Abstract: A core segment linked body when opened out rectilinearly is configured: such that a distance between adjacent width reduced portions is greater than a width dimension of width expanded portions when adjacent core segments are in an expanded position, and the distance between the adjacent width reduced portions is less than the width dimension of the width expanded portions when the adjacent core segments are in a contracted position; and so as to satisfy (te?tn)/?s?>0, and 0<(te?tn)/te?0.27, where ?s? is a distance between center lines of the adjacent magnetic pole teeth in the expanded position, te is a width dimension of tooth main portions, and tn is the width dimension of the width reduced portions.

Abstract: A medical instrument includes a handpiece, a tank portion for housing a fluid, a plunger that changes a volume or pressure of an inside of the tank portion to suction the fluid into the tank portion or discharge the fluid from the tank portion, and an operating unit for operating the plunger. The handpiece includes a grip portion at the front end, and an operation member of the operating unit is disposed on a side of the grip portion.

Abstract: An ophthalmic apparatus for examining an eye of a patient, comprises: a light projecting optical system for projecting examination light onto the eye, the optical system including: a light source; and a projection shape forming device which is electrically controlled to change a reflecting area of a reflecting surface or a transmitting area of a transmitting surface and is arranged to reflect or transmit the examination light emitted from the light source while forming a projection shape of the examination light into a desired shape so that the examination light of the desired shape is projected onto the eye; and a selection unit for selecting the projection shape of the examination light; and a control part which drivingly controls the forming device based on the selected projection shape.

Abstract: In a heat exchanger for an air conditioning system including a plurality of heat exchanger tubes and a plurality of fins secured to outer surfaces of the heat transfer tubes, the fins are of a special constructional form, such as slitted fins having slits formed in flat or convoluted fins or spine fins, and the heat transfer tubes are each formed on its inner wall surface with spiral grooves or two systems of spiral grooves of large number. The heat transfer tubes define therein a refrigerant passage while the adjacent two fins define therebetween an air passage extending past the outer surfaces of the heat transfer tubes.
