摘要:
A fixed electrode and a movable electrode to be used to drive each arm are formed at a drive unit. As a voltage is applied between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode, the movable electrode is caused to move by coulomb force, thereby driving the arm 3 in a closing operation. By detecting a change occurring in the electrostatic capacity between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode at this time, a decision can be made as to whether or not the sample has been gripped.

A surface reforming method capable of efficiently carrying out a sustainable, even reforming treatment on a prescribed surface part of an element, a surface treatment liquid to be employed for the above-described method, and an element having a reformed surface treated by the above-described method. A part of the surface of an element is subjected to the reforming treatment by providing the object surface with a polymer, which is different from a constituent material of the object surface and comprises a first part having a functional group and a second part having an interfacial energy different from that of the functional group and approximately equal to the surface energy of the object surface and orienting the second part of the polymer toward the object surface and orienting the first part in a direction different from the object surface.

A probe mechanism and a sample pick up mechanism of the invention are provided at an observing apparatus or an analyzing apparatus and characterized in including a tip member comprising a needle-like member brought into contact with a sample, including a driving electrostatic actuator and means for monitoring a change in an electrostatic capacitance between electrodes of the electrostatic actuator, and capable of sensing that the probe is brought into contact with a sample by the monitor.
摘要:
A fixed electrode and a movable electrode used to drive each arm are disposed at a drive unit. As a voltage is applied between the fixed electrode and the movable the electrode, a coulomb force causes the movable the electrode to move, thereby driving the arms along the closing direction. The dimensions of a sample can be measured based upon the electrostatic capacity achieved between the electrodes when the sample becomes gripped by the arms.

For the sake of achieving both the size and weight reductions of a printing apparatus and increasing the reliability thereof, an ink tank is provided with a gas-permeable member that permits air to pass without permitting ink. The ink tank is capable of introducing ink through an ink inlet by negative pressure introduced in the ink tank through a common suction port.

An ink jet recording apparatus includes the above joint device, a supply pipe, a closing device, a deformation device, and an urging device. An ink supplying device includes a negative-pressure introducing device introducing negative pressure into the ink tank an ink supplying device supplying the ink to the ink tank, a gas-liquid separating device provided between the ink tank and the negative-pressure introducing device, for transmitting gases therethrough while not transmitting the ink therethrough, and an isolation device separating the negative-pressure introducing path.
摘要:
A ventilating apparatus for a conveyance has a first conduit disposed on the upper portion of a vehicle so as to supply conditioned air allowed to flow from an air conditioned device into a compartment, a second conduit disposed in the lower portion of the vehicle so as to suck and circulate air in the compartment, a a third conduit disposed in the lower portion of the vehicle so as to suck and introduce air in the compartment into an exhaust device. The air conditioning device conditions air by mixing air circulated from the second conduit and air sucked from the outside of the compartment by a suction device. When the compartment is partitioned, the ventilating apparatus is individually provided for each partitioned compartment and the third conduit is connected to a discharge port of a lavatory.
