Abstract:
There is provided a liquid droplet ejecting apparatus capable of being efficiently produced at low production costs. The liquid droplet ejecting apparatus 1 includes a substrate 2 which has a hole 4 extending in thickness directions to pass through the substrate 2, and a photoresist film 3 which is formed on one side 2a of the substrate 2 so as to close one end of the hole 4, the photoresist film 3 having a small hole 5 which faces the one end of the hole 4 to open the one end of the hole 4 to the atmosphere. Thus, the liquid droplet ejecting apparatus 1 is designed to eject a droplet of a liquid from the small hole 5 by applying a pressure of a pressure source 6 to the other end of the hole 4 after the liquid is injected into the hole 4.
Abstract:
There is provided a plastic plate and a plastic plate assembly, which can increase the amount of samples, such as gene fragments and specimens to be hybridized, to more precisely analyze genes. A plastic plate 2 is formed so as to be capable of housing a plurality of samples to be analyzed. A large number of wells (recessed portions) 3 for housing therein samples are formed in the surface 7 of the plastic plate 2 by transferring the shape of a metal pattern. Thus, a sufficient amount of samples can be housed in the wells 3, so that it is possible to efficiently and more precisely inspect, analyze and house therein various samples.
Abstract:
There is provided a sample inspection casing capable of easily and surely inspecting an object to be inspected. The sample inspection casing 1 includes: a sample mounting table 5 for mounting thereon an object 11 to be inspected; a prism cut portion 14 serving as an optical path changing portion for allowing the object 11 on the sample mounting table 5 to be irradiated with illuminating light; and an image magnifying lens 15 for transmitting light, which is reflected on the object 11 on the sample mounting table 5, to magnify an image of the object 11.
Abstract:
An optical multiplexing module, which is easier in adjustment of an optical axis, has an optical multiplexing element and a prism to change optical paths of input light. The module also has one or more input collimators at the input-side end thereof a single output collimator at the output-side end thereof. The optical axes of the collimators are adjustable by optical axis adjusting means. Further, according to the method of correcting the optical axes, after fabricating the collimators into the module, with an optical loss between optical parts monitored, an external force is applied in turn to a plurality of arbitrary locations around a joint portion of one optical part. This application allows a hit location showing a maximum reduction in optical loss to be found out. Radiating a laser beam onto an opposite-side location on the joint portion to the hit location leads to an easier correction of displacements of the optical axis with ease.
Abstract:
The data, as read out from a trunk database, and the read-out data, as processed, are stored in a public database. A setup unit and an operations support unit manage the stored data of the public database and the attribute data of the stored data by a dictionary. In accordance with a demand of a user, an inquiry unit processes and displays the data on the basis of the data stored in the public database and the attribute data.

Abstract:
In order to wind a coil on a bobbin, the bobbin is supported on a rotating unit. Wire, which is supplied to a nozzle, is first clamped by a clamp which is synchronously rotatable with the bobbin. The nozzle is then moved along two mutually perpendicular axes so as to, in combination with the rotational movement of the bobbin, permit a coil or coils to be wound on the bobbin. After the wire is wound onto the bobbin, the wire is clamped and cut by a clamping and cutting arrangement which is stationary with respect to the bobbin rotation.
