Abstract:
A film cartridge case which holds and carries therein a group of film cartridges for feeding sheets of undeveloped film loaded in their respective film cartridges to the development unit of an automatic photographic film development processor apparatus includes a plurality of cartridge pockets. Each pocket has a mispositioning preventing projection provided on one side of an inner wall thereof for engaging with a barcode readout window in the film cartridge upon the film cartridge being placed in the cartridge pocket in a correct orientation. The case includes holding members for detachably holding the film cartridges in their respective cartridge pockets. A conveyor element is arranged to be engaged by a conveying device. Film sheets can be loaded to and unloaded from respective film cartridges installed in the cartridge pockets.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for attaching and detaching a filmstrip to a film cartridge having a take-up spool rotatably mounted therein. The cartridge has an access opening for allowing film to be inserted or removed from within. The apparatus includes means for positioning the film cartridge in a predetermined position. An attachment tool is rotatably mounted to the mechanism for movement about a pivot point. The attachment tool has a generally arcuate guide member. A mechanism is provided for moving the attachment tool from a non-engaged position to a first engaged position such that a portion of the attachment tool extends into the access opening for engaging the filmstrip to the attachment tool and for moving the tool to a second engaging position for allowing the filmstrip to engage the spool. The mechanism is further provided for moving the attachment tool in a radial direction while the attachment tool extends into the access opening.
Abstract:
A method for bleaching pulp with ozone and, more specifically, to a method for bleaching pulp without deterioration of pulp quality. The starting material is a medium consistency pulp with easy handling during transfer and dewatering, namely, pulp of a consistency of about 10% by weight to 20% by weight. During the initial stage of the ozone bleaching process, the reaction velocity is maintained higher, while during the latter stage of the bleaching process, cellulose attack is prevented. Specifically, pulp bleaching is done with ozone, while the pulp consistency during the bleaching process is lowered in a stepwise manner within the range for a medium consistency pulp. The decreasing of the pulp consistency in a stepwise manner during the bleaching process involves bleaching a pulp of a consistency within the range of about 10 to 20% by weight with ozone, subsequently dewatering the pulp and then diluting the pulp with water to provide a pulp consistency lower than the pulp consistency before dewatering, repeating the cycle composed of the dehydration, the diluting and the ozone bleaching steps one or more times, whereby the pulp consistency is lowered within the range of medium consistency in a stepwise manner.
Abstract:
A GNSS receiver includes: a first correlation peak detecting unit (1102) that detects a peak of a correlation value between a positioning signal and a C/A code replica signal; a second correlation peak detecting unit (1104) that detects a peak of the correlation value through a multipath error reduction technique; a signal intensity detecting unit (110, 112) that detects a signal intensity of the positioning signal; a switching unit (108) that inputs the positioning signal to the second correlation peak detecting unit (1104) when the signal intensity is higher than or equal to a threshold, and inputs the positioning signal to the first correlation peak detecting unit (1102) when the signal intensity is lower than the threshold; a pseudo-range calculation unit (114) that calculates a pseudo-range based on the detected correlation peak; and a positioning calculation unit (116) that calculates a location of the GNSS receiver based on the pseudo-range.
Abstract:
To reduce warping of a copper clad laminate coated with copper foils of different thicknesses on both sides, and thereby to improve production efficiency of the printed-wiring boards, there is provided a copper clad laminate coated with copper foils of different thicknesses on both sides, wherein a first copper foil on one side of the laminate is not recrystallizable by hot pressing for production of said laminate and a second foil on the other side is recrystallizable by the hot pressing and thicker than the first foil.
Abstract:
A method of gradation correction for laser scanning exposure is effected, based on measured density values of a test print (TP) including a horizontal stripe test pattern comprised of a plurality of horizontal lines extending in the main scanning direction and a vertical stripe pattern comprised of a plurality of vertical lines extending in the sub scanning direction. The includes the steps of calculating, based on the measured density values, a rising correction amount for main scanning rising correction of adding a rising correction component to one dot after rising of a modulated laser in order to reduce density difference between the horizontal line and the vertical line and calculating, based on the measured density values, a falling correction amount for main scanning falling correction of adding a falling correction component to one dot after rising of the modulated laser in order to reduce the density difference between the horizontal line and the vertical line.
Abstract:
A retainer for holding bearings within a shaft bearing has C-shaped pockets for holding the bearings. Between the pockets are connecting portions, which are close to the openings of the pockets. The rear sides of adjacent pockets and the rear side of the connecting portion for the adjacent pockets form a concave site that is deeply gouged into the retainer. The bottom of the concave site is closer to the openings than the bottom of the pockets, thereby allowing base oil from grease in the concave site to better migrate onto the bearings and so lubricate the shaft bearing.
Abstract:
Typical numeric data for specifying a shape of a first product having a typical size are stored in a storage portion. By an input portion (10), a size of a second product other than the typical size is input. A calculating portion (4) determines recommended numeric data for specifying a shape of the second product based on the size of the second product and the typical numeric data. By the input portion (10), furthermore, corrected numeric data for the recommended numeric data are input. The calculating portion (4) decides the validity of the corrected numeric data. In the case in which the corrected numeric data have the validity, the calculating portion (4) determines final numeric data for specifying the shape of the second product based on the recommended numeric data and the corrected numeric data. Based on the final numeric data, the shape of the second product is drawn by CAD software.
Abstract:
First of all, size data (MD), (BD), (BH) and (MW) of a tire are input. Next, a ratio (b/a) of a major axis radius (b) to a minor axis radius (a) of an ellipse (18) is input. Then, constants (S), (a) and (b) of an involute function are calculated. Based on the involute function having these constants, a profile function (22) from a central position in a lateral direction to a maximum width position is determined over an X-Y plane. Subsequently, the profile curve (22) is divided into a large number of segments. Next, each of the segments is caused to approximate to a circular arc. In the approximation, a radius of curvature is determined in such a manner that the adjacent circular arcs are tangent to each other. Thus, a profile is designed.
