Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized microwave surgical instrument that improves the convenience of surgical work. The microwave surgical instrument 1 of the present invention includes a surgical instrument main body 21 having an electrode section 24 for emitting a microwave to a biological tissue; a microwave oscillator 51, internally provided in the surgical instrument main body 21, for oscillating a microwave; and an amplifier 52, internally provided in the surgical instrument main body 21 by being connected between the electrode section 24 and the microwave oscillator 51, for amplifying a microwave from the microwave oscillator 51 and transmitting the microwave to the electrode section 24.

Abstract: An organic thin-film transistor of the present invention has a gate electrode, a gate insulating film, a source electrode, a drain electrode, and an organic semiconductor layer provided above a substrate, and further has a thiol compound layer composed of a benzenethiol compound and provided on a surface of the source electrode and a thiol compound layer composed of a benzenethiol compound and provided on a surface of the drain electrode. This makes it possible to provide an organic thin-film transistor whose threshold voltage can be selectively controlled without greatly affecting a current characteristic other than the threshold voltage.

Abstract: An inspection method that enables efficient inspection operations before the shipment of a sheet lens product. A sheet-like Fresnel lens sheet having a masking material bonded on its light-incidence surface is placed on an operation surface equipped with a black color system of background with the light-incidence surface up. On the operation surface the masking material is exfoliated. At the same time the Fresnel lens sheet is inspected by the reflected light to thereby make an inspection of the presence or absence of a white color system of defects. Thereafter, the Fresnel lens sheet is inspected by a the transmission light.

Abstract: Provided is an inspection method that enables highly efficient inspection operations that are necessary before the shipment of a sheet lens product. A sheet-like Fresnel lens sheet having bonded on its light-incidence surface a masking material is placed on an operation surface equipped with a black color system of background with that light-incidence surface up. On the operation surface the masking material is exfoliated. Along with this, the Fresnel lens sheet is inspected based on the reflected light to thereby make an inspection of the presence or absence of a white color system of defects. Thereafter, the Fresnel lens sheet is inspected based on the transmission light.

Abstract: A transfer unit for moving an object vertically, horizontally or rotationally has a drive mechanism installed on a horizontal bed, with a transfer portion mounted on the drive mechanism. The transfer portion includes a vertically disposed rotatable threaded shaft which cooperates with a nut mounted thereon to provide a vertical movement component for the transfer portion. A workpiece receiver mounted on top of the transfer portion is rotatable about a vertical axis. Motors are provided for rotating the nut and the workpiece receiver, respectively.

Abstract: A first motor is fitted to a threaded shaft onto which first and second nuts are screwed, a first holder to which a second motor for rotating the first nut is fixed is fitted to the shaft, the first holder is provided with a first bracket to which one ends of first and second connecting rods are rotatably connected, a second bracket is rotatably connected to ends of the first and second connecting rods opposite to the end where the first bracket is installed so that the first and second connecting rods are put in parallel positions, a second holder is secured to the second nut, the first holder and the second holder engage with a guide rail installed in parallel with the first shaft so as to be moved along the guide rail when the first shaft rotates, the second holder is provided with a third bracket, one end of a third connecting rod is rotatably connected to the third bracket, and central part of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to an end of the third connecting rod opposite to the end where

Abstract: For serving as an insertion mechanism M1, a pressure member 12 is supported in a vertically swingable manner through swing arms 51 to tip ends of vertically swingable push arms 13, and the pressure member 12 is adapted to push a corner piece in an inclining nose-up position. For serving as a caulking mechanism M2, an opening angle of a tip end caulking claw 40 of a caulking plate 15 is made larger than the right angle. For serving as an insertion/caulking device, a drive force transmitting mechanism M3 is installed, which actuates the insertion mechanism M1 interlocking with a former period stroke of one hydraulic cylinder 26 and actuates the caulking mechanism M2 interlocking with its latter period stroke. Thereby, an assembly accuracy and a work efficiency can be improved when assembling the corner piece. Further, the insertion mechanism and the caulking mechanism can be operated in sequence according to a work stroke by one stretching operation of one drive actuator.
