The invention relates to a hand-held device for the dosed distribution of sprayable substances, especially medicaments to be inhaled, said device comprising a cartridge that can be displaced into the distribution-opening position by means of pressure in a housing, and a feeding mechanism moved by the opening course of the cartridge and used to register and display the distribution actuation carried out. Said feeding mechanism is arranged in the centre of a housing below the front wall of the cartridge, on the opening side, overlapping the cartridge valve tube. The aim of the invention is to provide one such hand-held device in a spatially favourable manner, with more reliability in terms of handling, and a simplified structure. To this end, a stepped feeding mechanism arranged in a plate-shaped housing is provided with control elements which rotate about the axis located in the longitudinal direction of the cartridge.

A ultra light presentation display case is a slim, lightweight portable case that can be easily carried to the site of a presentation. The case easily folds open to provide a multi surfaced, free standing exhibit display. The display case comprises three lightweight, rigid structural panels, each panel encapsulated by a rigid frame, the three panels hinged together, allowing the two outer panels to be folded towards the center panel, and a handle fixedly secured to the top of the center structural panel. Each of the panels is made from a rigid, lightweight polystyrene foam core. The front surface of the panels is covered with a Velcro® compatible loop material. The rear surface of the panels is covered with a thermoplastic polymer that is heated and formed to create a corrugated pattern providing both structural integrity and an embossed area wherein a logo or other advertising can be affixed.

A stereoscopic image display apparatus includes: an image display unit 22 for displaying image information corresponding to parallax in a first division and a second division; a divided wave plate filter unit 12 having a frame 41 and disposed adjacent to the first division and the second division of the image display unit, for rotating polarized light of the image information from the first division to a direction different from polarized light of the image information from the second division; and position adjusting means 35R and 35L for acting on the frame of the divided wave plate filter unit and thereby allowing adjustment of a relative position between the image display unit and the divided wave plate filter. Also, a display apparatus includes: a filter unit used in a state of being laid over an image display unit for displaying image information in a first division and a second division; and a filter frame portion disposed integrally around a periphery of the filter unit; wherein the filter unit has a first wave plate in a region corresponding to the first division of the image display unit for rotating polarization direction of the image information from the first division to a direction different from polarization direction of the image information from the second division; and the filter frame portion has an alignment mark formed therein by a second wave plate for rotating polarization direction.

Methods for determining need for treating a vehicle travel surface include sensing, at a first time, a characteristic of a vehicle travel surface from a mobile sensor. Sensed characteristics include temperature, friction coefficient, material volumetric buildup, e.g., composition, such as an amount or percentage of ice or snow, density, depth, freeze point and chemical concentrations. The sensed characteristic is recorded as a first measurement in a database, and GIS information correlating a location with the first measurement is attached. The characteristic of the vehicle travel surface is sensed at a second time, at the location, and recorded in the database, for example as a second measurement. GIS information correlating the location with the second measurement may be attached, and the first and second measurements compared.

A liquid crystal display device using a plastic substrate becomes required to have high resolution, high opening ratio, high reliability, or the like, with the increasing of a screen size. Besides, high productivity and cost reduction is also required. According to the present invention, a protective film 123 comprising at least one silicon nitride film, which is formed by a ratio frequency sputtering using a silicon target, is provided over an opposing substrate (a flexible substrate); sealant 112 is drawn; a liquid crystal material 114 is dropped over the opposing substrate in vacuo; and the opposing substrate is pasted to a flexible substrate 110 provided with a pixel electrode 111 and a columnar spacer 115.

A system and apparatus for detecting and evaluating surface conditions on a road surface and atmospheric conditions simultaneously from a vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a sensor for detecting the presence of deposited material on a road surface, a detector for determining one or more characteristics of the deposited material such as freezing temperature, process means for converting a detected signal and display means for displaying the condition of the road surface, and a sensor for detecting falling precipitation. An embodiment of the present invention includes a remote sensing apparatus which utilizes electromagnetic radiation to sense actual surface material conditions, temperatures, and composition and local atmospheric conditions at the vehicle as it is moving over a travel surface. This information is then processed through a computer in order to determine those additional steps necessary to apply additional materials to the road surface in order to minimize hazardous driving conditions.

A plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras respectively to create a plurality of upper viewpoint images. Display images are extracted from the upper viewpoint images, and the extracted display images are synthesized to create an overhead image or bird's eye view image of surroundings, which has an image corresponding to an operating machine at a center of the bird's eye view image. When extracting each of the display images, a region of the display image extracted from the upper viewpoint image is expanded beyond the size of a standard extraction region on the basis of the set height of a mating face. Each of the extracted display images is adjusted to the size of the standard extraction region, and synthesized. Thus, any three-dimensional object (obstacle) present near the boundary between display images constituting the bird's eye view image is displayed.

The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device in which an alignment direction of a liquid crystal molecule at the time of driving is regulated by using a polymer, and has an object to provide a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device in which excellent display characteristics can be obtained. A liquid crystal layer containing a polymerizable component capable of being polymerized by light is sealed between two substrates arranged to be opposite to each other, the polymerizable component is polymerized by irradiation of light under a predetermined light irradiation condition while a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer under a predetermined voltage application condition, and when a pre-tilt angle of a liquid crystal molecule and / or an alignment direction at a time of driving is regulated, at least one of the voltage application condition and the light irradiation condition is changed for each region.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a high reliable EL display device and a manufacturing method thereof by shielding intruding moisture or oxygen which is a factor of deteriorating the property of an EL element without enlarging the EL display device.In the invention, application is used as a method for forming a high thermostability planarizing film 16, typically, an interlayer insulating film (a film which serves as a base film of a light emitting element later) of a TFT in which a skeletal structure is configured by the combination of silicon (Si) and oxygen (O). After the formation, an edge portion or an opening portion is formed to have a tapered shape. Afterwards, distortion is given by adding an inert element with a comparatively large atomic radius to modify or highly densify a surface (including a side surface) for preventing the intrusion of moisture or oxygen.
