    Abstract: A particle counter is configured to count particles contained in a sample fluid flowing through a flow passage by using light with which the flow passage is irradiated. The particle counter includes: a multi-flow cell having a plurality of the flow passages; a path adjuster configured to adjust a position of an optical path of the light with respect to the multi-flow cell, based on which flow passage is selected from the flow passages; and a light adjuster configured to adjust a condition of the light with which the selected flow passage is irradiated.

    Abstract: The electromechanical transducer is provided with: a structure portion in which a magnet, yokes, and a coil are integrally arranged; an armature which includes an inner portion penetrating through an internal space of the structure portion along a central axis in the X-direction, and outer portions, constitutes a magnetic circuit with the structure portion, and is displaced in the Z-direction; and elastic members providing the armature with a recovery force. Each of the elastic members has a first and a second engaging portions. A width in which a force in the Z-direction acts between each of the elastic members and the structure portion via the first engaging portion has a first distance. A width between each of the elastic members and the outer portion via the second engaging portion has a second distance in the Y-direction, wherein the dimension condition of 2a>2×2b is set.

    Abstract: An electroacoustic transducer includes an electromechanical transducer and a casing. The electromechanical transducer transduces an electric signal into mechanical vibration. The housing can be attached to a cavum conchae without blocking an external auditory canal, in which the electromechanical transducer is housed, and vibrates due to the mechanical vibration caused by the electromechanical transducer to generate sound. The housing includes an inner housing portion located on the external auditory canal side and an outer housing portion located on an external environment side when the housing is attached to the cavum conchae. The housing has an ellipsoidal shape or an oval shape.

    Abstract: An electromechanical transducer of the invention comprises a structural unit, an armature, and the first and second elastic units. The structural unit includes magnets, a yoke and a coil. The armature includes an inner portion disposed to pass through inside the structural unit and two outer portions protruding from the inner portion in a first direction, and the armature constitutes a magnetic circuit with the structural unit via two regions through which components of the magnetic flux flow in reverse directions in the inner region. The elastic units give restoring forces to the outer portions in response to displacement of the armature due to magnetic forces of the magnetic circuit. In the armature, a cross-sectional area at a predetermined position between the two regions is smaller than that at the two regions, and magnetic flux flowing in the first direction within a range of displacement of the armature.
