Patent number: 6346075Abstract: A piston of an air and water supply valve in an endoscope comprises: a base cylinder; a water supply switching piston; and an air supply switching piston, which is inserted in the water supply switching piston. An air supply button functioning as a check valve is attached to the top end of the air supply switching piston, and air is supplied by slightly pressing the air supply button and water is supplied by deeply pressing the air supply button. If liquid flows back, the air supply button functions as the check valve to prevent the backflow from flowing into the base cylinder from the air supply switching piston.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2000Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Assignee: Fuji Photo Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kaoru Arai, Hiroshi Kuboya, Mitsuo Kondo

Patent number: 6221561Abstract: A diffusion plate includes a plurality of superimposed basic patterns, each having a large number of microstructures. The microstructures are located in two dimensional periodic arrangements, and lattice vectors, corresponding to the periodic arrangement of the microstructures, vary in accordance with the pattern. The invention also discloses a method for manufacturing a master die for such a diffusion plate, and a focusing screen using the diffusion plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1999Date of Patent: April 24, 2001Assignee: Asahi Kogaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Hiroshi Kuboya, Toshiharu Takahashi, Makoto Iki, Moriyasu Shirayanagi, Koichi Maruyama, Teruaki Hiyamuta, Takayuki Sensui
