  • Patent number: 7107849
    Abstract: A vibration source probe system for detecting the surface waves of vibration coming over the ground or the floor of a building and specifying and displaying a vibration source at a factory or on a road. The position of a vibration source is estimated from a phase difference or arrival time difference between vibrations of surface waves detected by the vibration sensors which are separated from each other by a predetermined distance, an image near the estimated position of the vibration source is picked up by a camera, and the estimated position of the vibration source is displayed on the image displayed on the display screen of a personal computer.

  • Patent number: 6903870
    Abstract: A link-mechanism base is prepared within a yoke portion, and a link member is prepared in connection with the base within left and right supports. The link member connects the upper part of the supports or the upper part of the yoke portion, and the link-mechanism base. The displacement and angle of rotation of the upper part of the yoke portion are measured by using these link-mechanism base and link member, thereby measuring a change in the pointing direction of a reflector.

  • Patent number: 6795039
    Abstract: An antenna system is provided with an antenna panel 1 which has fine bumps and dips 4 formed on a mirror surface side, which is one of surfaces opposing to each other, by etching, wherein the fine bumps and dips scatter sunlight entering the mirror surface side of the antenna panel 1 to suppress the collection of the sunlight and regularly reflect radio waves having longer wavelength than the sunlight entering the mirror surface side of the antenna panel.

  • Patent number: 6051776
    Abstract: A solar battery cell of a back-electrode type is used to enhance the photo-electric efficiency in which the electrical connecting structure for the solar battery cell is simplified, and the deterioration of connected portions can be prevented. The solar battery cell of a back-electrode type having second electrodes on the back thereof, are placed on and fixed to a board having first electrodes on its surface, so that the first electrodes and the second electrodes are electrically connected to each other. Output terminals are connected to the first electrodes on the board outside of and to the side of the solar battery cell, by soldering. A truncated conical light guide having a larger diameter-end face serving as a light receiving end face is placed on and fixed to a surface of the solar battery cell with the light receiving end face disposed in the vicinity of the focal point of the lens.

  • Patent number: 5578155
    Abstract: A first plastic film 90 is prepared which is cut into an effective area V1 constituting a three-dimensional object and a non-required area U1 not constituting the three-dimensional object, and a second plastic film 94 is fed above the first plastic film 90. Meanwhile, a photo-setting adhesive 96 is applied on a lower surface of the second plastic film 94, and a portion 96a corresponding to a sum of the non-required area U1 of the first plastic film and a non-required area U2 of the second plastic film is solidified whereas a residual portion 96b remains non-solid. The non-solid portion 96b is irradiated with a light beam and solidified to attach the first and the second plastic films with each other. The second plastic film 94 is then cut into an effective area V2 and the non-required area U2. The three-dimensional object is formed by successively laminating plastic films through repetition of the above steps.
