Abstract: To provide a graphene sheet that has a large area, is homogeneous, and has a small amount of domain boundaries, a novel method for producing a graphene sheet suitable for industrial applications, such as application to electronics, that is capable of producing a graphene sheet that has well aligned crystal orientation at a low cost, and a graphene sheet. In the method for producing a graphene sheet of the present invention, a substrate containing a single crystal substrate having formed on the surface thereof an epitaxial metal film is used, and a graphene sheet is grown by making a carbon material into contact with the surface of the epitaxial metal film. In the graphene sheet of the present invention, the graphene sheet is constituted by a number of graphene domains, the domains each have an area of from 0.000001 ?m2 to 100,000 mm2, and the orientations of 6-membered rings in the domains are averagely aligned in a single direction over the graphene sheet.

Abstract: An optical component includes a multilayered optical thin film formed on a substrate. A critical load value of the optical thin film that includes at least one layer that is formed by a vacuum deposition method is greater than or equal to 30 mN. The critical load value is a value evaluated by a measurement method complying with JIS R3255 “Testing methods for adhesion of thin films on a glass substrate”.

Abstract: An automatic system for carrying a reservoir and metering liquid from the reservoir comprising a vertical shelf for storing a plurality of reservoirs therein, a transferring mechanism disposed adjacent the supply shelf for transferring a reservoir toward horizontal and vertical directions, a tilting device for receiving the reservoir and tilting it from an upright to a horizontal position, a valve mechanism for controlling a liquid flow through a valve attached to the reservoir, and a balance for supporting a collecting container to receive droppings from the valve. The transferring mechanism including a platform to support the reservoir thereon, an attracting means to draw out the reservoir, and a cylinder to move the reservoir back and forth.

Abstract: A display arrangement for displaying information perspectively or three-dimensionally has a first and second display devices. The first display device is positioned behind a semitransparent mirror and displays a first information which is directly viewed through the semitransparent mirror. The second display device is positioned to intersect the first display device at an acute angle and displays a second information downwardly. The second information from the second display device is reflected by the semitransparent mirror to be viewed indirectly. Since the virtual image of the second information is formed on a plane which is symmetric to the second display device with respect to the semitransparent mirror, it is viewed as displayed perspectively or three-dimensionally.

Abstract: Process and apparatus for metering liquid colorant from a primary color reservoir having a valve for controlling the liquid flow into a collecting container. The process comprises the steps of disposing the valve into required position, operating a drive member to open and close the valve, permitting the liquid colorant to flow into the container, preparing three stages of successive metering controls, and automatically metering the liquid colorant through one or more stages. The apparatus comprises a plurality of reservoir bases, tilting device, operating member of the valve and balance for measuring the weight.
