Abstract: Provided is an axial hydraulic pump including: a residual pressure regenerating circuit (30) which is a pipe line communicating with a top dead center side communication port (31) and a bottom dead center side communication port (32); cylinder ports (26-1 to 26-8) which are provided in the respective cylinder bores of the cylinder block (6) and are operated with the rotation of the cylinder block (6); and communication holes (41-1 to 41-8) which communicate with the top dead center side communication port (31) and the bottom dead center side communication port (32).

Abstract: A pressure regulating restriction for allowing a cylinder bore and a valve plate discharge port to communicate with each other immediately before the cylinder bore communicates with the valve plate discharge port, and an oil passage for allowing the valve plate discharge port and an inside of the cylinder bore to temporarily communicate with each other in a time period after the cylinder bore is freed from the communication with the valve plate suction port until the cylinder bore communicates with the pressure regulating restriction are provided. The oil passage has length capable of transmitting high pressure in the oil passage on a side of the cylinder bore at the time of the communication and of restoring the pressure in the oil passage on the side of the cylinder bore to the pressure on a side of the valve plate discharge port before the communication with a next cylinder bore at the time of non-communication.

Abstract: In a dynamic optometer, a variation in the direction of a subject's eye, namely, in the direction of gaze is measured by a direction detector to tilt a bi-axial rocking mirror according to the output of the detector, and an actual image of an eyeball formed by a pair of concave spherical mirrors is reflected to an optical system by the rocking mirror varying the direction of incidence. A second actual image which is formed immediately before a light source by the optical system is stably fixated in one direction, so that the eye is irradiated with light constantly from the front side in spite of eye movements. Accordingly, the refractive power can be measured, unaffected by the movement of an eyeball.

Abstract: A lateral hole boring method whereby a lateral hole of a desired length is formed underground by repeatedly performing the following steps. A vertical hole is prepared, and a lateral hole boring apparatus equipped with a leading auger of a smaller length than the diameter of the vertical hole is lowered into the vertical hole to a predetermined position. The apparatus is manipulated from the ground level to advance and rotate the leading auger to bore a lateral hole. When the lateral hole has reached a predetermined length commensurate with the length of the leading auger, the advance movement of the leading auger is stopped, and the lateral hole boring apparatus is manipulated from the ground level to detach the leading auger therefrom, and is lifted above the vertical hole while leaving the leading auger in the lateral hole.

Abstract: A process for fabricating display panels in which which comprises printing one surface of a pulp paper with a plurality of printed image layers exactly overlaying and aligned with each other bonding; the image bearing surface of the pulp paper bonded to one surface of a panel base; and removing the pulp paper so that the display image is transferred to and remains on the panel base.
