Abstract: The present invention estimates intention of an utterance more accurately than the related arts. A learning device learns an estimation model on the basis of learning data including an acoustic signal for learning and a label indicating whether or not the acoustic signal has been uttered to a predetermined target. The learning device includes: a feature synchronization unit configured to obtain a post-synchronization feature by synchronizing an acoustic feature obtained from the acoustic signal for learning with a text feature corresponding to the acoustic signal; an utterance intention estimation unit configured to estimate whether or not the acoustic signal has been uttered to the predetermined target by using the post-synchronization feature; and a parameter update unit configured to update a parameter of the estimation model on the basis of the label included in the learning data and an estimation result by the utterance intention estimation unit.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a light emitting device includes: providing a light emitting element having an upper surface and a plurality of side surfaces connected to the upper surface; applying an adhesive resin onto the upper surface and the plurality of side surfaces of the light emitting element such that a lower end of the adhesive resin at a corner where adjacent ones of the side surfaces of the light emitting element meet is positioned lower than a lower end of the adhesive resin at a center of each of the side surfaces of the light emitting element; disposing a light transmissive member over the upper surface of the light emitting element with the adhesive resin being interposed between the light transmissive member and the upper surface of the light emitting element, and pressing the adhesive resin with the light transmissive member; and curing the adhesive resin.

Abstract: An external fixator for fixing bones includes a coupling member, a plurality of ball joints, each ball joint comprising a pin to be inserted into a bone, a rotary member in form of a ball, a supporting member in which a first supporting member and a first thread for supporting the ball rotatably are formed, and a tubular fastening member that contains the ball and that has openings at the opposite ends, the tubular fastening member is provided at one end with a second thread corresponding to the first thread. The tubular fastening member is provided at the other end with a second supporting portion for pushing the ball against the first supporting portion when the second screw is driven into the first thread, wherein the pins and the coupling member are fixed to the supporting member and the rotary member.

Abstract: A work for fixing a bone by an external fixator is facilitated. The external fixator comprises a plurality of ball joints each comprising a plurality of pins inserted into a bone, a coupling member, a rotary member that fixes pins to the coupling member relatively, is coupled by the coupling member and forms a ball at least partially, a supporting member in which a first supporting member and a first screw for supporting the ball rotatably are formed, and a tubular fastening member that contains the ball, has openings at the opposite ends, is provided at one end with a second screw corresponding to the first screw, and is provided at the other end with a second supporting portion for pushing the ball against the first supporting portion when the second screw is driven into the first screw, wherein the pins and the coupling member are fixed to the supporting member and the rotary member.

Abstract: A metal back-attached phosphor screen comprises a metal back layer that has a high-reflectance, high-resistance layer consisting of an In-, Sn- or Bi-oxide layer. The metal back layer of the metal back-attached phosphor screen may have a laminate structure including a high-reflectance layer formed on a phosphor layer side and a high-resistance layer formed on that layer. The high-reflectance layer may be formed of Al, In, Sn or Bi. The high-resistance layer may be formed of an Al-, In-, Sn-, Bi- or Si-oxide or nitride. A high-brightness metal back-attached phosphor screen is provided that prevents the destruction or the deterioration of an electron emission element and a phosphor screen by discharging.

Abstract: A transfer film comprising a base film (11), a parting-agent layer (12), a protective film (13), and a metal film (14), the latter three being formed on the base film (11) in order, wherein the protective film (13) contains a softening agent such as a phosphate, an aliphatic monobasic acid ester, an aliphatic dibasic acid ester, or a dihydric alcohol ester. By using such a transfer film, a metal back layer is formed. Since the transfer layer of the transfer film has a surface resistivity of as high as 102–108 ?/, the surface resistivity of the formed metal back layer is high, and discharge is suppressed.
