Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for producing a microchannel device, which can form a channel that has high hydrophobicity, high solvent resistance as well, and also resistance to heat and damage, on demand with high accuracy, and produces the microchannel device at a low cost, while having high productivity. The method for producing a microchannel device includes: forming a channel pattern from a hydrophobic resin on a porous substrate by an electrophotographic method; melting the channel pattern by heat to allow the channel pattern to permeate into the porous substrate, thereby forming a channel in the inside of the porous substrate.

Abstract: A light emitting element of one or more embodiments includes a first electrode, a second electrode oppositely to the first electrode, and an emission layer between the first electrode and the second electrode. The light emitting element of one or more embodiments includes a polycyclic compound represented by a specific chemical structure in the emission layer, thereby showing improved emission efficiency and life characteristics.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an intermittently coupled-type optical fiber ribbon includes arranging a plurality of optical fibers in parallel in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the plurality of optical fibers, coating all of the plurality of optical fibers with a coupling resin, intermittently inserting a cleaving blade into the coupling resin between some adjacent optical fibers of the plurality of optical fibers to form slits. An outer diameter of each of the optical fibers is 220 ?m or less. A distance between the optical fibers into which the cleaving blade is inserted among the adjacent optical fibers is 10 ?m or more and 100 ?m or less.

Abstract: Provided is an optical-fiber-cable winding bobbin 100 including: a body member 110 on which an optical fiber cable is wound; and a pair of flange members 120 that are provided at both ends of the body member 110, wherein the flange members 120 are made of ABS resin, and the body member 110 is made of a material having a smaller linear expansion coefficient than the flange members 120.

Abstract: A landing jamb including a jamb main body having surfaces on which a design plate being flat plate having a larger plate thickness than a plate thickness of the jamb main body is superposed. The design plate is fixed to the jamb main body by a plurality of sets of fixtures. Each of the fixtures of at least one set of fixtures includes a stud bolt, a main nut screwed over the stud bolt, and an intermediate member through which the stud bolt is caused to pass, and which is interposed between the main nut and the jamb main body. A melting point of a material used to form the intermediate member is lower than a melting point of a material used to form the stud bolt and a melting point of a material used to form the main nut.

Abstract: A sill for an elevator, wherein a first support member and a first surface member are configured as separate members, and a second support member and a second surface member are configured as separate members. One of the first and second surface members has one upper plate section forming one upper surface of the sill, a bottom plate section forming a bottom surface of a sill groove, and one side plate section forming one side surface of the sill groove. The other of the first and second surface members has another upper plate section forming another upper surface of the sill, and another side plate section forming another side surface of the sill groove. A space into which a detachment prevention member provided on a lower part of the door panel is inserted is formed between the other side plate section and the bottom plate section.

Abstract: An elevator apparatus includes an elevator car; an air blower including an air inlet and an air outlet; ducts each having one end individually connected to the elevator car, the air inlet and the air outlet; intake and exhaust air volume adjusting means having the other end of each of the ducts connected thereto, which adjusts an intake and exhaust volume of air in the elevator car by varying a volume of air that bypasses the car to flow from the air outlet to the air inlet of the air blower; and control means that controls the intake and exhaust air volume adjusting means, to adjust air pressure within the car to set air pressure. The elevator apparatus adjusts air pressure within the elevator car, even when there is a small differential pressure between the set air pressure within the car and an air pressure outside the car.

Abstract: It is an object to ease discomfort feeling caused by ear fullness for passengers of an elevator. An air pressure control device 104 controls an air pressure in an elevator car 102 using an air pressure adjusting device 105 such as a blower, an air compressor, etc. In the air pressure control device 104, a departure/arrival control unit 121 largely changes the air pressure in the elevator car 102 in the first period which is a time zone at the time of departing from a departure floor (or at the time of arriving at an arrival floor), and an except departure/arrival control unit 122 slightly changes the air pressure in the elevator car 102 in the subsequent second period (or in a time period until arrival). By this 2-step air pressure control, the passenger is prompted to clear the ear in a short time T1, the ear fullness is resolved by the ear clearing, and thereafter, the passenger can ascend/descend with the elevator car 102 comfortably until arriving at the arrival floor.

Abstract: To alleviate the ear block discomfort of passengers without causing any undue reduction in the operational efficiency of an elevator. A travel distance calculating section 13 calculates a travel distance of a car room 1 based on destination floor information 12a and a car position command signal 3a, and output travel distance information 13a to a speed pattern generating section 14. The speed pattern generating section 14 compares the travel distance with a predetermined distance, generates a speed pattern 14a of a normal operation if the travel distance is short, and generates the speed pattern 14a of a partially low speed operation if the travel distance is long. The predetermined distance indicates a difference in height corresponding to a difference in air pressure that causes the Eustachian tube to open against ear block discomfort by a passenger. A speed control section 24 makes the car room 1 move up and down based on the speed pattern 14a.
