Abstract:
A pumping ring 46 producing an axial flow of sealed flow is secured to a rotary shaft 6 at an axial position different from a rotary ring 56 so that the sealed fluid positioned in the sealed space 33 flows along the axial direction of the rotary shaft 6. A discharge hole 14 is formed on an inner circumferential surface of a seal cover 8 positioned in the downstream side of the axial flow of the sealed fluid resulting from a rotation of the pumping ring 46. An inflow hole 15 is formed in the upstream side of the axial flow of the sealed fluid resulting from the rotation of the pumping ring 46, so that the sealed fluid discharged from the discharge hole 14 returns to the inside of the sealed space from the inflow hole 15. On the inner circumferential surface of the seal cover 8 provided with the discharge hole 14, a baffle member 18 is provided so that it protrudes radially inward in order to block the flow of the sealed fluid along the rotating direction of a retainer 52 and orient the sealed fluid toward the discharge hole 14.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a completely nonmetallic pipe connection mechanism for a seal device. In the pipe connecting mechanism of the present invention, a metallic reinforcing pipe (60) is screwed in a through-bore (53) of a flange (50), and a resin connecting pipe (70) is inserted into a through-bore (67) and an expanding diameter portion (68) of the metallic reinforcing pipe (60). Also, a metallic cap (80) is installed in a head (63) of the metallic reinforcing pipe (60), and a large diameter portion (74) of the resin connecting pipe (70) is sandwiched between the metallic reinforcing pipe (60) and the metallic cap (80). Also, a tapered male screw (96) of a resin connector (90) is screwed in a tapered female screw (76) of the large diameter portion (74) of the resin connecting pipe (70) to connect a tube (98) with the resin connecting pipe (70). The tip portion of the resin connecting pipe (70) is provided with an O-ring (72), which is arranged on an expanding diameter portion (16) of the stationary ring (10) to seal between an outer circumference surface of the resin connecting pipe (70) and an inner circumference surface of the expanding diameter portion (16).
Abstract:
In the wireless HDMI converter, appropriate audio data input switching is performed, and, when an instruction is received, an audio data extraction unit extracts audio data from video and audio data received by an HDMI input interface from an STB, and an optical audio output interface outputs the extracted audio data to a home theater, thereby avoiding failure of wireless communication by a wireless interface or deterioration of the quality of such wireless communication.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus searches for an apparatus that has a transmission destination that can be accessed from an image forming apparatus on a network when a transmission destination of file transmission processing cannot be accessed from the image forming apparatus, generates a process flow including processing in which the image forming apparatus transmits a file to the transmission destination in the apparatus found through the search and transmits the generated process flow to the image forming apparatus, and generates a process flow including processing for moving the file from the transmission destination in the apparatus found through the search to a designated transmission destination and stores the generated process flow in the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus executes the generated process flow when the end of the processing is notified from the image forming apparatus.
Abstract:
A television (10) includes: a WiHD-RX (11) which receives signals transmitted from a camcorder (20) and a BD system (30); an orientation detection unit (102) which detects information indicating a relative position between a WiHD-TX (21) and a WiHD-RXTX (31); a communication status obtainment unit (104a) which obtains communication status information indicating whether or not it is possible to transmit a video signal or an audio signal from one of the camcorder (20) and the BD system (30) to the other; and a change information generation unit (104b) which generates, based on a detection result of by the orientation detection unit (102), and outputs change information when the communication status information indicates that the transmission is not possible. The change information indicates a direction for moving a communication range of the video signal or the audio signal from the WiHD-TX (21) closer to the WiHD-RXTX (31).
Abstract:
A calibrating technique is provided for the position/attitude or only the position of an arm tip of a robot, such as an articulated type of robot. At plural positions, respective n pieces of errors (Δφn, wherein n is a positive integer larger than a value obtained by dividing the number of unknown parameters by 6 or 3) are calculated. Each error is a difference between a position of the arm tip measured and a position commanded by control. An inter-error difference (Δεy (1≦y≦n−1)) between a reference error (Δφm (1≦m≦n)) arbitrarily selected from the n-piece errors (Δφn) and other errors (Δφx (x≦n, except for m)) other than the reference error (Δφm) is calculated. A parameter, which is a basis for calculating the inter-error differences (Δεy), is made to converge until a sum of absolute values of the inter-error differences (Δεy) becomes within a given threshold (ε0 (ε0>0)).

The invention provides a material for forming a passivation film for a semiconductor substrate. The material includes a polymer compound having an anionic group or a cationic group.
Abstract:
The invention provides an image forming apparatus and an information processing method, in which when a process for information which is put to each storage area is executed, a loop process which repeats a same specific process while moving the information between the storage areas is limited. When the input of the information to one of the storage areas is detected, whether or not loop information showing a loop state where the same specific process is repeated while moving the information between the storage areas has been set in history information set in attribute information of the input information is discriminated. If it is determined that the loop information is not set in the history information, a first process for executing the specific process is executed. If it is decided that the loop information has been set, a second process different from the first process is executed.
