A camera comprises a lens unit and a camera body to which the lens unit is attached by a rotational operation. The camera body is provided with terminals including a specific terminal. Arrangement of the specific terminal is different from that of the other terminals. In detaching the lens unit from the camera body, the specific terminal is adapted to be disconnected earlier relative to the other terminals while the other terminals are connected. After the disconnection of the specific terminal has been detected, the other terminals are set to high impedance.

A gas turbine has a rotor shaft which includes a plurality of discs, each having a plurality of moving blades driven by combustion gas and arranged annularly on the peripheral portion and having spaces arranged between the discs. The respective discs and spacers are arranged in the axial direction. Gap portions are formed between the rotor axis side regions of the discs facing the spacers and adjacent spacers. Contact surfaces contacting each other on both rotor peripheral side regions of the discs facing the spaces and adjacent spacers are formed. A first flow path for supplying a coolant into the moving blades and a second flow path for recovering the coolant heated by the moving blades from the moving blade are provided. A third flow path for introducing fluid into the gap portions is formed in the discs with the third flow path being independent from the first and second flow paths.

A gas turbine has a gas turbine rotor including a plurality of rotary disks each having an opening of a circular shape formed through its central portion, the rotary disk including a pair of hub portions formed respectively on opposite sides thereof, and a pair of in-low portions formed respectively at the opposite sides thereof. The gas turbine rotor also includes a plurality of spacers each having an opening of a circular shape formed through its central portion, the spacer having a pair of in-low portions formed respectively at opposite sides thereof. The rotary disks and the spacers are alternately stacked together in such a manner that the opposite sides of each of the spacers contact opposed side surfaces of the adjacent hub portions, respectively, and that the in-low portions of each of the spacers are engaged respectively with the in-low portions of the adjacent rotary disks. The stack of rotary disks and spacers are fastened together in an axial direction by stacking bolts. A thickness of that portion of the rotary disk extending radially from an inner periphery of the hub portions to an inner peripheral surface of the rotary disk is so determined that stresses, developing at the inner peripheral surface of the rotary disk, can be made generally equal to one another over an entire area thereof.

摘要:
An image reading apparatus which is capable of performing accurate shading correction with simple arrangement while preventing a reference member from being scratched and paper powder and the like dust from being deposited on the reference member. The image reading apparatus comprises an image reading unit. In the image reading unit, a contact glass guides an original on an image reading location. The contact glass is held by a glass holding member. A line image sensor reads the image on the original conveyed on the image reading location, through the contact glass. The image reading unit further comprises a reference member whose image is readable by the image sensor, and a moving mechanism to move the image sensor so as to enable the image sensor to alternatively read the original and a reference surface of the reference member.
