Inventor: MOTOMURA KATSUMI
IPC: G03B15/05
Filed: 2001-09-24
Abstract: In a lens-fitted photo film unit, a flash device has a
booster circuit (50) including primary and secondary windings
(56a, 56b), the secondary winding (56b) generating high
voltage when power source voltage is applied to the primary
winding (56a). A main capacitor (47) is charged by the high
voltage in the secondary winding. A flash discharge tube
(52) is connected in parallel with the main capacitor, for
emitting flash light upon discharge with electric energy from
the main capacitor. A trigger circuit (51) discharges the
flash discharge tube upon a switching operation. A photo
transistor (48) measures reflected light from an object
illuminated by the flash light, to output a light amount
signal. A light amount control circuit (53) quenches
discharge of the flash discharge tube when an integration
value of the light amount signal comes up to a predetermined
value. A powering voltage generator circuit (70) is
connected with the secondary winding, for generating powering
voltage adapted for powering the light amount control circuit
in response to operation of the trigger circuit.

Abstract: Monolithically integrated pressure sensors of outstanding quality and versatility
are produced through micromechanical surface structures definition techniques. 
     A microphonic cavity in the semiconductor substrate is monolithically formed by
   cutting by plasma etching the front side or the back side of the silicon wafer a
plurality of trenches or holes deep enough to extend for at least part of its
thickness into a purposely made doped buried layer of opposite type of
conductivity of the substrate and of the epitaxial layer grown over it;   electrochemically etching through such trenches, the silicon of the buried layer
with an electrolytic solution suitable for selectively etching the doped silicon of
said opposite type of conductivity, making the silicon of the buried layer
porous; and   oxidizing and leaching away the silicon so made porous.    
     Preferably, the trenches or holes for accessing the doped buried layer are cut
through the epitaxial layer and not through the rear of the monocrystalline silicon
substrate thus avoiding the burden of precisely aligning the mask on the rear
surface with the masks that are used on the front surface of the substrate.
Moreover, the thickness of the substrate is normally much greater than that of the
epitaxial layer and thus the need to cut relatively deep and narrow trenches
requiring the use of special plasma etching equipment is avoided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method characterised in that it consists in: (a) determining in situ the tensile strength of the pole (1) at least probing said pole in a substantially horizontal diametrical plane, at least at a predetermined height (H) above the base of the pole; then recording a profile (A, B, C) of the wood density over its entire diameter from which mechanical strength can be roughly assessed by mathematical analysis,; (b) at least a probing at the base of the pole to assess the degree of rot and/or the weakening state of the wood at that level; (c) measuring the physical dimensions of the pole and controlling visually faults or degradation of the wood from which are evaluated corrective coefficients (Kn, Kd) of the approximate mechanical strength to reach a net limit tensile strength; (d) and inputting the whole set of values thus obtained into a computer system comprising an expert software adapted to establish, on the basis of reference values contained in storage, a diagnostic for immediate or deferred repair or for preserving the pole, in particular, based on the net limit tensile strength obtained, compared to an acceptability norm for the type of pole controlled. Said method provides operators with an efficient and objective tool to assist them in deciding on immediate or deferred repair, or on preserving controlled poles.

In the next step, the amplified genomic DNA is hybridized to at least one oligonucleotide, forming a duplex, and said oligonucleotide is elongated by at least one nucleotide, the nucleotide carrying a detectable label, and the elongation depending on the methylation status of the specific cytosine in the genomic DNA sample. In the next step, the elongated oligonucleotides are analyzed for the presence of the label.

Abstract: In the invention, a rear combination lamp 267 is set closer
to the storage box 207 by providing left and right pairs of
bulbs 545, 545 and bulbs 546, 546, forming left and right access
openings 511, 512 for performing maintenance of these bulbs
545, 545, 546, 546 on the lower box 207a, and closing the access
openings 511, 512 with lids 513, 514 respectively. 
     Therefore, since maintenance work of the bulbs can
easily be made from the inside of the storage box and the rear
combination lamp may be set closer to the storage box, the rear
portion of the vehicle may be formed compact in configuration
even when a large rear combination lamp is disposed rearward
of a large storage box. Therefore, the width or the entire
length of the rear portion of the vehicle body is not increased,
and thus the appearance and operationability of the vehicle
may be improved.
