| 20080204661 | DEFORMABLE MIRROR DEVICE AND APPARATUS FOR OBSERVING RETINA OF EYE - It is made possible to improve the variations in the “generated force (load)—deflection characteristics”. A deformable mirror device includes: a substrate; a plurality of electrodes provided on the substrate; a spacer disposed on the substrate; a support member disposed above the spacer and having an opening passing through from a first face of the support member facing to the substrate to a second face of the support member facing opposite from the first face; a first insulation film provided around the opening on the first face of the support member; and a deformable electrode film disposed so as to be opposed to the electrodes at a spacing, formed so as to cover the opening, and supported by the support member with sandwiching the first insulation film. The electrode film includes a reflection portion on a face opposite to the electrodes. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080236171 | MAGNETIC REFRIGERATING DEVICE AND MAGNETIC REFRIGERATING METHOD - A magnetic refrigerating device includes: at least one set of double-structured Halbach type magnet including a ring-shaped inner Halbach type magnet and a ring-shaped outer Halbach type magnet which are coaxially arranged one another so that a magnetic field generated by the inner Halbach type magnet is superimposed with a magnetic field generated by the outer Halbach type magnet; a magnetic refrigerant or a magnetic refrigeration working chamber including the magnetic refrigerant therein disposed in a bore space of the inner Halbach type magnet; and a rotating mechanism to rotate the outer Halbach type magnet while the inner Halbach type magnet is stationed. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080239528 | DEFORMABLE MIRROR APPARATUS - It is made possible to provide a deformable mirror apparatus which is deformable to a complicated shape (high-order shape). A deformable mirror apparatus includes: a substrate; a plurality of electrodes provided on the substrate; a spacer fixed above the substrate, having a first opening passing through from a first face of the spacer facing to the substrate to a second face of the spacer facing opposite from the first face, surrounding the electrodes, and having a step on the second face; a drive part including a membrane part disposed so as to cover the step of the spacer and so as to be opposed to the electrodes, a casing part having an opening at a bottom face of which the membrane part is exposed and supporting the membrane part, and a reflection film provided on the membrane part; and a voltage generator configured to generate predetermined voltage patterns on the electrodes, respectively. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080239931 | RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH PROBE MEMORY - A recording and reproducing apparatus supports a recording medium swingably in at least two axis directions by a support section formed in a shape having elasticity. When an access can be made to a memory, the recording medium is constantly and reciprocatingly moved in a direction along data row. Thus, a positional relationship with a probe head is always grasped. When an access is made, a moving time associated with position identification is reduced, and precise and fast movement is achieved. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080253269 | POSITIONING SYSTEM MOUNTED ON PROBE MEMORY DEVICE AND POSITIONING METHOD THEREOF - A probe memory device carries out positioning with the use of a servo pattern provided in a servo area on a recording medium, and the recording medium and a probe head section are reciprocatingly moved (scan-moved) by vibration at a specific frequency in a one-axis direction. At this time, based on information from the servo area, relative position information between the recording medium and the probe head section is acquired, the relative position information is processed at a control section, and then, feedback control is carried out for carrying out position correction relative to an actuator. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090040462 | DEFORMABLE MIRROR DEVICE AND APPARATUS FOR OBSERVING RETINA OF EYE USING THE SAME - A deformable mirror device includes a substrate; a plurality of electrodes provided on the substrate; a spacer disposed on the substrate; a support member disposed above the spacer and having an opening passing through from a first face of the support member facing to the substrate to a second face of the support member opposite from the first face; a deformable electrode film formed below the first face of the support member so as to be opposed to the electrodes with a distance and so as to cover the opening; an insulation film provided between the deformable electrode film and the support member; and a reflection film provided on a face of the deformable electrode film opposite from the electrodes so as to overlap the opening. The electrodes are electrically insulated each other by a plurality of grooves radially extending from a region which includes a position corresponding to a center of the opening. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090051874 | DEFORMABLE MIRROR DEVICE AND APPARATUS FOR OBSERVING RETINA OF EYE USING THE SAME - A deformable mirror device includes a substrate; a plurality of electrodes provided on the substrate; a spacer disposed on the substrate; a support member disposed above the spacer and having an opening passing through from a first face of the support member facing to the substrate to a second face of the support member opposite from the first face; a deformable electrode film formed below the first face of the support member so as to be opposed to the electrodes with a distance and so as to cover the opening; an insulation film provided between the deformable electrode film and the support member; a reflection film provided on a face of the deformable electrode film opposite from the electrodes so as to overlap the opening; and a plurality of through holes passing through the reflection film and the deformable electrode film and disposed so as to overlap the opening. | 02-26-2009 |
