Abstract: A 5-direction key operating device is provided in which
the structure of diaphragm contacts disposed on a printed circuit
board is improved to allow five diaphragms to be disposed in a
minimum space, and a single button key is enabled to operate the
five diaphragms. Moreover, a 5-direction key operating device
is provided in which an operation space can be reduced, and desired
one of information displayed on a display section can be selected
and determined by a smooth key operation without causing an
erroneous operation. 
     In each of diaphragm contacts on which diaphragms (4) that
are arranged in the shape of a cross in correspondence with
5-direction keys are to be placed, a circular contact (1) which
is a first contact, and strip-like contact portions (3a to 3d)
which are elongated in a fan-like shape with respect to the center
of the first contact (1) are disposed in a second contact (2) and
in the side opposite to the side of the first contact (1).
According to this configuration and arrangement, the space for
disposing the diaphragm contacts can be reduced, and the whole
device can be miniaturized and lightened. Five diaphragms are
shown on the printed circuit board, and five pusher portions are
disposed on a core face opposed to the diaphragms and on a key
base. The height of the upper, lower, right, and left pusher
portions is set to be different from that of the center pusher
portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces (e.g., of hospital floors, medical baths, etc.). The aim of the invention is to develop known cleaning systems and methods of this type used for cleaning surfaces mechanically in such a way as to achieve sufficiently effective and reliable disinfecting without the use of chemical active agents. According to the inventive method, steam is guided out of the output evaporator cell (20) and onto the surface (4) to be disinfected via a tuyere (3), with a laminar flow. Once condensation is complete, the steam is drawn off into a collector vessel (11) and transferred into the tuyere through a heated tube (15), via a tapered feeding section (21), in order to form a closed steam circuit in the disinfecting head (1). The invention also relates to a cleaning device (24) for carrying out this method. Said cleaning device contains rotating brushes (5) and the usual cleaning elements in the front area, while the disinfecting head (1) with the tuyere (3), the output evaporator cell (20), the collector vessel (11) and the suction device (9) are provided in the back part. One or more disinfecting heads (1) can support one or more tuyeres (3) and can be used with different construction types.

Abstract: A turbo blood pump includes a housing 1 having a pump chamber 2,
an inlet port 3, and an outlet port 4, an impeller 5 disposed rotatably in the
pump chamber, an upper bearing 9 and a lower bearing 10 supporting the
impeller rotatably, and a driving force transmitting unit for driving the
impeller to rotate. The upper bearing is supported at a position in the
pump chamber below the inlet port, so that a cross-sectional area of the
pump chamber in a plane including an upper end of the upper bearing and
being orthogonal to a shaft of the impeller is larger than a cross-sectional
area of a flow path of the inlet port at a portion where the inlet port is
coupled to the pump chamber, and thus obstruction with respect to blood
flow by the upper bearing is of such a degree as to be permissible from a
practical viewpoint, while an impeller is supported by upper and lower
bearings. Thereby, the pump is less likely to cause problems of blood
stagnation and thrombus formation.

sequence by performing adaptive array antenna processing
using a signal received by an antenna element for each
sequence on a branch-by-branch basis, and generates a
combined signal that combines signals resulting from
multiplying a signal transmitted by an antenna element
for each above-mentioned sequence by a sequence-specific
weight, and a diversity combining section that generates

Abstract: The thermal spraying torch 100 is capable of successively
supplying a thermal spray material 80 heated and fused by a plasma
forming gas in an arc generated between electrodes contained in an
outer cylinder 10, or by a combustion gas supplied passing through the
outer cylinder 10 and burned under high temperature conditions. The
torch can spray the thermal spray material 80 via a nozzle 40 by the
plasma forming gas or the combustion gas so that droplet(s) 81 can be
formed, and a rotatable discharge member 60 is contained in a forward
portion of the nozzle 40 and has a droplet passage 61 for the droplet(s)
81 at the center so that the droplet(s) 81 can be jetted together with the
forming gas or the combustion gas. The discharge member 60 is
formed with a projection 63, which changes a discharge direction of a
droplet(s) 81 at the center of the distal end portion, and is formed
integrally with a plurality of arm members 65, which project from the
discharge member 60 and arranged in an air jet cylinder 50 that is
contained in the outer cylinder 10 at the rear end, whereby an air jet
space 66 for jetting a rotation air is formed, and rotational force is
given to the discharge member 60 by air jetted from an air jet port 53 of
the air jet cylinder 50 arranged outside the air jet space 66. Therefore,
in the thermal spraying torch 100, the rotational speed of the discharge
member 60 for radially discharging the droplet 81 can be set to a range
from 800 to 6,000 rpm. Further, thermal spraying is carried out with
respect to the inner surface of the pipes and the cylinder 91 so that the
optimum sprayed coating film 82 can be formed. A process for thermal
spraying with such a device is also disclosed.
