Abstract: The panoramic radiographic apparatus (1) of the present
invention has a cassette holder (9) capable of accommodating
both a conventional film cassette (21) and a digital sensor
cassette (22) loaded with an electric X-ray image detector (7), one
at a time, in a rotary arm (5), wherein when a film cassette is
mounted, the cassette holder is mechanically moved in
accordance with the rotation of the rotary arm so as to
carry out panoramic radiographing, and when a digital sensor
cassette is mounted, without moving the cassette holder, the
electric X-ray image detector is driven by supplying control
signals corresponding to the rotation of the rotary arm to
the digital sensor cassette to obtain image signals required
for generating a panoramic X-ray image. Therefore, both the
film cassette and the digital sensor cassette can easily be
mounted, one at a time, whereby required panoramic X-ray
images can be obtained by fully using the features of each
type of cassette.

Abstract: To optimally arrange roofing material integrated solar
battery modules having a rectangular form and same size on
a roof setting surface, an arrangement range in which the
solar battery modules can be arranged on the roof setting
surface is determined. An arranging direction of the solar
battery modules is determined. The number of solar battery
modules which can be arranged almost horizontally in a line
in the determined arranging direction and within the
arrangement range is calculated. Solar battery modules of
a line in a number not more than the calculated number are
combined to form a solar battery module group. The solar
battery module groups are arranged to set a center of the
solar battery module group within the determined arrangement
range and near a line almost vertically dividing the surface
into two parts. The above operations are repeated a number
of times corresponding to the number of lines of solar battery
module groups which can be vertically arranged in the
determined arranging direction and within the arrangement
range.

Abstract: A rotary disc (16) distributes toner evenly over the classification rotor (8) circumference. The toner descends under gravity, being guided through the classification zone (21). A spiral controls toner residence time distribution from top to bottom of the classification zone. Toner is introduced quickly in the homogenous state at the top and resides for a longer interval in the central part of the classification zone. At the bottom it is carried away continuously. Classification air driven past the outer edge of the rotor flows at a mean velocity of 3-7 m/s. The ratio of mass flowrate of toner to volumetric airflow is held at 0.05-0.3 kg/m<3>, based on product weight. Residence time is controlled by a coaxial spiral (29) around the classification rotor. This occupies only part of the radial extent of the classification zone. Over its length, the pitch of the spiral varies. Toner mass flowrate to classification air volumetric flowrate is preferably 0.1 kg/m<3>. Mean velocity of classification air is 5 m/s.
