PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical device reducing thickness of an optical system and maximizing efficiency of each device. SOLUTION: An optical module for light beam projection includes a light source 10, a main body 1 made of a transparent material having a main axis "z", and an annular-shape reflecting surface 6 arranged with the main body 1 at the center. A central surface 4 is designed to form a central part of light flux with a desired distribution of luminescence intensity making the main axis "z" as the center, an annular surface 5 generates a virtual image 10' of the annular-shape light source 10, and also, an angle θ 1 ' demarcated by a peripheral part of a light beam after refraction of the annular surface 5 is designed to be an angle θ 1 or less demarcated by a peripheral part of a light beam before refraction of the annular surface 5 and to be transmitted the peripheral part of the light beam. The reflection surface 6 reflects a peripheral part of light flux transmitted by the annular surface 5, and forms it on a desired distribution of luminescence intensity with the main axis "z" as the center.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for connecting a hollow body 6 to coaxial members 19 and 21 without reducing resistance to pressure in the radial direction while reducing the size by arranging milling parts 31 and 32 in the hollow body 6 instead of a bracket in a tubular rail 5 for a high pressure fluid. SOLUTION: This rail 5 is composed of the hollow body 6 having an outer diameter D and an inner diameter (d), and has tail end parts 17 and 18 on both ends. The milling parts 31 and 32 are arranged outside the respective tail end parts. Its outer diameter D' is formed so as to guarantee strength at least equal to strength in the radial direction of the hollow body 6 together with cylindrical parts 22 and 23 of the coaxial members 19 and 21. The cylindrical parts 22 and 23 have flat front faces 24 and 26 for the front connection with the hollow body 6. Another milling part is also arranged inside the tail end parts 17 and 18. Its inner diameter d' is formed larger than the inner diameter (d) of the hollow body 6 so as to form annular shoulder parts 27 and 28 by storing the cylindrical parts 22 and 23. Washers 29 and 30 made of a relatively soft material are installed between the annular shoulder parts 27 and 28 and the front faces 24 and 26. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for imparting a whirling motion on an air flow for supplying a turbo-charged internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: The device is designed to be interposed in a duct 20 for supplying air to the upstream side of a supercharger 5 for supercharging the engine. The device has an elbow-shaped portion of the duct 20 and a partializing means 23. The partializing means 23 can limit a section of a passage in an upstream branch 21 of the elbow-shaped portion to an area which constitutes a fraction of the total section of the duct 20 and is adjacent to a wall of the duct 20. Therefore, a downstream branch 22 of the elbow-shaped portion is reached by a tangential flow creating a helical air flow in the downstream branch 22. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

SOLUTION: A closed fluid circuit (3) of the power generator (1) has at least one inlet hole (3a;3'a), capable of flowing pressure gas to generate a mixture of the gas and liquid, and circulating a solution, having a conductive medium liquid in a prescribed direction in the circuit (3); an orifice (5) of a flow with the dimensions set so as to enhance the speed and condensation of the mixture; and at least one outlet hole (3b), releasing the gas mixed in the solution from the circuit (3) to be exhausted. Further, the closed fluid circuit has at least a pair of electrodes (12, 13) facing each other in a direction, almost at a right angle relating to a flow direction of the solution generated by magnetic field generating means (7;8, 9). As a result of these constitutions, a current (I) is obtained, depending on the flow speed (v) of the solution in the lengthwise part (6) of the fluid circuit (3), the intensity (B) of related magnetic field, and electric resistance (R1) between the electrodes (12, 13).
