Abstract:
Provided is a panel (3) for analysis having a chamber inside for transferring a sample liquid dispensed as a drop on an injection port (14). The injection port (14) is formed to protrude in a direction away from the chamber, a recessed section (12) is formed around the injection port (14), and the injection port (14) is arranged on the side of a rotating axis center (11) of a holding member (101) for the panel for analysis in an analyzer. Thus, even when a sample liquid is adhered around the injection port, contamination and shortage of the sample liquid can be prevented.
Abstract:
A semiconductor switch 12 connected in series with a smoothing capacitor 12 is constituted by connecting in parallel a diode 13D which permits to flow current regenerated from energy of electric charges stored in a high voltage capacitor 17 to a primary side of a high voltage transformer 15 for the smoothing capacitor 12 and switching means 13S which interrupts an output from the smoothing capacitor 12, and after turning off the switching means 13S, through alternative on and off control of switching means 161S˜164S the energy of electric charges stored in the high voltage capacitor 17 is regenerated to the smoothing capacitor 12 by making use of parasitic leakage inductance 15L. As a result, an X-ray high voltage device is provided which permits to drop a wave tail of a tube voltage in a high speed without complexing the structure of the high voltage part thereof.
Abstract:
A film forming apparatus which can perform a film forming process to a base material while the base material is being mounted on a die for a molding process. The film forming apparatus is provided with a cylinder-shaped frame body (1h) having one end closed with a bottom part and the other end opened, a target (1a) arranged on an inner plane of the bottom part, and a port (3b) formed to penetrate a wall part of the frame body (1h).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for switching input terminals based on device capability are disclosed. The method supplies a digital signal and an analog signal to a device. The method includes examination of whether or not a device is receiving a digital signal in an eligible format. The method also selects an analog input terminal to receive an analog signal unless the digital signal is being provided in the eligible format. The apparatus includes a digital input terminal to receive a digital signal, an analog input terminal to receive an analog signal, an IEEE1394 interface coupled with the digital input terminal, a HD decoder coupled with the IEEE1394 interface, a memory and a selector which selects the digital input terminal if the digital signal is in an eligible format for the device. The apparatus otherwise selects the analog input terminal. The selector may include a controller for examining whether or not the decoder is capable of decoding the digital signal, and a switch controlled by the controller so as to select the digital input terminal if the decoder is capable of decoding the digital signal, otherwise to select the analog input terminal.
Abstract:
A cylinder head assembly for an internal combustion engine houses a camshaft position sensor for determining an angular position of a camshaft. A cylinder head upper is disposed between a cylinder head and a cylinder head cover, covering a part of a top opening of the cylinder head. The cylinder head is softly mounted, while the cylinder head upper is rigidly mounted on the cylinder head. The cylinder head upper includes a sensor boss for the camshaft position sensor, so that the camshaft position sensor is facing downward toward a signal plate attached to the camshaft.
Abstract:
A communication terminal has an acquiring unit configured to acquire information related to a strength of a radio wave received, a selecting unit configured to select a data communication route based on the information acquired by the acquiring unit, and a storage unit configured to store information related to the data communication route selected by the selecting unit. The communication terminal is configured to perform wireless communication based on the information related to the data communication route.
Abstract:
An entertainment system includes a digital television connected to a number of audio/video input devices. The television and at least two of the input devices support analog legacy communication schemes. The television is adapted to uniquely identify the analog output channels from each of the input devices. Uniquely identifying the analog output channels from each input device enables the television to automatically select the correct device output from among the numerous possibilities. This automation relieves the user of having to manually select the correct analog channel.
