Abstract:
A shield cover is provided with urging components that urge a light guide in the direction in which the light guide is inserted into a receptacle body to prevent the light guide from making contact with a light emitting element and a light receiving element when a receptacle body mates with a shield cover. Even if the light guide does not completely mate with the receptacle body, the urging components make contact with the light guide before the light guide makes contact with the light emitting element and the light receiving element so that an urging force by the urging components make the light guide completely mate with the receptacle body.
Abstract:
An optical transmission hinge apparatus includes a first hinge portion for pivotally interconnecting a first casing and a second casing about a first axis, a first optical device provided in the first casing, a second optical device provided in the second casing and an optical guide path member for interconnecting the first optical device and the second optical device to enable optical transmission therebetween. The optical guide path member includes a bent portion, a first portion formed on one side of the bent portion and a second portion formed on the other side of the bent portion. The first portion is provided in the first casing to be coaxial with the first hinge portion, with a terminal end of the first portion being in opposition to the first optical device. The second portion is provided in the second casing, with a terminal end of the second portion being in opposition to the second optical device.
Abstract:
An optical coupling component for use in an optical communication connector is provided which comprises a pair of columnar sending side and receiving side optical functional sections and a joint section integrally molded with the optical functional sections and made from the same material as the material of the optically functional sections and having joint regions adjoining the side walls of the optical functional sections, the joint regions of the joint section having a circumferential length along the side walls of the optically functional sections which is equal to or less than a half circumference of the optically functional sections.
Abstract:
In a triangular-sectioned prism 11 having a first plane 11a opposite an end face of an optical fiber 12, a second plane 11b opposite a light receiving element 13 and a third plane 11c which reflects received light 21 incident thereon from the optical fiber 12 toward the second plane 11b and transmits transmission light 22 emitted from a light emitting element toward the first plane 11a, a cylindrical member 32 of a refractive index larger than that of the prism 11 is embedded in that area of the prism 11 which is opposite the end face of the optical fiber 12. The cylindrical member 32 effectively suppresses the leakage therefrom of light, providing increased optical coupling efficiency as compared with that achievable by use of a mere prism structure.
Abstract:
Novel carbapenem compounds, (1R,5S,6S)-2-�1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidin-3-yl!thio-6-�(R)-1-hydroxyethyl!-1-methyl-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxyic acid derivatives. These carbapenem compounds are represented by the following formula having a beta-coordinated methyl group introduced at the 1-position and a �1-(1,3-thiazolin-2-yl)azetidin-3-yl!thio group introduced at the 2-position. ##STR1## In the formula, R is hydrogen; lower alkyl group which is unsubstituted or substituted by hydroxy, lower alkoxy or lower alkoxy-lower alkoxy group; group --COOR.sup.1 (R.sup.1 is hydrogen or lower alkyl group); or group --CONR.sup.2 R.sup.3 (R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are, independently each other, hydrogen or lower alkyl), and Y is carboxy, --COO.sup..crclbar. or protected carboxy. These compounds are useful antibiotics for prevention and treatment of bacterial infections.
Abstract:
A stabilized polysilazane obtained by reacting an inorganic polysilazane having a number average molecular weight of about 100 to about 100,000 with an alcohol, an organic acid, an ester, a ketone, an aldehyde, a mercaptan, or an alkysilazane preferably at a molar ratio of from 50/50 to 99.99/0.01 is described.
Abstract:
The present invention may include a production process for a preparation containing univesicular liposomes that encapsulate a highly water-soluble drug (d) having a water solubility of higher than 10 mg/mL and have a volume-average particle diameter of 50 to 200 nm utilizing a two-step emulsification method, to enhance an encapsulation ratio of the highly water-soluble drug in the liposomes produced, as compared with the conventional one. In a primary emulsification step of the two-step emulsification method, a W1/O emulsion may be prepared by the use of an aqueous phase liquid (W1) in which the highly water-soluble drug (d) and a solubilizing aid (s) having log D of not more than −1 at pH 7.4 are dissolved in an aqueous solvent (w1).
