Inventor: KIMURA KAZUMI
IPC: G02B26/08
Filed: 1998-02-06
Abstract: A scanning optical system includes 
a light source, an optical deflector for deflecting a
laser beam emitted from the light source, a first
optical element for collimating the laser beam emitted
from the light source into a parallel beam, a second
optical element for focusing the parallel beam
collimated by the first optical element to the optical
deflector and making the parallel beam incident on
the optical deflector, a third optical element for
focusing the laser beam deflected by a deflection plane
of the optical deflector onto a target irradiation
surface. In a subscanning section of the scanning
optical system, the following conditions are satisfied.
An optical axis of the first optical element and an
optical axis of the second optical element are
parallelly decentered from each other. The second
optical element and the third optical element are
decentered from a central axis of the scanning optical
system. The optical axis of the second optical element
crosses the central axis of the scanning optical system
near the optical deflector. The optical axis of the
first optical element crosses the central axis of
the scanning optical system near the second optical
element. A central point of the third optical element
is positioned on an extended line of the optical axis
of the second optical element. The optical axis of the 
second optical element and a normal of the deflection
plane of the optical deflector are not parallel to each
other.

Abstract: Ein Hautpflegemittel weist als Bestandteil Harnstoff auf, der Einschlußverbindungen mit
Fettsäuren und/oder Fettsäureverbindungen bildet. 
Auf diese Weise wird in dem Hautpflegemittel Fett zur Verfügung gestellt, das gegen
Oxidation geschützt ist. 
     Überraschenderweise kann der Harnstoff auch mit mehrfach ungesättigten Fettsäuren,
deren Moleküle eine starke Krümmung aufweisen, Einschlußverbindungen bilden. Das gilt
jedenfalls dann, wenn keine größeren Anteile von Fettsäuren mit geradkettigen oder
ziemlich geradkettigen Molekülen vorhanden sind. Dementsprechend ist vorgeschlagen, für
die Hautpflege wirksame mehrfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren in den Harnstoff einzulagern.
Insbesondere kommen dafür omega 3-Fettsäuren in Betracht, die der Körper beim
Membranaufbau nutzt. Ferner haben die omega 3-Fettsäuren entzündungshemmende
Eigenschaften. Dementsprechend sind sie für medizinische Salben geeignet. 
     Dabei wird ein weiterer Fortschritt erzielt. Wie sich ferner gezeigt hat, verlieren aus Fischöl
gewonnene Fettsäuren in der Einschlußverbindung mit Harnstoff ihren sonst nicht zu verhindernden
Geruch. Das ist für die omega 3-Fettsäuren insofern besonders wesentlich, als diese
praktisch nur aus Fischöl gewonnen werden können.

Abstract: A device for guiding a bar at the outlet of a lathe
feeder, particularly of an automatic lathe comprising: a
tubular body (5), which is fixed to the outlet of the
feeder (3) coaxially to the rotation axis (A) of the bar;
and a plurality of circular annular elements (11), which

forms a passage for the bar which is delimited by portions
of the circular annular elements (11).

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of cleaning a
semiconductor wafer after lapping in the manufacture thereof
comprising the steps of slicing a monocrystalline ingot into
a semiconductor wafer, and chamfering, lapping, acid-etching,
and then mirror-polishing the thus-obtained semiconductor
wafer. The semiconductor wafer is cleaned in a strong-alkaline
aqueous solution at a point of time after the
lapping and before the acid-etching, such that the surface
of the semiconductor wafer is dissolved in an amount in the
range of 4 - 8 µm. The cleaning method prevents generation
of a protrusion on the outer circumferential end portion of
the wafer in the subsequent acid-etching step.

Abstract: A pyrolytic self-cleaning oven has a cavity 2 heated by a grill element 4 during a self-cleaning
pyrolytic operation, the fumes emitted passing through a porous plug bearing
an oxidation catalyst 11 to remove smoke before the gases are vented at outlet 9. The
cycling of the element 4 is controlled by an electronic controller 13 which receives a
signal from a temperature sensor 15 on the catalytic plug. Thus, when the oven
temperature initially rises and volatile substances are vaporised, resulting in an
exothermic reaction at the catalyst, the element 4 is switched off. Only when a
substantial amount of the volatile soil has been evaporated will the temperature at the
oxidation catalyst fall causing the control means 13 to switch the element 4 back on.
In this way, the self-cleaning operation is controlled by the temperature of the oxidation
catalyst, and the cleaning operation is terminated with reference to either a fixed
temperature in the oven having been reached or a fixed temperature differential
between the catalyst temperature and the oven temperature having been achieved.

Abstract: A metered dose inhaler (10) for use with a pressurized aerosol canister
(18) includes a housing (12) defining a conduit (16) with a mouthpiece (56), and an
actuator (26) with a nozzle discharge orifice (30) arranged to discharge aerosol into
the conduit. An air tube (34) is arranged within the conduit with a inlet (38) of the
air tube formed in the conduit wall (74) and an outlet (36) of the air tube in opposing
relationship with the nozzle orifice. Inhalation through the mouthpiece causes air to
be drawn into the inlet and flow out of the outlet of the air tube to form an air jet
which impinges on an oppositely moving aerosol plume from the orifice. Auxiliary
air inlets (46) in the closed end (24) of the conduit provide a boundary layer flow
along the inner wall (44) of the conduit. Vortex generators (54) on the inner wall of
the conduit add vorticity and turbulence to the boundary layer flow. Automatic
actuation of the canister responsive to the patient's inhalation is achieved by a canister
trigger (154) connected to a movable piston assembly (132) forming a wall of a
variable-volume chamber (162) in fluid communication with a venturi (184) in the air
tube. Air drawn through the venturi by the user's breath causes evacuation of air
from the chamber, thereby moving the piston assembly and trigger to cause actuation
of the canister.

IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 1999-07-12
Abstract: There is provided a portable information terminal having
a built-in radio communications device which minimizes a drop in
the voltage of a battery and diminishes the operation threshold
voltage of the portable information terminal, thereby lengthening
the operatable time of the terminal. In the portable information
terminal, when a radio communications section is in a transmission
state, a microprocessor of an interface and a microprocessor of
an information processing section are brought into a hold state,
thereby deactivating the interface and the information processing
section. As a result, the operating current required during
transmission can be minimized. When the radio communications
section is not in a transmission state, the information processing
section and the interface are activated. Even when the radio
communications section is in a voice communication state and when
information is not input to the information processing section
for a given period of time, the information processing section
and the interface are deactivated. A voltage drop due to internal
resistance of the battery is diminished by distributing or
reducing the electric current dissipated by operation, in
accordance with operating conditions. Consequently, the
portable information device can be operated even when the voltage
of the battery drops, thus lengthening the operatable time.
