Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for producing a microchannel device, which can form a channel that has high hydrophobicity, high solvent resistance as well, and also resistance to heat and damage, on demand with high accuracy, and produces the microchannel device at a low cost, while having high productivity. The method for producing a microchannel device includes: forming a channel pattern from a hydrophobic resin on a porous substrate by an electrophotographic method; melting the channel pattern by heat to allow the channel pattern to permeate into the porous substrate, thereby forming a channel in the inside of the porous substrate.

Abstract: A vehicle power supply system includes a first secondary battery, a second secondary battery whose output voltage is lower than that of the first secondary battery, a power conversion device configured to convert an input AC voltage into a DC voltage and output the DC voltage, a battery pack configured to receive the DC power output from the power conversion device and charge the first secondary battery, DC/DC converters configured to step down an input DC voltage to output the stepped-down DC voltage, and a power control unit configured to control the battery pack. The first secondary battery is connected to input ports of the DC/DC converters via the battery pack. An output port of the DC/DC converter is connected to a video media control unit, and the DC/DC converter is provided separately from the video media control unit. An output port of the DC/DC converter is connected to the second secondary battery.

Abstract: A stapler has a base portion including a rotatable clinching portion, a magazine portion pivotally attached to rotate to a position on the base portion, a push-down portion pivotally attached to rotate to a position on the base portion to be disposed above the magazine portion which has a driving blade in the vicinity of a front end thereof, and a handle member pivotally attached to rotate to a handle support member fixed to the base portion in a position on the handle member which is adapted to be brought into contact with the vicinity of a front end of an upper portion of the push-down member to lower the push-down member. The clinching portion includes a slider which slides along support shafts to permit a lowering operation of the clinching portion. The handle member includes a roller in contact with the push-down portion.

Abstract: A flat-type stapler is provided which can fasten a large number of sheets of paper with a small force and in a smooth fashion. The stapler includes a base portion, a magazine portion, a push-down member, handle supporting members, and a handle portion. The handle portion causes the push-down portion to descend by virtue of the principle of the lever with the handle shaft made to act as a movable fulcrum. A portion of the handle may be used to apply force, and the connecting shaft may be used as a point of action.

Abstract: In order to provide a stapler in which a large volume of paper can be fastened together with a small magnitude of force in a stable fashion, there is provided a stapler 1 having a base portion 2 which comprises a rotatable clinching portion 10, a magazine portion 3 which is pivotally attached to rotate to a position on the base portion 2 thereabove which lies in the vicinity of a rear end thereof by a spindle 25, a push-down portion 5 which is pivotally attached to rotate to a position on the base portion 2 which lies in the vicinity of the rear end thereof in such a manner as to be disposed above the magazine portion 3 and which has a driving blade 46 in the vicinity of a front end thereof, and a handle member 6 which is pivotally attached to rotate to a handle support member 7 which is fixed to the base portion 2 in a position on the handle member 6 which lies in the vicinity of a front end thereof and which is adapted to be brought into contact with the vicinity of a front end of an upper portion of the pu

Abstract: Disclosed is an indicator device for a vehicle with an automatic transmission, which comprises a plurality of light-emitting elements 52a each adapted to be lighted up when one of P, R and N gear ranges corresponding thereto is selected, and a digital indicator 53 adapted to indicate an alphabet character “D” when a D gear range is selected, and indicate a numeric character representing a gear position when a M gear range (manual shift mode) is selected. The indication device of the present invention makes it possible to utilize a space of an instrument panel with higher efficiency and offer enhanced visibility for a driver, while avoiding increase in production cost.

Abstract: The invention provides a stapler that the irregular movement of a bound object may be deterred by holding steadily the bound object with the lower side of a staple storing frame and a paper placing stand, a staple pressure lowering plate may push staples out effectively to reach a dead point in the upper and lower stroke, and the right and left legs of the staple may be pushed out in a balanced manner from the staple storing frame. The stapler comprises the staple storing frame having a staple discharge port, a staple receiving board for receiving a discharged staple, and the paper placing stand for placing the bound object, wherein a protruded part is formed near the discharge port of the staple storing frame and a recessed part is formed in a position that is on the paper placing stand and corresponds to the protruded part.
