Abstract: A lever 30 includes two arms (31), a coupling (32) coupling base ends (31R) of the arms (31) and an operating portion (33) coupling tips (31F) of the arms (31). The lever (30) is supported rotatably on a housing (10) with rotary shafts (34) formed on the coupling (32) serving as a fulcrum. Two sliders (40) are mounted in the housing (10) while being fit to drive shafts (38) of the lever (30) and slide in conjunction with the rotation of the lever (30). The sliders (40) are formed with cam grooves (43) configured so that cam followers (53) of a mating housing (51) slide in contact with the cam grooves (43) as the sliders (40) are slid.

Abstract: The present invention has an object of providing an X-ray CT imaging device which can direct X-ray to an area of interest appropriately even when, for example, the height of the area of interest with respect to the X-ray detector, which is revolving, varies with respect to the revolution direction, and thus can reduce the amount of unnecessary exposure to the X-ray and can perform X-ray imaging of the area of interest with certainty. In an X-ray CT imaging device for performing X-ray CT imaging of a CT imaging area of a subject, during the X-ray CT imaging when a revolving arm is revolving, the expansion in a length direction of an X-ray cone beam, which is to be restricted by length direction blocking plates, is adapted to the shape of the CT imaging area in accordance with the revolution position of the revolving arm.

Abstract: A waterproof connector (1) includes an accommodation recess (31) formed in a wire draw-out surface (26) of a housing (10) and configured to accommodate a ventilation film (63). A wire cover (50) is mounted on the housing (10) to cover the wire draw-out surface (26) and the accommodation recess (31). A wire bending space (54) inside the wire cover (50) is configured to bend wires (15) drawn out from the wire draw-out surface (26). A partition (56) is formed in the wire cover (50) and partitions between the accommodation recess (31) and the wire bending space (54) by contacting the wire draw-out surface (26) to cover an opening of the accommodation recess (31). Drainage portions (37, 38, 39, 40) are formed in a contact area between the wire draw-out surface (26) and the partition (56) and has a convexo-concave or stepped cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: A moving plate (30) includes two resilient locking pieces (34) and can be resiliently curved and deformed to incline a projecting direction of the resilient locking pieces (34), and a female housing (50) pulls the moving plate 30 back to an initial position by locking locks (55) to the resilient locking pieces (34). With the moving plate (30) held at the initial position by initial position holding projections (18), the locks (55) of the female housing (50) are displaced to locked positions to the resilient locking pieces (34) by resiliently deforming the resilient locking pieces (34). The initial position holding projections (18) are spaced apart in the same direction as a separating direction of the resilient locking pieces (34) and arranged at positions different from the pair of resilient locking pieces (34) in the separating direction of the pair of resilient locking pieces (34).

Abstract: A silicon carbide powder which, when used as a raw material in a sublimation recrystallization method, enables improvement in productivity of a silicon carbide single crystal by exhibiting a high sublimation rate and allowing a small amount of silicon carbide to remain without being sublimated, and enables an increase in size of the silicon carbide single crystal (for example, a single crystal wafer). The silicon carbide powder has a Blaine specific surface area of from 250 cm2/g to 1,000 cm2/g and a ratio of a silicon carbide powder having a particle size of more than 0.70 mm and 3.00 mm or less of 50 vol % or more with respect to a total amount of the silicon carbide powder. When a silicon carbide powder accommodated in a crucible is heated to be sublimated, a silicon carbide single crystal is formed on a seed crystal provided on an undersurface of a lid.

Abstract: A moving plate (30) includes two resilient locking pieces (34) and can be resiliently curved and deformed to incline a projecting direction of the resilient locking pieces (34). With the moving plate (30) held at an initial position by retaining projections (21), locks (55) of a female housing (50) are displaced from positions where the locks (55) are locked to the resilient locking pieces (34) to positions where the locks (55) are not locked to the resilient locking pieces (34) by resiliently deforming the resilient locking pieces (34). The retaining projections (21) are spaced apart in the same direction as a separating direction of the resilient locking pieces (34) and are at positions different from the resilient locking pieces (34) in the separating direction of the resilient locking pieces (34).

Abstract: A male housing of a connector assembly has moving plate (30) with a pair of resilient locking pieces (34) that can be curved resiliently and deformed to incline a projecting direction of the resilient locking pieces (34). A female housing (50) causes the moving plate (30) to interfere with initial position holding projections (18) and pulls the moving plate (30) back to an initial position by locking with locking portions (55) to the resilient locking pieces (34). The initial position holding projections (18) are paired and spaced apart in the same direction as a separating direction of the resilient locking pieces (34) and are arranged at positions different from the resilient locking pieces (34) in the separating direction of the resilient locking pieces (34).
