摘要:
A sensor includes a plurality of elements and an insulating layer. The plurality of elements is deformable to generate power. The insulating layer is interposed between the plurality of elements. Each of the plurality of elements includes a pair of electrodes and an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is disposed between the pair of electrodes and formed of one of a rubber and a rubber composition.

Disclosed is a method for producing a catalyst-supporting carrier, including a step of supplying subcritical carbon dioxide or supercritical carbon dioxide to a dissolving tank containing a catalyst precursor generated when a catalyst is reduced to dissolve the catalyst precursor in the subcritical carbon dioxide or the supercritical carbon dioxide; a step of supplying the subcritical carbon dioxide or the supercritical carbon dioxide in which the catalyst precursor is dissolved to a supporting tank containing a carrier and reducing the catalyst precursor to cause the catalyst to be supported on the carrier; and a step of supplying the sub-critical carbon dioxide or the supercritical carbon dioxide to the supporting tank containing the carrier on which the catalyst is supported to clean the carrier.

An image data reading apparatus is provided, comprising a transport part for transporting an original sheet to a reading position within the image data reading apparatus, a white reference plate provided at the reading position, a light source for generating a light projected to the reading position, a light receiving part for converting an incoming light reflected from the white reference plate into a white reference signal and for converting an incoming light reflected from the original sheet into an image signal, a correction part for eliminating a shading from the image signal based on a reference voltage, a peak level holding part for detecting and storing a peak level of a corrected signal from the correction part, a quantization part for converting an incoming signal from the correction part into digital information based on the peak level, and a switching part for turning the peak level holding part off to stop detection and storing of the peak level of the incoming signal for a prescribed time period between a time the white reference signal is received by the light receiving part from the white reference plate and at a time the original sheet is transported to the reading position, so that the peak level holding part receives no signal from the light receiving part during the prescribed time period.

An integrated input/output device includes a substrate having a pair of opposite surfaces, and an input function unit is defined on one of the pair of opposite surfaces and an output function unit is defined on the other of the pair of opposite surfaces. In the preferred embodiment, a reading unit for optically reading an original document and a thermal printhead for recording an image on recording paper are defined on opposite surfaces of the same substrate. Such an integrated input/output device is compact in size, thereby contributing to minimize its space requirement for installation, and sturdy in structure.
摘要:
An image reader applicable to a document or image reading section of a facsimile apparatus or the like and equipped with a line image sensor. Light-sensitive cells of the line image sensor are divided into blocks which in turn are sorted by the order of arrangement into a plurality of groups. The blocks in one group are switched from one to another while outputs of the other group are selected. The light-sensitive cells constituting the respective blocks are classified into a plurality of groups by the order of arrangement, so that the different groups are driven in parallel.
摘要:
An image reader in which a plurality of light-sensitive cells arranged in an array in a line image sensor are divided into a predetermined number of blocks, and the blocks are sequentially selected to sequentially drive the light-sensitive cells in each of the blocks to produce image signals. Charging switches are provided for charging the light-sensitive cells via block selector switches. The charging switches are activated after a signal read time assigned to each light-sensitive cell has expired to thereby shorten the charging time necessary for the light-sensitive cell. The block selector switches are each actuated at a predetermined timing while the charging switches are activated, thereby preventing noise due to switching actions of the block selector switches from being introduced into image signals.

A sensor includes an electrode, an insulator, a pressure receiver, and a pressure imparting unit. The insulator is disposed at a position facing the electrode and away from the electrode. The pressure receiver is disposed on a surface of the insulator on a side opposite to the electrode. The pressure imparting unit presses a part of the insulator toward the electrode at a position different from the pressure receiver to contact the insulator with the electrode. The insulator generates power by contact charging or separation charging with respect to the electrode, to output the power as a signal.
摘要:
A fluid purifying apparatus that purifies fluid containing organic matter has a reactor including a first transfer part that receives the fluid from outside and transfers the fluid in a vertical direction from an upper side to a lower side while heating and pressurizing the fluid and mixing the fluid with an oxidant, a second transfer part that receives the fluid that has passed through the first transfer part and transfers the fluid in the vertical direction from the lower side to the upper side, and a partition member that partitions an upper part of the reactor into the first transfer part and the second transfer part, and a solid storage part that communicates with the first transfer part and the second transfer part below the partition member and receives solid matter contained in the fluid that settles while the fluid is transferred.
摘要:
Plural types of fluids that are incompatible with each other are merged. A disturbance is induced at an interface between the fluids by causing the fluids to flow through a merged flow passage having a cross-sectional area that changes. One type of the fluids is turned into microscopic liquid droplets.
