A green cores collecting apparatus attachable to the rear portion of a corer vehicle comprising a housing provided with a upper laterally extending rotary shaft, a lower laterally extending rotary shaft arranged in parallel with the upper rotary shaft and a rotary elevator located between the upper and lower rotary shaft, the housing being backwardly tilted, and being further provided with a dirt ejecting aperture at its upper rear portion and a soil receiving aperture at its lower front portion...

A pet refuse collecting system for more easily collecting pet refuse. The pet refuse collecting system includes a housing for collecting and storing the pet refuse. An end of the housing includes an opening extending into an interior of the housing. An end of a handle is mounted on the housing for transporting the housing. A gathering assembly is provided for facilitating movement of pet refuse into the interior of the housing.

A device for collecting sounds from objects comprises a plurality of microphones whose directivity can be varied depending on the environment in which each object is located. An optical microphone includes a vibration board (2) which vibrates by sound pressure, a light source (3) for emitting a light beam to the vibration board (2), a photodetector (5) which receives the light beam reflected from the vibration board (2) and produces a signal corresponding to the vibration of the vibration board ...

A data collection system especially for in-hospital medical data collection combines the advantages of manual and computerized data recording. A portable data terminal unit is carried in a specially constructed carrying case which also holds patient related data in bar code form. A bar code reader connected with the data terminal unit by a cord may be scanned over the bar codes to input data more quickly and easily than when key pad entry of the data is required. Printed documents can also be ca...

A dust collecting apparatus and method for dedusting a Ca-containing gas using a ceramics filter is provided, in which a filter differential pressure elevation rate is suppressed. A desulferizing agent 103 and a mineral 106 containing MgO are supplied via a hopper 13, 15 a valve 14 and a feeder 16 into a pressurized fluidized-bed combustion furnace 1 together with coal 101 and air 102. A combustion gas 201 is dedusted by a cyclone 2 to become a combustion gas 301, the combustion gas 301 enters a...

An information collecting system includes a central management computer for collecting and managing information and information collection target machines from which information is to be collected and has a PHS terminal apparatus. Some of the target machines are master units to which outside line telephone numbers and extension telephone numbers are assigned. Each master unit can perform outside line radio communication with the PHS base station and extension radio communication with other targe...

A method and apparatus for collecting defect includes forming a defect collecting structure on a wafer such that any residue defects tend to settle on the defect collecting structure instead of the circuit patterns. The defect collecting structure can be located within the die or on the scribelines between the dies. When the defect collecting structure is located in a die, it should have dimensions significantly larger than the dimensions of the surrounding circuits patterns. The defect collecti...

A method for collecting blood or fluids in general from a placenta or organ or body tissue through the cut end portion of the umbilical cord or of one or more vascularization vessels or outflow vessels of an organ or tissue, including the steps of connecting the cord, or vessel, to a collection apparatus and then applying pressure to the placenta, or organ or tissue.

A oil collecting and draining device for easy transportation and depositing of oil drained from a vehicle. The oil collecting and draining device includes a housing having a top wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The top wall is generally divided into a first portion positioned adjacent to the back wall and a second portion positioned adjacent to the front wall. The top wall is collapsed toward the bottom wall and has a lowest point located...

An azimuth sensor unit 15 and an altitude sensor unit 16 have pairs of optical sensors 18 and 20, respectively, disposed along their respective directions, which pair of optical sensors are disposed toward the sun in the form of a tapered section narrower to the front end and broader to the rear end with their light-receiving surfaces outward, and the azimuth sensor unit and the altitude sensor unit themselves rotate so as to balance light-receiving amounts of their respective pairs of optical s...
