An optical waveguide device usable as an optical wave-modulator and having a reduced DC drift includes a LiNbO.sub.3 substrate, an optical waveguide formed in a front surface portion of the substrate, a dielectric layer covering the front surface of the substrate and the optical waveguide surface, and an electrode system arranged on the dielectric layer, the dielectric layer comprising a matrix component consisting of an amorphous SiO.sub.2 and a doping element component consisting of Li and/or Nb; and having a refractive index lower than that of the amorphous SiO.sub.2 matrix free from the doping element component.
摘要:
A position detection element 4 is formed by sequentially depositing an X-axis resistor film 5, a photoconductive film 6 and a Y-axis resistor film 7 on one surface of a glass substrate 2 which is a transparent member. Further, a light screening film 3 is formed on the other surface of the glass substrate 2. At that time, a pin hole 31 through which light is transmitted is formed at a central portion of the light screening film 3. Where the position detection element 4 and the light screening film 3 are formed integrally with and on the glass substrate 2, mounting of the glass substrate 2 on a casing of a sensor enables the position detection element 4 and the light screening film 3 to be mounted on the casing of the sensor, thus improving the mounting property of the light position detection element 4 and the light screening film 3 on the casing.
摘要:
A two-way conductive directional circuit formed in a polycrystalline silicon layer separated by an insulation film from a semiconductive element is one-way biased for sensing a temperature of the semiconductive element. The directional circuit may be provided with a bias in either conductive direction thereof for sensing a temperature of the semiconductive element, before being provided with a bias in the other conductive direction thereof for sensing the temperature of the semiconductive element.

This invention provides a carbon nanostructure including: carbon containing rod-shaped materials and/or carbon containing sheet-shaped materials which are bound three-dimensionally; and graphene multilayer membrane walls which are formed in the rod-shaped materials and/or the sheet-shaped materials; wherein air-sac-like pores, which are defined by the graphene multilayer membrane walls, are formed in the rod-shaped materials and/or the sheet-shaped materials.
摘要:
An aerosol aspirator has a casing (2) with a mouthpiece (8) and an outside air inlet (52), a generation passage (56, 60, 68) extending from the outside air inlet (52) to the mouthpiece (8), a syringe pump (18) arranged within the casing (2) to deliver a solution to a distributing position (A) in the generation passage in a fixed amount each time it is activated, and a tubular heater (58) disposed downstream of the distributing position (A) and forming a part of the generation passage. When a user sucks at the mouthpiece (8), the solution at the distributing position (A) is transferred from the position (A) into the heater (58), and within the heater, atomized, and then turns into an aerosol by condensing in sucked air flow, and the aerosol thus formed is sucked by the user with the air flow.
摘要:
An oral tobacco product (1) has a pouch (2) made of a nonwoven fabric, a tobacco mixture containing tobacco particles made from tobacco materials as a major ingredient, enclosed in the pouch (2), and a water-repellent area (30) formed on an inner surface of the pouch (2) to account for 50% of the entire inner surface of the pouch, the water-repellent area preventing permeation of water.
摘要:
An imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor; a pixel output judging processor which judges if a pixel output reaches a saturation level or not; a pixel output compensation processor which performs a compensating operation to compensate a pixel output of a pixel of a specific color which reaches the saturation level; a bit compression convertor which performs a bit compression such that pixel output data, which is once converted from a first bit number to a second bit number, is converted again to the first bit number; a histogram producer which produces a brightness histogram of a photographic subject image; and a calculator which calculates a ratio of the number of pixels of a maximum brightness area to the number of entire pixels from the brightness histogram, wherein the bit compression convertor performs the bit compression based on a bit compression characteristic set on the basis of the ratio of the number of pixels of the maximum brightness area.
摘要:
A fluid storage container enables the easy removal of recovered fluid and reuse of the container without incurring the added costs of disassembly and replacing an absorbent material. In one exemplary embodiment, an ink cartridge 17 can have an ink storage unit 45 that stores waste ink, an ink inlet/outlet 55 disposed in a frame part 52 that can be the outside wall of the ink storage unit 45, an ink path 53 of which one end 53a communicates with the ink inlet/outlet 55 and the other end 53b is disposed opening into the ink storage unit, wall parts 54 that divide the ink storage unit 45 into an upper air chamber 61 and a lower fluid chamber 62 that communicate with each other through a communication path 58, and an outside air channel 87, of which one end 87a communicates with the air chamber 61 and the other end 87b enables communication with the outside at a position further from the air chamber 61 than the fluid chamber 62. Other embodiments of fluid storage containers are also disclosed.
