摘要:
A wet blasting machine having a blasting apparatus wherein slurry is supplied from a main hopper through a supply conduit to a blasting gun. Slurry can be bled from the supply conduit through a control valve into a vessel for collecting a predetermined volume of slurry. The weight of the vessel is measured to generate a first signal which represents the slurry weight, and hence the slurry concentration. The first signal is compared to a second preset signal which represents the desired slurry concentration. If the second signal indicates that the slurry concentration in the main hopper is less than the desired magnitude, then the comparator emits an output signal which activates a supply device for adding additional media to the main hopper. The supply device preferably includes a mixing hopper to which both dry media and slurry from the main hopper are initially fed and mixed, prior to the enriched slurry then being fed into the main hopper.

An image forming apparatus comprises: a sensor that includes a light-emitting part for emitting light to a moving body and a light-receiving part; a light-incidence adjusting mechanism that is able to alternatively select from a first state where the light-incidence adjusting mechanism causes light which have been emitted from the sensor and then reflected by the moving body to enter the sensor and a second state where the light-incidence adjusting mechanism causes a reflected light of light emitted from the sensor not to enter the sensor; and a processing unit that causes the sensor to emit light, and corrects output of the sensor when the light-incidence adjusting mechanism is in the first state on the basis of output of the sensor when the light-incidence adjusting mechanism is in the second state.

摘要:
A velocity detecting device includes an image-pattern acquiring unit that includes a laser light source and an area sensor that acquires a one-dimensional or a two-dimensional image. The image-pattern acquiring unit includes a lens between a moving member and the area sensor, irradiates a beam emitted from the laser light source to the moving member to make a scattering light of the moving member scattered from the moving member on the area sensor by using the lens, and acquires an image pattern at a predetermined time interval in association with movement of the moving member. A velocity calculating unit calculates the velocity of the moving member by computing the image pattern acquired by the image-pattern acquiring unit. The lens is a reduced optical system that projects a reduced object onto the area sensor.

A guiding and transporting arrangement employs opposed guide rails which have longitudinally extending guide structure associated therewith for slidably accommodating a lead frame between the guide rails, which guide rails are slidably supported on transversely extending guide rods, and are drivingly coupled together by a threaded screw arrangement which can be driven to accurately move the guide rails inwardly and outwardly to adjust the spacing therebetween. A conveyor is disposed for cooperation with the guide rails and is disposed below the lead frames to drivingly displace the lead frames longitudinally along the guide rails.
