Abstract: A method of producing a spark plug comprises (a) a step of combining a metallic shell and an insulator; (b) a step of inserting a portion of the assembly on its forward end side into a pressure container; (c) a step of bringing an insulating member into contact with the outer circumferential surface of a base side portion of the insulator over the entire circumference thereof, and pressing the assembly so as to close the opening by the assembly; and (d) a step of pressurizing the interior of the pressure container and applying a predetermined voltage between the terminal electrode and the metallic shell.

Abstract: A method for producing a spark plug, including an inspection step for an insulator includes: (a) a step of preparing an assembly; (b) a step of attaching the assembly to a pressure vessel; (c) a step of attaching an insulating member to the assembly so as to cover at least a part of a surface of a portion of the insulator that is exposed at the rear side; and (d) a step of pressurizing an interior of the pressure vessel and applying a predetermined voltage between the metal terminal and the metal shell. The producing method further includes a step of adhering a lubricant to at least one of a surface of the insulator and an inner surface of the insulating member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an analyzer (1) which includes a placement part (11) for placing an analysis piece, and a photometric measurer (7) for photometric measurement of the analysis piece (2). In the analyzer (1), the placement part (11) holds the analysis piece (2) in such a way that a row of reagent pad (20) on the analysis piece (1) lie in right-and-left directions (D3, D4). The photometric measurer (7) is farther from a front than the placement part (11). The analysis piece (2) placed on the placement part (11) is conveyed from front toward rear (Direction D1), with the row of reagent pads (20) laid in right-and-left directions (D3, D4), toward the photometric measurer (7).

Abstract: The invention has an object of providing a display device which can make a full use of a mirror functionality even in a dark environment. A display device comprising: image forming means (50, 60, 70, 71) for displaying information to be displayed during one state external light during the other state; input means (30) for inputting a mirror function executing instruction; and control means (82) for causing the image forming means to be switched to the other state in response to the mirror-function executing instruction. The display device further comprises an illumination unit (91) for irradiating an object to be reflected in the mirror (60) with light during the other state.
