Abstract: A papermaking belt may suppress resin fallings from the resin layer during its use. Such a papermaking belt may be used in a papermaking machine and may include at least one resin layer including a resin, wherein the total number of swellings whose height is equal to or higher than 50 ?m and cracks whose length is equal to or longer than 10 mm on at least one surface of the resin layer is equal to or less than 1.0/m2. Such a papermaking belt may be used in a papermaking machine and may include at least one resin layer including a resin. The resin layer may be formed using a resin composition including an aqueous dispersion of a urethane resin. The resin composition may include an organic solvent whose boiling point at 1 atm is equal to or higher than 100° C.

Abstract: A temperature control method includes a switchover process, an ignition process, a slope calculation process, a first and a second control processes. In the switchover process, a heat medium to be supplied into a flow path is switched from a heat medium of a first temperature supplied from a first temperature controller to a heat medium of a second temperature supplied from a second temperature controller. In the slope calculation process, a slope of temperature change of the heat medium is calculated based on a temperature of the heat medium at an outlet side of the flow path. In the first control process, the second temperature controller is controlled until the temperature of the heat medium is stabilized to a temperature lower than a set value. In the second control process, the second temperature controller is controlled such that the temperature of the heat medium reaches the set value.

Abstract: A lens unit includes a guided portion that includes a first bearing portion and a second bearing portion disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a direction X and is slidably supported by a guide shaft, and a lens holding member. The lens unit includes a first tilt-preventing member having a linear expansion coefficient lower than a linear expansion coefficient of the lens holding member. The first tilt-preventing member is fixed to a region of the guided portion positioned between the first bearing portion and second bearing portion.

Abstract: A lens unit includes a guided portion that includes a first bearing portion and a second bearing portion disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a direction X and is slidably supported by a guide shaft, and a lens holding member. A first distance between the center of a fixing portion of the lens holding member and the center of the first bearing portion in the direction X is set to be longer than a second distance between the center of the fixing portion and the center of the second bearing portion in the direction X. A first tilt-preventing member having a linear expansion coefficient lower than that of the lens holding member is fixed to a region, which is closer to the first bearing portion than the center of the fixing portion, of a portion of the guided portion positioned between the first and second bearing portions.

Abstract: Ceramic is molded to produce a molded ceramic product, using a mold that has a portion for forming the trough of a first thread formed on the molded ceramic product. The trough of the first thread is higher than the crest of a second thread formed on a mating component to be engaged with the first thread. Subsequently, the molded ceramic is fired. The trough of the first thread formed on the molded ceramic product thus produced has a depth that allows the trough of the first thread to avoid interference with the crest of the second thread of the mating component.

Abstract: A lens assembly has: optical members including lenses and spacing rings; and a ceramic lens frame into which the optical members are inserted. A solid lubricant is applied to at least one of a part of the inner peripheral surface of the ceramic lens frame, which part is to be in contact with at least the outer peripheral surfaces of the optical members, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the optical members. Subsequently, the lenses and spacing rings are alternately inserted into the ceramic lens frame and then pressed by a pressing ring.

Abstract: A lens assembly made of porous ceramic is provided with concave sections into which an adhesive for fixing lenses inserted into a lens frame is injected. Each of the concave sections has an outward opening and a spacing wall provided between a hollow part of the lens frame and the opening. The adhesive injected into the concave sections passes through multiple pores in the lens frame made of porous ceramic, and reaches the periphery of each of the lenses, thereby fixing the lenses to an inner wall of the hollow part of the lens frame.

Abstract: A lens assembly includes a barrel having an object-side opening and an image-forming-side opening. The barrel further has a positioning section that positions an image-forming-side surface of a lens by having line contact around an optical axis at a center. The positioning section is disposed at a position that is closer to an object side than the image-forming-side opening of the barrel is. The barrel also has an image-forming section that extends from the positioning section to a center of the optical axis along the image-forming-side surface of the lens and forms an edge of the image-forming-side opening of the barrel.
