Abstract:
The weight of aggregate for preparing concrete and mortar is measured while the aggregate is immersed in water contained in a container. The water in the container is discharged and the water in the interstice in the aggregate is also removed. Thereafter the weight of the aggregate is measured again. These measured values of the aggregate are used to determine the quantity of water to be added to the aggregate when it is used to prepare concrete or mortar.
Abstract:
Provided is a fluid dynamic bearing device (1) including a rotary body (2A), a bearing member (22) (sleeve portion) made of a sintered metal arranged on the rotary body (2A), having end surfaces (22b, 22c), a thrust bearing gap formed by a lower end surface (22c) of the bearing member (22), filled with lubricating oil (11), and a thrust dynamic pressure generating portion (B). A dynamic pressure generating action is caused in the lubricating oil in the thrust bearing gap along with rotation of the rotary body (2A) to support the rotary body (2A) in one thrust direction in a non-contact manner. The bearing member (22) has an oil permeability of 4% or more with respect to a mass flow rate of the lubricating oil (11) flowing along the thrust dynamic pressure generating portion (B) during the rotation of the rotary body (2A).
Abstract:
An imager is provided having an image-capturing device, a voice detector, a voice recognition device and a composer. The image-capturing device captures a subject image and outputs an image. The voice detector detects ambient sound. The voice recognition device converts the ambient sound to characters. The composer composes the characters into the image.
Abstract:
A safety valve device has a safety valve body and is configured to open at a temperature of or over a preset reference temperature. The safety valve device also includes a gas flow path arranged to make a flow of hydrogen flowing out of a hydrogen tank via the safety valve body in a valve open position, and a discharge pipe configured to have a hydrogen discharge opening and arranged to discharge the hydrogen flowing through the gas flow path to the outside. The hydrogen discharge opening of the discharge pipe is formed to discharge the hydrogen in an oblique direction relative to a direction of an axial center of the gas flow path. The discharge pipe also has a groove formed to apply an input rotational force to the discharge pipe and thereby rotate the discharge pipe around the axial center of the gas flow path.
Abstract:
The present invention effectively utilizes auxiliary registers and provides a compiler system which secures error detectability when the auxiliary registers are shared for plural uses. The instruction definition resource configuring unit configures, as preparation for processing by the register assigning unit, respective resources such as a register to be defined or referred to by for each instruction in an intermediate code. The instruction definition resource configuring unit detects possibility of instructions each of which is to be decomposed into plural instructions. As for an instruction to be possibly decomposed, the instruction definition resource configuring unit configures a corresponding register in the intermediate code, assuming the corresponding register used for the decomposition to be defined and referred. The register assigning unit uses the register as a general register as far as a live range of the register used for the decomposition does not overlap.
Abstract:
Providing a fluid dynamic bearing device, wherein the outer member comprises a member formed by a pressing process on a plate member, the radial bearing surface and at least the one of the thrust bearing surfaces of the outer member being formed by the pressing process, and wherein at least a part of the inner member, which forms the radial bearing surface and the thrust bearing surfaces of the inner member, is made of a sintered metal.
Abstract:
When a self-cleaning method for an aligner is carried out, a reflecting plate having a convex lens portion is set in an original plate holder, and exposure light rays are irradiated from a light source. The surface of the lens portion is coated with a reflective film. The light rays are reflected by the reflecting plate, diffused, and emitted onto the surface of a condenser lens, thereby breaking down and removing contaminants that are adhered to the surface of the condenser lens. The light rays also enter the interior of the condenser lens to clean away contaminants that are adhered to locations other than a normal exposure path. When a concave mirror and/or a reflecting plate having 50% transmittance is used as the reflecting plate, the emission range of the light rays (i.e., the locations that are cleaned) can be changed.
Abstract:
A monitor control apparatus is provided in an optical device, such as a digital camera. A brightness control processor controls a brightness of a monitor of the optical device. A detecting processor detects an amount of change of an image sensed by an imaging sensor mounted in the optical device. The brightness control processor has an economy mode, in which the brightness is decreased when the amount of change is greater than a threshold value.
Abstract:
A connecting cable with a built-in FM tuner and transmitter for connecting a portable entertainment device with an external entertainment system for wireless playback from the device to the system over preset frequencies, and which the user can operate without needing to look at the apparatus in order to select a different FM frequency for playback operation if the need arises.
Abstract:
A battery charger having an integral cable management means is adapted to receive power from a vehicle electrical system and provide power to a portable personal electronic device, for recharging the portable personal electronic device battery while allowing the audio and/or video output of the device to simultaneously be provided for listening or viewing by the user.
