  • Publication number: 20240140735
    Abstract: The weight of a body-to-be-conveyed constituting a conveying device is reduced, and the friction force between the sliding surface of the body-to-be-conveyed and the conveyance path is reduced. A body-to-be-conveyed that is a component of a conveying device that uses electromagnetic force as thrust and can move in a horizontal direction includes a mover in which a bottom surface is arranged so that a predetermined gap is formed in a vertical direction with respect to the sliding surface thereof, in which the mover includes a permanent magnet and a cover, a gap facing surface of the permanent magnet facing the gap includes one magnetic pole, the cover is installed on a side of the permanent magnet opposite from the gap facing surface in the vertical direction, the horizontal outermost diameter of the cover is larger than the horizontal outermost diameter of the permanent magnet, and the cover is formed of a flat plate.

  • Patent number: 11933801
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transport device and a specimen analysis system including the transport device that reduce the pulsation of thrust for moving an object to be transported, reduce vibration of the object to be transported during transport, and realize stable transport. The transport device of the present invention includes a first electromagnet unit including a first tooth made of a magnetic body, a first core connected to the first tooth and made of a magnetic body, and a first winding formed around the first core; a second electromagnet unit including a second tooth installed adjacent to the first electromagnet unit and made of a magnetic body, a second core connected to the second tooth and made of a magnetic body, a second winding formed around the second core; and a magnetic coupling unit made of a magnetic body between the first tooth of the first electromagnet unit and the second tooth of the second electromagnet unit.

  • Patent number: 5177751
    Abstract: Disclosed is a laser apparatus having an optical pumping source, first and second resonator mirrors, a laser medium provided on a light route between the first and second resonator mirrors, an optical system provided in a light route between the laser medium and the second resonator mirror; and a nonlinear optical crystal for generating through wavelength conversion a higher harmonic wave(s) from a fundamental wave of laser generated by the laser medium. The nonlinear optical crystal is capable of being inserted between the intermediate optical system and the second resonator mirror. The second resonator mirror is a concave mirror. The intermediate optical system is constituted by a single concave mirror reflecting the fundamental wave and transmitting the higher harmonic wave(s).

  • Patent number: 4220217
    Abstract: A transmission control device for a tilt cab type vehicle is composed of a bearing which is mounted on the cab floor of the vehicle and which has a partially spherical bearing bore. A change lever is received in and held by the bearing and has the lower end extending through the bearing. A shift selection lever is mounted on the chassis below the cab and is connected at its lower end to a control rod. In addition, there is a neutral positioning spring which is adapted to maintain the change lever in its neutral position as the cab is tilted. The change lever has at its extreme lower end a yoke which has a pair of aligned openings. The shift selection lever has at the upper end an arm pin which is associated with a ball joint to be received in the aligned openings when the cab is in its normal position and the ball joint is disengaged from the aligned openings when the cab is placed in a tilted position.
