Abstract: A medical apparatus and a method of manufacturing the medical apparatus, which have an advantage in cost performance, are provided even if optical fibers are used therein. The medical apparatus includes, therein, a first optical fiber 6322 configured to transmit an optical signal, a second optical fiber 651 configured to transmit an optical signal, and a first optical connector 66 configured to connect the first optical fiber 6322 and the second optical fiber 651.

Abstract: An information management method collects log information of one or more home electrical apparatuses corresponding to service providers. Display screen data is generated which indicates a status of the log information. The display screen data includes groups of information which each contain information on an apparatus, a service provider corresponding to the apparatus, and log information output from the apparatus. Provision of the log information of each group is individually selectable. The display screen data is provided via a network to a display terminal that performs access to a server device. Information is received from the display terminal, which indicates that selection on whether or not provision of the log information is performed. Provision of the log information is not performed on the selected group when a determination is made that refusal of provision of the log information on the selected group is performed.

Abstract: An array substrate for an FPD device, wherein, in each of the display pixel dots in the display area, the first connection wiring is connected to the pixel electrode via a contact hole while the second connection wiring is connected to the signal line via a contact hole; in each of the dummy pixel dots, the first connection wiring is not electrically connected to any of the pixel electrodes; in the peripheral non-viewing area extending in a direction along the signal line, the first connection wiring extends in a direction away from the scanning line at a position distanced from the switching element, and has a pad having a width larger than other part of the first connection wiring at its distal end.

Abstract: An elastic eye-bush is provided for use in combination with the eyeend of an automobile leaf spring, etc. for absorption of radially applied shock loads. The bush has its intermediate portion diametrically reduced so as to provide a space between the eyeend and the intermediate portion, which portion is made up of co-centrically stratified layers of different hardness. The eye-bush offers an improved damping characteristic exhibiting a low spring constant under smaller loads and a high one under larger loads.
