A blood rheology measuring apparatus has a measuring portion for measuring blood circulation information inside of a living body from outside of the living body. The blood circulation information is a maximum blood flow velocity for one pulse. An information processing portion processes the measured information from the measuring portion to obtain information concerning a blood rheology of the living body.

An ink storage container having a simply configured ink exchange function is provided, whereby the amount of stored ink is increased. An air flow control unit for controlling the flow of air between the inside and outside is disposed in an ink storage unit for storing ink. The air flow control unit includes: a valve element that is formed of an interconnected porous material and allows air to be exchanged between the inside and outside of the ink storage unit according to positive and negative changes in the internal pressure of the ink storage unit; and a liquid repellent membrane that has air permeability and liquid repellency and is disposed on an ink side of the valve element.

In the brushless motor, a magnetic recording disk is to be mounted on a hub. A base plate rotatably supports the hub on the upper surface. A laminated core is fixed on the upper surface of the base plate and has a ring portion and a plurality of teeth that extend radially from the ring portion. Coils are wound around the plurality of teeth. A cylindrical magnet is fixed to the hub and is magnetized for driving with a plurality of poles along the circumferential direction and is arranged to radially face the plurality of teeth of the laminated core. A wire of one end of one of the coils is drawn out to the bottom surface of the base plate through a hole arranged on the base plate. The wire is connected to a driving line for supplying a current to the coils at a position other than the position of the hole on the base plate. The hole of the base plate is plugged with a resin.

A stator core has 3N salient poles arranged circularly where N is a natural number of four or more but except a multiple of three. Coils are formed around the salient poles where winding directions of the coils is the same for the salient poles. A first, a second and a third crossover are formed between a first and an (N+1)-th salient pole, between the (N+1)-th and a (2N+1)-th salient pole and between the (2N+1)-th and the first salient pole, respectively, to forming a triangle before cutting within the salient poles arranged circularly. An end portion of each crossover is connected to a substrate.

An optical waveguide probe comprises a cantilever having a longitudinal axis, a fixed end and a free end, the free end being elastically displaceable by application of a force to the cantilever. A probe is disposed on the free end of the cantilever for undergoing displacement in a direction generally perpendicular to a surface of a sample during elastic displacement of the cantilever. The probe extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cantilever. An optical waveguide is disposed in the cantilever and extends from the fixed end of the cantilever to the probe for transmitting light applied to or detected from the surface of the sample. The optical waveguide has a first optical waveguide portion extending generally along the longitudinal axis of the cantilever and a second optical waveguide portion extending generally in the direction of extension of the probe.

A scanning near-field optic/atomic-force microscope comprises a holder for holding a sample immersed in a liquid, and a plate disposed over the holder for covering a surface of the liquid and for transmitting therethrough a laser light. A probe has an optical propagation body terminating in a distal end, and a light reflecting element disposed thereon, and the probe is immersed in the liquid. A light source emits a light which is introduced into the optical propagation body of the probe, which guides the light through the probe and out the distal end thereof to irradiate the sample. A detecting device detects information from the light irradiated on the sample and converts the information to an electric signal. A laser source irradiates the light reflecting element of the probe with a laser light for detecting a bending amount of the probe resulting from an interaction between the sample and the probe. An angle adjusting mechanism adjusts an optical axis of the laser light transmitted through the plate. A photoelectric conversion device receives the laser light reflected from the light reflecting element and converts the reflected light into an electric signal. A moving mechanism moves the sample relative to the probe, and a distance control device controls a distance between the surface of the sample and the distal end of the probe.

A quartz crystal resonator is utilized to effect evaluation of the viscoelastic characteristic of a film deposited on an electrode by an electrochemical reaction. The quartz crystal resonator is connected to a resonator characteristic measurement unit comprised of an oscillating circuit, a frequency counter, and an amplitude level meter. An electrochemical measurement unit in the form of a potentiostat is connected to a working electrode which comprises one of the electrodes of the resonator, to a reference electrode and to a counter electrode. The frequency counter, the amplitude level meter and the potentiostat are connected to a CPU. The resonator, reference electrode and counter electrode are all immersed in an electrolyte solution in an electrochemical cell. In another embodiment, the system utilizes a quartz crystal resonator precoated with a macromolecule sensitive film for analyzing diffusion and viscosity variation in the film due to migration of electrochemically active substances relative to the film during the course of the electrochemical reaction.

A viscosity measuring system comprises a cell containing gelable liquid and a piezoelectric resonator mounted in the cell. The piezoelectric resonator has a prescribed characteristic, such as electrical resistance or resonant frequency, which varies in accordance with the gelating of the liquid. Solid particles suspended in the liquid are deposited on the piezoelectric resonator during gelating of the liquid to amplify the prescribed resonator characteristic. A measuring circuit measures the variation of the resonator characteristic to thereby determine the gelation time of the liquid.

A bio-thermo sensor has an enzyme-modified membrane directly supported on an IC thermal detector in face-to-face contact. The enzyme-modified membrane selectively reacts with a specific chemical substance to generate therein a reaction heat which is converted into an amplified output voltage indicative of the chemical substance by the IC thermal detector. The IC thermal detector includes Darlington-connected transistors which provide high sensitivity and quick response time.

A chemical measuring instrument comprises a piezoelectric characteristic-measuring circuit having an output signal line connected to capacitors connected in parallel to the separate electrode portions of the first electrode of the quartz oscillator. An input signal line of the piezoelectric characteristic-measuring circuit is connected to the second electrode of the quartz oscillator. A voltage application circuit is connected to one of the separate electrode portions of the first electrode for applying a voltage between the separate electrode portions. An electrical current-measuring circuit is connected to the other of the separate electrode portions which is electrically grounded. The resonant characteristics of the quartz oscillator and the conductivity on the surfaces of the electrodes can be simultaneously and effectively measured.
