摘要:
A heating device includes a first electrode and a second electrode including a planar portion providing a support surface for supporting an object to be heated in an external gaseous atmosphere to which the object to be heated and the support surface are exposed. The second electrode is formed as an enclosure enclosing and spaced from at least a portion of first electrode to define an interior space therebetween isolated from the external gaseous atmosphere. An exhaust port provides communication with the interior space for reducing the pressure within the interior space. A power supplies current between the first and second electrodes to produce an electric discharge within the internal space, thereby heating the second electrode and the object supported thereon.

A mobile communication system includes a plurality of antennas for sending and receiving beams, a plurality of mobile terminals moving in a fixed direction substantially, and a zone-shift control unit for treating the moving mobile terminals locating within a predetermined area as a single moving zone and for controlling the antennas and directions of the beams so that the beams always cover the moving zone.

In an illumination optical system and a liquid crystal projector apparatus using the same, two lens arrays each comprising linear convex lens arrays with their pitches shifted from each other are used for improving image quality such as not to generate shadows of the cementing ridge of a cross dichroic prism, and a polarization-converting optical system is appropriately disposed, so as to obtain uniform illumination effects efficiently. The vertical angle ridge 71 of four prisms constituting the cross dichroic prism 70 is disposed so as to be orthogonal to the optical axis, the polarization-converting optical system 3 is disposed such that a plane including the vertical angle ridge 71 and optical axis and the direction along which stripes of half-wavelength phase films 32 extend are orthogonal to each other, and the direction of shifting the lens columns of a plurality of linear convex lens arrays constituting the first and second lens arrays 21 and 22 is orthogonal to the plane.

Printed decorative paper having a three dimensional pattern comprises base paper 1, a printed design layer 2 formed of a water-based ink as an undercoat on a surface of the base paper, an overlying printed design pattern layer 3 formed of a water-based curable ink containing a repellent in harmony with said pattern in the undercoat, and overlying water-based curable topcoat 4 applied to the entire surface of the base paper in such a way that said topcoat in the areas where said printed design pattern layer 3 is formed is repelled to form concavities 5. This printed decorative paper is environment friendly due to the non-use of organic solvents, is enhanced in durability as a interior decor material and can be produced with high efficiency.

A membrane switch is actuated by pressure transmitted from a movable key member through two coaxial springs connected end-to-end. A first of the two springs is held by the key member in a partially strained state requiring an initial force to strain it further. The second spring, smaller in diameter and stiffer than the first, has a free end at which force is applied to the membrane switch. As a top of the key member is pressed, the free end of the second spring moves toward, touches, then presses the membrane switch. Force builds rapidly with displacement in the small spring until it reaches the initial force under which the first spring is retained. This initial force is made roughly equal to the force required to actuate the membrane switch. After that point, the force-displacement characteristic is that of the two-spring combination, which is less stiff than the second spring alone. Thus, long key travel is permitted while the actuation force is reached early in the displacement of the key member. In one embodiment, a resilient boot, covering a key stem of the key switch, buckles when the key is pressed to provide a click-like feedback to an operator.

An objective lens comprising, respectively from the object: a first element of a positive lens, at the object end thereof, having a convex surface; a second element of a positive meniscus lens, at the object end thereof, having a convex surface; a third element of a negative lens, at the image end thereof, having a concave surface; a fourth element of a single lens or a cemented lens, at the object end thereof, having a convex surface, wherein the cemented lens includes two or three lenses; a fifth element of a negative lens, at the object end thereof, having a concave surface; and a sixth element of a positive lens, at the object end thereof, having a convex surface. The objective lens satisfies the following three conditional equations, assuming that "f" designates the focal distance of the entire lens system:0.44f

A shaped beam antenna system which provides a desired shape of beam, comprises a reflector and at least one primary radiator located essentially at focus of said reflector. Reflection surface of the reflector is a dense set of parabolas in which vertexes of said parabola shift on a predetermined locus which is preferably a three dimensional space curve, but not a plane curve. A second feature of the shaped beam antenna system is the primary radiator which is composed of a plurality of primary radiators positioned closely to each other.

An automatic immunoassay apparatus utilizes cartridges each having at least two wells, a first well containing solid phase material carrying antigen or antibody, and a second well containing antibody or antigen labelled with labelling compound. The wells may be sealed with a suitable sealing film before use and the sealing film is broken when the cartridge is to be used. The cartridges are transported to a predetermined position on a steppingly movable reaction line and conveyed thereby at a predetermined interval. While the reaction line steps, a sample, labelled antigen or antibody contained in the second well and substrate, if necessary, are added to the first well and stirred at predetermined timings, and reactions between the sample and a reactive solution are measured under control of a control device having a memory storing operator selectable programs for various measuring methods.
