  • Publication number: 20240140872
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a mold-making gypsum composition that can contribute, in a case of, for example, making a model of dentures, to improvements in workability in a step of making a gypsum mold (mold) which is necessary for making a model of artificial gingiva (gum) part made of a resin and which is different individually and is required to have an elaborate shape. In detail, the present invention provides a mold-making gypsum composition such that a slurry-like malaxated product obtained by adding water to the mold-making gypsum composition exhibits favorable fluidity and therefore the mold-making gypsum composition is used for tertiary investing for filling a void in a polymerization flask in making a mold, and thereby workability can be improved and a favorable mold in which occurrence of cracks of gypsum is suppressed when the mold-making gypsum composition is set can be formed.

  • Publication number: 20120224169
    Abstract: A Sagnac interference type optical fiber vibration sensor includes two optical fiber loops arranged along a structure, and a vibration sensor main body which detects the vibration caused to the structure via the two optical fiber loops. A sensitivity of one of the two optical fiber loops for detecting a vibration decreases with a distance from one end to an other end, while a sensitivity of an other of the two optical fiber loops increases with a distance from the one end to the other end. The main body includes a portion for determining whether the vibration occurred to the structure based on a sum of outputs produced via the two optical fiber loops, and a portion for determining a position where the vibration occurred based on an output ratio which is a difference between the outputs produced which is divided by the sum of the outputs produced.
