Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a titanium or titanium alloy member and to a surface hardening method for the titanium or titanium alloy member. The titanium or titanium alloy member includes a base material of titanium or titanium alloy, and at a surface of the base material, a hardened layer formed by diffusion of oxygen into the surface. The method includes: a heating step of heating the titanium or titanium alloy base material of the member to a predetermined temperature under an inert gas atmosphere; a hardening step of introducing (i) a mixed gas including an inert gas, and (ii) oxygen gas as a hardening treatment gas, to perform hardening treatment of the surface of the base material; and a cooling step of cooling the base material down to room temperature under the inert gas atmosphere.

Abstract: A timepiece includes: a casing; a light transmission part; a function part; and a glue adhering the light transmission part to the casing. The casing includes: a projection projecting from an inner circumferential surface and extending along a circumferential direction; and a protrusion protruding from the inner circumferential surface and determining a position of the light transmission part. A lateral surface of the light transmission part is adhered to the inner circumferential surface. A peripheral part of a bottom surface of the light transmission part is adhered to a top surface of the projection. An outer circumferential surface of the function part extends along an inner surface of the projection. A space is present in a facing region where the projection faces the function part along the light transmission part. The space is wider in a specific section including the protrusion than in a section different from the specific section.

Abstract: An annotation support apparatus manages a medical image on the basis of an attribute of each medical image, using a hierarchical structure that has one medical image as a node and includes a medical image hierarchy to which a node of the medical image belongs and at least one of an upper hierarchy higher than the medical image hierarchy or a lower hierarchy lower than the medical image hierarchy. The annotation support apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires the medical image; a display unit; an annotation input receiving unit that receives designation of any one of the node of the medical image or a node associated with the node of the medical image in the hierarchical structure and an input of annotation information related to the designated node; and an annotation storage unit that stores the annotation information to be associated with the designated node.

Abstract: A watch case having a through-hole, an operating member including an operating shaft to be inserted to the through-hole of the watch case, an exterior member mounted on the operating member and configured to be displaced in a shaft direction of the operating shaft and be rotated together with the operating member, and a buffer member located between the operating member and the exterior member are provided. Therefore, when the exterior member receives impact from outside, the impact can be buffered by the buffer member. As a result, the operating member can be prevented from being damaged because the impact from the outside is not directly transmitted to the operating member, thereby improving impact resistance.

Abstract: A wristwatch including a case including a band attachment section having an attachment hole, a band including a coupling hole in one end portion located coaxially with the attachment hole of the band attachment section, a coupling member inserted into the coupling hole of the band and the attachment hole of the band attachment section and coupling the band with the band attachment section, and a fixing member fixing the coupling member to the attachment hole of the band attachment section or the coupling hole of the band.

Abstract: A structure includes a wristwatch case; an inner frame arranged inside the wristwatch case and having an upper surface provided with a positioning fitting recess; a timepiece module arranged as being positioned inside the inner frame; and a parting plate which is provided with a positioning pin that is provided on a lower surface of the parting plate facing the upper surface of the inner frame, and that is fitted into the positioning fitting recess of the inner frame, thereby positioning the parting plate with respect to respect to the inner frame. As a result, in a state where the timepiece module is arranged and positioned inside the inner frame arranged in the wristwatch case, the positioning pin of the parting plate can be fitted into the positioning fitting recess of the inner frame. Accordingly, the parting plate can be accurately positioned with respect to the inner frame.

Abstract: According to the invention, there can be provided a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell whose capacity is hardly decreased even stored at high temperatures in a charged state. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell uses an insulation adhesive tape composed of a base material and a glue material. And in an absorbance spectra of the glue material measured using an infrared spectrophotometer so that the maximum peak intensity is 5 to 20% in transmittance, when peak intensities for C—H stretching vibration of 3040 to 2835 cm?1 and C?O stretching vibration of 1870 to 1560 cm?1 are respectively defined as I(C—H) and I(C?O), a peak intensity ratio represented by I(C?O)/I(C—H) is 0.01 or less.
