A pneumatic pulverizer comprises an accelerating pipe for conveying and accelerating powder by a high pressure gas, a pulverizing chamber and an impinging member which pulverizes the powder jetted out from the accelerating pipe through impinging force. The impinging member is provided in the pulverizing chamber as opposed to the accelerating pipe outlet and the impinging member has an impinging surface with a tip portion having a conical shape with an apex angle of 110.degree. to 175.degree.. In this way, powder is pulverized at the impinging surface of the impinging member and dispersed substantially in the entire circumferential direction after impinging and the powder dispersed may impinge secondarily on the wall of the pulverizing chamber.

Even if a mattress or the like suffers long-term deterioration, a sleep state measuring apparatus is provided which can set a suitable amplification factor A of a biosignal. The sleep state measuring apparatus detects the biosignal which changes depending on the sleep state of a person who gets on the mattress filled with water, amplifies the biosignal, and estimates the sleep state based on the biosignal. A static component P of the mattress internal pressure detected by a biosignal sensor is first obtained (S 11). The mattress internal pressure is the pressure of water in the mattress. From the static component P of the mattress internal pressure, a fluctuation part ΔV of the mattress internal pressure depending on the value is specified (S 12). Each value of the fluctuation part ΔV of the mattress internal pressure is obtained beforehand by applying a predetermined load, and changing the static component P of the mattress internal pressure. The above-described amplification factor A is calculated by correcting predetermined standard amplification factor A0 with the specified fluctuation part ΔV (S 13).

A process for producing a continuous alumina fiber blanket by heat treating an alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound, by using a specific high-temperature furnace capable of high-temperature heat treatment. According to this process, a continuous sheet (W) of alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound is supplied continuously into a high-temperature furnace and subjected to heat treatment while being conveyed in one direction by plural conveying mechanisms (2, 3) disposed in said high-temperature furnace. In this operation, the speed of said conveying mechanisms is reduced progressively in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of the continuous sheet (W) of alumina fiber precursor, thereby to lessen fiber crush in the alumina fiber precursor and obtain a continuous alumina fiber blanket with uniform thickness and high bulk density as well as high strength.

摘要:
In a chopper circuit, output power is controllable with a direct current power source as a power source, and a smoothing capacitor is connected between output terminals of the chopper circuit. A polarity inversion circuit applies an alternating voltage to a high pressure discharge lamp with a voltage across the smoothing capacitor as a power source. The output power of the chopper circuit and an inversion frequency of the polarity inversion circuit are controlled by a control circuit based upon a terminal voltage of the smoothing capacitor, which is detected by a voltage detecting circuit. In the control circuit, a switch voltage is set for defining a range of voltages detected by the voltage detecting circuit, and the inversion frequency is changed in plural stages according to the magnitude relation between the detected voltage and the switch voltage. The inversion frequency corresponding to electric power applied to the high pressure discharge lamp is set with respect to each range of lamp voltages, to thereby inhibit occurrence of an arc jump.

According to this invention, a central portion of the meniscus opposed to the fine opening at the ejection outlet bulges, and the liquid is ejected in this state. Namely, very small amount of the liquid can be ejected, since not all of the liquid in the recess portion in the ejection outlet is ejected.
