Abstract: An actuator device includes a support part, a first movable part, and a second movable part. The second movable part includes a pair of first connection portions positioned on both sides of the first movable part on a first axis and connected to a pair of first connecting parts, a pair of second connection portions positioned on both sides of the first movable part on a second axis and connected to a pair of second connecting parts, and a pair of first portions. One of the first portions is connected to one of the first connection portions and one of the second connection portions and extends in a inclined direction, and the other of the first portions is connected to the other of the first connection portions and the one of the second connection portions and extends in a inclined direction.

Abstract: A highly stable crystal of (1S)-1,5-anhydro-1-[5-(4-{(1E)-4-[(1-{[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]amino}-2-methyl-1-oxopropan-2-yl)amino]-3,3-dimethyl-4-oxobut-1-en-1-yl}benzyl)-2-methoxy-4-(propan-2-yl)phenyl]-D-glucitol, and a process for producing the crystal are provided. Specifically, an ethanolate having the following physical properties, and a plurality of other crystal forms transformed from the ethanolate are provided: (a) Having peaks at 2?=5.9 degrees, 17.1 degrees, 17.6 degrees and 21.5 degrees in X-ray powder diffraction (Cu—K?); (b) Showing characteristic absorption bands at 3538 cm?1, 3357 cm?1, 2964 cm?1, 1673 cm?1, 1634 cm?1 and 1505 cm?1 in an infrared absorption spectrum; and (c) Having a melting point in a vicinity of 111° C.

Abstract: A process for preparing a methylphenol from an alkylbenzene which process comprises oxidizing by molecular oxygen an alkylbenzene having one secondary alkyl group and 1-3 methyl groups of the general formula I ##STR1## where R is a secondary alkyl group and n is an integer of 1-3, acid-decomposing the oxidation product solution in the presence of an acid catalyst, stopping the acid-decomposition reaction before its completion, hydrogenating the acid decomposition product solution in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in the presence or absence of a solvent, and recovering the resulting methylphenol of the general formula II ##STR2## where n is an integer of 1-3 from the hydrogenation product solution.

Abstract: A process for preparing hydroperoxide by autoxidizing secondary alkyl group-substituted methylbenzenes in the presence of water comprises using as a catalyst a water-soluble chelate compound in which multidentate ligands are coordinated to at least one member selected from the class of cobalt, nickel, manganese, copper and iron.
