Abstract: A separation column for chromatography or a medium for solid phase extraction, which comprises a hollow capillary and a collected body packed in the hollow capillary and serving as a stationary phase, the collected body comprising long fibers having an adsorbing ability selective towards a target solute and arranged in the axial direction of the capillary, and a sample injection system which comprises the foregoing hollow capillary incorporated into a loop of a valve or a passage connecting two valves, the valve(s) being used as an injector for the chromatography. The use of the polymeric long fibers, which have chemical structures specially designed so that they can specifically interact with a target substance (a solute or an analyte) to be analyzed, permits the selective or preferential extraction and/or concentration of the solute.

Abstract: An apparatus communicates with a device via a network. The apparatus comprises a first processor, a second processor and a network controller. The network controller receives first and second types of packets from the network and selectively sends information in the first and second types of packets to the first and second processors. The network controller sends information in the first and second types of packets to the first and second processors, respectively, if a connection with the device has been established, such that information in the second type of packets is processed exclusively by the second processor.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a head mounting mechanism with less stress and with a good wearing feeling by which constant hold is assured regardless of the individual difference of head size and also to provide a head-mounted apparatus using it. For accomplishing this object, the mechanism of the present invention is constructed to press the frontal region and occipital region of a wearer by frontal pressing pad and occipital pressing pad whereby a device such as display part or the like is mounted on the head. In this structure frames located on the temporal regions are subjected to resistance against movement in the direction to decrease a spacing between the frames, so that no substantial pressing force is imposed on the temporal regions of the wearer.

Abstract: A mounting unit that can be worn easily and in which size adjustment and lock release can be operated with a natural hand position is disclosed. The mounting unit includes a front frame and a rear frame. The rear frame being connected to the front frame can move in a back and forth direction with respect to the front frame. And the unit includes knob members which are provided on both the right and left portions of the rear frame, for operation of backward movement of the rear frame. Furthermore, the unit includes lock mechanisms which prevent the backward movement of the rear frame with lock release buttons which allow release of the lock of the lock mechanisms. The knob members are arranged under both frames. Each of the lock release buttons is arranged at a portion on each of the knob members where the user pushes with his/her finger when a user will move the rear frame backward with respect to the front frame.

Abstract: There is provided a position adjusting mechanism capable of making the adjustment of position easily and surely without an unnecessary force being transmitted to a support portion when the position of equipment is adjusted. Shafts 30 and 31 are provided with gears 31 and 33, respectively. In a state in which an unlock button 4 is not pressed, lock members 34 and 35 are urged by plate springs 36 and 37 to positions at which the rotation of the gears 31 and 33 is inhibited, respectively. When the unlock button 4 is pressed, an integrated unlock lever 38 also moves, so that parts 38a and 38b of the lever 38 intrude into square holes 34c and 35c formed in the lock members 34 and 35, respectively. The parts 38a and 38b are provided with a taper. By the intrusion of the parts, the tapers is guided to move into the square holes to move the lock members 34 and 35 against the urging forces of the plate springs 36 and 37.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus allows easy adjustment of the holding position after the apparatus is mounted. The mounting mechanism presses against, at least, two points of a target portion, e.g., the head portion of the user, with at least one holding means (3), so as to detachably mount an apparatus (1) connected to the holding means (3) on the target portion. The holding means (3) includes a roller (10) of which the moving (rotating) direction is limited by a one-way clutch or the like, thereby allowing easy position adjustment after the apparatus is mounted.

Abstract: A lock has a pressure-based fingerprint sensor, the sensor detects the fingerprint pattern of the finger that presses the sensor, a matching circuit prepares a fingerprint code based on the detected fingerprint pattern, this code is compared with registered fingerprint codes stored in a memory device to determine whether there is a match, and if there is a match, a control unit unlocks the locking mechanism of a concerned object.

Abstract: Parallax images corresponding to a plurality of different view points are divided each into predetermined stripe images, a synthetic parallax image is synthesized from the stripe images, and display light from stripe images corresponding to one view point of the synthetic parallax image on the image display element displaying the synthetic parallax image is guided to a mask member having a mask pattern with predetermined openings and shields by a second optical system placed in front of the image display element. The display light passing through the openings of the mask member is condensed to a position corresponding to the view point on an observation surface a predetermined distance apart, by a first optical system, whereby an observer is permitted to stereoscopically observe image information displayed on the image display element.

Abstract: An image observing apparatus is arranged to observe outside information from the outside and a display image displayed on an image display device via an optical combiner and via an eyepiece lens superimposed. The outside information and the display image are imaged so as to be superimposed on a surface of a spatial modulator having a two-dimensional pixel structure. Part or all of the outside information and display image is selected on an area basis by the spatial modulator. The outside information and image information thus selected is observed through the eyepiece lens.
