問１．下記の英文はある英語特許明細書の一部です。添付の図面を参照してこの英文を日本特許出願用に和訳してください。
The fluid dispensing system according to the present disclosure generally
includes a fluid dispensing assembly which in some non-limiting
embodiments may be a fluid dispensing cartridge 30 disposed in the handle
21 of the toothbrush and comprising a main reservoir 40 and an overflow
reservoir 60, a fluid applicator 31 disposed in the head 22 of the toothbrush,
and an axially extending capillary channel 33 extending axially through themain and overflow reservoirs. The capillary channel 33 comprises
wicking-type fluid transfer capillary member 32 which fluidly couples thereservoirs 40, 60 to the applicator 31 via capillary action. The applicator 31
may be disposed on the rear side 25 of the toothbrush head 22; however,other locations including the front side 24 or combination front/rear sides
may be used. Applicator 31 may be configured to form one or multiple fluid
outlets on the head 22 of the toothbrush 20. In one embodiment, the fluid
dispensing cartridge 30 may be primarily disposed in the toothbrush handle
21 within an internal cavity 28 formed therein. The handle 21 may beovermolded onto the cartridge in some embodiments, and in otherembodiments the cartridge may be inserted into the cavity after the molding
process.

問２．以下はある英語特許明細書の一部です。これを日本特許出願用に和訳してください
Delivery of drugs by the transdermal route has been known to betheoretically possible for many years.
Controlled release transdermal devices rely for their effect on delivery of aknown flux of drug to the skin for a prolonged period of time, generally a day,several days, or a week. Two mechanisms are used to regulate the drug flux:
either the drug is contained within a drug reservoir, which is separated fromthe skin of the wearer by a synthetic membrane, through which the drug
diffuses; or the drug is held dissolved or suspended in a polymer matrix, andthrough which the drug diffuses to the skin.
Devices incorporating a reservoir will deliver a steady drug flux across themembrane as long as excess undissolved drug remains in the reservoir;
matrix or monolithic devices are typically characterized by a falling drug flux
with time, as the matrix layers closer to the skin are depleted of drug.
The skin is an effective barrier against the majority of drugs. Unless thedelivery device is made unacceptably large, or the natural skin permeation
rate of the drug is somehow increased by the use of enhancers, then the drug
flux across the skin is inadequate for useful therapy.
Thus although in theory any drug might be delivered by this route, serious
investigation of candidate drugs has been limited to those few that exhibit
suitable properties, namely: small molecular size; short half-life; rapid
metabolization by the liber and difficulty in oral administration; high in vivo
skin permeability; and small effective therapeutic dose.

問３．下記はある米国特許出願のクレームです。これを日本出願用に和訳してください。”safe following distance warning system”は、「安全車間距離警告システム」と訳してください。
A safe following distance warning system for a vehicle, the system being
configured for warning a driver who is following a vehicle too closely, thesystem comprising: a forward-looking image capturing unit disposed at thefront of the vehicle for capturing images forward of the vehicle, theforward-looking image capturing unit including a taking lens, an image
sensor disposed behind the taking lens for converting an optical signal into
an electrical signal, an image processing unit for calculating an in-focus
position of the taking lens, and a lens driving unit for driving the taking lens;a speed sensor for sensing a current speed of the vehicle and outputting aspeed signal representing the current speed of the vehicle; a processor forcalculating a following distance from the vehicle to a vehicle directly forwardof the vehicle by using an image distance and a focal length of the taking lensreceived from the forward-looking image capturing unit, the image distancebeing equal to the distance from the taking lens to the image sensor when
the taking lens is at an in-focus position, the processor further able tocompare the following distance to a safe distance parameter; and a warning
output device for outputting an alarm to the driver of the vehicle when thefollowing distance is less than the safe distance parameter.
