Abstract: The present invention provides a method for mending projection and recess defects existing on the surface of a metallic plate, wherein steps (1) to (2) are repeated until it is determined in step (1) that mending of the projection and recess defects on the surface of the metallic plate is no longer necessary. Step (1): A step for shining light onto the surface of the metallic plate, detecting the positions of projection and recess defects on the surface of the metallic plate according to the brightness distribution on the metallic plate, the brightness distribution being obtained from reflected light, quantifying the brightness intensities of the projection and recess defects, and determining whether it is necessary to mend the projection and recess defects. Step (2): A step for mending the projection and recess defects for which it is determined in step (1) that mending is necessary.

Abstract: A first member having a first lock groove and a second member having a connection hole for insertion of the first member and a second lock groove opened to an inner periphery of the hole, are connected via a lock ring having a circular section and engaging with the grooves. An outer diameter of the ring under a load-free condition is set not less than a diameter of a groove bottom surface of the second lock groove. A reduced-diameter guide hole portion for guiding the ring to the second lock groove while reducing a diameter of the ring, is adjacently disposed short of the second lock groove in an insertion direction of the first member. A depth from an inner peripheral surface of the guide hole portion to a groove bottom surface of the second lock groove is set less than a radius of the circular section of the ring.

Abstract: In a pressure reducing valve, a linking mechanism for linking a valve shaft of a pressure reducing valve body and a diaphragm rod is formed from a bottomed linking hole provided in the diaphragm rod, a decreased diameter shaft portion provided on the valve shaft, first and second increased diameter shaft portions disposed on the decreased diameter shaft portion, a retaining plate fitted into the linking hole and has a latching recess portion, and a latching ring that engages with a first latching groove provided on the retaining plate and a second latching groove provided on the linking hole, the latching ring being capable of increasing in diameter along a radial direction of the valve shaft, and a set spring is provided in a compressed state in the linking hole, the set spring urging the retaining plate toward the side on which the pressure reducing valve body is opened.

Abstract: A light emitting device is provided in a dental handpiece device for illuminating an area in the vicinity of a dental care tool at a tip of the dental handpiece device. The light emitting device includes a light emitting section including a light emitting diode element and an electrode, and an electric power control section for controlling electric power to be supplied to the light emitting diode element via the electrode. The electric power control section includes an electric current restriction element for restricting an amount of electric current to be supplied to the light emitting diode element, and a reverse voltage prevention element for preventing a reverse voltage from being applied to the light emitting diode element.

Abstract: An optical memory device is specifically so designed that, when an reference beam is applied thereto, the entire information area of its core layer can receive the reference beam all at a time to surely reconstruct a correct image. The optical memory device includes a core layer and a cladding layer laminated on both surfaces of the core layer.

Abstract: An image sensor uses an image reading element formed by integrating pixels for converting image information to an electric signal. In each of the pixels, a common electrode common to all the pixels and an individual electrode corresponding to each of the pixels are disposed through at least an organic photoconductive layer. A crosstalk capacitance of each of the pixels is equal to or smaller than 35% of a sum of an electric capacitance between individual electrodes and an output capacitance of the individual electrode. A blocking layer may be disposed between the common and individual electrodes. Each of the pixels may be constructed such that the individual electrode is arranged on a supporting body, and a blocking layer and the photoconductive layer are formed on the individual electrode, and the common electrode is arranged on the blocking and photoconductive layers.
