Abstract: There are provided a metal soap which is useful as a food additive to be added to various foods for the purposes of improving a fluidity, an anti-bridging property, a low moisture absorption property and feel upon eating of foods, and has a less adverse influence on the foods, as well as a process for producing the metal soap. The metal soap for a food additive is constituted of a fatty acid calcium salt or a fatty acid magnesium salt having 6 to 24 carbon atoms which is obtained by a double decomposition method, and a water dispersion containing the metal soap in an amount of 2% by mass exhibits a pH of not less than 6 but less than 7. The process for producing the metal soap for a food additive includes the steps of reacting 1 mol of a fatty acid having 6 to 24 carbon atoms with not less than 0.9 mol but less than 1 mol of a monovalent basic compound to obtain a fatty acid basic compound salt; and reacting the fatty acid basic compound salt with a calcium salt or a magnesium salt in an aqueous medium.

Abstract: A first fixing plate 51, which is bonded to a G light prism 29 and which holds a G light DMD unit 50, is formed of a metal plate having a liner coefficient of expansion, which is substantially the same as that of the G light prism 29. The G light DMD unit 50 is fixed by inserting holding projections 51b into through holes 64 and inserting fixing holes 52a of a second fixing plate 52 into the holding projections 51b protruding through the through holes 64. The fixing holes 52a of the second fixing plate 52 have a shape similar to a section shape of the holding projections 51b taken along a plane perpendicular to the insertion direction. A gap between each holding projection 51b and the corresponding fixing hole 52a is uniform in an overall circumference. A thickness of the adhesive filled in this gap is uniform.
