Abstract: A linear actuator is provided that has a configuration capable of inhibiting contact between an inner core and a plate spring that is connected to the inner core and an outer core, and which is realized by a configuration that is easy to assemble. A stator is arranged in an opening section of a through-hole in the inner core, and has a spacer through which a shaft passes. An outer frame section of the plate spring is connected to the outer core, and a fixed section of the plate spring is connected to the inner core through the spacer in a state in which the shaft passes therethrough.

Abstract: A vulcanization control method and a vulcanization control system are provided that are capable of preventing insufficient vulcanization while shortening a vulcanization time and obtaining an optimal vulcanization time instantly, even when a simple analysis model is used. Data (Xi) of predetermined types of vulcanization-affecting factors (X) are input into a computation device (2) by an input device (6) before vulcanizing a green tire (G). Using the input data (Xi), a change in temperature distribution of a tire cross section over time is calculated with a one-dimensional thermal conduction model for a tire cross-section that passes through a vulcanization rate-limiting section. On the basis of the calculation results, a vulcanization time Tc is instantly calculated. Upon calculating the vulcanization time Tc, a safety time Ts set on the basis of each vulcanization-effecting factor (X) is shortened on the basis of the input data (Xi) of the individual vulcanization-affecting factors (X).

Abstract: A camera platform system 1 has a camera 11 that takes an image of an object to generate a shot image, camera platforms 12 and 13 that rotate the camera around a pan axis and a tilt axis, and image processors 4, 5, and 6 that generate a display image based on the shot image. When the camera passes a predetermined angle position to rotate around the tilt axis, the image processor generates a first display image corresponding to an image formed by rotating the shot image by an angle larger than 0 degree and smaller than 180 degrees around the pan axis at the predetermined angle position before generating a second display image corresponding to an image formed by rotating the shot image by 180 degrees around the pan axis.

The frame member has a transversely extending upper flange and a lower flange spaced apart from the upper flange. The frame member has a main wall extending between the upper and lower flanges and forming a generally U-shaped cross section therewith. The flanges are directly fixedly secured to the inner surface of the outer panel and forming a transversely extending support beam therewith.

Abstract: In a cellular phone (201), text data (code data) corresponding to user's input operation is converted into first data format (BMP format or the like) image data. The image data is synthesized with input image data such as a photograph to be allotted in a given format. The image data arranged and synthesized in the format is converted into image data of a second data format (JPEG, GIF, or the like). The converted image data is then printed on a recording sheet (203) in a printer (202).

Abstract: In a port structure 16A in a semiconductor processing system 2, a door 20A is disposed in a port 12A defined by upright wall 52 and 54. A table 48 opposed to the port is disposed outside the system. Defined on the table is a mount region 76 for mounting an open type cassette 18A for a process subject substrate W. A hood 50 is disposed rotatable relative to the table. The hood defines in its closed position a closed space surrounding the mount region and port, the space having a size to receive the cassette. First ventholes 58 are formed in the upright walls and/or the door so as to introduce gas from within the system into the closed space in the hood. Second ventholes 72 are formed in the table so as to discharge the gas can be discharged out of the closed space.
