| 20080248222 | Metallic Glass Laminates, Production Methods and Applications Thereof - A metallic glass laminate of the present invention is characterized in that a metallic glass layer of amorphous phase is formed on the substrate surface, and there is no continuous pore (pinhole) through the metallic glass layer. The metallic glass laminate is preferably obtained by solidification and lamination of at least part of the metallic glass powder in the molten state or in the supercooled liquid state on the substrate surface. Because of the dense metallic glass layer of homogenous amorphous phase, the functionalities of metallic glass such as corrosion resistance and wear resistance can be satisfactorily provided. A thick and a large-area metallic glass layer can be formed. The metallic glass layer can also be formed into various shapes within the supercooled liquid temperature range. In addition, a metallic glass bulk can be obtained by removing the substrate. The metallic glass laminate and the metallic glass bulk are utilized for a fuel cell separator, a hydrogen separation membrane, a hydrogen sensor, a solder-corrosion resisting member, etc. | 10-09-2008 |

The unit for performing a normal refractive power measurement measures a normal refractive power of an examined eye based on received light data. The judgment unit judges reliability of the received light data or the refractive power measurement. The unit for performing a high-speed refractive power measurement measures a refractive power of the examined eye faster than the unit for performing a normal refractive power measurement in response to a judgment result of the judgment unit. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080309877 | Instrument for measuring a refractive power - An instrument for measuring a refractive power including an astigmatic axis with retinoscopy is provided, which includes a projector, a light receiving device, a detector, and a notification unit. The projector projects light into a pupil of an examined eye. The light receiving device receives light reflected from the examined eye. The detector detects a tilt angle of the light receiving device with respect to a measurement reference. The notification unit conveys information related to a result of detection performed by the detector. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090140202 | ANTIRUST AGENT - The present invention provides a corrosion inhibitor for preventing rusting of metallic members during long-term storage thereof while maintaining cleanness of surfaces of the metallic members, as well as a corrosion inhibiting method. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100176684 | DYNAMOELECTRIC MACHINE - An AC generator comprises a shaft, a rotor secured to the shaft, a stator with a stator core provided to surround the outer circumference of the rotor and having a plurality of slots formed to extend in the axial direction while spaced apart in the circumferential direction, and a front bracket and a rear bracket surrounding the stator core while clamping the circumferential edge portion of the stator core from the opposite sides in the axial direction using a plurality of clamping means. A pair of front stays formed in the front bracket are secured to a vehicle by means of bolts penetrating a pair of through holes formed, respectively, in the pair of front stays. The pair of through holes are formed at such positions as the perpendicular bisector of a line connecting the centers intersects the axis of the shaft, and one clamping means is provided on the shaft side perpendicular bisector. With such an arrangement, generation of magnetic noise can be prevented without increasing the weight of the bracket and thereby the overall weight. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100300151 | GLASS PREFORM MANUFACTURING METHOD - A glass preform manufacturing method includes: generating glass fine particles by hydrolyzing a source gas in an oxyhydrogen flame; depositing the generated glass fine particles to form a torous glass preform; immersing the porous glass preform in an additive solution including an additive solvent in which a compound containing a desired additive is dissolved to impregnate the additive solution into the porous glass preform; first replacing of replacing the additive solvent remaining in the porous glass preform with the replacement solvent by immersing the porous glass preform in which the additive solution remains in a replacement solvent in which a solubility of the additive is lower than that in the additive solvent and having miscibility with the additive solvent; drying the porous glass preform after the first replacing; and sintering the dried porous glass preform to transparently vitrify the dried porous glass preform. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110139300 | REFUELLING CONTAINER FOR FUELCELL, METHOD FOR REFUELLING, AND HOLDER FOR REFUELLING CONTAINER - In, for example, a direct methanol type fuelcell, fuel is allowed to be injected little by little when the fuel is injected and supplied from the outside to a fuel receiving part reduced in the amount of remaining fuel on the fuelcell body side and an electromotive part can be prevented from being damaged by keeping the pressure in the fuel receiving part at a fixed level or less when the fuel is injected. Specifically, when a fuel CL filled in a refuelling container C is injected into a fuel receiving part T in several lots, a fuel injecting operation is repeated in which the volume of the refuelling container C is shrunk and reduced to supply the fuel into the fuel receiving part T in a proper amount and then the original volume of the refuelling container is restored to thereby absorb the atmospheric gas in the fuel receiving part T, which makes it possible to inject fuel continuously without any hindrance to the injection of the fuel. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110187996 | EYE EXAMINATION APPARATUS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SPECTACLE LENS, SPECTACLE LENS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MULTIFOCAL EYEGLASSES, AND MULTIFOCAL EYEGLASSES - An eye examination apparatus includes an accommodation power acquisition unit, a corrected accommodation power calculation unit, a drive unit and an accommodative microfluctuation measurement unit. The accommodation power acquisition unit acquires an accommodation power which is determined from a difference between a near point and a distant point of an examined eye. The corrected accommodation power calculation unit calculates an integrated value of the accommodation power and a correction coefficient. The drive unit drives a vision target in a direction of an optical axis of the examined eye. The accommodative microfluctuation measurement unit controls the drive unit to cause the vision target to be arranged onto a corrected accommodation position corresponding to the integrated value, such that the accommodative microfluctuation measurement unit measures an eye accommodation function based on a frequency of appearance of a high frequency component representative of ciliary body accommodative microfluctuation. | 08-04-2011 |
