Abstract: A monitor camera (1) has a front glass (13) and a glass hold-down plate for holding the front glass (13). The glass hold-down plate has an outer surface in a region continues to the front glass (13), and the outer surface is flush with or stepped back from an outer surface of the front glass (13). Further, the glass hold-down plate has a hold-down portion vertical to the direction of the thickness of the front glass (13), the hold-down portion presses the held-down portion stepped back from the outer surface of the front glass (13). The above structure prevents the field of vision of the monitor camera (1) from being hindered by natural substances including snow lying on the front glass and enhances waterproof property of the monitor camera.

Abstract: A Doppler sensitivity measuring unit measures the Doppler sensitivity of Doppler spectrum data obtained by ultrasonic wave transmission/reception with respect to a predetermined region of an object to be examined. A spectrum shape model generating unit generates a spectrum shape model on the basis of a window function used when the above Doppler spectrum data is generated. A threshold setting unit sets a threshold range in which trace waveform data displaces by a predetermined amount in the frequency axis direction on the basis of the spectrum shape model and the Doppler sensitivity, and sets a predetermined number of thresholds at almost equal intervals in the threshold range. A trace data generating unit selects a threshold for the acquisition of desired trace waveform data by generating trace waveform data while sequentially updating the plurality of set thresholds.

Abstract: A head protecting body for a safety helmet, in which a first liner member for an impact-on-the-head absorbing liner includes a swell for reinforcing at least one region of a forehead region, a left temple region, a right temple region and an occiput region in an overlapping region with respect to a second liner member having a density lower than that of the first liner member, on an overlapping surface side of the first liner member, and the second liner member includes a hollow having a shape substantially corresponding to the swell. According to this head protecting body, despite that the impact-on-the-head absorbing liner is not broken easily more than necessary near a region reinforced with the reinforcing swell, both the maximum acceleration during impact and an HIC can be decreased effectively.

Abstract: A hinge cap having a preferable appearance irrespective of opening and closing of a cap cover, to facilitate a one-hand opening manipulation, and to prevent cost increase. In the hinge cap, a cap main body has a top plate, and most of a manipulation body for transmitting pushing force for opening the cap to the inside surface of an opening/closing hinge is covered even in a state that a cap cover is opened. Therefore, the hinge cap appearance is improved and the movement of the manipulation body does not deteriorate because the contents hardly leak into the movable portion of the manipulation body.
