A photo-sensitive printing plate automatic processing apparatus for holding a photo-sensitive printing plate upon which an image has been exposed, between pairs of conveyor rollers and processing it by processing liquids while conveying it along a conveyor path, has pipe members having spray outlets for spraying processing liquid, supported at both their ends on both sides of the conveyor rollers. One of the ends of each of these pipe members is provided with a spring to predispose the pipe memb...

A slip, a method of automatic reading of the slip, and an apparatus used therefor comprising a slip with delineated thereon a control mark made up of line segments of different lengths sequentially arranged in a line for representing a kind of format, information marks spaced apart from the control mark, each thereof being made up of line segments of different sizes arranged sequentially in a line, for representing task data, and information marks spaced apart from the information marks represen...

Method for creating programs and processing data by having data in the form of data cards readily moved in and out of, and exchanged between, a command module, automatic editing display generator, printer generator and database. Programs may be written by simply selecting necessary commands in a small number of characters. The commands may be selected illustratively through kana-kanji conversion input. There is no need to type long sentences in alphabetic characters or in symbols. On arrival at ...

Disclosed is a method for creating easily and quickly a program that allows new slips to be read by an automatic reading apparatus. A new slip is first input to the automatic reading apparatus. The reading apparatus reads from the slip its reference symbol and its information patterns indicating areas in which to write alphanumeric characters. The reference symbol is interpreted and assigned a numeric code that places the slip in an appropriate category. From each slip, the coordinates of a plur...

Cylinder stoppers and tower receiving blocks are automatically or self-operatively engaged or disengaged in the inventive pile drivers through cylinder operation so as to press a pile and to drop the monkey to apply its impact force to a pile provided that the pressing is inappropriate, and in some cases, this force is combined with a rotary excavating force of an earth auger to expedite quick and sure pile driving operation, e.g. of a precast pile.

A part of oil sucked by an oil pump is circulated to an oil pan through a hydraulic control circuit, an oil cooler and an oil passage provided in a transmission case and the oil pan. The oil guided to the oil pan is gushed out from a discharge port of the oil passage toward a suction port of an oil strainer communicating with the oil pump. The discharge port of the oil passage is disposed opposite and adjacent to the suction port of the oil strainer so that only the oil containing a small number...

A check valve is installed in a hydraulic line for hydraulic oil to be fed to a forward movement hydraulic clutch, while an accumulator for accumulating some amount of the hydraulic oil fed to the hydraulic clutch is installed between the check valve and the hydraulic clutch. Further installed is a control spool that is operated by the hydraulic oil fed to the forward movement hydraulic clutch and that cooperates with the check valve to hold the hydraulic oil accumulated in the accumulator. Acco...

An image forming apparatus, applicable to copying machines, facsimile apparatuses and printers, controls pixel positions with high precision. An image of color material is formed on the surface of an image holding drum. The surface of the image holding drum divides into a number of pixel areas, and each pixel area has an adhesive-force change portion smaller than the pixel area, where adhesive force to color material changes by a predetermined stimulus. An image-signal input unit forms an image ...

A deaerator for particulates capable of increasing the bulk density of the particles to reduce the volume of the particulates. In the deaerator, a perforated cylindrical section (1a) of a cylindrical body (1) includes a filter (13) formed of a sintered material. A screw conveyor (4) arranged in the cylindrical body has a screw pitch (4a, 4b) which is small and which gradually reduces the region on the downstream side of the perforated cylindrical section. The filter may be formed by sintering a ...

L-lysine is produced by fermentation of a mutant strain of the genus Protaminobacter, capable of utilizing methanol and having a resistance to S-2-aminoethyl-L-cysteine and L-threonine. The mutant strain is cultured in a medium containing methanol as a main carbon source. L-lysine is accumulated in the culture medium and isolated therefrom.
