Patent EP-1211543-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HOMMA HIROYUKI
IPC: G02B17/08
Filed: 2000-09-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to an endoscope
optical system capable of obtaining favorable endoscopic
images at all times by overcoming the conventional
disadvantages that diagnosis is hindered by image quality
disturbance due to the increase in pixel density resulting
from the reduction in pixel pitch of solid-state image
pickup devices and also due to the conventional
arrangement of an objective front optical element in an
optical system having a short focal length or in an
optical system having a large F-number. In an image pickup
apparatus using a monochromatic high-density solid-state
image pickup device in which the average pixel pitch
(H+V)/2 of the pixel pitch H in the horizontal direction
and the pixel pitch V in the vertical direction with
respect to the monitor scanning line is not more than 4.65
µm, or using an interline type color high-density solid-state
image pickup device in which the average pixel pitch
(H+V)/2 is not more than 3.1 µm, the volume V 1  of an air
layer between a plane-parallel plate (F1) closest to the
object side in the image pickup optical system and a
plano-concave negative lens (L1) satisfies the following
condition:
 V 1 <4 mm 3

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for removing a hydrocarbon solvent
from a hydrocarbon solvent solution of a hydrogenated
block copolymer which is obtained by hydrogenating a
'block copolymer comprising a polymer block composed
mainly of vinyl aromatic monomer units and a polymer
block composed mainly of conjugated diene monomer units,
wherein the weight ratio of the vinyl aromatic monomer
units to the conjugated diene monomer units is from 5/95
to 95/5, wherein the hydrogenated block copolymer has a
degree of hydrogenation of 30 % or more with respect to
double bonds in the conjugated diene monomer units, and
wherein the method comprises: (1) mixing a hydrocarbon
solvent solution of the hydrogenated block copolymer
with heated water to obtain a dispersion of the solution
in the heated water, and (2) introducing the dispersion
into a steam stripping vessel containing heated water,
wherein the dispersion is spouted into the gaseous phase
in the vessel toward the surface of the heated water in
the vessel under conditions wherein the vapor pressure P 1 
of the dispersion and the pressure P 2  of the gaseous
phase in the vessel satisfy the formula: P 1  ≥ P 2  , thereby
effecting a steam stripping of the dispersion to remove
the solvent therefrom and obtain porous crumbs of
the hydrogenated block copolymer.

Abstract: An ellipsometric metrology apparatus for a sample contained in a chamber. A light source outside the chamber produces the illuminating beam. A polarizing device outside the chamber polarizes the illuminating beam. A window of selected dimensions and features is disposed in a plane substantially parallel to the sample surface and at least partly closes the chamber. A first directing device directs the polarized illuminating beam on to an area of the sample along a first optical path extending from the polarizing device to the area of the sample through the window. The first optical path forms a predetermined oblique angle of incidence relative to the sample surface. A polarization analyzing device is outside the chamber, a second directing device directs the reflected beam resulting from the illumination of the sample by the illuminating beam on to the analyzing device along a second optical path extending from the sample towards the analyzing device through the window. The reflected beam is symmetrical to the illuminating beam relative to a normal to the sample surface. A detecting device detects the output beam transmitted by the analyzing device in order to supply an output signal processing means processes the output signal in order to determine the changes in stage of polarization in phase and in amplitude caused by the reflection on the area of the sample.
