Method and apparatus for processing edge surfaces of optical fibers, and method and apparatus for fusion splicing optical fibers

An optical fiber edge surface processing method has the steps of capturing a transmitted-light image of end portions of two optical fibers placed facing each other, and extracting, based on a brightness distribution in the transmitted-light image, edge surface information of each of the two optical fibers to be spliced together; selecting a discharge condition corresponding to the edge surface information from among a plurality of discharge conditions prestored in a storage unit; and melting the splicing edge surfaces of the two optical fibers in accordance with the selected discharge condition, and thereby shaping the splicing edge surfaces. With this method, splice loss can be reduced in a simple manner, even when the edge surface angle of each optical fiber, or the relative edge surface angle between the two optical fibers, or the amount of chipping at the splicing cross section of each optical fiber, is large.

Fuel supply system for general purpose engine

A fuel supply system for a general purpose internal combustion engine is equipped with a sub-fuel tank that retains gasoline fuel supplied from a main fuel tank and houses the high-pressure pump in its interior. In other words, the pump is immersed in the gasoline fuel retained in the tank, so that if an air pocket should occur in the fuel supply pipe between the main fuel tank and pump, the air will be discharged from the sub-fuel tank to the exterior through a fuel return pipe etc., thereby ensuring that the pump does not suck in air. Since fuel injectors can therefore inject gasoline fuel immediately, starting performance is enhanced.

In order to ensure that traction control is not initiated when an engine stalling tendency exists, no engine stalling tendency is set as a condition for initiating traction control. Furthermore, in order to ensure that an accurate determination of the engine stalling tendency can be made after the initiation of traction control, an engine speed threshold value used to determine whether the engine stalling tendency exists is changed in accordance with a vehicle status.

Accordingly, it is possible to prevent frequent prohibition of traction control even when the possibility of engine stalling is low.

Ellipse-like curve recognition by calculation of distances of points on the curve from FOCI

After calculation of coordinates of points on a plane curve, a pattern recognition device calculates (S3) coordinates of foci and a major axis of a candidate ellipse and, (S4) until all points are used, (S5) a sum of distances between said point and the foci. After calculation of (S6) of the sum to the major axis, (S7) a variance of such ratios is calculated to judge (S8) whether or not the plane curve is a geometric ellipse. A mean value may be substituted for the variance. The variance may be calculated as regards sums calculated for all points. Preferably, the foci and the major axis are calculated by calculating (S1) an inscribed and subsequently (S2) a circumscribed rectangle. In this event, the candidate ellipse is inscribed in the circumscribed rectangle.

Production method for silicon wafer and silicon wafer

A silicon wafer is produced by growing a silicon single crystal ingot having a resistivity of 100 Ω·cm or more and an initial interstitial oxygen concentration of 10 to 25 ppma by the Czochralski method, processing the silicon single crystal ingot into a wafer, and subjecting the wafer to an oxygen precipitation heat treatment so that a residual interstitial oxygen concentration in the wafer should become 8 ppma or less. A silicon wafer produced as described above shows little decrease in resistivity even after a heat treatment in device production etc. Further, if a silicon wafer is produced and heat-treated so that the wafer should have the above-defined initial interstitial oxygen concentration and residual interstitial oxygen concentration, slip dislocations in a subsequent heat treatment process are prevented irrespective of resistivity. Furthermore, by forming an epitaxial layer on a surface of a silicon wafer of the present invention, a high resistivity epitaxial wafer can be produced, which is free from slip dislocations etc. and can be used for various devices.

(57)【要約】 【課題】 ４輪駆動車において、駆動輪のいずれかが空 転した場合にも正確に推定車体速度を求めることができ るようにする。 【解決手段】 空転状態ではない場合には、前回の推定 車体速度Ｖｓｏ（ｎ−１）に対して限界加速度αｄｏｗ ｎの所定時間ｔ分を加えた速度αｄｏｗｎ×ｔ＋Ｖｓｏ （ｎ−１）と、前回の推定車体速度に対して限界減速度 αｕｐの所定時間分ｔを減じた速度−αｕｐ×ｔ＋Ｖｓ ｏ（ｎ−１）と、４輪の車輪速度のうちの最大速度Ｖｗ ｍａｘとを比較したときに、中間に位置するものを今回 の推定車体速度（Ｖｓｏ（ｎ））とする。そして、空転 状態の場合、すなわち前回の推定車体速度が所定速度 （Ａ）よりも小さいときに、４輪のうちいずれかが前回 の推定車体速度を超えている場合には、速度−αｕｐ× ｔ＋Ｖｓｏ（ｎ−１）を今回の推定車体速度とする。こ れにより、推定車体速度Ｖｓｏ（ｎ）の持ち上がりを防 止する。

Use of oncogene nrf2 for cancer prognosis

The present invention relates to a new method for predicting cancer response to mTOR related cancer drugs and prognosis of cancer. To this end, the present invention relates to a new method for predicting cancer response to an inhibitor of mTOR, PI3K, PDK1, FKBP12 or Akt, and prognosis of cancer by measuring mutations in NRF2 protein/gene. Namely, the present invention relates to a method for predicting prognosis/response of a cancer patient to an inhibitor of mTOR, PI3K, PDK1, FKBP12 or Akt, comprising: (a) measuring DNA or RNA expression level coding for mutated NRF2 protein or expression level of mutated NRF2 protein in a sample originated from the patient; and (b) predicting the response/prognosis of the cancer patient based on the measured expression level. Also, the present invention includes kits for the above method.

Artificial dental root

There is provided an artificial dental root to be implanted into a jawbone comprising a sensor capable of contacting body fluids and a radio transmitter for transmitting electric signals representing the physical and/or chemical values of the body fluids obtained by the sensor to an external receiver. With such an artificial dental root, the blood, the lymph and the muscles of the carrier of the artificial dental root can be examined without pain on the side of the subject to continuously watch the health conditions of the subject regardless of the psychological well-being of the subject and the doctor watching the subject on a receiving set for the radio transmitter can intervene for the health of the subject, take measures to cure, if any, the disease of the subject and give directions for emergency treatment whenever necessary.
