Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provides a temperature
detecting device and method for a running yarn which can sensitively and
accurately detect the temperature of the running yarn in a non-contact manner.
The present invention provides a temperature detecting device for a running
yarn including an infrared sensor for obtaining infrared rays emitted from the
running yarn, via an incidence section, the temperature detecting device
comprising converging means 15 located between an incidence section 12 and an
infrared sensor 14, for converging infrared rays obtained through the incidence
section 12, on the infrared sensor 14, and a reflector 3 spaced from the
incidence section 12 and having a reflection surface directed to the incidence
section, wherein a space 4 is formed between the incidence section 12 and the
reflector 3. Infrared rays emitted from a running yarn Y are directly guided
to the infrared sensor 14 via the converging means 15 and also indirectly
guided to the infrared sensor 14 via the reflector 3 and the converging means
15 (Fig. 1).

Abstract: A raceway section forms part of a raceway system for routing, protecting and
enclosing cabling, and includes a base member, which may be U-shaped, and two split
covers independently removably attached to side walls of the base member, such as by
a hook and buckle attachment system. The base member defines a cable receiving
channel and a longitudinally extending top opening. The split covers each have a
laterally extending cover portion, an outside edge portion, and an inside edge portion,
wherein the split covers each cover a portion of the longitudinally extending top
opening such that a substantial amount of the top opening is covered. The inside edge
portions are juxtaposed to form a longitudinally extending slot sufficiently wide to
allow the removal or insertion of a cable through the slot without removal of the split
covers. For insertion or removal of larger cables or bundles, one or both split covers
can be removed.

Abstract: A swing member (110) is supported by a swing support member
(114) like a universal joint of a Hook's type such that it can
swing in a state where it is prevented from rotating around a
center line (Lo). In this manner, even if a shaft (106) rotates
at high speed, the swing member (110) is surely prevented from
rotating around the shaft (106). Therefore, it is possible to
prevent a piston (112) from excessively vibrating, hence to prevent
large noises from being made, and to improve reliability and
durability of a compressor (100) when the compressor (100) is
operated at high speed.
