Abstract: A presentation control device includes a controller, which is including a processor coupled to a memory and configured, upon detection of an operation of moving a pointer presented on a display, to move the pointer in accordance with the operation as long as an end of a movable region of the pointer is not reached and scroll screens presented on the display in accordance with the operation at the end of the movable region of the pointer.

Abstract: An ion wind generator (20) is arranged on one side of a light source (1). The ion wind generator (20) produces an air current by negatively ionizing air by corona discharges at a needle electrode (21), or negative side, and drawing the negatively-ionized air at a cylindrical electrode (22), or positive side. The air current blows toward the light source (1) and removes heat generated by the light source (1). An ultraviolet ray from the light source (1) is introduced to a vent of the ion wind generator (20) by a first dichroic mirror (4) and a ultraviolet ray reflection mirror (17). Though air exhausted from the vent includes ozone (o3) produced by corona discharges, the ozone is decomposed by the ultraviolet ray.

Abstract: A three-dimensional display comprising a flat light source, a vertical striped filter having slits transmitting light from the light source and barriers screening the light from the light source alternately formed therein for partially transmitting the light from the light source, and an LCD panel arranged on the light emission side of the vertical striped filter and having left eye pixels and right eye pixels alternately formed therein, light passing through the left eye pixels in the LCD panel and light passing through the right eye pixels being emitted toward a observer in a separated state.

Abstract: A flat display includes a closed vessel having a front panel (optically transparent) and a back panel, apparatus for emitting electrons by field emission positioned on the back panel, an anode having an anode electrode and at least a phosphor layer positioned on the front panel, and a spacer for defining a distance between the front panel and the back panel. The spacer has an upper cross-section adjacent to the front panel and a lower cross-section adjacent to the back panel. The lower cross-section is larger than the upper cross-section.

Abstract: A liquid crystal projector includes a light source, a color filter for adding color projection image, a liquid crystal panel for forming a projection image on it, a projection lens and an optical unit located between the color filter and the liquid crystal panel for optically coupling the color filter and the liquid crystal panel. The color filter is separately located from the liquid crystal, and therefore the increase in temperature on the color filter because of absorbing the light from the light source has less effect on the liquid crystal panel.

Abstract: In a liquid crystal projector having a light source and liquid crystal panel units disposed in the optical paths, reflecting means is disposed on the emanating side of the projector for reflecting the light in a direction approximately perpendicular to the optical axis, and change-over means is coupled to the liquid crystal panel units for reversing the lateral directions of images.

Abstract: A flat fluorescent lamp comprises a flat glass container formed by a front glass panel, a rear glass panel and glass frames, a phosphor coating formed along the inner surface of the front glass panel, an anode disposed in the vicinity of the phosphor coating, a plurality of linear cathodes arranged in parallel to the anode and supported by support members, and at least one mesh electrode disposed between the anode and the cathodes The intensity of light of the lamp is adjusted by applying a pulse voltage to the mesh electrode.

Abstract: A flat display includes a front panel having a fluorescent screen on its rear side, a rear panel defining a flat space with the front panel, linear filament cathodes arranged close to the rear panel, and an address electrode plate having a multiplicity of apertures and disposed close to the front panel. The rear panel is formed on its inner surface with spacer ridges each extending on each side of each filament cathode therealong and having a height to reach the address electrode plate. The spacer ridges give the flat display improved strength against pressure.

Abstract: The invention provides a shower utensil having a brush and adapted to rapidly and efficiently shampoo pet animals having a large quantity of long hair or persons. The utensil is characterized in that in addition to bristles formed on the outer surface of a water spray wall on the bottom side of a main body container, at least one hollow projection having a hollow portion in communication with the interior of the container is formed on the outer surface of the water spray wall for forcing out water from its outer end.Since water is forced out from the hollow projection as positioned deep in the inner portion of the hairy covering of the animal, i.e., close to the skin, the covering of large amount of long hair can be rapidly soaked with the washing water or shampoo preparation fully to the skin.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hydraulic breast enhancer comprising an applicator cup shaped to receive a user's breast, and a hydraulically operating breast stimulator connected to the cup. The stimulator includes a combination of a negative pressure generator and a water spouting gun. The generator applies a suction force to the cup when water is passed through the generator. The gun is designed to direct water spouts toward the breast when water is supplied to the gun. A changeover valve supplies water to a selected one of the generator and the gun.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display unit comprising a condenser lens, incident-side polarizing plate, liquid crystal panel and emanating-side polarizing plate is disposed in an optical path from a light source toward a projection lens. A cooler comprising a closed flat platelike glass container and a refrigerant enclosed in the container with a vacuum space of specified volume left therein is joined to each of the incident-side polarizing plate and the liquid crystal panel over an effective image area. The incident-size polarizing plate and the liquid crystal panel are prevented from overheating by the spontaneous convection and evaporation of the refrigerant and the condensation thereof within the space.

The tube inner surface is defined by rotating a plurality of logarithmic spiral curves having a constant angle of incidence and present in the x-y plane of a polar coordinate system in which the deflection center of the electron beam is its origin, the center axis extends through the origin and serves as the x-axis, and the y-axis extends through the origin and intersects the x-axis at right angles therewith. The spiral curves are rotated about the y-axis each through a specified angle to obtain a group of logarithmic curves defining the tube inner surface.
