摘要:
An automatic welding apparatus comprising a workpiece fixture carried by a moving member for rotation about a horizontal axis extending in a back and forth direction, said moving member being provided on a carriage for sliding movement in a lateral direction, said carriage being provided for sliding movement in said back and forth direction, and a torch fixture carried by an arm for rotation about a vertical axis, said arm being provided for sliding movement in the vertical direction. In another embodiment, the workpiece fixture is provided only for rotation about a horizontal axis extending in the back and forth direction, and the torch fixture is carried by the arm for rotation about the vertical axis, which arm is provided at the end of a column for sliding movement in said lateral direction, which column is provided on a sliding member for sliding movement in the vertical direction, which sliding member is provided on a guide for sliding movement in said back and forth direction. The movement of these components is controlled in an electronic manner in accordance with a preset, i.e. predetermined data. The degree of freedom of the movement of the workpiece and torch is thus divided into both workpiece and torch fixtures and as a result welding a workpiece of complicated shape is possible in a better attitude of the torch and the workpiece.

A system that directly monitors a physical condition of a driver. The system includes a portable device carried by the driver. The portable device includes a perspiration sensor, for detecting biological information serving as an index representing the physical condition of the driver, and a transmitter circuit, for generating a transmission signal including the biological information detected by the perspiration sensor. The monitoring device, which is installed in the vehicle, includes a receiver circuit for receiving the transmission signal from the portable device. A microcomputer and a display inform the driver of his or her physical condition based on the transmission signal received by the receiver circuit.

A method of disposing an antenna of a remote control device for a vehicle in which an antenna is disposed so that a direction in which efficiency of the antenna becomes a predetermined value or more and an opposing direction of a pair of conductors, among a plurality of conductors existing at a periphery of a region at which the antenna is disposed, whose opposing distance with the antenna therebetween is smallest, substantially correspond. Benefits of the antenna improve without a deterioration in vehicle appearance.

In an apparatus for driving and controlling a power window according to the present invention, a blanking period is provided to stop the comparison between a variation amount of motor current and a threshold value, during a predetermined period of time T after the drive of the motor has been started. The catching of a foreign object is detected based on the motor current value in the latter half Tm of the blanking period, and is detected based on the variation amount of the motor current after the blanking period. Erroneous operation due to noise at the beginning of the drive of the motor is prevented, and the catching of a foreign object is reliably detected.

An elastic wave element includes a piezoelectric substrate, an interdigital electrode provided on the piezoelectric substrate, a silicon oxide film covering the interdigital electrode, and a silicon nitride oxide film provided on the silicon oxide film. A film thickness H of the silicon oxide film and a wave length λ of an elastic wave propagating through the piezoelectric substrate satisfies a relation of H/λ≧0.15. The elastic wave element reduces fluctuation of propagation characteristics of elastic waves, and has high reliability.

A switch device that improves reliability in starting an engine is provided. The switch device includes a push button, a magnetic sensor, and a power supply ECU. The push button is pressed by a driver to start the engine. The magnetic sensor detects that the push button has been pressed, in a non-contact manner. The power supply ECU is connected to the magnetic sensor and supplies power to the magnetic sensor to enable the magnetic sensor to detect that the push button has been pressed.
摘要:
An artificial heart has a driving section, a nozzle section, a pump section for insertion into a ventricle of a human heart, and a sealing section forming a seal for a driving shaft extending from the driving section for driving the pump section. A sealing liquid chamber filled with a sealing liquid is formed around the driving shaft between the sealing mechanism and the driving section. The sealing liquid in the sealing liquid chamber maintains the sealing mechanism in a liquid-tight state and lubricates the sealing mechanism, whereby blood is prevented from entering the driving section. Even if blood happens to enter the driving section, the blood is mixed with the sealing liquid and does not coagulate. Thus, the operation of the artificial heart is not suppressed.
