extending downward from an outer edge of the top plate, and shape memory alloy wires, wherein the fixed member includes a case member with an open top configured to house the base member, wherein the case member has a bottom plate arranged at a bottom of the base member and a lower outer peripheral wall part including lower lateral plates extending upward from an outer edge of the bottom plate, and wherein the lower lateral plates are positioned between the shape memory alloy wires and the upper lateral plates constituting the upper outer peripheral wall part.

Abstract: A lens driving device includes a fixed member including a base member; a lens holder including a cylindrical portion configured to hold a lens body; and a plurality of shape memory alloy wires configured to move the lens holder with respect to the fixed member. The fixed member includes a fixed contact that forms a stopper configured to restrict movement of the lens holder. The lens holder includes an elastic portion formed of a material that is softer than that of a synthetic resin material forming the cylindrical portion of the lens holder. The elastic portion includes a movable contact that faces the fixed contact of the stopper so as to be able to contact the fixed contact of the stopper.

Abstract: A pressurizing pre-impregnating die head for a fiber reinforced plastic sheet machine is provided. The die head includes a body; at least one group of fiber channels arranged in a longitudinal hole-through manner in a middle of the body, and a fiber yarn conveyed in the fiber channel. The body includes a feeding port and discharging ports, which communicate with each other. The discharging ports are located in outer sides of the fiber channel. Thermoplastic base materials in a molten state are paved on two sides of the fiber yarn. The thermoplastic base materials may be paved on surfaces of the two sides of the fiber yarn when being extruded.

Abstract: A sample rack transport apparatus for transporting a sample rack to a sample analyser, comprising: a bidirectional transmission track for bidirectionally transmitting a sample rack without passing through the sample analyser; a feed channel in parallel with the bidirectional transmission track, wherein the sample rack may be delivered from the bidirectional transmission track to the feed channel and to the sample analyser; an unloading cache region located between the bidirectional transmission track and the feed channel, the unloading cache region being used for storing the sample tack; and an unloading mechanism for delivering the sample rack in the feed channel to the unloading cache region for storage, or delivering the sample rack stored in the unloading cache region to the bidirectional transmission track. Also provided are a sample analysis device and a sample analysis system using the sample rack transport apparatus.
