摘要:
A robot arm has a drive gear that has a shaft, a gear frame being capable of turning about the shaft of the drive gear, a first follower gear being capable of turning, in synchronization with the drive gear, about a shaft fixed to the gear frame, in a direction opposite to the turning direction of the drive gear, a transmission control mechanism that is capable of locking the first follower gear to the drive gear, an arm that moves in synchronization with the first follower gear, and a collision detection unit that is capable of detecting a collision between the arm and an obstacle. The transmission control mechanism unlocks the follower gear from the drive gear in response to detection, by the collision detection unit, of a collision between the arm and the obstacle. The robot arm enables quick cushioning of the impact force of the collision.

The joint mechanism includes a first link, a second link, a third link, a shaft supported on the second link to be rotatable about an axis thereof, and movable in an axis direction thereof, a first worm and a second worm mounted on the shaft, a first worm wheel in mesh with the first worm to pivotally move the first link with respect to the second link, and a second worm wheel in mesh with the second worm to pivotally move the third link with respect to the second link. The first link and the third link are pivotally moved in opposite directions to each other by rotating the shaft, and pivotally moved in identical directions to each other by moving the shaft in the axis direction.

An observation optical system comprises an image display element 5 and an eyepiece optical system which introduces an image formed by the image display element 5 to a center of an eye of an observer without forming an intermediate image, so as to allow the observer to observe the image as a virtual image. The eyepiece optical system is constructed and arranged to bend the optical axis using reflecting surfaces so as to be compact. The optical axis lies in a plane, with respect to which the optical system is formed symmetric. The optical system includes a prism 3 having an entrance surface 33, a plurality of curved reflecting surfaces 31, 32 and an exit surface 31. The reflecting surface 32 is provided with a volume hologram (HOE) 4. Whereby, it is possible to provide an image observation optical system which can be made compact enough to be usable as an image display unit for a cellular phone or a portable intelligent terminal, and which can achieve high image definition and wide field angle while controlling chromatic aberration of magnification to be small.

A method for producing a hydrocyanic acid synthesis catalyst is disclosed which comprises sequential exposure of an iron surface, such as, for example, pig iron, to sequential oxidative and reductive atmospheres, preferably using repetitive cycles, the oxidative atmosphere preferably containing 5% to 3% by volume oxygen and the reductive atmosphere preferably containing 1% to 99% hydrogen.
摘要:
A method for removing cells from a fermentation broth obtained by culturing a microorganism belonging to the genus Escherichia through a membrane to separate the cells, comprising adding polyethyleneimine to the fermentation broth to form a mixture, and then filtering the mixture through the membrane to separate the cells, said method resulting in improving the membrane permeation rate compared to when no polyethyleneimine is added.
摘要:
A hetero-junction bipolar transistor having an emitter composed of a semiconductor having a wider forbidden band width than that of a semiconductor constituting a base is disclosed. In the transistor, the emitter and the electrode leader area composed of a single crystalline semiconductor are provided being extended from the upper part of the emitter to the surface of the base through an insulating layer, for the purpose of making it possible to miniaturize the transistor and to operate the transistor at a high-speed by decreasing the emitter resistance.
摘要:
A cement additive for inhibiting concrete deterioration contains as an effective component a powder mixture of an inorganic cation exchanger, such as a highly calcium-substituted zeolite, and an inorganic anion exchanger, such as hydrocalumite. The cement additive inhibits the alkali-aggregate reaction and the corrosion of reinforcing steel, thereby protecting concrete constructions from deterioration.
