A bending apparatus includes: an upper bending die 63U for downward bending both ends of the plate material gripped between upper and lower plates 59U and 59L provided on upper and lower frames 35U and 35L, respectively and a lower bending die 63L for upward bending both ends of the same plate material; and upper and lower bending mechanisms each including a link mechanism for moving the upper bending die or the lower bending die in both upward or downward direction, respectively. In the bending apparatus according to the present invention, since the upper and lower bending mechanisms 61U and 61L are constructed by a link mechanism, respectively, it is possible to move the upper or lower bending die 63U or 63L far away from the bending position of the plate material W.

A gas sensor using an ionic conductor has a thin-film gas detection portion on an alumina substrate. The gas detection portion comprises a zirconia ionic conductor layer, a pair of platinum electrodes provided with the ionic conductor layer interposed therebetween, and a pair of junction layers positioned between the ionic conductor layer and each electrode and formed in a state in which the substances of the ionic conductor layers and the electrodes are mixed therein.The gas sensor using an ionic conductor is formed by sequentially forming a first electrode, a first junction layer, an ionic conductor layer, a second junction layer, and a second electrode by a physical vapor deposition method on a substrate, wherein the first and second junction layers are formed to be in a state in which the substances of the ionic conductor layers and the electrodes are both present.

A thin film mutilayered air-fuel ratio sensor having a sensor element including a first electrode formed on a porous substrate, a first solid electrolyte and a third electrode formed on the first electrode in this order, in such a manner that the first electrode is completely covered by the first solid electrolyte inclusive of its surroundings, and that the first solid electrolyte is completely covered by the third electrode inclusive of its surroundings, a second solid electrolyte and a fourth electrode and formed on the third electrode in this order, in such a manner that the peripheral portion of the third electrode is left uncovered by the second solid electrolyte and the fourth electrode and thereby left exposed. The first electrode, the third electrode, and the fourth electrode are made of a gas-permeable porous platinum, and the first solid electrolyte and the second solid electrolyte are made of a gas-permeable dense solid electrolyte having oxygen ion conductivity. The sensor has far improved performance as compared to the conventional ones and can be made compact.

An impact absorber for a legged mobile robot having a body and two legs each connected to the body for absorbing impact arising when the robot collides with pipes or other objects in its walking environment so as to protect both the robot and the object. In a first embodiment, the impact absorber comprises a balloon disposed around the body and filled with air. When the balloon comes into contact with the object, it is deflated so as to absorb impact arising from the contact. In a second embodiment, the impact absorber comprises a cylinder fixed to the robot leg and a piston slidably disposed in the cylinder so as to define a chamber filled with an oil. A flat member is fixed to the rod of the piston and when it comes into contact with the object, the piston is thrust into the cylinder so as to absorb the impact. The impact absorber may be a resilient material coating on the robot to cushion the impact when the robot comes into contact with the object, or it may include air bags.

A main steam isolation valve of a reactor power plant comprises a valve body provided with inlet and outlet portions through which a steam flows, a cylindrical valve disk accommodated in the valve body to be reciprocatingly movable therein along an inner peripheral surface of the valve body for opening and closing the steam flow inlet portion and a driving mechanism secured to the valve body and operatively connected to the valve disk for reciprocatingly moving the valve disk in the valve body. A coupling member is applied to an end opening of the valve body for holding the valve disk when the valve disk is shifted to a position fully opening the inlet portion. A tubular wall member is integrally formed with the valve body so as to surround the valve disk with a gap therebetween when the valve disk is fully opened. A guide rib is further disposed to the valve body for causing asymmetric steam flow in the inlet portion of the steam flow of the valve body.

An elevator car and a counterweight is suspended on a sheave by means of a rope in a well-rope faashion. In dependence on the number of passengers on the car, the sheave is applied with an unbalance torque making appearance between the car and counterweight. Upon starting of the elevator operation by releasing a brake, upward or backward bouncing of the car takes place due to the unbalance torque. For preventing such bouncing of the car, a start compensation is performed by generating a motor torque which can cancel out the unbalance torque in precedence to the releasing of the brake. The brake is installed swingably on a winding equipment. Displacement of the brake during actuation thereof indicates the presence of the unbalance torque. By taking advantage of this displacement, the start compensation is carried out by increasing the motor torque progressively in the direction depending on the displacement and by holding the motor torque constant at a value attained when the displacement becomes smaller than a predetermined value.

An electrically programmable read only memory is equipped with latch circuits for sequentially introducing series signals which are fed through external terminals. The converter includes sequentially operated switch elements and latch circuits in order to convert the series signals into parallel signals. The thus converted parallel signals are written simultaneously in a memory array via address decoder operated selection switch elements. According to this method, the writing operations into the memory array can be conducted at a high speed even when one writing operation is relatively long as a result of the parallel signal action.
