At ResourceSpace we have a deep understanding of the Digital Asset Management requirements within the Museum and Heritage sector. We have close partnerships with clients such as The Walter Art Museum, who have benefited from extensive time savings.
We know that in a museum or gallery environment, you're processing, maintaining and cataloguing thousands of items for conservation and public consumption. But just because many of your artefacts may be ancient, doesn't mean your systems have to be.
If you're used to utilising The Museum System (TMS) or EMu throughout your working day, you can now combine the systems you already rely on with ResourceSpace, for unified transfers and syncing.
And with our extensive API and skilled technical team, we're able to integrate with other systems across your organisation, so your digital assets can be accessed from where they are most needed.
We will be on stand M3, and look forward to learning more about your DAM project requirements.

Home Administration and Leadership Former Santa Fe Paramedics Caught Trying to Steal Narcotics from Ambulance
Former Santa Fe Paramedics Caught Trying to Steal Narcotics from Ambulance
Two women who are former paramedics were arrested for placing a false 911 call for medical help and then breaking into an ambulance to steal drugs in Santa Fe last night.
Amanda Kay Grigg, 37, and Heather Elizabeth Bemrose, 39, both of Santa Fe, are accused in the case, according to the Santa Fe Police Department. Both are in the Santa Fe city jail.
Grigg is charged with burglary of a motor vehicle, possession of dangerous drugs and false alarm or report. She is being held on a total bond of $8,000.
Bemrose is charged with burglary of motor vehicle and false alarm or report with a total bond of $6,500.
It appears that the pair were trying to steal narcotics from the ambulance, police said.
Investigators said that about 7:20 p.m. Santa Fe police and EMS were dispatched on a call of a man down behind a business in the 4200 block of FM 1764.
But paramedics could not find the victim and later determined that the call was bogus.
When they returned to their station they caught Grigg and Bemrose breaking into an ambulance, police said.
Both are former Santa Fe paramedics, officials said.

It works with a console i.e when console=True. But when i try to make it windowed the pyinstaller complains about missing "pre-compiled bootloader". I've checked my bootloader map and i have both the windows 64 and 32 bootloaders there.
Any suggestions?

Pressley Op-Ed: Waging peace, healing our nation
WASHINGTON – In an op-ed published today in The Bay State Banner, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) reaffirmed the need for community-based violence-prevention and trauma-support programs to heal the nation from the incessant gun violence tragedies, especially for communities like the Massachusetts 7th which is disproportionately impacted by violence.
In the piece, Congresswoman Pressley calls for survivor-led, victim-centered and offender-sensitive resources to treat the trauma that is inflicted on communities as a result of gun violence and address the underlying structures that perpetuate gun tragedies. The Congresswoman also condemns President Trump for his role in encouraging terrorism:
"The occupant of the White House is a dangerous, racist, hateful demagogue who intentionally dehumanizes black and brown communities and encourages terrorism," said Congresswoman Pressley. "From xenophobia, islamophobia and anti-Semitism — the Trump Administration eagerly demonizes activists, religious groups and groups with differing political ideologies. Our society has become all too ready to shame, slander and surveil Latinx and Muslims all the while ignoring white supremacist terrorism."
Congresswoman Pressley is a long-time champion for gun violence prevention. She currently serves as a member of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force and she helped pass H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, and H.R. 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act – two long-overdue, bipartisan gun violence prevention bills. In June, she introduced a resolution to honor survivors of homicide victims by establishing National Survivors of Homicide Victims Awareness Month – a first step towards promoting awareness on the intergenerational, traumatic, and lasting impacts of gun violence on families and communities. In July, Congresswoman Pressley, alongside Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA) and Congressman Joe Kennedy III (D-MA-04), introduced the Making America Safe and Secure (MASS) Act – legislation that would incentivize states to adopt gun-licensing standards similar to those in Massachusetts, and make it harder for young people, people with mental health illness, and those with a criminal history to purchase or sell a gun. While serving as a Councilwoman on the Boston City Council, she hosted listening sessions on violence and trauma, giving survivors the space to be heard by government officials and the community.

As in Virginia, to state a claim for tortious interference with contract in Maryland, a plaintiff must allege (1) the existence of a contract between plaintiff and a third party; (2) defendant's knowledge of that contract; (3) defendant's intentional interference with that contract; (4) breach of that contract by the third party; and (5) resulting damages to the plaintiff. What was missing from Discovery's allegations was Element #3: intentional interference.
Specifically, Discovery failed to allege that CSC intentionally interfered with the contract after being put on notice of its existence and before the time Colan allegedly breached it. The act of employing Colan was insufficient to constitute tortious interference because it occurred after Colan's resignation. This lapse was held to be fatal to Discovery's claim.
The lesson to be learned from this is that a cause of action for tortious interference requires more than just a breach of contract or knowledge of somebody else's breach of contract. The essence of the tort is successful interference, not just the breach. The latter is merely evidence of the former.

Allegheny County Solar Co-op first in Pennsylvania to offer bifacial panels
By Nick Seymour on September 3, 2019
The Allegheny County Solar Co-op has selected EIS Solar to install solar panels for the 27-participant group. Co-op participants selected EIS Solar through a competitive bidding process over other firms.
"We are honored to be selected as the installer for this co-op," said Ian Smith of EIS Solar. "We work throughout the region, but Allegheny County is our home and we are proud to see more solar going up right here."
Co-op participants selected EIS Solar because of their diverse offering of quality modules and competitive pricing. For the first time in a Pennsylvania solar co-op, members will have the option to install "bifacial" solar panels, an emerging technology that more installers around the country are beginning to offer.
"There's strength in numbers," said Cindy Haigh, a selection committee and co-op member. "We can get a better deal by joining together."
Unlike traditional solar panels, which can only collect light on one side, bifacial panels can produce energy from light hitting the top and bottom of the panel. If installed above light-colored roof surfaces, the sunlight reflecting off of the roof can provide extra energy. And since these panels are protected by two sheets of glass – unlike regular panels, they are more rigid and will degrade more slowly.
Solar United Neighbors expands access to solar by educating Allegheny County residents about the benefits of distributed solar energy, helping them organize group solar installations, and strengthening Pennsylvania solar policies and its community of solar supporters.
"I learned a lot about going solar by going with a solar co-op that I wouldn't have known had I done this on my own," said Steve Williams, a selection committee and co-op member.
The co-op is open to new participants until Monday, October 21st. Allegheny County residents interested in joining the co-op can sign up at the co-op web page.
The solar co-op is free to join and joining the co-op is not a commitment to purchase panels. EIS Solar will provide each co-op participant with an individualized proposal based on the group rate. By going solar as a group and choosing a single installer, participants can save on the cost of going solar and have the support of fellow group participants and solar experts at Solar United Neighbors.
Solar United Neighbors supports solar co-ops across the country. These co-ops are a part of the organization's mission to create a new energy system with rooftop solar as the cornerstone. Solar United Neighbors holds events and education programs to help people become informed solar consumers, maximize the value of their solar investment and advocate for fair solar policies.

"Chinese Lantern," oil on canvas, by Oda Krohg, 1889.
The car in front of Teddy and Sara's black Subaru banked the curve a little too forcefully leaving a spray of dirt and dried leaves in Teddy's sightline. The driver then overcorrected. Teddy saw her head jerk up, realizing, perhaps, that the serpentine road was beyond her sobriety level. The brake lights glared as the car slowed to a pace that Teddy matched easily.
He doubted that the driver was aware of being followed, doubted that she'd remembered to flip the door lock button when she got in the car. He was certain, of course, that her phone was within reach, and had even seen her look down once or twice, her foot slowing on the gas pedal as she absorbed whatever news was offered.
Sara sat next to Teddy. Her eyes never left the Honda, though Teddy knew Sara's thoughts were elsewhere. Sara had selected the young girl, and Teddy and Sara had trailed her from the noisy waterfront club, watching her stumble over a loose chunk of concrete in the parking lot, right herself on the arm of a similarly clothed friend, laugh in that embarrassed way, and kiss, loudly, the cheek of her friend, before, eyes focused on her phone, she found her way to the Honda.
Teddy checked his watch. Nearly one. However this evening turned out, he would be exhausted for work tomorrow.
The Honda stayed off the highway, took the smaller two-lane roads that flowed into weed-lined lots of desiccated summer grass and nearly abandoned strip malls. Teddy imagined the driver had sobered up by now. Either that or was just buzzed enough to know that she needed to drive under the speed limit and within the roadway proper. Maybe she realized that the lights in her rear-view mirror had been there too long, matching her turn by turn, pacing her speed exactly. Maybe her heartbeats had sped up as she continually checked, a flash in the mirror, one on the road in front, a flash in the mirror. Teddy's own heart was thudding loudly. Would he and Sara go home after this one? Or would there be another? Sometimes, Sara wouldn't let him go home until morning.
Eventually, the Honda neared a neighborhood that Teddy had been to before. A friend of the driver's, perhaps. A previous outing. Irregular houses, most needing a paint job and more frequent mowing. Just then, the Honda sped up, barely slowing for stop signs, a quick look each way at a red light and Teddy knew he'd been made. He glanced at Sara, whose eyes displayed little fatigue at the late hour. Instead she sat upright, one hand on the dashboard, one on her seat belt, as if any moment she was prepared to unlatch it and dash from the car. He slowed as the Honda approached a dead end street. The Honda skidded up a driveway and the driver, now stunningly alert, bolted from the car into a small twin house with a tricycle and a small round trampoline on the front lawn.
They backtracked the streets, Teddy's sense of direction confident. Sara turned the air conditioner a bit higher as the effort expended always caused them to sweat. The uncertainty of how far they'd be led. The possibility of the driver stopping abruptly and confronting them. Or calling a relative to intercept them. Or the police. The sense that violence was just beyond their actions.
The highway was nearly bare. A few trucks careened past. The occasional car.
"What if we got a light?" Sara's cheek glowed crimson in the radium of the instrumental panel.
"Nothing is enough, Teddy. Nothing will ever be enough, you know that." Her voice broke.
"We're almost there," he said encouragingly.
"I do, too. Rest stop ahead," Teddy announced like a bus driver. Sara smiled. They would park in one of the lined spaces a short distance from the entrance and watch the comings and goings of the tired visitors. Occasionally one of them, usually Sara, would circle the inside of the building, searching for someone she did not know. A man, she was certain. But maybe that was just statistics. It could've just as easily been a woman. A strong woman. A woman with a weapon. Would they ever know?
Sara's hand grazed Teddy's arm, intentionally, as if to reassure him that she would be all right. She entered the rest stop, her attention deliberate on each person hunched over a coffee or impatiently waiting for a greasy bag to be handed over a counter. She concentrated on their gaze, whether they stared too long at isolated travelers. And then at the single girls, oblivious to their surroundings and the ill intentioned. It was the girls that Sara was really there for.
She purchased two coffees and a sleeve of fries and returned to the car.
"Okay, let's do a few loops," she said. Teddy nodded and pulled back onto the roadway. As they approached Mile Marker 127, Sara twisted in her seat, watched it roll past in slow motion, her heart in her throat.
"He's the one doing wrong." Sara sat back in her seat, focused on the dance of moths in the headlight beam.
Teddy knew he would appease her. There was so little he could do for her any more.
They exited directly and returned to the highway going in the opposite direction. The rest stop serviced north as well as southbound drivers and so Teddy entered the parking lot from the opposite side this time. It didn't matter, he would find himself driving south again, passing Mile Marker 127, holding his breath as he did each time, remembering Zoe's last phone call.
They slowed as they approached 127, then veered into the safety lane just before it, stopped, flashers off. Teddy reached for Sara's hand and entwined her fingers with his. It was necessary, sometimes, to just be here, in this spot.
The officer's chest stepped into Teddy's vision. Teddy lowered the window, kept both hands on the steering wheel, but noted the silver badge, judged its authenticity. Was he wearing the correct uniform? Teddy tried to remember the swirl of state troopers in the interview room and what they were wearing.
"Sir." A face lowered into the square of the window.
"Why not here?" shouted Sara, her coffee breath crossing the car.
"Someone needs to." Sara had tucked her legs under her as if she were getting ready to spring. Teddy's arm blocked her.
"Easy, Sar," said Teddy, and his arm planed her back into her seat.
"Step out of the car, sir." The officer stepped back, his hand on his revolver.
"Teddy, No! Don't. This is how it happened. Don't get out!" Sara leaned on the car horn, blasting its warning in long frantic strokes.
"Please. That's not necessary. My wife's…" Teddy began to open the car door, complying as Zoe had. As they had always told her to do. Listen to the police. They're there to help.
Sara, hysterical, still shouting. "Where were you when Zoe was stolen?" Tears dripped from her chin.
Teddy nodded, replaced his documents in his wallet.
Sara face was wet. She slouched against the car seat, all jellied muscles, no bones apparent. "I can't go home yet, Teddy," she whispered as they drove back on the road.

While I love bullet journaling and obsessively contributing to the bujo community, I realize that bullet journals are not for everyone. When I first started, I didn't know where to begin and what all the lingo meant. It took some time to get comfortable with the terminology so today, I thought it would be a fun idea to write a glossary of bullet journal related terms for those in the same boat as where I started - just so you guys can get a better sense of things bullet journal related. I think this will be an ongoing post though - I'll make sure it's updated when I find new terms.
A5: Refers to the size of a notebook. A5 notebooks are 16.5 x 23.4 inches. This is by far the most common size of notebook to bullet journal in.
Archival ink: A type of ink found in some pens that are durable and permanent. Most pens with archival ink are waterproof and suitable for long-term contact with important objects, safe and stable to museum or library standards.
Bleeding: When the pen or marker markings have bled through to the back page and subsequent pages following.
Bujo: Shorthand for "BUllet JOurnal."
Dutch door: A spread in your bullet journal, where part of the page remains stationary and the other part is normal and you can turn the pages as usual. Usually done by cutting a part of the bullet journal out.
Fineliner: Pens with a fine fiber or plastic tip that are typically used for graphic, drawing or sketching purposes, but can also be used for handwriting.
Gel: Refers to a type of ink in which pigment is suspended in a water-based gel. A very popular ink for writing in bullet journals.
Ghosting: Similar to bleeding (see above) but no bleed through, just a "ghost" of the writing on the reverse page.
GSM: Or, "grams per square meter." refers to the standard measure of paperweight. The higher the weight, the higher quality paper it is. Moleskine pages are typically 70GSM, Leuchtturms are 80GSM, and Rhodia are 90GSM.
Rollerball: Pens that use ball points with water-based liquid or gel ink, as opposed to the oil-based viscous inks found in ballpoint pens.
Spread: A layout on two pages that lay flat next to each other.
Threading: According to Ryder Carroll (the inventer of bullet journal planning), it is a special kind of hack for bullet journaling. "Say you have a collection that lives on pages 2-6 then reappears on page 14-21, and then again on pages 45-62. To "thread" this collection, simply add the page number of the previous or next instance of that collection next to the current page number. That way, when you're working on this collection, you don't have to refer to Index anymore."
Water-based: A kind of ink which uses water as a solvent base to carry the pigment. Many brush tip markers that are popular in the Bujo community have water-based ink. Very handy for creating designs that look like watercolor.

Excerpt from the introductory text from Alexander Kiossev:
The Resident Fellows Program of the Visual Seminar offers an opportunity for visual artists, designers, photographers, theoreticians and critics of art to develop a particular project for a period of 6 months. The program provides a stipend and a variety of needed technical equipment.
In this way the program attempts to synthesize two different tasks. The first task is related to the tradition of the centers for advanced studies in Europe and the world to invite for a given academic year several established writers, artists or musicians (sometimes these are theater people, journalists, etc.) jointly with their own research fellows. These receive short-term, usually three-month, fellowships, attend the academic research seminars but within this kind of program they are not expected to work on a specific project. Their presence in the academic community however, normally turns out to be extremely beneficial for these people have highly original ways of thinking and come up with startling ideas, that could have a heuristic effect on the scientific debate. Thus, the research team becomes an intellectual community while the artists themselves, outside of benefiting from the discussions, are in touch with the really innovative ideas in the life of science.
The second task is related to the conviction of the members of the Visual Seminar that the contemporary artists are also in a position to develop socially relevant projects (as is the Visual Seminar itself) as well as that an artwork or an artistic project could be incorporated within a collective conceptual framework. Thus, the Resident Fellows Program is the focus of the attempt to build up an intellectual community between artists and academic researchers with the ambition that both while working together mutually enrich their projects. This is reflected in the selection principle. The Resident Fellows module of the Visual Seminar must select 8 fellows in two years (two each six months) and at least 25% of these should be academic researchers of the contemporary visual culture. The remaining 75% are representatives of all creative professions that have affinity to the social and visual problems of the city of Sofia, to the contemporary visual arts, to architecture and urban studies, to design, photography and other of the arts that deal with visual themes, etc.
An 8-member committee selected the first two Resident Fellows of the Visual Seminar in April 2003. These are the artist Luchezar Boyadjiev and the young researcher Milla Mineva who works in the field of visual sociology and cultural studies (with the projects Hot City Visual and The Balkans as Touristic Sights). Their participation in the research meetings of the NEXUS project (the largest project of the Center for Advanced Study Sofia that supported 28 post-doctoral fellows in 3 years), as well as the participation of the NEXUS members during the presentations of the Boyadjiev and Mineva projects demonstrated that the scheme of this Resident Fellows Program is very encouraging.

A housing of a segment display or projection-type display, and the like have been formed of resin mold product, whereas a housing of light source lamps, and the like have been formed of metal.
Resin can be produced into various forms by molding with ease and at low costs, but it has a disadvantage of its poor heat resistance. Metal, on the other hand, has a problem of its high thermal expansion. These drawbacks are undesirable for optical devices in particular, because they cause decrease in display performance, decrease in utilization of light, and decrease in precision of recording and reproducing of information by means of light.
In view of the above-discussed problems, an object of the present invention is to provide components for optical devices free of problems, such as low heat resistance and deformation, which conventional resin molded products and metallic products have had.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
In order to solve the above-described problem, according to the present invention, an optical device component for various types of optical devices is a ceramic molded product produced by molding a molding material including a cement material having hydration reactivity into a desired shape, and then curing it.
In the present invention, a term "cement material having hydration reactivity" means not only a cement material which cures upon addition of water thereto, but also a cement material curable by its own hydration reactivity without addition of water by means of surface-treatment and the like. The cement material which can cure by its own hydration reactivity without addition of water may be prepared by, for example, a cement material which has been subjected to hydration reaction beforehand and added with a cross-linking resin.
According to the present invention, since the cement material is molded in a mold and the like, manufacturing without wasting the material, with high productivity and at low cost can be realized. Further, such molded products, when used for manufacturing the component for optical devices such as a housing for a segment display or a projection-type display, a reflector for a light source lamp unit, an optical recording medium, and an optical component supporting member for an optical head device, are not deformed by environmental temperature changes or heat generated by light sources, and, therefore, can maintain satisfactory performance. When the molded product is used as the reflector for the light source lamp unit, light utilization efficiency increases because there occurs no deformation of the molded product. Also, when it is used as the optical recording medium or the optical component supporting member for the optical head device, precision of recording and recording of information can be improved.
It is preferable to add a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyphenylene sulfide to the cement material or the molding material of the present invention. With such composition, when the materials are mixed in a molding machine, the thermoplastic resin is softened or melted due to heat generated during mixing, fluidity of the material moving from the molding machine into the mold is improved. In view of melting temperature and heat resistance and the like, the use of polypropylene or polystyrene as the thermoplastic resin is preferable.
According to the present invention, it is preferable to add inorganic fibers such as glass fibers and carbon fibers, to the cement material or the molding material. Such composition can increase the strength of the ceramic molded products.
The component for optical devices according to the present invention can be used as a housing for a display with optical components thereof held by the ceramic molded products formed into a housing-shape.
The component for optical devices according to the present invention can be used as a reflector formed with a reflecting surface on the front side of a reflector body formed of the ceramic molded product which is shaped so as to cover the rear side of a light source.
The component for optical devices according to the present invention can be used as an optical recording medium, in which has a layer of an optical recording material is formed on one surface of the component for optical devices formed into a shape of substrate.
The component for optical devices according to the present invention can be used as an optical element supporting member on which various types of optical components for an optical head device are mounted.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention are described.
[Producing Method 1]
According to the present invention, as a cement material having hydration reactivity, a molding material composed of the under-mentioned cement material with water added thereto, or hydrothermally synthesized ceramic, having a trade name of "Z-ma" and commercially available from Sumitomo Osaka Cement Co., Ltd., is used to produce the later-mentioned ceramic molded products, that is components for optical devices such as housings for segment displays and projection-type displays, reflectors for light source lamp units, optical recording mediums, and components for optical head devices.
An example of the molding material is as follows.
Cement Material: 100 parts by weight
Hydraulic Powder (Portland Cement): 40-80% by weight
Non-hydraulic Powder (Silica Fume): 10-50% by weight
Moldability Improving Agent (Talc): 10-30% by weight
Processability Improving Agent 2-9 parts by weight
(Acrylic Resin):
Thickener (Carboxymethyl Cellulose): 0.5-5 parts by weight
Water: 25 parts by weight
The cement material includes hydraulic powder, and non-hydraulic powder, moldability improving agent, a processability improving agent, a thickener, a filler etc. may also be optionally added. For example, the cement material may include 40%-80% by weight of hydraulic powder, 10%-50% by weight of non-hydraulic powder, and 10%-30% by weight of moldability improving agent, 2-9 parts by weight, relative to 100 parts by weight of the mixture powder, of processability improving agent, and 0.5-5 parts by weight of thickener.
The hydraulic powder is, for example, calcium silicate compound powder, calcium aluminate compound powder, calcium fluoroaluminate compound powder, calcium sulfoaluminate compound powder, calcium aluminoferrite compound powder, calcium phosphate powder, hemihydrate or anhydrous gypsum powder, or self-curing calcined lime powder, which can be cured by water. Typical hydraulic powder is Portland cement, for example.
The non-hydraulic powder is powder, which is not be cured alone even when it is brought into contact with water. Typical examples include calcium hydroxide powder, gypsum dehydrate powder, calcium carbonate powder, slag powder, fly ash powder, silica powder, clay powder, silica fume powder, and the like. Addition of such non-hydraulic powder increases a filling ratio during molding of molded products, and reduction of voids in the resulting molded products can be achieved. This improves dimensional stability of molded products.
The moldability improving agent is a material which improves slip property of the product relative to a mold during injection molding, and reduces anisotropy in moldability, and thereby provides stabilization of quality. Examples of the moldability improving agent include inorganic materials such as talc (hydrous magnesium silicate) and mica. Such inorganic materials have good orientation and give slip property to the surface of the molded products, and reduce friction relative to the mold, resulting in quality stabilization.
The processability improving agent contributes to improving moldability, releasing, machinability and grindability of the ceramic molded products and also improving precision of grinding. A composite resulted from adding the processability improving agent has an improved moldability because the processability improving agent serves as a molding assistant during pressure molding. Furthermore, the processability improving agent reduces brittleness of the ceramic molded products, and, therefore, the resulting molded products can be released from the molds without being damaged. This results in improvement in yield and workability. Also, the addition of the processability improving agent avoids cracking, chipping, and the like. This makes it possible to process the hydraulic composition, like metallic materials, by cutting and grinding using machining devices such as a lathe. Examples of such processability improving agents include vinyl acetate resin or vinyl acetate copolymer resin, acrylic resin or acryl copolymer resin, styrene resin or styrene copolymer resin, epoxy resin, and the like.
The thickener is a material which develops tackiness when dissolved into water, and is effective to increase bond between particles of the hydraulic and non-hydraulic powders, and effectively maintain the shape and water retention property of the ceramic products immediately after the molding, whereby dense and solid cured products can be formed. Examples of the thickener include methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, and the like.
In preparing the molding material using the cement material, water in an amount of 30 parts or less by weight, preferably 25 parts or less by weight, is added to 100 parts by weight of the cement material consisting of the hydraulic powder, the non-hydraulic powder, and the moldability improving agent, in addition to the above-described constituents. The amount of water to be added should be reduced in order to reduce shrinkage on drying.
In producing various molded products from the above-described molding material, the material is first molded into a desired shape by an injection molding machine and the like, and then the resulting ceramic products are cured.
The ceramic products thus produced are used as various components without or with additional machining provided thereto. According to this embodiment, the cement material is used to produce members formed of inorganic materials by molding. Therefore, the material can be less wasted than cutting and the like is employed, and higher productivity can be achieved. Thus, various components can be manufactured at a low cost.
In this embodiment, for example, several to several tens of percent of thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polystyrene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyphenylene sulfide, is added, in the form of pellets, flakes or powder, to the cement material or the molding material consisting of the cement material and water added to it, as described in the Producing Method 1, to produce later-described ceramic products, that is components for optical devices such as a housing for a segment display or a projection-type display, a reflector for a light source lamp, an optical recording medium, and a component of an optical head device.
When the molding material is mixed in an injection molding machine, being given heat and pressure, the thermoplastic resin is softened or melted due to the heat, so that fluidity of the molding material increases. As a result, pouring of the molding material into molds improves, so that ceramic molded products having good dimensional precision can be produced. Furthermore, when extrusion molding is employed, high fluidity of the molding material results in advantages, such as increase of dimensional precision when the molded product is extruded from a die.
In this embodiment, several to several tens of percent, for example, of inorganic fibers such as glass fibers and carbon fibers, prepared to have a required size, is added to the cement material or the molding material consisting of the cement material and water added thereto, as described in the Producing Methods 1 and 2, to produce the later-described ceramic products, that is components for optical devices such as a housing for a segment display or a projection-type display, a reflector for a light source lamp, an optical recording medium, and a component of an optical head device.
With this arrangement, the strength of the molded products using the cement material is improved, and therefore cracking and chipping of the products can be prevented.
In this embodiment, several to several tens of percent of metal or metal compound powder is added to the cement material or the molding material consisting of the cement material and water added thereto, as described in the Producing Methods 1, 2 and 3. The mixture is subjected to injection molding. The resulting molded products are then cured and, if necessary, machined to produce the later-described ceramic products, that is components for optical devices such as a housing for a segment display or a projection-type display, a reflector for a light source lamp, an optical recording medium, and a component of an optical head device.
The metal or metal compound powder to be added is ferrous powder or ferrous compound powder such as iron powder, stainless steel powder, Permalloy powder, sendust powder, iron oxide powder and magnetic material powder. Coppery powder such as copper powder, brass powder, nickel silver powder, phosphor bronze powder, and copper titanium powder can also be added as the metal or metal compound powder. Other than the above-described ferrous or coppery powder, metal powder such as aluminum powder, magnesium powder, nickel powder, tantalum powder, molybdenum powder, tin powder, lead powder, zinc powder, titanium powder, chromium powder, zirconium powder, and cobalt powder, may be added as the metal or metal compound powder. Also, silicon powder can be used.
According to this embodiment, in producing various ceramic molded products from these materials, the molding material is prepared by mixing the following materials, for example.
Powder:
Metal Powder or Metal Compound 10 parts by weight
According to this embodiment, metal powder is added to the cement material or the molding material consisting of the cement material and water added thereto, as described in the Producing Methods 1, 2 and 3. The mixture is subjected to injection molding. The resulting molded products are then cured and, if necessary, machined. After that, the metal powder is nitrided, sulfurated, or carburized, and the later-described ceramic products, that is components for optical devices such as a housing for a segment display or a projection-type display, a reflector for a light source lamp, an optical recording medium, and a component of an optical head device, are produced.
The powder of metal to be added is ferrous or ferrous compound powder such as iron powder, stainless steel powder, Permalloy powder, sendust powder, iron oxide powder, and magnetic material powder.
In this embodiment, in producing various ceramic molded products from these materials, the molding material is prepared by mixing the following materials, for example.
Ferrous Metal Powder: 10 parts by weight
[Application to Segment Display]
In FIG. 1, a segment display 10 includes a substrate 12 with a plurality of light-emitting elements 11 such as light-emitting diodes, phototransistors, and CdS cells, mounted thereon at predetermined locations, and a housing 14 formed with a plurality of transmission windows 13 in which the light-emitting devices 11 are disposed. The segment display 10 can display required information by controlling the turning on and off of the light-emitting elements 11 disposed in the respective transmission windows 13.
As the housing 14 (an component for an optical device) of the segment display 10, a resin molded product has been conventionally used. This embodiment, however, uses a white ceramic molded product with a front surface 15 painted in black or in other color, prepared by molding a molding material, formed of a cement material and water added thereto, into a desired shape, then, curing it, as described in the Producing Methods 1 through 5. Accordingly, even when the housing 14 is formed from an inorganic material, it can be produced without wasting the material, with high productivity and at a low cost. Furthermore, such ceramic molded products are not deformed by environmental temperature changes, and therefore can maintain good display performance. Also, unlike resin products, the housing 14 according to this embodiment is free from crosslinking reaction or decomposition reaction caused by ultraviolet radiation, and therefore it is highly weather-resistant. Hence, the housing 14 can be used as a display for outdoor use. The housing 14 of the present embodiment, even when it is white, has good heat-resistance and weather-resistance, it can exhibit reflectivity higher by about 30% or more than resin products, and, therefore, it can advantageously secure a sufficient amount of light for display.
[Application to Liquid Crystal Projector]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a liquid crystal projector (a projection type display) as an optical device according to the present invention.
In FIG. 2, in a liquid crystal projector 20, white light emitted from a light source unit 21 is separated into the three primary colors of red, green and blue, by dichroic mirrors 22 and condenser lenses 23, and the three color lights are led to three liquid crystal light valves 24, where they are individually modulated for respective colors. After that, these three color lights are combined in a dichroic prism 25 and projected through a projection lens 26. Being wholly or partly housed in a light-guide (not shown), the optical system is housed in a housing 27, which is sometimes called lamp housing. The light source unit 21 includes a light source lamp 28 such as a halogen lamp, a short-arc metal halide lamp, a xenon short-arc lamp, and a super high-pressure mercury lamp, a reflector 29 having a curved reflecting surface 291 on its inner surface, and a lamp housing (not shown).
A resin molded product has been conventionally used for the housing 27 (a component for an optical devices) or the light-guide (a component for an optical devices) of such liquid crystal projector 20. The present embodiment, however, uses a ceramic molded product prepared by molding a molding material, consisting of a cement material with water added thereto, into a desired shape, and then curing it, as described in the Producing Methods 1 through 5. Accordingly, even when an inorganic material is used to form the housing, it can be produced without wasting the material, with high productivity and at a low cost. Furthermore, such ceramic molded products have resistance against heat of from 270 degrees to 500 degrees and, therefore, are not deformed due to environmental temperature changes or heat generated by the light source. Accordingly, even when the liquid crystal projector 20 is downsized by highly integrating its optical components, it can have its optical axis undistorted, for example, and can maintain good display performance. Also, unlike resin products, the housing according to this embodiment is free from crosslinking reaction or decomposition reaction caused by ultraviolet radiation, and therefore exhibits improved weather-resistance.
Also, in the present embodiment, the light source unit 21 uses the reflector 29 (a component for an optical device) with the reflecting surface 291 produced by flame spraying a metal over the inner surface of a ceramic molded product prepared by molding a molding material, consisting of a cement material with water added to it, into a desired shape and, then, curing it, as described in the Producing Methods 1 through 5. Since the inner surface of the molded product is the surface with which a mold is contacting during the molding processing, it is smooth, and therefore the reflecting surface 291 can be formed simply by flame spraying the metal over it. Alternatively, the reflecting surface 291 may be formed by providing mirror finishing to the inner surface and flame-spraying the metal after that.
Accordingly, even when the reflector 29 is formed of an inorganic material, it can be produced without wasting the material, with high productivity and at a low cost. Furthermore, such ceramic molded products are not deformed due to environmental temperature changes or heat generated by the light source, and therefore it can have its optical axis undistorted, for example, and can maintain good display performance.
[Application to Optical Recording Medium]
In FIG. 3, an optical recording medium 40 such as a CD, a CD-R, or a DVD includes a disc-shaped substrate 41, and a recording layer 43 and a protective layer 44 laminated in this order on the lower surface thereof.
An engineering plastic has been conventionally used for the substrate 41 of the optical recording medium 40. In the present embodiment, however, a ceramic molded product is used, which is prepared by molding a molding material consisting of a cement material with water added thereto, into a desired shape, and then curing it, as described in the Producing Methods 1 through 5. If necessary, the protective layer 42 may be provided on the upper surface of the substrate 41, and a label may be printed on the side where the protective layer 42 is formed.
In this embodiment, even when the substrate 41 of the optical recording medium 40 is formed of an inorganic material, it can be produced without wasting the material, with high productivity and at a low cost. Furthermore, such molded products are not deformed due to environmental temperature changes, and therefore reproduction and recording can be realized with high precision. Specifically, polyamide and polybutylene terephthalate, which are engineering plastics, have the respective linear expansion coefficient of about 30×10−6 and about 20×10−6, while that of a hydraulic ceramic is 5×10−6, which is about a quarter of those of the engineering plastics. Iron has a linear expansion coefficient of about 12×10−6, and therefore that of the hydraulic ceramic is about a half of iron.
Furthermore, unlike resin molded products, since no crosslinking or decomposition reaction due to ultraviolet radiation occurs in ceramic molded products, the optical recording medium including the ceramic molded product has no warpage in an initial stage immediately following the molding and after a predetermined period, and therefore it has a high degree of flatness.
Hydraulic ceramic has a specific gravity of about 2, which is large in comparison with that of resin (about 1.0), but is small in comparison with that of aluminum (about 2.7). Accordingly, stable rotation can be realized, which results in high precision in both reproduction and recording.
It should be noted that the present invention is applicable not only to optical recording mediums such as a CD and a DVD, but also to other various optical recording mediums (including optomagnetic recording mediums).
[Application to Optical Head Device]
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of an optical head device according to the present invention. An optical head device 50 shown in FIG. 4 is used in reproducing and recording from and into an optical recording disc such as a CD and a DVD. The optical head device 50 includes an objective lens 51 for focusing laser light onto an optical recording medium, a lens holder 52 holding the objective lens 51, a magnetically driven objective lens driver 60 for moving the lens holder 52 in a tracking direction and in a focusing direction, and a device frame 55 mounted with the objective lens driver 60.
The device frame 55 has slides 56, 57 and 58 formed on both sides, which slide along guide shafts 66 and 67, so that the device frame 55 moves in the radial direction of an optical recording disc 2 and the device frame 55. Various optical components comprising an optical system with the objective lens 51 are also mounted on the device frame 55.
The device frame 55 is provided with a through-hole, in which the objective lens driver 60 is mounted. The objective lens driver 60 includes an actuator yoke 61 which opens at an upper side, and a spindle 62 stands vertically from a center of a bottom plate thereof. The lens holder 52 is movable along the spindle 62 in the focusing direction and, at the same time, rotatable about the spindle 62 in the tracking direction.
A magnetic driver circuit for tracking and a magnetic driver circuit for focusing, each including a driving coil and a driving magnet, are disposed between the objective lens driver 60 and the lens holder 52.
In the present embodiment, for the device frame 55 (an optical component supporting member) or the lens holder 52 (an optical component supporting member), a ceramic molded product is used, which is prepared by molding a molding material, consisting of a cement material with water added thereto, into a desired shape and then curing it, as described in the Producing Methods 1 through 5. Such ceramic molded products are not deformed due to environmental temperature changes or heat generated by a light source, and therefore it can have its optical axis undistorted, for example, and can maintain good display performance. Also, since the device frame 55 and the lens holder 52 according to the present embodiment are formed of ceramic molded products, they are light in weight. Furthermore, the device frame 55 and the lens holder 52 are rigid, and therefore they have an advantage that no resonance occurs in their operating ranges.
The objective lens driver 60 is of a sliding and rotating type, but the present invention can also be applied to an optical head device of a system in which a lens holder is supported by wire-suspensions.
OTHER EMBODIMENTS
In addition to the housings 14 and 27, the present invention can be applied to other components for optical devices such as frames for liquid crystal panels comprising displays of cellular phones and mobile computers, or frames for organic electroluminescent displays. Also, the present invention may be applied to housings for modularizing optical elements.
As described above, according to the present invention, components for optical devices are molded from a cement material, and therefore components for optical devices such as housings for segment displays and projection-type displays, and reflectors for light source lamps can be produced without wasting materials, with high productivity, and at a low cost. Also, since components for optical devices formed of such ceramic molded products are not deformed by environmental temperature changes or by heat generated by light sources, the optical devices can maintain good display performance.

"I believe the paint is the original claret finish, but it's hard to know.
There's no nickel plate under the paint, based on looking where there are a few chips. The only nickel plate is the rear dropouts."
