Abstract: In an optical pickup unit for converging a laser beam having a
predetermined polarization direction produced by a semiconductor laser (LD) on
a signal recording face of an optical disc (Disc) through an objective lens (OL),
a phase difference plate (PDP) is rotatably disposed before the objective lens
around an optical axis. A rotation adjusting mechanism mechanically rotates
the phase difference plate around the optical axis by any angle. It is therefore
possible to adjust an included angle between a direction of a major axis (K) of a
spot and a polarization direction (J) of the laser beam on the signal recording
face at any angle.

Abstract: In an active matrix type liquid crystal display, during a
non-display period such as the horizontal blanking interval or the
vertical blanking interval wherein no pixel TFT (10) is selected,
the voltage of the opposing electrode is changed so that the power
consumption is reduced with application of sufficient voltage to
the liquid crystal and without increasing the amplitude of the display
data. Also, a change alleviating voltage VM is applied during the
change in the opposing electrode voltage to data lines (22) for
supplying display data to each of pixel TFTs during the display
period, in order to prevent changes in the potential of the data
lines (22) caused by the change in the opposing electrode voltage
and large reverse bias from being loaded to switches Hsw for outputting
display data to the data lines (22).

Abstract: A balloon catheter and stent delivery system for medical treatment of a patient includes a balloon having a pattern of ridges in an initial deflated state. The ridges may cooperate with structural elements of a stent crimped onto the balloon, to increase and enhance longitudinal retention of the stent while the catheter system is advanced or withdrawn. Upon inflation, the balloon recovers to an inflated shape having a cylindrical working portion. The balloon catheter thus provides for uniform expansion of the stent when the balloon is inflated. The present invention also tends to protect the leading or distal end of the stent during advancement, and tends to protect the proximal end of the stent during any withdrawal of the catheter system.

Abstract: A steering control device (200) is provided with a end-of-movement reaction
force generation unit (an end reaction force control portion (20)). An end reaction
force generating current i 2  which act as return a handle toward a straight-ahead
position is rapidly generated in the vicinity of an upper and a lower limit of a vehicle
wheel steering range. For example, a reaction force motor (4) may be additionally
commanded using a newly generated command current i 2 . Accordingly, an output
torque of the reaction force motor (4) becomes proportional to a new command value
i n  of an Equation i n  = i 1  + i 2 , where i 1  is a current command of a reaction force control
portion (5). As a result of configuring the end-of-movement reaction force generation
unit is this manner, for example, it is possible to generate a virtual contact resistance
force (a steering reaction force) for a steering angle  without causing heat build-up,
or the like, of a motor, when no physical limit (an end-of-movement of contact point)
is provided for a rotation range of a steering wheel (handle).
