Patent EP-0500075-A2 (EP)
Inventor: IWASAKI JUZAEMON
IPC: A45D26/00
Filed: 1992-02-19
Abstract: A depilating device removes hairs from the skin of a user and includes a carrier (41) mounting a series of fixed and movable pinching plates (43,44) arranged along an axial direction of the carrier in an alternating relation and in a closely adjacent relation to form small clearances between the adjacent movable (44) and fixed (43) pinching plates for entrapping hairs therebetween. The fixed pinching plates (43) are kept fixed with respect to the axial direction of the carrier. The movable pinching plates (44) are caused to be displaced in the axial direction relative to the adjacent fixed pinching plates in order to repeat clamping the hairs between the adjacent ones of the fixed and movable pinching plates and releasing the same, thereby plunking the hairs from the skin. The depilating device is characterized in that the fixed and movable (43,44) pinching plates are arranged and displaced such that the two adjacent ones of the movable pinching plates (44) are caused to shift in the opposite directions along the axis of the carrier against the common fixed pinching plates (43) positioned between these two adjacent movable pinching plates to thereby apply counterbalancing clamping forces to the common one of the fixed pinching plates from the two adjacent movable pinching plates.

Abstract: A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus of a cassette type has a first and a second recording mode converting a luminance signal of a video signal into an FM luminance signal having a first and a second carrier frequency and recording the FM luminance signal on a magnetic tape respectively. When the FM luminance signal is to be recorded according to the second recording mode, a magnetic tape having an excellent short wavelength recording characteristic is used for recording. A cassette (124) containing this magnetic tape is provided with a configurational feature on its upper or lower half, and a detector (121) for detecting this feature is disposed in the apparatus. When the detector detects that a magnetic tape is adapted for recording according to the first recording mode, the FM luminance signal is recorded according to the first recording made, but when the detector detects that the magnetic tape is adapted for recording according to the second recording mode, the user can select either the first recording mode or the second recording mode as desired. A discriminating circuit (12) is disposed in the reproducing system to discriminate as to whether the FM luminance signal was recorded according to the first recording mode or the second recording mode, and, on the basis of the result of discrimination by the discriminating circuit, the reproduced FM luminance signal is automatically processed in a processing circuit (11) with a processing characteristic corresponding to the recording mode.

Abstract: A multiple pole, multiple phase, sensorless DC disk spindle motor (17) in a disk drive (1) is powered by direct current which is commutated among the motor phases from a DC power supply (42) to start the motor (17) and to rotate the disks (2) at constant speed in a predetermined direction whenever the disk drive (1) is in use. When the motor is prevented from rotating by the stiction bond of one or more transducers (5a6) which have adhered to the disks (2), the direct current (42) is reversibly commutated among the motor phases near the resonant frequency, a predetermined number of times, to produce substantially sinusoidal, bi-polar motor torques to achieve torque amplification to break the stiction bonds. Following the last of the predetermined number of reversible commutations of direct current, direct current commutation is initiated among the motor phases to rotate the motor (17) and the disks (2) in the desired direction at constant speed.

Abstract: Oscillation applied to a tablet is sensed by a sensor on the tablet and a time delay from generation of the oscillation to the sensing thereof is measured, whereby distance from the oscillation source to the sensor can be measured. If this distance is measured for each of a plurality of different sensors, the position of the oscillation source on the tablet can be determined. The measured delay time includes not only time for transmission through the tablet but also an error. Accordingly, the delay time between the oscillation source and a sensor is not used as is, one of the sensors is adopted as a reference sensor and a difference in delay time between this sensor and the oscillation source is used to measure the distance between the oscillation source and each sensor. As a consequence, errors attributable to respective sensors are canceled out so that measurement precision is improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dual method for producing male-sterile plants. Two genetically transformed plants, parents 1 and 2 are crossed to obtain male-sterile offspring. Parent 1 is transformed with an expression cassette comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an anther-specific promoter which is operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a transactivator. Parent 2 is transformed with an expression cassette comprising a target nucleotide sequence, which is capable of being activated by the transactivator, operably linked to a nucleotide sequence which encodes RNA or a polypeptide which will disrupt the formation of viable pollen. Therefore, crossing parent 1 with parent 2 results in male-sterile offspring. The male-sterile plants are useful for producing hybrid seed. 
     The invention also provides compositions and methods for high level expression of a coding region of interest in a plant.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for determining suitable clamping torques of screw connections having self-tapping screws. While known devices make possible the determination, display and storage of maximum values by means of a torque pick-up and a computer connected thereto, besides the maximum value which represents the over-torque MÜ, a relative maximum value ME lying before the latter, which must be applied by a screwdriver for cutting the thread grooves, is also recorded in the invention. The device and the method according to the invention determine the difference between these two torque values and permit, in an advantageous refinement, both a statistical mean-value formation from a series of multiple measurements and also the automatic calculation of a recommended clamping moment for a screwdriver.
