A fluid transfer device according to the present invention is intended to cause a fluid to travel along a channel (1). A vibrating plate (3a) for generating an acoustic wave and a reflector (2) for reflecting the acoustic wave face each other at opposite sides of the channel (1) with the channel held therebetween. The fluid is caused to travel by a sound pressure gradient formed in the channel (1) by the vibration of said vibrating plate (3a). A fuel cell according to the present invention includes a membrane electrode assembly (14) with an electrolytic membrane (14a), and an anode (14c) and a cathode (14b) arranged on opposite sides of the electrolytic membrane. The fluid transfer device according to the present invention is used to supply a fluid to the anode (14c) and/or cathode (14b) constituting the membrane electrode assembly (14).

A fuel cell includes a membrane electrode assembly 1 in which an oxidant electrode and a fuel electrode are disposed on the respective sides of an electrolyte layer. The fuel cell includes a vibrating plate 32 which generates an acoustic wave, and which is disposed so as to face the oxidant electrode with a flow path 30 for a gas formed between the vibrating plate and the oxidant electrode. The vibrating plate 32 is formed to have at least one hole 34. Moreover, the gas is transferred by acoustic streaming that occurs in the flow path for the gas 30 due to vibration of the vibrating plate 32 and reflection on a surface of the oxidant electrode facing the vibrating plate 32.

From texture image data divided by a data dividing unit (1), image data of characteristic portion is extracted by a characteristic portion extracting unit (2). After this, the image data of the characteristic portion is converted into a Gray scale by a Gray scale converting unit (3) and subjected to image processing by a characteristic portion processing unit (4). According to the luminance value of the image data of the characteristic portion which has been subjected to the image processing, a high-low converting unit (5) sets a coordinate position shifting amount. According to this shifting amount set, a data amount of the 3-dimensional shape data given from the data dividing unit (1) is converted by a 3-dimensional shape data converting unit (6). From the 3-dimensional shape data converted, shape data representing the 3-dimensional coordinate position is generated by a shape data extracting unit (7).
摘要:
A dust collecting apparatus is provided for conveying dusts with the use of a smaller force thus to minimize the size of a conveying means, the consumption of power, and the noise generated by the conveying means. The apparatus includes a dust receiving unit equipped with a rotary brush 3 and a dust collecting unit 5 for collecting the dusts received from the dust receiving unit. The dust collecting unit 5 includes a primary chamber 51 for storing the dusts splashed up by the rotating action of the rotary brush 3 and a secondary chamber 53 connecting via a connection passage with the primary chamber 51. The dusts are intermittently conveyed from the primary chamber 51 to the secondary chamber 53 by the action of an electric fan 9.
