A stiffener system includes a stiffener and a fastener means. The stiffener includes an extruded body that includes a plurality of projections. The stiffener couples to the apparatus to facilitate increasing a structural integrity of the apparatus. The fastener means secures the stiffener to the apparatus.

An apparatus for displacing two displaceable members, including a first member, a second member which is supported by the first member such that the second member is displaceable relative to the first member, a third member which is supported by the second member such that the third member is displaceable relative to the second member, a first and a second drive source which have respective output members and each of which is not movable relative to the first member, a mechanically motion-transm...

A printing apparatus includes: a paper roll containing part containing a paper roll; a printer unit provided side by side with the paper roll containing part, the printer unit printing information on paper pulled from the paper roll and cutting a piece off the pulled paper on which piece the information is printed; and a presenter unit. The presenter unit includes a reception opening formed on an upper side thereof and receiving the cut piece of paper delivered from the printer unit, first and s...

For achieving a recording apparatus and a reproducing apparatus enabling to function an interface of digital signals even when recording and reproducing analog signals, wherein the analog signal reproduced in an analog signal recording/reproducing circuit is converted into the digital signal in an encoder so as to be outputted from an interface circuit when reproducing the analog signal, while the digital signal inputted from the interface circuit is converted in a decoder into the analog signal...

An exposure apparatus, wherein light emitted from a relatively low output light source is selectively transmitted by a light path switching controller and mirrors to exposure units, amplifiers are provided near the exposure units, and the light from the light source is amplified there and then sent to the corresponding exposure units.

A printer includes a communication unit which receives a plurality of pictures to be printed, in which pictures video on a TV are captured, a command receiving unit which receives a user input of a print setting for specifying a sectioning method of a print sheet, an outputting unit which prints the received pictures on the print sheet according to the print setting, and a control unit which controls the outputting unit to stand by for the pictures until they are received by the number correspon...

A loader section for supplying semiconductor wafers is arranged at one end of a linear first convey path for a convey unit. Burn-in test sections, probe test sections, a laser repair section, a deposition repair section, a marking section, a baking section, and visual test sections are arranged on both the sides of the first convey path. In the burn-in test section arranged in the loader section, each semiconductor wafer picked up from a cassette is pre-aligned. The pre-aligned semiconductor waf...

The invention provides a low cost apparatus assembly of an electrotechnical apparatus. The housing walls consist of plate-shaped elements. The dimensions and weight of the plate-shaped elements are considerably reduced as compared to the existing elements. The assembly has a housing wall with plate-shaped elements. At least part of the plate-shaped elements are synthetic plastic plates, which are metal-coated over a continuous surface area on one side. The metal-coated surfaces are interconnecte...
