Abstract: To provide a sealing material sheet for a solar-cell module that has high productivity, and can also suppress unevenness in thickness at the time of integration as a solar-cell module. There is provided a sealing material sheet 1 in which there are two inflection point temperatures that are temperatures only around which a change rate of the linear expansion coefficient locally increases, a first inflection point temperature at a low temperature side of two inflection point temperatures is within a range of 55° C. to 70° C., and a second inflection point at a high temperature side of the inflection point temperatures is within a range of 80° C. to 95° C.

Abstract: In an imaging apparatus system, a first imaging apparatus includes a first front casing, a common rear casing, a first lens mount attached to the first front casing, and a common monitor attached to the common rear casing. A second imaging apparatus includes a second front casing, a common rear casing, a second lens mount attached to the second front casing and different from the first lens mount, and a common monitor. When the first and second front casings are respectively attached to the common rear casings and, the center of the first lens mount and the center of the second lens mount are identical, regarding the relative positions in the left-right direction with respect to the common rear casings and.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus system includes a first imaging apparatus, and a second imaging apparatus. The first imaging apparatus includes a first top casing including a casing top surface, and a common rear casing including a casing rear surface. The second imaging apparatus includes a second top casing including a casing top surface, and the common rear casing. The first top casing has a shape in which a vent hole is formed in the second top casing.

Abstract: This invention provides a semiconductor type gas sensor that can considerably increase the detection sensitivity to low-concentration gases, and can increase the response-recovery speed to achieve a conspicuous improvement in the overall performance, as well as a manufacturing method thereof. This invention is a semiconductor type gas sensor including a semiconductor substrate having a hollow portion in a central part, an insulating film of a diaphragm structure disposed on this substrate to form to cover the hollow portion, a heater formed on this insulating film, a resistance-measuring electrode, and a gas-sensitive film formed on the resistance-measuring electrode, characterized in that the gas-sensitive film is made of monoclinic tungsten oxide containing a hexagonal tungsten oxide crystal.

Abstract: A sensor for detecting a gas comprises a gas detecting portion comprising an anhydrous zinc antimonate semiconductor. The sensor for detecting a gas is preferably hydrogen sulfide. A method for producing the sensor for detecting a gas comprising the steps of: mixing a zinc compound with colloidal antimony oxide in a ZnO/Sb2O5 molar ratio of 0.8 to 1.2; calcining the mixture at 300 to 680° C. and grinding the mixture to form electroconductive anhydrous zinc antimonate powder; preparing a sol of the electroconductive anhydrous zinc antimonate; coating the sol of the electroconductive anhydrous zinc antimonate on a substrate of a device; and heating the substrate at a temperature exceeding 680° C., but below 1,000° C.

Abstract: A surface illuminant device which is usable as a backlight for liquid crystal display units and does not allow a light diffusing sheet 2 or a reflecting sheet 4 to be slackened due to variations of temperature and humidity. Collars 6a and 6b of a holder 6 are disposed on surfaces of a light transmitter 1 opposed to each other so that a gap slightly larger than thickness of the light diffusing sheet 2 is formed between the collar 6a of the holder 6 and a surface of emergence 1a of the light transmitter 1, and a gap slightly larger than thickness of the reflecting sheet is formed between the surface 1b opposed to the surface of emergence 1a of the light transmitter 1 for allowing ends of the light diffusing sheet and the reflecting sheet to be freely movable within a predetermined range in the gaps, whereas the other ends of the light diffusing sheet and the reflecting sheet are fixed to the light transmitter 1 by fixing means 3, 5, 10 and 14.

Abstract: A miniature motor having a frequency generator comprising a miniature motor consisting of a stator equipped with a permanent magnet for forming a magnetic field, and a rotor having windings wound on a rotor core, constructed so as to feed electric current to the rotor windings through a commutator which makes sliding contact with current-feeding brushes held by a brush holder fixedly fitted to a small motor case. A frequency generator is provided consisting of a rotor for detecting revolution, a stator disposed in such a manner as to face the rotor, a permanent magnet for forming a magnetic field between the rotor and the stator, and a frequency-detecting coil generating an induced voltage proportional to the revolution of the rotor.
