Abstract:
There is provided an optical recording media cartridge, which is provided with a case that accommodates the optical recording media and that has an opening, and a shutter that is attached to the case and that is movable between a first position at which the shutter covers the opening and a second position. The optical recording media cartridge is further provided with a shutter lock mechanism that locks the shutter while the shutter is positioned at the first position, and a shutter release mechanism that releases the shutter locked by the shutter lock mechanism by utilizing a magnetic force exerted thereon.
Abstract:
A rotation transfer mechanism includes a rotatable ring including an annular gear portion on an outer peripheral surface thereof; a rotation transfer gear including a gear portion engageable with the annular gear portion and a rotation limit portion engageable with an outer edge of the annular gear portion to prohibit the rotation transfer gear from rotating; and a driven member drivable by a rotation of the rotation transfer gear. The rotation transfer gear and the rotatable ring are positioned relative to each other such that the gear portion and the annular gear portion are engaged with each other when the rotatable ring performs a fixed-position rotating operation, and such that the rotation limit portion faces the annular gear portion and is configured to contact the outer edge of the annular gear portion when the rotatable ring performs an advancing/retracting operation.
Abstract:
A cam mechanism for a lens barrel includes a cam ring including at a cam groove which is open at one end; a support ring supporting an imaging component, the support ring having a cam follower engageable with the cam groove and movable therein towards and away from the open end, wherein the support ring is movable along an axis relative to the cam ring without rotation; and a movement limiter configured to stop or limit disengagement of the cam follower from the open end of the cam groove.
Abstract:
A film scanner includes a light source, an illumination optical system which illuminates a film surface of a film with a light bundle emitted from the light source after the light bundle is varied in accordance with a film size of the film, and an image pickup optical system which makes the light bundle transmitted through the film surface incident upon an image pickup element after the light bundle is varied in accordance with the size of an effective area of the image pickup element.
Abstract:
An observation optical device comprises first and second focusing mechanisms, an association mechanism, and a reticle. The first focusing mechanism focuses an observation optical system. The second focusing mechanism focuses a photographing optical system. The association mechanism keeps the observation optical system and the photographing optical system in a focused state. The reticle is provided for focusing the observation optical system with a predetermined dioptric power during an operation of the association mechanism. The second focusing mechanism is constructed in such a manner that a measured dioptric power difference between a first dioptric power of an ocular lens system of the observation optical system and a second dioptric power of a combination of the observation optical system and the photographing optical system is cancelled.
Abstract:
A bone replacement material for use in a treatment for repairing a vertebral body compression fracture is formed into a pellet having a roughly polyhedral shape. Each pellet having the roughly polyhedral shape has a pair of opposite surfaces, in which one of the opposite surfaces is inclined with respect to the other surface for a predetermined angle. The angle is preferably in the range of 10 to 60null. Further, the volume of each pellet of the bone replacement material 1 is in the range of 13 to 239 mm3. Furthermore, the bone replacement material is formed of calcium phosphate based compound having the Ca/P ratio of 1.0 to 2.0. By using such a bone replacement material, it is possible to carry out packing operation of the bone replacement material into a collapsed vertebral body smoothly, reliably and safely.
Abstract:
There is provided an optical head, which is provided with a light emitting device, a deflector, an objective lens, and an error signal detecting system. In this configuration, the deflector includes a prism having a first surface into which the light beam from the light emitting device enters, a second surface from which the light beam proceeding toward the objective lens emerges, and a third surface from which the light beam reflected by the optical disc emerges. Further, the prism satisfies a condition: null1nullnull2, where null1 represents an angle which the second surface forms with respect to the first surface, and null2 represents an angle which the third surface forms with respect to the first surface.
Abstract:
There is provided an optical communication apparatus, which is provided with a light emitting device that emits a transmission light signal modulated with transmission data, an optical fiber, and a deflecting system that is located between the light emitting device and the optical fiber so as to move a position of the transmission light signal on an entrance surface of the optical fiber. The optical communication apparatus is further provided with a feedback control system that controls the deflecting system so as to move the position of the transmission light signal to a center of a core of the optical fiber based on intensity of a portion of the transmission light signal.
Abstract:
A zoom eyepiece optical system, which is used with an objective optical system, includes a first lens group which is stationary with respect to the objective optical system, a negative second lens group which is movable upon zooming, a positive third lens group which is movable upon zooming, and a stationary positive fourth lens group, in this order from the objective optical system. Upon zooming from the long focal length extremity to the short focal length extremity of the zoom eyepiece optical system, the negative second lens group and the positive third lens group move away from each other, and an intermediate image is formed between the negative second lens group and the positive third lens group.
Abstract:
A portable apparatus comprises an inner frame, a casing attached to the inner frame, and a display panel. The display panel is directly connected to the inner frame and is movable between a folded position and a display position. A panel passing opening is formed in the casing. The display panel is set to a predetermined position between the folded position and the display position, so that the display panel can pass through the panel passing opening, enabling the casing to be attached to and detached from the inner frame.
