Abstract: A scintillator structure includes a scintillator and a reflecting material that covers the scintillator. Here, the scintillator includes a resin and a phosphor, and a phosphor particle perimeter indicating a normalized length of an interface between the phosphor and the resin in a cross-sectional image of the scintillator is smaller than 6.25.

Abstract: Information on a work machine is more accurately obtained through simplified works. An information obtaining system includes a hydraulic excavator, a target portion, a position measurement unit, and an information obtaining unit. The hydraulic excavator includes a revolving unit and a work implement movable relatively to the revolving unit. The target portion is attached to the work implement. The position measurement unit continuously measures positions of the target portion that moves with movement of the work implement relative to the revolving unit. The information obtaining unit obtains three-dimensional information on the hydraulic excavator based on a track of the target portion obtained by measurement.

Abstract: A safekeeping device includes a case configured to house a storage device including a nonvolatile memory, and a processor configured to control electric power so that the electric power is supplied to the nonvolatile memory at a predetermined timing.

Abstract: A glow plug (1) including a metallic shell (2) having a forward end portion (20) having an outer peripheral surface whose diameter increases toward the rear end side with respect to the axial direction, the forward end portion (20) coming into contact with a seat surface (55) formed on an internal combustion engine (50). The outer peripheral surface of the forward end portion (20) includes a first, second and third contact surfaces (21), (22) and (23), respectively, which differ in imaginary line angle from one another, the imaginary line angle of each contact surface being an angle which is formed, as viewed on a cross section including an axis C1, between two straight imaginary lines connecting inflection points of the contact surface at opposite ends of the contact surface. At least one of the contact surfaces is a curved surface which bulges outward.

Abstract: A photovoltaic ultraviolet sensor comprises a zinc oxide single crystal substrate. On the +c face of the zinc oxide single crystal substrate, an ultraviolet receiver is formed. The exemplary ultraviolet receiver includes a Schottky electrode which, when receiving ultraviolet rays, produces a voltage in cooperation with the zinc oxide single crystal substrate. The ultraviolet sensor does not have any sensitivity to the visible rays. The ultraviolet sensor has a relatively fast response of several microseconds.

Abstract: (2R)-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzoyl]-4-[2-[(2S)-2-(methoxymethyl)morpholino]ethyl]-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methylbenzyl)piperazine dihydrochloride is obtained by debenzylating (2R)-4-benzyl-1-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)-benzoyl]-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methylbenzyl)piperazine, then N-alkylating and converting to hydrochloride.

Abstract: A compound (II) is reacted with a compound (III) or a reactive derivative at the carboxyl group thereof to obtain a compound (IV), which is reacted with a mixed acid anhydride of a compound (V) to prepare a compound (I). In recrystallization of the compound (I), temperature for the recrystallization and/or time for the crystal precipitation is controlled to selectively produce A-form crystals, B-form crystals and C-form crystals of the compound (I).

Abstract: Piperidin-2-ylacetic acid (II) is efficiently and safely produced in industrial scale by treating piperidin-2-ylethanol (I) with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl, sodium hypochlorite and sodium chlorite in a two phase solvent comprising an organic solvent and water without using strongly toxic chromium trioxide.

Abstract: A heater 1 has a seal structure formed by inserting a shaft-like member 4 into a stepped bore 8 formed in a tubular member 2, and setting an O-ring 16 on an upper surface of a stepped portion of the stepped bore 8, a clearance 15 between the shaft-like member 4 and tubular member 2 being thereby sealed with this seal structure. A seal region 17 is formed on the upper surface of the stepped portion of the stepped bore 8, and a conical introduction port portion 18 extending divergently in the rearward direction from the seal region toward an opening of the stepped bore 8 is provided. Moreover, a cone angle &agr; of the introduction port portion 18 with respect to an axis L of the tubular member 2 is set to not larger than 35°.
