Abstract:
A packaging apparatus for applying a packaging sheet to cover the contents and simultaneously seal them including an adhering mechanism for adhering tape at corresponding sealing positions of the packaging sheet. The adhering mechanism is movable toward or away from the tape feeding-out mechanisms. Adhering tapes are adhered to the corresponding sealing position while being partially projected. The packaging sheet, including the adhering tapes, is fed out by the sheet feeding-out mechanism to the packaging start position. Concurrent to the completion of the folding of the packaging sheet during the packaging operation, projected portions of the adhering tapes are adhered.
Abstract:
An ultrasonic imaging apparatus includes an ultrasonic scanner, a TV monitor, a video tape recorder, a video freezing unit, a scale information setter/reader. A tomographic image signal is derived from the ultrasonic scanner and stored in the video tape recorder after being superimposed to the scale information signal derived from the scale information setter/reader. A desirable tomographic image is video-freezed by the video-freezing unit while observing a plurality of tomographic images displayed on the TV monitor. The actual measurement is effected by determining the actual value based upon the scale information previously superimposed to the tomographic video signal.
Abstract:
An antimicrobial carpet having bacteriostatic and sterilizing effect against molds, bacteria and viruses is prepared by incorporating into fibrous materials prior to or after fabrication into a carpet an amino acid type surfactant represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein RCO is a C.sub.8 -C.sub.16 fatty acid residue.
Abstract:
A puffer type gas circuit breaker comprises a first and a second arcing electrodes movable relative to each other, an insulating nozzle surrounding the second arcing electrode, a puffer device for introducing an arc-suppressing gas into the insulating nozzle to puff out the arc produced between the two arcing electrodes when the breaker is in motion for circuit breaking, and a movable shield device for relieving the concentration of an electric field at the front end of the first arcing electrode during the breaker motion for circuit breaking. When the breaker is closed and the circuit made, the movable shield device surrounds the first arcing electrode and insulating nozzle, with a predetermined gap between itself and the insulating nozzle opposite thereto, and is kept at the same potential as the first arcing electrode. The circuit breaker further includes a device for maintaining the predetermined gap and the same potential at least in the early stage of the breaker motion for current breaking.
Abstract:
A first circulation channel connects a first heat demand part and first supply heat exchanger with its forward route and return route. Supply and discharge channels are connected to a first heat accumulation tank, which accommodates a second heat medium heated in the first supply heat exchanger and supplied via the supply channel. A heat accumulation switching valve changes over communication of the second heat medium serving as hot heat or cold heat flowing from the first supply heat exchanger and supplied to the first heat demand part without branching to the supply channel or branching to the supply channel and supplied to the first heat accumulation tank. A heat-accumulating hot-water-supplying air conditioner operates at a first temperature when the second heat medium from the first supply heat exchanger branches to the supply channel, and at a second lower temperature when the second heat medium does not branch to the supply channel.
Abstract:
A detecting apparatus includes: a change-over switch for switching on/off display of a scope model on a liquid crystal monitor; a position calculating portion for calculating respective positions of source coils; a scope model generating portion for generating a scope model of an electronic endoscope based on the respective positions of the source coils calculated by the position calculating portion; and a selector for selectively outputting to the liquid crystal monitor a display-pause-time image stored in a display-pause-time image storing portion and a scope model image from the scope model generating portion; and a control portion for controlling each of these portions. The detecting apparatus thus displays an insertion shape of the endoscope at a timing as needed.
Abstract:
Provided is a shower apparatus which can stably supply bubbly water through all nozzle holes and can cause water droplets of large, uniform size to land continuously on the user so as to allow the user to enjoy a shower with a voluminous feel as if the user were being showered by large drops of rain. The shower apparatus includes a water supply unit, a throttle unit adapted to eject passing water downstream, an aeration unit adapted to produce bubbly water by aerating the water ejected through the throttle unit, and a nozzle unit provided with a plurality of nozzle holes used to discharge the bubbly water, wherein the throttle unit has a flat-shaped throttle channel and water ejected through the throttle channel plunges into an air-liquid interface as a sheet-like stream, thereby producing bubbly water, which is then discharged through the nozzle hole.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a shower apparatus that allows the user to have a shower stream with a voluminous feel, even when a small volume of water is discharged, and also with a stimulus sensation arising from water being discharged in a pulsating manner. A shower apparatus F1 periodically changes the volume of air taken into an aeration unit 43 by oscillating a main water stream ejected toward the aeration unit 43 from a throttle unit 42 in a direction crossing the direction of the ejection, so that the bubbly water discharged from a water discharge unit 44 creates a pulsating shower stream.
Abstract:
A recording apparatus including a printing unit that contacts or separates a thermal head with or from a platen using the driving force of a UD motor, one or more sheet feed units that include sheet feed rollers which are rotated forward or backward by the driving force of an LF motor transmitted through a transport gear group and pressure rollers which are supported between a pair of roller supporting members and are urged by elastic members to come into pressure contact with the sheet feed rollers, and are provided on an upstream side and a downstream side of the printing unit in a transport path of a recording sheet, a pressure release mechanism including a cam shaft that is rotatably provided so as to tilt the pair of roller supporting members of the sheet feed units against the urging force of the elastic members and separates the pressure rollers from the sheet feed rollers, and a pressure release gear group that transmits the driving force of the LF motor to the cam shaft of the pressure release mechanism, the driving force of the LF motor being transmitted to the pressure release gear group and the transport gear group.
Abstract:
A register control method and printing press capable of preventing wasted paper and improving cost effectiveness by improving detection of a register mark is provided. A position of a register mark printed on a web before starting printing is predicted. A plate cylinder is preset on the basis of the prediction. Then, a predicted value of the register mark position to be used for the next operation is corrected on the basis of the difference between the position of an actual printed register mark and the predicted position. For example, when the predicted value of the register mark is A, an actual position of a register mark is B, and the corrected predicted value of the register mark is A′, correction is carried out on the basis of A′=A+(B−A)×k (where k is a coefficient smaller than one).
