The alumina particles in the ultraviolet reflection film preferably constitute at least 5 wt % and more preferably at least 10 wt % of the sum of silica particles and alumina particles. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090096376 | EXCIMER LAMPS - An excimer lamp, including a discharge vessel made of silica glass and having a discharge space; a pair of electrodes disposed on the discharge vessel, wherein the discharge space is filled with xenon gas; and an ultraviolet reflection film made from ultraviolet scattering particles, including silica particles and alumina particles, formed on a surface of the discharge vessel exposed to the discharge space. A thickness Y of the ultraviolet reflection film satisfies the expression Y>4X+5, given that a mean particle diameter of the ultraviolet scattering particles making up the ultraviolet reflection film is X (μm). | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090096377 | EXCIMER LAMP - An excimer lamp which can emit UV radiation with a high degree of efficiency and high degree of uniformity, has a UV-reflecting film that does not peel. The excimer lamp is fitted with a silica glass discharge vessel that encloses a discharge gas which forms excimer molecules by dielectric barrier discharge in an internal space enclosed by a top wall panel, a bottom wall panel, side wall panels and end panels and with an electrode on both the outer surface of the top wall panel and another electrode on the outer surface of the bottom wall panel. On the inner surface of the discharge vessel, a UV-reflecting film comprised of silica and alumina particles is formed, at least, on the inner surface area of the side wall panels with the silica particles composing at least 30 weight % of the UV-reflecting film. | 04-16-2009 |

| 20090031332 | DISK DEVICE - A lift frame supports a turntable unit, and moves between a lower-most position and a read/write position in conjunction with slide movement of a follower slider. The follower slider has a pressing member and a cam groove. Pressed to a bottom plate of a device chassis by a coil spring, the pressing member stabilizes the movement of the follower slider. The cam groove fits onto a lifting pin of the lift frame. At the read/write position, the cam bottom wall is constituted of a pin pushing portion. The pin pushing portion is pushed upward by the coil spring to press the lifting pin to a cam groove upper wall when the lift frame is in the read/write position. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090271808 | DISK DEVICE WITH INSERTION SLOT - An optical disk device has a casing, an insertion slot and a loading mechanism for loading a disk. A shutter is shiftable transversely to an elongate slot shape of the insertion slot, closes the insertion slot partially when in a closed position, and opens the insertion slot when in an open position. A coupling hole is disposed at an end of the shutter with respect to the elongate slot shape. A shift lever moves the coupling hole in a first direction along the elongate slot shape upon shifting of the loading mechanism for loading, and moves the coupling hole in a second direction upon shifting of the loading mechanism for unloading. A cam mechanism shifts the shutter to the closed position when the coupling hole is moved in the first direction, and shifts the shutter to the open position when the coupling hole is moved in the second direction. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100138846 | DISK DEVICE - A lifting frame has a lifting pin that fits into a lifting cam groove of a follower slider, and swings up and down about a rod near a disk slot. A holding member is swingably attached to front end of the lifting frame. This holding member supports a turntable unit for holding a disk. The holding member has a cam follower pin that fits into a swinging cam groove of a loading slider to raise and lower the holding member. When the lifting frame swings down from a read/write position to a lowered position, the holding member inclines from the lifting frame so as to place the turntable unit substantially parallel to a disk carrying direction. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20100026799 | SEPARATION FILTER SELECTION DEVICE AND TIRE INSPECTION DEVICE - A separation filter selection device provided with an image input unit, a memory unit, a setting unit, an evaluation unit and a separation filter selection unit is disclosed. The image input unit inputs a captured image capturing a tire surface including a characteristic portion thereof. The memory unit stores plural filters for performing image processing of the captured image, stores a training image in which the characteristic portion is separated from the captured image, and a weighted image in which a weighting is set to a predetermined region of the captured image. The setting unit combines two or more filters out of the plural filters and sets a separation filter. The evaluation unit derives an evaluation value of the separation filter on the basis of an image in which a differential between the processed image that has been processed by each of the filters of the separation filter, and the training image, and to which a weighting based on the weighted image is applied. The separation filter selection unit repeats the setting of the setting unit and the evaluation value computation of the evaluation unit until the evaluation value is within a specific range, and selects the separation filter corresponding to the evaluation value resulting from the repeated processing as a separation filter for separating the characteristic portion from the captured image. | 02-04-2010 |
