A mathod of manufacturing a piezoelectric/electrostrictive divice includes an additional member that is provided at a border between an inner wall surface of a thin plate section formed by a long ceramic plate and a side surface (cutout surface) formed by a short ceramic plate. Assuming that a surface of the additional member forms a curve C as viewed in vertical cross section, the curve C is a free curve having one inflection point. The additional member has a portion C2 which extends along the inner wall surface of the thin plate section with its surface extending substantially in parallel toward the border, and a curved portion C3 which is disposed at a part corresponding to the border.

A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device 10 includes a stationary portion 11; a thin-plate portion 12 supported by the stationary portion; and a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element 14 including a plurality of electrodes and a plurality of piezoelectric/electrostrictive layers which are laminated alternately. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive device 10 is manufactured as follows: firstly, a piezoelectric/electrostrictive laminate composed of laminar electrodes and piezoelectric/electrostrictive layers is formed on the surface of a thin-plate body which is to become the thin-plate portion 12; subsequently, the thin-plate body and the piezoelectric/electrostrictive laminate are cut; and the resultant cut surface (lateral end surface) is finished through polishing, so as to attain an arithmetic average surface roughness of 0.05 μm or less. This finishing process enables occurrence of uniform residual strain in the vicinity of the lateral end surface, as well as elimination of microcracks generated in the vicinity of the lateral end surface through the above cutting, thereby effectively preventing particle separation from the lateral end surface.

A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device includes a ceramic substrate and a piezoelectric/electrostrictive element formed on the ceramic substrate. The ceramic substrate includes fixed sections which have a large thickness, a pair of thin plate sections which are formed continuously from the fixed sections and which are thinner than the fixed sections, and movable sections which are provided at ends of the pair of thin plate sections. An additional member is used at least between the pair of thin plate sections and the movable sections. The additional member is a porous member or at least one columnar member.

The present invention provides a piezo-electric/electrostrictive device including a pair of thin plate sections in an opposed relation to each other, a fixing section for supporting the thin plate sections, and at least one pair of piezo-electric/electrostrictive elements are provided to the pair of thin plate sections. The thin plate sections include movable sections having end surfaces in an opposed relation. Recesses between the thin plate sections are filled with a filler are formed at the boundaries between the thin plate sections, and the fixing section and the movable sections. As a result, the impact resistance of the device is enhanced. The present invention also relates to a method for producing such a device.

A vehicular occupant restraint system is provided with an airbag and an inflator. A front end of the folded airbag is housed within a front pillar garnish covering a side face on the occupant compartment side of a front pillar, and impact absorbing ribs are formed on the inner face of the front pillar garnish only in a section(s) that receives little deformation when the airbag is deployed. Since the front pillar garnish can be easily flexed when the air bag is deployed, there is neither inhibition to the smooth deployment of the airbag nor splitting and scattering of a part of the front pillar garnish. Moreover, since the impact absorbing ribs are formed on the front pillar garnish in the section(s) that receives little deformation, the impact of a secondary collision to an occupant can be absorbed effectively by the impact absorbing ribs.

Disclosed are metalloprotease proteins or their salts usable for treatment or prophylaxis of conformational diseases and for providing a screening kit for selection of carcinostatics and anti-metastatic agents. The metalloprotease proteins have an amino acid sequence set forth under SEQ ID NO:1 or NO:2 in the Sequence Listing. The proteins have a neutral optimal pH, hydrolyze endothelin 1, atrial natriuretic peptide and angiotensin I and are inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline, phosphoramidon and thiorphan.

摘要:
A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device comprises a pair of mutually opposing thin plate sections, a movable section, and a fixation section for supporting the thin plate sections and the movable section. A piezoelectric/electrostrictive element is arranged on at least one thin plate section of the pair of thin plate sections. A hole is formed by the inner walls of the pair of thin plate sections, the movable section and the fixation section. A central portion of the movable section is cut off to form mutually opposing end surfaces in the movable section.

A piezoelectric/electrostrictive device including a pair of mutually opposing thin plate sections and a fixation section for supporting the thin plate sections. A piezoelectric/electrostrictive element is arranged on each of the pair of thin plate sections. Movable sections, having mutually opposing end surfaces, are formed proximate the ends of the thin plate sections. A distance between the end surfaces is not less than a length of the movable sections.

A rubber stopper for a vial comprising a body member 1 and a sheet of polyethylene 3 having an average molecular weight of 1,300,000 to 8,000,000, a surface being contacted with an inner surface of a mouth and a liquid medicine, or a top surface 1b of which is covered. The molecular chains of polyethylene are partially ramified by heat to be branched and partially crosslinked with a rubber of the body. Therefore, adhesion of them is high and a smoothness of the surface of the sheet portion is improved.
