A non-contact power transmission system comprises: a primary coil including a power supply coil and a magnetic resonance coil; and a secondary coil including a load coil, thereby transmitting an electric power from the power supply coil at a self-resonating frequency of the magnetic resonance coil, which is determined by a parasitic capacitance between wound wires of the coil and a self inductance of the coil, and taking out the electric power supplied, from the load coil of the secondary coil through magnetic coupling, with non-contact, wherein the electric power is transmitted, with non-contact, with applying magnetic coupling in coupling between the power supply coil and the magnetic resonance coil and coupling between the magnetic resonance coil and the load coil.

A method for monitoring oxygenation of blood includes the steps of transmitting light containing a plurality of wavelengths into blood and measuring a remitted spectrum over the plurality of-wavelengths. A measured blood absorption spectrum is then calculated from the remitted spectrum and local rates of change in the measured blood absorption spectrum are estimated at a plurality of the wavelengths, including at least one isobestic wavelength. An estimate of blood oxygen saturation (SO2) is calculated as a function of absolute values of the local rates of change of the measured blood absorption spectrum.

The optic portion of the lens includes an actuator that deflects a lens element to alter the optical power of the lens responsive to forces applied to the haptic portion of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles and a secondary deflection mechanism.

Disclosed is an input / output coupling structure for coupling a printed circuit board with a dielectric waveguide having a dielectric body and a conductive film covering the dielectric body. The coupling structure comprises a first conductive pattern formed on the bottom surface of the dielectric waveguide to serve as an input / output electrode, in such a manner as to be surrounded directly by an exposed portion of the dielectric body and further by the conductive film formed around the outer periphery of the exposed portion, a spacer having a surface made substantially entirely of a conductive material and a portion for defining a given space, and a second conductive pattern formed on a principal surface of the printed circuit board and electrically connected to the microstrip line. The bottom surface of the dielectric waveguide is joined to the principal surface of the printed circuit board through the spacer, to allow the first and second conductive patterns to be located in opposed relation to one another and define the space therebetween in cooperation with the spacer. The present invention can provide a simplified structure for mounting a dielectric waveguide on a printed circuit-wiring board to couple the dielectric waveguide with a microstrip line of the dielectric waveguide, and achieve a mode conversion mechanism operable in a wide frequency band and less subject to the influence of the possible displacement between the microstrip line and the dielectric waveguide.

Organosilicon compounds of the general formula I are produced by catalytically reacting silanes of the general formula II with alcohols of the general formula R'-OH, with the elimination of R<IV>OH, wherein the molar ratio of R-OH to R<IV>OH- groups is at least 1 and R<IV>OH is removed continuously or discontinuously from the reaction mixture. The organosilicon compounds may be used as coupling agents in filler-reinforced rubber mixtures.

A source-drain voltage of one of two transistors connected in series becomes quite small in a set operation (write signal), thus the set operation is performed to the other transistor. In an output operation, two transistors operate as a multi-gate transistor, therefore, a current value can be small in the output operation. In other words, a current can be large in the set operation. Therefore, the set operation can be performed rapidly without being easily influenced by an intersection capacitance and a wiring resistance which are parasitic on a wiring and the like. Further, an influence of variations between adjacent ones can be small as one same transistor is used in the set operation and the output operation.
