Abstract:
A discharge port is located at a lower portion of the case of a gas-liquid separator. A discharge valve is located at the discharge port. A water retaining portion is located at the bottom of the case. The water retaining portion is located at a position lower than the discharge valve. An upward inclination surface is formed on the bottom of the water retaining portion. The upward inclination surface is inclined upward toward the discharge valve. A downward inclination surface is formed on the bottom of the water retaining portion. The downward inclination surface is inclined downward toward the upward inclination surface. A cover portion is located in an upper portion of the water retaining portion. The cover portion defines a gas passage in an upper portion of the water retaining portion. The gas passage is open at a portion closer to the inlet and connected to the discharge valve.
Abstract:
An automated commodity customer delivery driven method/system to manage commodity sales by acquiring a chance of purchase of a selecting customer as well as another new customer for a relevant commodity by assuring availability of the inventory for both customers of the relevant commodity. The shop inventory for the selecting customer is acquired according to acceptance of a temporary reservation status for requesting acquisition of the inventory of the selected commodity and the inventory in the shop that was acquired for the selecting customer is returned to the number of inventories for selling to the other new customer, based upon a specified method of transferring the selected commodity to the selecting customer.
Abstract:
A plate removal apparatus in a rotary printing press, which removes outside a printing unit a plate unfixed from a plate fixing unit of a plate cylinder in the printing unit includes a first guide member and a regulating member. The first guide member falls inside the printing unit in removing the plate from the plate cylinder to guide the plate removed from the plate cylinder outside the printing unit. The regulating member is interlocked with falling operation of the first guide member to prevent the plate guided by the first guide member from entering into the printing unit.
Abstract:
A plate inserting apparatus in a rotary printing press for inserting a plate into a plate fixing unit of a plate cylinder includes a plate holder, a cover, and a first reference pin. The plate holder moves between a first position where the plate holder holds the plate and a second position where the held plate is inserted into the plate fixing unit of the plate cylinder. The cover selectively opens and closes a plate insertion side of the plate cylinder. The first reference pin is fixed to the cover to position the plate before held by the plate holder when the plate holder is located at the first position.
Abstract:
A high-speed image signal processing system for encoding an image signal, read out at a high speed, into an encoded signal, and/or for recording a decoded signal obtained through a decoding operation on an encoded signal. The image signal, obtained through a scanning operation on an original document, is sent to an encoder through an image bus. A code bus, provided at an output of the encoder, is connected with an encoded-signal memory for storing the encoded signal. A code transfer unit, for performing input/output operation over the encoded signal and for performing transfer of the encoded signal from the code bus to a system bus, is disposed between the code bus and the system bus. A control unit, performing control over the entire system, and a document management data memory, storing management data for performing management over documents stored in the encoded-signal memory, are connected to the system bus. Further, the control unit, when receiving a request from a data input/output unit, issues a command indicative of the start of the encoding/decoding operation to the encoder/decoder. The encoder/decoder, when receiving the command from the control unit, sequentially processes the data from the data input/output unit without any intervention of the control unit, and when the data processing is completed, informs the control unit of the end of the data processing.
Abstract:
The optimum control conditions for a plurality of looms are simply estimated with the use of a trial loom. Hereby, the plurality of looms are operated under a centralized control method. The looms, even if they vary in their respective characteristics, can be effectively operated by correcting standard control data for controlling the looms in response to variations of the loom characteristics. The present centralized control method can save much labor and time to improve productivity of the looms, by properly eliminating elaborate trial weaving processes.
Abstract:
In a usual state, information concerning all stores where a user is registered as a member (a list of stores where the user is registered as a member) is listed on an electronic paper of a membership card. When the user who carries the membership card enters one store where the user is registered as a member, the membership card recognizes the entering into the store and thereby switches automatically the displayed contents on the electronic paper into information concerning that store. When the user passes through the exit of the store, the displayed contents on the electronic paper is returned to the listing display of all stores. Even a single card has the functions of a large number of cards and is valid to all the stores. This avoids the necessity that the user should carry a large number of cards.
Abstract:
A scroll compressor has a pair of interleaved scrolls. An Oldham coupling is attached to the orbiting scroll to prevent of the orbiting scroll. This Oldham coupling has keys that are sliding received in slots. One side of each key is loaded while the opposite side is non-loaded. The non-loaded side of the key has stepped or profiled surface to provided clearance to allow deflection of the key. In another embodiment, the stepped or profiled surface is provided on the non-loaded side of the slot.
Abstract:
A plate exchanging apparatus in a rotary printing press, which removes an old plate from a plate fixing unit of a plate cylinder and inserts a new plate includes a plate holder and an actuator. The plate holder holds the new plate. The actuator performs one of moving and swinging operations of the plate holder in directions to come close to and separate from the plate cylinder. The actuator selectively positions the plate holder to a first position where the new plate is held in the plate holder, a second position where the new plate held by the plate holder is retreated from an old plate removal path, and a third position where the new plate is inserted into the plate fixing unit of the plate cylinder.
Abstract:
An apparatus for mounting a plate on a plate cylinder includes a plate lockup device, reference pins, and a lamp. The plate lockup device is provided in a gap formed in the circumference surface of the plate cylinder. The reference pins are electrically rendered conductive by an insertion end of a plate inserted to a gripper surface of the plate lockup device, thereby detecting insertion of the plate. The lamp confirms and indicates insertion of the plate from an output from the reference pins.
