Abstract: An inspection apparatus of an embodiment includes a rotor image-pickup unit for picking up an image of a rotor using a rotor image-pickup device in the air gap between the rotor and a stator. The rotor image-pickup device includes: a carriage casing; a camera; an image-pickup position changing part; and an image-pickup direction changing part. The camera is installed in the carriage casing, and picks up an image of a ventilation hole of the rotor in the air gap. The image-pickup position changing part is installed in the carriage casing, and changes an image-pickup position of the camera by moving the carriage casing in a circumferential direction of the rotor in the air gap. The image-pickup direction changing part is installed in the carriage casing, and changes an image-pickup direction of the camera to an inclined angle to a radial direction of the rotor in the air gap.

Abstract: An access management system includes a Web page providing unit transmitting a Web page to a user terminal, a contact accepting unit receiving information purporting a request for the contact from the user terminal, a contact information generating unit setting information of the Web page browsed by the user as access information, a contact number issuing unit issuing a phone number for contact which is associated with the access information, a first talk control unit making a call to a phone of the user, a second talk control unit making the call to a phone of a call recipient which is associated with the access information a connection control unit connecting the call of the phone of the user to the call of the phone of the call recipient, and an access information providing unit transmitting the access information to a terminal provided at the call recipient.

Abstract: A hot-cathode fluorescent lamp has an arc tube on whose inside surface a phosphor film is formed, and in both ends of which stems are formed, and has bases having tube pins connected to an external power supply and fixed to both end portions of the above-mentioned arc tube. The hot-cathode fluorescent lamp is equipped with pairs of metal lead wires which are provided in both ends of the arc tube, one ends of which are connected to tube pins, and the other ends of which are extended inside the arc tube through the stem, a filament both ends of which are connected to the other ends of respective lead wires, and a screening member which has a ring portion surrounding the filament and which has a bottom face plate provided in a side of the ring portion which side opposites to the stem so as to screen the stem from the filament.

Abstract: A high-pressure discharge lamp includes a bulb that is made from glass in which a discharge space has been formed and a pair of electrode assemblies that are sealed in the end portions of this bulb. The electrode assemblies are each provided with an electrode rod for electrical discharge, and the electrode assemblies are sealed in the bulb with one part of each electrode rod extending into the discharge space. The part of each electrode assembly that is sealed in the bulb is in turn enclosed in an intermediate part. This intermediate part has a thermal expansion coefficient that is between the thermal expansion coefficient of the electrode rod and the thermal expansion coefficient of the bulb, is interposed between the electrode assembly and the bulb, and adheres to both the electrode assembly and the bulb.

Abstract: In order to provide an eyepiece lens which has a sufficiently long eye relief and a high magnification, there is provided an eyepiece lens for observing an image formed by an objective lens through an erect system, at least comprising a first lens group 4 having a positive refracting power and a second lens group 3 having a negative refracting power in this order from the side of an observer, and satisfying the following condition: −3<SF1<−1  (1) where SF1 indicates a shape factor of the first lens group 4, and SF indicates a shape factor of the lens group, which is defined by: SF=(Rs+RE)/(Rs−RE), where Rs indicates a radius of curvature of a lens surface which is closest to the object side and RE indicates a radius of curvature of a lens surface which is closest to the observer side.

Abstract: A process for producing a spherical zeolite catalyst is disclosed, which comprises dropping a zeolite-containing alumina sol into a surfactant-containing oil phase from a dropping opening directly or through air to thereby form spherical droplets of the sol, and then allowing the droplets to gel in an aqueous alkaline solution phase underlying the oil phase and withdrawing the thus gelled droplets, said dropping of the sol being conducted while the dropping opening is being impulsed to thereby impart a spherical and uniform shape to the resulting zeolite particles containing alumina as a binder, and a novel apparatus therefor.

Abstract: A portable disc player has a casing. In the casing, there are enclosed: disc rotation driving means for rotating an optical disc; an optical head which is arranged so as to be movable in the radial direction of the optical disc; a signal processing section for executing a predetermined signal process to a signal which has been read out by the optical head; and control means for controlling the operations of the rotation driving means, the optical head, and the signal processing section on the basis of an input from an X-Y device and trigger buttons. A display unit comprising an outer cover on which an LCD display is arranged is rotatably attached to the casing.
