A main unit, a lamp chamber, a graphite furnace analyzing section, a flame analyzing section, and a flame gas controller are sequentially placed from right to left. An autosampler is placed on the top of the lamp chamber. A housing section for a transformer and a power supply unit is provided behind the lamp chamber, the graphite furnace analyzing section, the flame analyzing section, and the flame gas controller. The housing section is used as a space for a power unit used for the whole atomic ...

A screw capper 1 includes a capping head 6 which grips a cap 5, a servo motor 7 which rotates the capping head, a voltmeter 10 which measures the torque of the capping head, an encoder 11 which detects the rotational angle of the capping head, and a control device 8 which controls the servo motor. In the screw capper, whether rotational fastening is acceptable is to be determined during the rotational fastening, the measured value of the encoder is measured from a predetermined measurement start...

Redundant circuits 11 to 15 are provided in correspondence to memory blocks 1 to 5, respectively. Bit lines BL0 to BL15 are located across the memory blocks. Spare bit lines SBL1 and SBL2 are located across the redundant circuits 11 to 15. When a memory cell failure occurs in the memory block 5 except a predetermined memory block (for example, a boot block) 2 and when the bit line BL8 corresponding to the memory cell failure is replaced with the spare bit line SBL1, each of switches 56 and 76 is...

A microcomputer with a built-in flash memory is obtained in which the flash memory can be properly rewritten with a rewrite program kept placed on the flash memory and without requiring additional complicated control circuitry. On accepting an erase/write command which constitutes a rewrite command, a flash memory module (2) outputs to a flash memory control circuit (3) a ready status signal RYIBY indicative of a busy state during execution of the series of processing. When the ready status sign...

A multi-terminal surge protection device able to absorb surges of either polarity between lines and between a line and ground, in which the difference in operating time between the device elements connected to lines is reduced. A plurality of unipolar surge protection device elements are used which only operate to absorb surges of a specific polarity, and do not exhibit a reverse withstand characteristic upon application of a reverse-polarity voltage. One element is connected to a first line and...

According to a method of adjusting a head gap, a wire dot head is set to a predetermined position of a reference head gap; a printing pattern for detecting printing time is printed by a plurality of pins; reference printing times of respective pins are detected. Next, a test printing is performed with test printing dots previously selected from printing data, and printing time of the test printing is detected. Then, the thickness of the printing media is calculated based on the reference printin...

A hydroxamic acid compound represented by the general formula (I) or a salt thereof; ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, or a substituted or unsubstituted alkanoyl group, R.sup.2 represents an unsubstituted alkanoyl, substituted lower alkanoyl or substituted lower alkyl group, and m represents an integer of 3 to 7, which are useful for the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by lipoxygenase-mediated metablites.
