Abstract: An optical CT apparatus in which the speed of scanning an object with light is increased for efficient measurement. In the present invention, a beam of light guided from light sources (15-1, 15-2) through a single optical fiber (12-5c) is introduced into one of optical fibers (12-1) of a fiber bundle through an image inversion optical system comprising a trapezoidal prism (13-1) and two lenses (14-2, 14-1). When the trapezoidal prism (13-1) is turned on its optical axis, the beam of light from the optical fiber (12-5c) is sequentially introduced into different optical fibers (12-1), so that an object (11) to be measured is scanned with the beam. The beam transmitting through different parts of the object (11) returns through the corresponding fibers to the image inversion optical system, and then it is introduced into the corresponding optical fibers (12-4) of a fiber bundle and is detected by optical detectors (16-2a, 16-2b, ...).

Abstract: The object of the present invention is reuse of the filtrate of a paint mist-cleaning water mixture as cleaning water without reduction in concentration efficiency. 
     According to the present invention, a waste paint-cleaning water mixture 2 available on trapping a water-based paint mist in cleaning water 1 is concentrated to recover the paint and the aqueous phase is recycled as cleaning water. In this system, the cleaning water prepared by reusing the aqueous phase is adjusted to an acid value of not greater than 10 and a pH value of 7.0 to 9.0. Controlling the amount of low molecular acid components in the aqueous phase in this manner prevents an abnormal viscosity increase in the filtration-concentration of the waste paint-cleaning water mixture.

Abstract: A multi-beam electron gun for a color cathode ray tube (CRT) includes a plurality of vertically spaced, horizontal inline beams, where each inline array of beams provides the three primary colors of red, green and blue and adjacent inline beam arrays simultaneously trace adjacent horizontal scan lines on the color CRT's display screen. The beams in each horizontal inline array of beams are focused on a common spot on the display screen, with the three beams deflected across the screen in unison. Each inline array of beams is modulated in accordance with that portion of the video image which they form allowing adjacent, vertically spaced inline arrays to write different video image information on the screen in simultaneously forming adjacent portions of the color video image. In the beam-forming region of the electron gun, a charged grid includes an array of apertures including at least upper and lower horizontally aligned apertures for passing inline arrays of beams. Vertical spacing between each of the upper and lower apertures is given by S V  and horizontal spacing between vertically aligned groups of apertures is given by S H , where           ¹/₂₀ S       H            ≦ S       V            ≦ ¹/₂ S       H       .          Simultaneously providing color video image information on more than one horizontal scan line allows for a reduction in horizontal scan frequency and associated magnetic deflection yoke operating criteria, and also increases beam dwell time on the screen's phosphor elements allowing for a reduction in individual beam current without sacrificing video image brightness while improving video image resolution.

Abstract: A multicolor liquid ink jet print head including a print head body containing liquid ink and having a nozzle assembly and electrical connections to the nozzle assembly. The print head body defines passageways to couple the ink from ink chambers (17-19) in the print head body to the nozzle assembly. The disclosed print head body contains three ink chambers for inks of three different colors, each of which is connected by a separate pathway in the print head body to a separate section of the nozzle assembly. The ink flow channels of the print head body are designed to assure total isolation of each color of ink from each of the other colors. The print head body includes sidewalls and a bottom, with the bottom of the print head body defining three exit ports (36-38) communicating with the nozzle assembly. One of the exit ports (37) communicates directly with an opening in the bottom of one of the ink chambers. Each of the other two exit ports communicates with a different crossflow channel (47,48) in the bottom of the print head body which in turn communicates with an opening (41,43) in the bottom of a different one of the ink chambers. The crossflow channels are formed in molding the print head body to extend to the exterior of the print head body, and each crossflow channel is sealed with a plug (56,57) to prevent leakage of ink from the crossflow channel.
