Filed: 2000-03-16
Abstract: The internal bearing assemblies are positioned
in bearing rails (29) which are provided in portions of a
transmission bracket (27) and include inner bearing members (36)
and outer bearing shell members. Force applied to the
internal bearing members (36) causes them to slide up inclined
surfaces (58) of the bearing rails (29). The inner bearing members (36)
press against the outer bearing shell members which in
turn press against the inner surface of the rodless slide
bore (22). As a result, a radially inward force is applied to
the transmission bracket (27). This radially inward force is
transmitted to a saddle (39) and external bearing assembly (40).
The internal bearing assemblies thus hold the saddle (39)
against the outer surface (31) of the rodless slide.

Filed: 2000-11-02
Abstract: A device for engaging or disengaging an end fitting of a control cable
to or from a lever in a drum brake or the like is arranged to be shorter but to have
a large lever ratio for the lever. A shoe is engaged with one end of a strut, and
the lever is pivotally journalled to the other end of the strut while another shoe is
engaged with the lever at a portion near to the journalled part. The strut has two
opposed side walls and a bridge part therebetween for restraining the lever at a
specified position. The lever is composed of a pair of planer members which
are joined together at the proximal end, and are spaced apart from each other at
the free end to form a narrow gap and at the longitudinally middle portion to
form a wide gap. The narrow gap allows a cable itself of the cable to pass
therethrough but to inhibit from passing therethrough and the wide gap allows a
longer side of the end fitting to pass therethrough. The planar members are
formed with protrusions defining a gap therebetween a size of which is smaller
than the length of the longer side of the end fitting. Upon engaging the end
fitting, it is inserted through the wide gap to abut against the protrusions, and
then, shifted toward the free end of the lever to be engaged with the free end of
the lever.

mounting heads (7) pick up electronic components (24) from a
plurality of component feeding units (3) for mounting the
electronic components on a print circuit board, with assured

variation along the direction of feeding, the Y direction, is
corrected by moving the position of the nozzle (21) along the
Y direction preferably with a controlled rotation of the
mounting head (7) around an horizontal axis using the nozzle
selection motor (22) for selecting the nozzle (21).

Abstract: A process controlling unit included in a multifunction-device controller sends an
acquired ID number and a request for identifying the user corresponding to the ID number,
to a controller server (S12). The controller server searches a user management file for
user information corresponding to the ID number (S21). The controller server sends, to
the multifunction-device controller, information representing that user verification is
successfully made when user information is acquired(S24). Upon reception of such
information, the process controlling unit permits the verified user to operate a copier
making copies of documents (S14). Upon completion of the copying operation, the
process controlling unit acquires information representing the number of copies made by
the user (S16). Then, the process controlling unit creates usage information of the
copier, and sends the created usage information to the controller server (S17). The
controller server stores the received usage information into a usage-information
management file (S25).

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for controlling processors in such a
multiple processor computer system using a serial chain configuration. A serial
interconnection bus is daisy-chained among all of the processors in a multiple processor
environment to transfer data from a master processor to one or more slave processors in
the serial chain. The master processor has an associated non-volatile memory and
volatile memory, and the slave processors contain only volatile memory. The programs
and data required by each processor are transferred from the non-volatile memory of the
master processor into specified areas of the volatile memories of the daisy-chained slave
processors using subsequent serial transfers, following a system start-up or reset.
Instructions are provided for addressing and controlling the execution of the slave
processors. The protocol for transferring program or data includes a transfer count
(shift counter) to reduce the overhead associated with the transfer.
