  • Patent number: 10899064
    Abstract: A wide-neck synthetic resin container has a neck, a body and a bottom. A top side of the neck is sealed by a cap. The neck includes a neck tubular section, an engagement section protruding outward therefrom and engaging the cap, and a flange protruding outward at the top side. The flange protrudes less than the engagement section. The neck's top side includes a first top side formed by the neck tubular section, and a second top side formed by the flange that is the same height level with the first top side and increases an area of the top side. The neck tubular section has a uniform thickness at an area immediately below the flange and an area where the engagement section is formed. A thickness of the flange is smaller than that of the neck tubular section, and the neck has been crystallized.

  • Patent number: 8766705
    Abstract: An arrangement for detecting local light irradiation in an illegal attack attempt to intentionally induce a malfunction or faulty condition is formed on a small chip occupancy area so as to provide high detection sensitivity. In a region containing a logic circuit, a plurality of series-coupled detection inverters are distributively disposed as photodetector elements having a constant logical value of primary-stage input. When at least one of the series-coupled detection inverters is irradiated with light, an output thereof is inverted, thereby producing a final output through the series-coupled detection inverters. Based on the final output thus produced, local light irradiation can be detected.

  • Patent number: 8121013
    Abstract: An optical pickup apparatus changes a propagation direction of luminous fluxes, out of a laser light reflected by a disc, in four luminous flux regions set about a laser optical axis so as to mutually disperse these luminous fluxes. A signal light region in which only a signal light is present appears on a detection surface of a photodetector. A plurality of sensors for a signal light are placed at positions irradiated with the signal light within the region. When an arithmetic process is performed on a detection signal outputted from each sensor, a DC component occurring in a tracking error signal is suppressed.
