Abstract: A connector which serves as an optical transmitter in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a transmitting circuit configured to convert a data signal into an electric current signal, the data signal being a three-valued; and an LD configured to convert the electric current signal into an optical signal. The transmitting circuit detects, as an IDLE interval, an interval during which the data signal falls within a predetermined range that is between a high level and a low level. The transmitting circuit controls, during the IDLE interval, the electric current signal to be not greater than a threshold electric current of the LD.

Abstract: In an ultrasonic inspection performed on an inspection object including a fine and multi-layer structure such as a semiconductor wafer and a MEMS wafer, a defect is detected by: separating a defect present inside from a normal pattern; obtaining an image of the inspection object by imaging the inspection object having a pattern formed thereon to enable a highly sensitive detection; generating a reference image that does not include a defect from the obtained image of the inspection object; generating a multi-value mask for masking a non-defective pixel from the obtained image of the inspection object; calculating a defect accuracy by matching the brightness of the image of the inspection object and the reference image; and comparing the calculated defect accuracy with the generated multi-value mask.

Abstract: The steering angles of front wheels 3f and rear wheels 3r of a vehicle 1 can be respectively controlled by a front wheel steering angle control actuator 35 and a rear wheel steering angle control actuator 44. If a steering wheel 20 is operated in a turning direction of the vehicle 1 while the vehicle 1 is traveling in a straight line, then a controller 60 changes the steering angle of the front wheels 3f to approach to a steering angle specified on the basis of an operation amount after the steering wheel 20 is operated, and also controls the front wheel steering angle control actuator 35 and the rear wheel steering angle control actuator 44 to change the steering angles of the rear wheels 3r to the opposite direction of the turning direction of the vehicle 1 immediately after the steering wheel 20 is operated.

Abstract: An optical module includes: a transparent substrate through which light can pass; a photoelectric conversion element mounted on the transparent substrate and emitting light toward the transparent substrate or receiving light having passed through the transparent substrate; and a support member supporting an optical fiber for transmitting light, the support member and the transparent substrate forming an optical path between the photoelectric conversion element and the optical fiber. A positioning hole is formed in the transparent substrate. A positioning pin having a tapered surface is formed on the support member. The transparent substrate and the support member are positioned with respect to one another by inserting the positioning pin into the positioning hole along the optical axis direction of light between the transparent substrate and the support member and by making the tapered surface of the positioning pin contact the edge of the positioning hole without leaving any space therebetween.

Abstract: The system enables a subject himself to decide on a proper remedial measure, without obtaining particular instruction directly from a medical professional, by providing an advice corresponding to a decision criteria of a plurality of classifications (3x4=12) stored in the storage unit, based on a plurality of autonomic nerve function age ranks and a plurality of autonomic nerve function age ranks A screening system for fatigue and stress has a storage unit which, during screening for fatigue and stress, stores master data composed of reference values for each age, a decision unit which decides by comparing a measurement data obtained by electrocardiogram and pulse wave measurement of the subject with the reference value, and outputs a result of decision classified into the plurality of classifications, and a computing unit which receives the decision results, and calculates autonomic nerve function age ranks, wherein the decision means has an autonomic nerve decision unit which decides autonomic nerve strengt

Abstract: A saddle-type vehicle has an engine-fastening structure which stabilizes a seating face contact between a collar and a vehicle body frame on one side, and between the collar and an engine on the other side. The vehicle includes a vehicle body frame having an engine-supporting portion, and an engine block having a female threaded portion formed therein for alignment with the engine-supporting portion. The collar is interposed between the engine-supporting portion and the engine block. The engine-supporting portion of the frame, the collar and the engine side female threaded portion are fastened together by a bolt. A gap is provided at least at locations between the collar and the bolt which oppose a boundary between the collar and the engine-supporting portion, and another boundary between the collar and the engine side female threaded portion.
