Abstract:
An automatic bending apparatus for bending a band-shaped work at a plurality of positions in sequence with intermittent feed of the work in a longitudinal direction thereof. The bending apparatus includes a swingable work holder for holding the work and a fixed bending jig for bending the work in cooperation with the work holder. The work projecting from an outlet of a passage formed in the holder is pressed against the jig by swinging the holder to approach it toward the jig. After bending the work, the holder is returned to a neutral position, and the work is fed to be projected from the outlet, then repeating the above operation. In marking the work with a cutter, a cutting sound detecting device such as a microphone is provided to detect whether the cutter has come into contact with the edge of the work. Further, a depth of cutting from the edge of the work is controlled to be constant on the basis of a timing of detection of the cutting sound.
Abstract:
A scanning line driving circuit includes an arithmetic circuit for generating an operation result for specifying a unit register for outputting an output signal by means of an arithmetic process on an output number control signal for specifying the number of signals to be outputted. An input stage of each unit register is provided with a signal control circuit for controlling whether to allow the unit register to output an output signal based on the operation result.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a viewfinder optical system that observes a subject image input from a photography optical system. The imaging apparatus also includes a transmissive member upon which is provided a line image indicating detection positions of photography supporting information relating to photography conditions, within a photography region. The photography conditions are at least one of setting information relating to a focus and setting information relating to an exposure. The imaging apparatus further includes an imaging device that acquires a photographed image relating to the subject image, the line image having been superimposed on the photographed image. In addition, the imaging apparatus includes a processing unit that corrects a part of the line image extracted from the line image shown in the photographed image, the part of the line image having been extracted corresponding to the photography conditions that have been set.

Abstract:
The invention pertains to a method and apparatus for treating blood. If pressure constraints occur during the execution of blood treatment, the pump flow rates are rapidly decelerated to remove the pressure constraints so that the treating operation will restore the normal state as quickly as possible. After the pressure constraints have been removed, the pump flow rates are restored at a preset acceleration without causing any excessive pressure buildup due to an abruptly increased load. If the pump flow rates immediately after the start of operation of the processor are increased through two stages of acceleration, the target flow rates can be rapidly reached without exerting any abrupt load on the processor and, hence, without causing an excessive pressure buildup.
Abstract:
The mold is secured on the bed portion, and the frame is moved up and down by the jack devices so that the rubber sheet is moved down to the mold and moved up from the mold in a reciprocating motion. While setting the work W, the rubber sheet is stretched by the sheet stretching devices for absorbing the deflection of the rubber sheet, thereby the possibility of the dislocation of the work W on the mold due to the contact with the rubber sheet is reduced, and the insertion of the work between the rubber sheet and the mold becomes easy. Both edge portions of the rubber sheet extending beyond the edge of the mold are clipped by the convex portion formed on the bed portion and the concave portion formed on the frame, thereby the wrinkling of the rubber sheet hardly occurs.
Abstract:
A target irradiating device including a magnetic force generating member for electrically generating a magnetic force; a power supplying member for supplying a driving power to the magnetic force generating member; a control member for controlling the power supplying member so that a voltage signal for periodically changing an intensity of the magnetic force is supplied from the power supplying member, the voltage signal having a lowering pattern in one cycle such that a bottom point of voltage maintained at a constant level; and an irradiating member for irradiating the magnetic force generated by the magnetic force generating member to a desired target. The target irradiating device may be adapted to a water treatment device for treating water as the desired target to obtain an irradiated water.

Provided is an air separation method and apparatus in which consumed power source can be reduced when oxygen is collected in a three-column process, including: a first separation step in which feed air is separated into high pressure nitrogen gas and high pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air; a second separation step in which a high pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air is separated into medium pressure nitrogen gas, and medium pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air; a first indirect heat exchange step in which a medium pressure nitrogen gas is condensed and a low pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air is vaporized by indirect heat exchange; and a third separation step in which a low pressure oxygen-enriched air is separated into low pressure nitrogen gas and low pressure liquid oxygen.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a first imaging sensor, a second imaging sensor, a display unit, an electronic viewfinder unit, a position changing unit and a sensor-shift shaking correction unit. The first imaging sensor acquires an image relating to a subject at the time of main photography. The second imaging sensor acquires an image relating to the subject before the time of main photography. The sensor-shift shaking correction unit performs shaking correction at the time of the main photography, by changing a position of the first sensor with the position changing unit. The electronic viewfinder unit performs consecutive image display on a display screen of the display unit, based on images sequentially acquired by the second imaging sensor before the main photography, and includes an electronic shaking correction unit that performs shaking correction of the consecutive image display, by changing the display position of the images on the display screen.
