問１．下記の英文はある米国特許明細書の記載からその一部を抜粋したものです。アンダーラインを付した部分（翻訳対象箇所）を日本語に翻訳してください。訳文作成に当たっては、訳文の冒頭に、英文中に挿入された「翻訳対象箇所番号」(1,2,3,4)を記載してください。
[0018] While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of
the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will
be better understood from a consideration of the description in conjunction
with the drawings. （翻訳対象箇所番号１）As required, detailed embodimentsof the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understoodthat the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention which
can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural andfunctional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but
merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching
one skilled in the art to variously employ the inventive arrangements in
virtually any appropriately detailed structure.（翻訳対象箇所番号 2）Further,
the terms and phrases used herein are not intended to be limiting but rather
to provide an understandable description of the invention.
[0019] （翻訳対象箇所番号３）As described herein, the term "removablysecured" and derivatives thereof shall be used to describe a situation
wherein two or more objects are joined together in a non-permanent mannerso as to allow the same objects to be repeatedly joined and separated. Thiscan be accomplished through the use of different shaped items that fit
together and are held in place by gravity, and/or through the use of any
number of commercially available connectors such as opposing strips of hookand loop material (i.e. Velcro.RTM.), magnetic elements, and compression
fittings such as hooks, snaps and buttons, for example. （翻訳対象箇所番号 4）
Moreover, the term "permanently secured" shall be used to describe asituation wherein two or more objects are joined together in a manner so as
to prevent the same objects from being separated. Several nonlimiting
examples include various adhesives such as glue or resin, hardware such as
nuts and bolts, and welds, for example.
[0020] Identical reference numerals are used for like elements of theinvention or elements of like function. For the sake of clarity, only thosereference numerals are shown in the individual figures which are necessary
for the description of the respective figure. For purposes of this description,
the terms "upper," "bottom," "right," "left," "front," "vertical," "horizontal,"and derivatives thereof shall relate to the invention as oriented in FIG. 1.

問２．下記の英文はある米国特許明細書の記載からその一部を抜粋したものです。英語見出し語や段落番号も含め全文を日本語に翻訳してください。
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003] In minimally invasive surgical procedures, surgical operations areperformed using elongated instruments introduced through one or more
small incisions. To allow a surgeon to visualize the operating field, anelongated lens and lighting system, such as a laparoscope or an endoscope, isinserted into the operating field through a separate small incision. The
optical instrument's lens is typically coupled to a camera head that relays
the scope's image to a television monitor. Since the monitor provides thesurgeon's only view of the operating field, a clear, well-defined image isessential.

[0004] A common problem in minimally invasive surgical procedures isfogging of the lens on the laparoscope or endoscope. When a lens is inserted
into a body cavity, e.g., an insufflated abdomen, the lens is at room
temperature. The body cavity, however, is saturated with water vapor
escaping from internal tissue and organs. Since the water vapor is typicallyat or near body temperature, microdroplets of water condense on the colder
scope lens, obscuring the surgeon's view of the operating field. When the lensfogs, the surgeon must remove the instrument, clean the lens, and thenreinsert the instrument into the operating field, where fogging begins again.
