A conveyor is provided that can easily accommodate a change in specification of stations. Carriages (100) are coupled by carriage couplers (200, 210). Driving units (20) are provided to move entire coupled units (B1, B2) together by driving some of the coupled carriages (100). A distance of conveyance can be changed and a change in specification can be easily coped with only by rearranging the driving units (20).

A flow control valve having a seating surface formed on a valve element to contact a valve seat when the valve is closed has a shape of a part of a hypothetical spherical surface having a spherical center at a center of a supporting member. Therefore, the distance from the center of the supporting member to the seating surface is kept constant, and the valve element can be seated at a periphery of the valve seat without a gap, even if the shaft is inclined. Thus, the valve leakage is reduced. The supporting member supports a shaft connected to the valve element movable in an axial direction of the shaft. The center of the supporting member is aligned with a center of the valve seat. Movement of the supporting member in a radial direction of the supporting member is prohibited. Therefore, the center of the supporting member is not displaced from the center of the valve seat in the radial direction. Accordingly, the displacement of the shaft in the radial direction can be prevented. Therefore, the valve element is certainly seated on the valve seat, and the valve leakage is prevented.

A printer that performs high-precision residual-ink detection regardless of various movements accompanying print operation and facsimile apparatus using the printer. When an ink cartridge reciprocates along a main-scanning direction, ink surface of ink 91 varies depending on a moving direction and moving condition (stationary state, uniform motion, accelerated motion and decelerated motion) of the ink cartridge. Accordingly, the residual-ink detection is controlled such that a residual-ink amount can be detected by using photosensor 11 and reflection board 93, at the same detection timing (e.g., always at timing of uniform motion).

A process for dissolving used catalyst includes the steps of roasting, after subjecting to an optional deoiling treatment, the used catalyst at a temperature lower than 1,000.degree. C. but not lower than the temperature at which any of the residual components in the used catalyst undergoes ignition and combustion where the residual components are selected from the group consisting of oils, sulfur components, and carbon components; and dissolving the roasted product using sulfuric acid after adding a metal to the roasted product as a catalyst for accelerating dissolution. The process provides a simple and efficient method for completely dissolving a used catalyst having a carrier containing alumina as the principal component.

A facsimile apparatus includes a mounting portion for detachably receiving a data memorandum card having data input keys. The mounting portion has an opening for allow key operations of the card mounted in the mounting portion. The mounting portion causes a positioning mechanism to accurately position the card mounted in the mounting portion, thereby allowing accurate signal exchange between the data memorandum card and a facsimile apparatus main body.

An actuator for an engine idling control mechanism, which includes a throttle valve disposed in an intake manifold tube, a slidable plunger unit, a drive mechanism for forcibly sliding the plunger unit, a detecting device for detecting whether the throttle valve is open or closed, and a control unit for controlling the drive mechanism in relation to the detecting device, for properly setting the degree of opening of the throttle valve at the time the engine is idling. The plunger unit is designed in such a way that, when the throttle valve is closed, the plunger unit is pushed by a control lever which is positioned in accordance with the degree of opening of the throttle valve. The drive mechanism can set the degree of opening of the throttle valve through the plunger unit and the control lever. The detecting device includes a pair of magnets and a detector for detecting the magnetic flux of the magnets. The magnets are slidable in the same direction as the plunger unit, and are slid by the plunger unit when the throttle valve is closed, for adjusting the degree of opening of the throttle valve.
摘要:
A jewelling and ornamental material comprising many amorphous silica spheres regularly arranged in a three-dimensional array and a zirconium compound filled in pores existing among the amorphous silica spheres, the amount of the zirconium compound being 0.005 to 8% by weight, as zirconium, based on the entire material; and a process for its production. This material has a play of colors inherent to natural opal, and excellent durability.

A liquid ejection apparatus includes a pressure sensor and a determining unit. The pressure sensor is configured to detect a pressure in an ink supply path for use in supplying ink from an ink tank to a recording head. The determining unit determines whether the ink supply path is anomalous based on a result of detection of the pressure in the ink supply path by the pressure sensor performed in response to application of a fluctuating pressure to the ink in the ink tank.

A rotation angle detecting device includes a magnet (4), a magnetic substance unit (5), and a non-contact magnetic detection element (7). The magnet (4) rotates with an object to be measured and includes two ends magnetized so as to have opposite polarities. The magnetic substance unit (5) forms a predetermined air gap with the two ends of the magnet (4) and is divided into magnetic members (6) so as to provide plane symmetry with respect to a vertical plane perpendicularly crossing a rotational center axis of the magnet (4) to form a magnetic detection gap (9) by the division. The non-contact magnetic detection element (7) is provided in the magnetic detection gap (9) between the magnetic members (6) so as to output a signal corresponding to a density of a magnetic flux passing through the magnetic detection gap (9). The rotation angle of the object to be measured is detected based on the output signal from the magnetic detection element (7). The magnetic members (6) include reverse warp parts (34) so that the air gap suddenly increases when the magnet (4) rotates at a predetermined rotation angle from a state where the air gap is minimum in a direction in which the air gap increases.
