In an image sensing apparatus having a zoom lens, a zoom ring that designates driving of the zoom ring at the time of image sensing, a power switch, and a zoom controller of the zoom lens that is capable of changing a driving speed of the zoom lens, it is determined whether or not operation of the zoom ring is performed in combination with predetermined operation of the power switch. In a case where the operation is performed in combination, the driving direction of the zoom lens designated by the zoom ring is detected, and driving of the zoom lens is continued in the detected driving direction during performance of the predetermined operation of the power switch irrespective of continuation or discontinuation of the zoom ring operation.

A dry-etching method comprises the step of dry-etching a metal thin film as a chromium-containing film, wherein the method is characterized by using, as an etching gas, a mixed gas including (a) a reactive ion etching gas, which contains an oxygen-containing gas and a halogen-containing gas, and (b) a reducing gas added to the gas component (a), in the process for dry-etching the metal thin film. The dry-etching method permits the production of a photomask by forming patterns to be transferred to a wafer on a photomask blank. The photomask can in turn be used for manufacturing semiconductor circuits. The method permits the decrease of the dimensional difference due to the coexistence of coarse and dense patterns in a plane and the production of a high precision pattern-etched product.

A hydrogen generator is connected to a fuel cell installed in a vehicle as a driving power source. The hydrogen generator can produce an amount of vapor by a vaporizer that is more than a required vapor amount which produces an amount of hydrogen required to generate a certain power for driving the vehicle. Accordingly, a sufficient amount of energy can be readily supplied to the vehicle.

A projector for use in a measuring device is provided with an emitter which emits a beam of visible light to a measurement object along a predetermined optical axis, a rotary optical member which is operable to change the propagation direction of the visible light beam with respect to the predetermined optical axis in accordance with rotation of the rotary optical member, and a driver which rotates the rotary optical member about a rotation axis. The projector accurately indicates a measurement area on a measurement object in simpler construction.

A fuel reformer (30) includes a reformer unit (32) for receiving supplies of methanol and water and producing a hydrogen-rich reformed gas and a partial oxidizing unit (34) filled with a platinum-ruthenium alloy catalyst for oxidizing carbon monoxide in the reformed gas produced by the reformer unit (32) preferentially over hydrogen in the reformed gas. The platinum-ruthenium alloy catalyst charged in the partial oxidizing unit (34) lowers the concentration of carbon monoxide in the hydrogen-rich gas containing a trace amount of methanol to several ppm in its active temperature range of 80.degree. C. to 100.degree. C. This structure enables a gaseous fuel having extremely low concentrations of methanol and carbon monoxide to be produced by the fuel reformer (30) and supplied to polymer electrolyte fuel cells having an extremely low allowable limit of carbon monoxide concentration.

A method of manufacturing a hydrogen separation membrane with a carrier is characterized by including a first step of providing, between the hydrogen separation membrane and the carrier that supports the hydrogen separation membrane, a low-hardness metal membrane having a hardness that is lower than the hardness of the hydrogen separation membrane, and a second step of joining the hydrogen separation membrane, the low-hardness metal membrane, and the carrier by a cold joining method. In this case, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the hydrogen separation membrane, the low-hardness metal membrane, and the carrier and, as a result, it is possible to prevent damaging of the hydrogen separation membrane. The adhesion of the contact between the hydrogen separation membrane and the carrier is also improved. The result is that it is not necessary to increase the severity of the cold joining conditions.
摘要:
In response to an input of an instruction of still image capturing when a moving image is being captured, an image pickup apparatus compresses predetermined image data as an IDR frame of a moving image more than once, and uses a plurality of acquired IDR frames more than once to record the IDR frames onto a recording medium as moving image data in such an order that the IDRIDs of the adjacent IDR frames are not identical.

A shooting target detection unit detects a main shooting target from a position where a touch-down operation is performed on a touch panel. A system control device causes a ranging control device and an exposure control device to perform AF processing and AE processing on the main shooting target. The system control device displays a continuous shooting switch near the touched position. The system control device performs continuous shooting if a user moves his/her finger to the continuous shooting switch and then performs a touch-up operation. Whereas, the system control device performs single shooting if the user performs the touch-up operation without moving his/her finger to the continuous shooting switch.
