  • Publication number: 20160331896
    Abstract: An imaging system capable of setting an optimum injection condition in accordance with an imaging condition and preventing erroneous inputs and erroneous operations when determining the injection condition based on the imaging condition. The imaging system includes an injecting apparatus for a chemical liquid and an imaging apparatus, which is connectable to the injecting apparatus. The imaging apparatus includes: a control unit to determine a first imaging condition based on externally acquired object information, and to transmit the first imaging condition to the injecting apparatus; and an input unit to input a second imaging condition changed from the first imaging condition. The injecting apparatus includes a control unit to determine a first injection condition based on the first imaging condition, and to change, when the second imaging condition is received from the imaging apparatus, the first injection condition to a second injection condition based on the second imaging condition.

  • Patent number: 8902723
    Abstract: A fixing structure of an optical component is composed of a device chassis; a holder holding an optical component; first and second plate parts for joint to the device chassis and a connecting part of both the plate parts are formed in the holder; a plurality of joint holes are formed in the second plate part; a U-groove into which the connecting part of the holder is fitted and a plurality of through-holes are formed in the device chassis; and an adhesive that is extended in a circular columnar shape and is made by inserting the holder into the U-groove of the device chassis, and applying a UV-curing adhesive in such a manner that the UV-curing adhesive is bonded to the first plate part of the holder and is continuous to the inside of the joint hole via the inside of the through-hole, and radiating UV light along the through-hole.

  • Publication number: 20140234596
    Abstract: An adhesive structure of an optical component includes a horizontal surface and a vertical surface. In a structure in which an optical component is adhered to a chassis having the horizontal surface and the vertical surface, an adhesive force per unit area of the vertical surface is higher than that per unit area of the horizontal surface.

  • Publication number: 20100284865
    Abstract: A torpedo-shaped, flexible wing-equipped, hydrogen generator is disclosed, comprising a case filled with magnesium and other natural mineral grains which produces hydrogen-abundant water without electrolysis. The generation of hydrogen is effected by a simple, natural chemical reaction between water and magnesium. The hallmark of this invention is the flexible wing component, which solves two major problems of current hydrogen generators: slippage and water flow obstruction. By nature of its design, the wings act as a stopper to prevent the hydrogen generator from slipping out of an inverted PET water bottle.

  • Publication number: 20030069149
    Abstract: Provided as a temperature-up·spontaneous ignition inhibitor for carbonaceous powder which can inhibit carbonaceous powder such as coal and carbon blacks from temperature-up and spontaneous ignition in stacking or during storing is (1) a temperature-up·spontaneous ignition inhibitor for carbonaceous powder comprising at least one substance selected from a radical scavenger and an oxygen scavenger or (2) a temperature-up·spontaneous ignition inhibitor for carbonaceous powder comprising an amine base cationic surfactant having a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 22 carbon atoms and a nonionic surfactant. Further, provided is a temperature-up·spontaneous ignition-inhibiting method for carbonaceous powder, characterized by spraying the above temperature-up·spontaneous ignition inhibitor for carbonaceous powder on carbonaceous powder.

  • Patent number: 4985208
    Abstract: This invention relates to a polymerization reaction apparatus which is composed of a vertical cylindrical vessel, a rotating shaft inside the vessel, a plurality of agitating blades attached to the shaft, and a large number of plate-like heat transfer elements attached to the inner wall of the vessel, disposed radially between the agitating blades, and internally equipped with a passage for a heat transfer fluid, and in which apparatus a polymerizing mass passes through a gap between the rotating shaft, the agitating blades, and a large number of the plate-like heat transfer elements and exchanges heat with a heat transfer fluid circulating inside the plate-like heat transfer elements, effecting uniform removal of the reaction heat or uniform heating of the polymerizing mass and preventing vertical mixing.
