Abstract: An antenna device to be mounted on a vehicle, including a ground plate having a planar shape; and an antenna element which is a resonant type, is provided at a position so as not to overlap with the ground conductor within a plane substantially parallel to the ground conductor, and is configured to transmit or receive a polarized wave parallel to the ground conductor. A rectangular notch is formed in the ground plate to have both a right and left edge portions with a predetermined width being left, and the antenna element is provided at a position overlapping with the notch in a plane substantially parallel to the ground plate.

Abstract: A manipulator is used to operate a surgical device that treats a body tissue. The manipulator includes a drive mechanism having a stationary section to be attached on a housing of a drive unit containing with at least one motor. A movable part is supported rotatably about a predetermined axis on the stationary section and having a connecting portion configured to be connected to the at least one motor when the stationary section is attached on the housing. A cover is configured to seal a gap between the movable part and the stationary section so as to prevent fluid from entering the gap between the movable part and the stationary part. A power transmission member is connected to both the movable part and the surgical device to transmit power from the motor to the surgical device.

Abstract: Provided is a self-support diamond substrate made of diamond and a method for producing such a substrate. A foundation substrate is prepared, several pieces of columnar diamond made of diamond single crystal are formed over one surface of the foundation substrate, the diamond single crystal is grown from the tip of each piece of columnar diamond, each piece of diamond single crystal is brought into coalescence to form a diamond substrate layer, the diamond substrate layer is separated from the foundation substrate, and the diamond substrate is produced from the diamond substrate layer. The difference between the highest point and the lowest point in the thickness direction of the diamond substrate is more than 0 ?m and 485 ?m or less and the variation of the angle of the crystal axis over the entire surface of the diamond substrate is more than 0° and 3.00° or less.

Abstract: When taking in outside air with a fan to control the temperature inside a covered portion where a specimen is installed, the internal temperature may change depending on an environment temperature to cause a difference in temperature control. The wind generated by the fan may blow against a reaction container depending on its loading position and it may influence the temperature control over individual specimens and lead to problems with temperature accuracy, temperature rise speed, and temperature drop speed. A reaction container avoiding these problems has a covered portion which performs temperature control on the reaction container and in which a cover and a fin cover have a heat insulating structure. A heat source is provided for controlling an internal temperature of an internal covered space. The internal temperature is kept constant and the influence of the environment temperature over the temperature control of the reaction container is minimized.
