In a multi-module system, information required for linked operation of a plurality of modules is stored in a communication manager as profiles written in a specific format. The modules operate by referring to these profiles, and update the profiles as appropriate. The modules thereafter operate based on the updated profiles, and appropriately updates the profiles. The communication manager thus enables the linked operation among the modules based on continuously updated profiles.

In sintering a metal powder after pressure molding into a given configuration, random amorphous flaky metal fine powders (10) are used as metal powder materials. In addition, spherical particulate metal powders 11 are used as main materials, and random amorphous flaky metal fine powders 10 having finer particle size than the metal powders 11 and produced by fracturing a metal fracture material by means of high-velocity gas swirling flow are used as sub-materials, and molding and sintering are performed in a state of dispersing the sub-materials (10) in the main materials (11). Thus, despite being a power metallurgical product, it is possible to obtain a metal product having a dense metallographic structure and excellent in properties such as mechanical strength.

An identification label is affixed on a top surface of an image forming unit which is detachably installed in a main component of an image forming apparatus. The identification label is made of a thermosensitive paper on which a trademark logo is printed. A logo reader in the main component reads a pattern of the logo mark on the identification label. A control unit compares the read logo pattern with a previously stored pattern to discriminate whether the read logo mark is genuine or not. If the identification label has the genuine logo mark, the control unit executes printing. If the identification label has an irregular logo mark, printing is abandoned and an error message is displayed. When a genuine image forming unit is exhausted, the control unit controls a heating device to apply heat to the identification label in order to wholly or partially discolor the identification label so that the logo mark is transformed to unreadable one. That unit will be regarded as an irregular one thereafter. For authorized activity for reusing such treated unit, a newly prepared genuine label is affixed to the once exhausted image forming unit after refilling toner or replacing a photoconductor drum is done.

A printing tape cassette contains a printing medium tape wound around a reel and held so that its coloring layers appear outside. The coloring layers are colored in different colors at corresponding temperatures and fixed by fixing rays of different wavelengths. The cassette is a substantially square box made of a ray cutting material. The cassette is set on a printer and has a slit-like port through which the printing tape is fed out, a window which cuts the fixing rays and through which window the printing tape accommodated in the cassette is confirmable visually. The printer comprises a reel drive shaft, a platen roller, a guide plate, a tape sensor, a thermal head, a ray cutting shutter, a fixing ray irradiator and a cutter.

An image forming apparatus includes a paper stacking section for stacking a plurality of paper sheets cut to a given size. In the image forming apparatus, a paper supplying section supplies the paper sheets one by one, an image forming section forms an image which corresponds to received image information on the paper sheet supplied from the paper supplying section, a discharging paper stacking section stacks a paper sheet discharged out of the apparatus after the image is formed on the paper sheet by the image forming section, and a marking section is provided separate from the image forming section and adapted to continuously apply an "absence of paper" warning mark to the paper sheet remaining in the paper stacking section during a given period of time from a time at which a residual amount of paper sheets on the paper stacking section is lowered below a given level during the supply of paper sheets by the paper supplying section to a given time preceding a time at which the residual amount of paper sheets is all used up to cause the image forming opeation to be stopped. By so doing, the user of the apparatus is informed of a reduced residual amount of paper sheets over the given period of time.

In a travel guidance system for vehicles, a map data storage medium preliminarily stores administrative division name data and/or landmark data, and a control unit has the function of retrieving the name of an administrative division to which the present position of a vehicle belongs and/or a landmark in the vicinity of the present position in accordance with present position data and displaying the retrieved administrative division name and/or the retrieved landmark on a display.

A copying machine equipped with a flash type fixing apparatus includes at least two light shielding shutters adapted to prevent a light resulting from flashing of the flash type fixing apparatus from reaching a photosensitive layer through a conveying path between the photosensitive layer and the flash type fixing apparatus.
摘要:
A jet mill in which crushed material introduced into a crushing chamber is comminuted by gas being sprayed from a plurality of gas-jet nozzles, wherein high-efficiency pulverization is performed by optimizing various pulverization conditions according to the type of crushed material or other such properties. The direction in which gas is sprayed into the crushing chamber is variable adjustable; the spraying direction of each nozzle is displaced simultaneously by the electromotive actuator; swirl flow is produced in three dimensions, including the flow of a directional component that is perpendicular to the horizontal swirl flow; and a fine-powder discharge port of a first pulverization chamber and a fine powder introduction port of a second pulverization chamber are communicatingly connected by a ventilation duct.
摘要:
An oil-water mixed composition is consisted of a solid or semisolid oil phase at room temperature, and a water phase which is dispersed into the oil phase. The water phase contains a humectant and is solid or semisolid at room temperature. Preferably, the oil phase contains hydrophobic silica, dextrin fatty acid ester or polyvalent alcohol oligo ester of long chain monocarboxylic acid and long chain dicarboxylic acid. The oil-water mixed composition is superior in stability with passage of time and safety. In addition, this composition has demonstrated little stickiness and sensation of unsuitability for skin, and has much emollient effect (i.e., to prevent the skin from dryness) and is persistent in preserving its emollient effect.

A cholesterol ester clathrate comprising a cholesterol ester included within a hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrin; a hydrous composition comprising a hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrin, a cholesterol ester and water; a hydrous composition comprising a hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrin, a cholesterol ester, a hydrous stabilizer, and water; a hydrous composition comprising a hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrin, a cholesterol ester, a clay mineral, and water; a cosmetic containing a hydrous composition; and processes for making the cholesterol ester clathrate and various hydrous compositions. The cholesterol ester clathrate exhibits an emulsifying effect and the hydrous compositions are excellent in water-holding capacity, hydration properties, and separation stability at a high temperature.
