摘要:
Methods for counting bacteria are described that include: (a) preparing an assay sample by staining a specimen using a fluorescent dye, thereby producing a difference in fluorescent intensity between live bacteria and dead bacteria; (b) detecting optical information from the assay sample; and (c) classifying and counting the live bacteria and the dead bacteria based on the detected optical information. Bacteria counting apparatuses and reagent kits for counting bacteria are also described.

The present invention provides a non-power source type monitor device installed in a place where a non-power source system needs to be used or a place preferably suitable for the non-power source system, in which a quantity generated energy not lower than several ten times as much as an output of electric current obtained by usual piezoelectric power generating device using steel balls can be assuredly obtained by striking a piezoelectric ceramics element once. A piezoelectric power generating device is formed commonly with capable of automatically repeatedly striking the piezoelectric ceramics element so that a quantity of generated energy of a practical level can be assuredly ensured as a power source of such type monitor device.

A vision assisting apparatus includes a casing for forming an inversely U-shaped optical path, a light entry, provided at one end of the optical path, through which light enters, a light exit, provided at another end of the optical path, through which light exits in an opposite direction to the light entry, an optical system for processing an image entered via the light entry by using the optical pass and outputting a processed image via the light exit, and attaching structure for attaching the casing to a wearer so that the light exit is positioned close to an eye of the wearer. By forming the inversely U-shaped optical path with the casing, it is possible to provide a sufficiently long optical path in a compact form. Accordingly it is possible to provide the vision assisting apparatus that does not hide facial expressions, is easy to use, and can provide a sufficient length for setting a magnifying optical system without extending the distance in the horizontal direction between the light entry and the light exit.
摘要:
In a pultrusion device for producing continuous length sections prepared from thermoplastic resins reinforced with long fibers, the vertical angle (&agr;) of an upstream conical surface of a conical portion, which constitutes a shaping nozzle perforated through the downstream end wall of the device ranges from 15 to 35 degrees and the shaping nozzle has a land portion having a length of 1 to 5 mm in the downstream area subsequent to the upstream conical surface. According to this pultrusion device for producing continuous length sections prepared from thermoplastic resins reinforced with long fibers, the long fibers never undergo any breakage nor fluffing during the opening treatment and this accordingly leads to the substantial reduction of pill-formation. As a result, the opening-impregnation device of the present invention provided at least with the downstream end wall carrying the shaping nozzle (including the land portion) can stably and continuously be operated over a long period of time, without any trouble such as those encountered in the conventional devices.
