  • Publication number: 20100151761
    Abstract: A manufacturing apparatus for a three-dimensional image display includes a control unit configured to cause a display panel bonded to a lens plate while being housed in a decompression chamber to display an inspection chart, to cause an image capture to capture images of the inspection chart multiple times along with an increase in a decompression degree inside the decompression chamber while causing a decompressor to decompress the inside of the decompression chamber, to obtain variance of luminance distribution for each of the images captured by the image capture, to obtain change information of the variance that changes depending on a change in the decompression degree inside the decompression chamber, and to obtain the decompression degree at a change point of the variance based on the obtained change information of the variance.

  • Publication number: 20100009589
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a three dimensional image display device includes: applying an adhesive member to any one of a lens plate and a display panel so as to form a continuous frame having an application height higher than a separation distance between the lens plate and the display panel in a bonding complete state; measuring the application height of the adhesive member; figuring out a volume of an enclosed space, which is formed by the display panel, the adhesive member and the lens plate, by using a lowest application height of the adhesive member, and figuring out a bonding pressure leading to obtaining of a necessary internal pressure in the enclosed space, by using the figured-out volume of the enclosed space; and bonding the lens plate and the display panel together with the adhesive member in a reduced pressure atmosphere with the figured-out bonding pressure.

  • Publication number: 20080036828
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a liquid container allowing improvement of its dimensional precision. [Solving Means] An ink cartridge 22 as a liquid container includes a case 23 having a case body 30 and a lid case 32, and a moving member 36 attached to a surface of a flexible ink pack 25 housed in the case 23. The moving member 36 assumes different positional attitudes inside the case 23 in accordance with the volume of the ink pack 25 that is gradually reduced as the ink therein is consumed, so as to be detected by a detector provided in a printer when the moving member 36 assumes a positional attitude indicating that the ink pack 25 has become empty of ink. The case body 30, lid case 32, and moving member 36 are molded of a material containing at least polylactic acid to achieve a low mold shrinkage rate.

  • Patent number: 6352847
    Abstract: The invention provides an ammonia elimination reagent in solution, comprising a thermo-resistant isocitrate dehydrogenase with prominent stability under conditions at high alkaline pHs. For example, the isocitrate dehydrogenase is preferably derived from the genus Thermus. For an assay system of biological substances generating a reaction product ammonia, an ammonia elimination reagent can be prepared by selecting and using the enzyme; the resulting ammonia elimination reagent can be stored in solution; additionally, the assay system can be designed in combination with both the coenzymes NAD+ and NADP+. The ammonia elimination reagent is novel and can eliminate ammonia in an extremely short time.
