Abstract: A refrigerator, especially a multi-temperature refrigerator, has a cold-producing machine (refrigerating machine) and a thermally insulated casing in which there is arranged an evaporator system which is internally connected by means of refrigerant lines (piping) and whose evaporators which form the system are individually arranged in mutually thermally separated compartments of which the temperature can be influenced by a controller arrangement which controls the refrigerant feed to the respective evaporators via a valve unit. The need to supply refrigerant is signalled to the controller arrangement via temperature sensors in the compartments. In the refrigerator, at least three compartments are provided together with their assigned evaporators and with valve units connected upstream of the latter in order to control them. In case of need, it is only the compartment with the highest refrigerating capacity to which liquid refrigerant can be applied, whereas in case of need refrigerant can respectively be applied to each of the other compartments in series connection situated upstream of the compartment with the highest refrigerating capacity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A device for the creating and displaying an object image. A plurality of object images is created on the basis of a combination of part patterns on the respective parts of an object. A different object image related to the respective object images is synthesized from the plurality of created object images and displayed. An object image is created and displayed automatically which has a different shape imagined when the weight, height and intake calory of the created object image is increased/decreased. When a front object image is created, parts patterns for an object image on a different view corresponding to the front object image are designated and combined to create an object image on a different view.

Abstract: In one aspect the invention provides a valve module (33) for a process analyzer. The module includes a first block valve (33b) having a first opening, a second block valve (33c) having a second opening and a bleed valve (33d) having a third opening. The first and second block valves are made so that both are closed or both open at the same time. The block valves and the bleed valve are made so that, in a first mode, the block valves are closed and the bleed valve is open; in a second mode, the block valves are open and the bleed valve is closed; and in a third mode, all of the valves are open, thereby ensuring that the module is completely purged. In a second aspect the invention provides a stream-selection valve manifold. The manifold (2a) is made by joining two or more valve modules (33) side by side to form a common outlet passageway (18) and a common vent passageway (17), thereby ensuring that the manifold is completely purged. In a third aspect the invention provides a single block-and-bleed valve module (79). The module includes a block valve, a sample-fluid compartment (52), a vent compartment (53), an internal pneumatic actuator (63), an actuator compartment (64), a sample-inlet first passageway (54), a sample-outlet second passageway (55), a third passageway (65) for introducing a compressed gas into the actuator compartment, a fluid-disposal fourth passageway (76), a spring (62) for closing the block valve, a compressed gas for opening the valve, and a body (51) for containing the modular components. The fluid-disposal passageway (76) provides fluid communication between the vent compartment (53) and an external area suitable for the safe disposal of sample fluids and compressed gas contained in the valve module. The pressure within the vent compartment and the disposal passageway is normally kept equal to or lower than that of the sample-inlet passageway, sample-outlet passageway, and actuator compartment, in order to prevent fugitive emission of the sample fluid or the compressed gas from the module into the external environment. The flat-face sealing structure (71) of each valve is very tolerant of scratching and/or irregularities in the sealing structure and of abrasive particulates which may be present in the sample fluid, and even of minor structural damage to the sealing structure.

Abstract: A plurality of heat transfer tubes (1) are disposed at certain intervals, in-tube operating fluid (such as coolant) passes therethrough, and a plurality of small-gage wires are used as a heating fin (2). One small-gage wire (2a) is wound at a pair of heat transfer tubes (1a and 1c) in a spiral manner, and another small-gage wire (2b) is wound at a pair of heat transfer tubes (1b and 1c) in the spiral manner, and still another small-gage wire (2c) is wound at a pair of heat transfer tubes (1b and 1d) in the spiral manner. Thereby, while higher cheat transfer coefficient can be achieved, and a heating surface area is ensured, clogging can be avoided even when moisture in air condenses on a surface of a heat exchanger. As a result, it is possible to realize a high-performance and compact heat exchanger used for air conditioning.

Abstract: This invention provides a mobile communication system in which a call-incoming side can switch a communication line to an appropriate one which corresponds to a communication type requested by a transmitter's terminal. One example of its construction is as follows. 
     A mobile station has a plurality of terminal units corresponding to plural types of communication and a call number is preliminarily assigned to each of them. A terminal unit in a telephone network uses a call number corresponding to a desired communication type when a datum is transmitted to the mobile station. The mobile station informs this call number to all of the terminal units which are connected to the mobile station. The respective terminal units inform the communication type to the mobile station only when the communication type corresponding to the call number can be handled. The mobile station informs this communication type contained in a reception call receiving signal to a mobile communication exchange. The mobile communication exchange selects a modulated/demodulator corresponding to this communication type.

Abstract: An excitation light beam intensity-modulated and output from a light-sending unit is irradiated on a target measurement object. A scattered light beam or a reaction light beam is detected by a light-receiving unit through a wavelength selector. The light-receiving unit outputs a signal according to the product of a supplied modulation signal and the received light beam. A processing unit acquires data corresponding to the product value for each type of light, and calculates the decay characteristics of the reaction light beam on the basis of the acquisition result. In this manner, with a simple arrangement, the decay time of a fluorescence sample or the like is precisely measured in a wide frequency range.
