Abstract: A granulating method is a method in which powder containing a water-soluble component is granulated. In the disclosed granulating method, a dispersion element, wherein fine water droplets are dispersed in superheated steam, is expelled from a nozzle, and thus the dispersion element and powder in a flowing state come into contact with one another. It is preferable that the mass ratio of superheated steam contained in the dispersion element, as a mass ratio found from the theoretical flow amount of superheated steam expelled from the nozzle, and the actual flow amount of water supplied to the nozzle, be set in a range of 20-70 mass %.

Abstract: A switch mechanism having a switch button(s) to be pushed, a support board having a projecting portion(s) at a position corresponding to the switch button(s), and a switching assembly that is provided between the switch button and the support board and that switches an electrical connection state with the projecting portion in a state where the switch button is pushed. The support board having a through hole(s) around a position corresponding to the projecting portion. The through hole(s) is(are) formed such that the projecting portion is displaced in a pushing direction of the switch button in the state where the switch button is pushed.

Abstract: Provided is a waterproof structure including: a first casing component member 107; a second casing component member 110 that is fitted to the first casing component member 107 and constitutes a casing; an annular groove portion 71 formed in the first casing component member 107; and an annular seal member 110c that is provided on the second casing component member 110 and inserted into the groove portion 71. A cross section of the seal member 110c includes: a base portion BH; a trunk portion RH formed substantially perpendicular from the base portion BH; and a valve portion VH formed to protrude in a triangular shape from one side surface on a tip side of the trunk portion, and in a fitted state, the trunk portion and the valve portion are housed in an enclosed space formed by the base portion and the groove portion.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lens wherein characteristic direction of aberration and the like can be easily determined, and a lens processing method. A reference point of the characteristic direction of aberration and the like is clarified by providing a thin portion (103) of a flange section (102) with a mark portion (106), and the characteristic direction of aberration and the like can be easily and accurately determined. Furthermore, by not removing the whole flange section (102) in the thickness direction, the center position of the lens is prevented from shifting at the time of attaching the lens (100), and the processing portion of the lens (100) can be prevented from hitting a case and the like at the time of transferring the lens (100).

Abstract: An etching residue removal method includes a cleaning sequence. Preferably, the cleaning sequence has a first washing processing, first drying processing, stripper processing, rinsing processing, second washing processing and second drying processing. In the first washing processing, an insulation film and metal lines thereon are washed by pure water.
