Disclosed herein is an improved combination of a hollow member and a backing member to be inserted therein. Another member such as a hinge is secured to the hollow member by machine screws which extend through the hinge and the wall of the hollow member and are tightened in threaded holes in the backing member. The hollow member is provided with an inwardly extending pawl and the backing member is adapted to be placed in a desired position in the hollow member by engagement with the pawl. When a...

A coil fitting system including a pressing member for fitting in slots of an iron core of an electric rotary machine in one operation step a plurality of coils arranged in such a manner that a portion of one coil end portion overlaps a portion of another coil end portion. The pressing member which is formed at its peripheral edge portion with a plurality of grooves includes a first pressing surface and a second pressing surface. A portion of the pressing member constituting the first pressing su...

An armature winding assembled in an armature core is formed by concentrically continuously winding a plurality of coils having respectively different coil pitches. The starting-end and terminating-end terminal conductors of the plural concentrically continuously wound coils are led out along the opposite coil sides respectively of the coil having the longest coil pitch among the plural coils.

The object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive biodegradable molding material which allows easy adjustment of the biodegradability of the material as a molding material, which undergoes 100% degradation within a fixed period following use in molded articles without requiring any excessively long time for degradation, which has a high heat resistance, and therefore, can be used to mold disposable food containers or foodstuff packaging trays which are steam-sterilizable, as well ...

In an ultrasonic imaging apparatus, the pulser applies drive pulses to the transducer element. Depending upon the transducer characteristics and the scanning mode of the ultrasonic beams, the pulser is required to apply proper drive voltage to a given transducer element. The voltage selector switch is provided to select the desirable drive voltage from the power source. Further, the transistor is provided to adjust the selected drive voltage so as to obtain the most preferable drive voltage for ...

A collimator lens converts light beams emitted from a low reflectance facet of a semiconductor laser into parallel light beams. A diffraction grating receives and diffracts the light beams at a predetermined incident position and a predetermined angle of a diffraction face. A turnable mirror has a mirror surface which is positioned opposite the diffractance facet of the diffraction grating, makes the diffracted light beams incident in a reverse optical path to the diffraction face, and returns t...

This invention provides a buffer circuit for a semiconductor integrated circuit having a power source voltage, an input node receiving for an input current from the integrated circuit, and an output node for outputting an output current responsive to the input current. The circuit comprises a load transistor circuit having first and second states, for increasing the input current of the buffer circuit from a first predetermined voltage when the load transistor circuit is in one of the first and ...

In the magnetic disc device having a Hall element to detect the index position of a magnetic disc as a magnet on the rotary shaft of an electric motor comes across the Hall element, a circuit for amplifying the output of the Hall element is fabricated in a common unit of a drive circuit for the motor.

An active layer is sandwiched between a first gate electrode and a second gate electrode, and an offset region is disposed in overlying and underlying relation to a third gate electrode and a fourth gate electrode, respectively, resulting in a double-gate structure that is effective to produce a large ON current and a low leakage current. Storage capacitances for suppressing a reduction in a pixel potential are formed between a transparent pixel electrode and a third storage capacitance electrod...

A photoelectric converting apparatus having a plurality of photosensors and a plurality of transistors of the insulative gate type which select the signals from the photosensors and output to a signal line. Source or drain regions which are connected to the signal line are formed as a common region in a desired number of transistors, thereby reducing the wiring capacitance of the signal line.
