Abstract: A work is applied with a solvent-containing thermosetting coating composition to a thickness larger than a limit thickness over which the coating composition on a surface of the work extending in a vertical direction will normally run or sag in a coating zone. After applied with the coating composition, the work is rotated about a substantially horizontal axis to prevent the coating composition on the vertical surface of the work from running or sagging and is conveyed through a heat-hardening zone for hardening the coating composition applied to the work by heating by a conveyor line. The conveyor line includes a pair of conveyors which are separated from each other upstream of a position where the coating composition is applied to the work to a thickness larger than said limit thickness. The heat-hardening zone includes a pre-heat-hardening zone for half hardening the coating composition and a main heat-hardening zone for fully hardening the coating composition after the coating composition is half hardened. A pooling zone in which a predetermined number of works can be temporarily pooled is provided between the pre-heat-hardening zone and the main heat-hardening zone.

Abstract: In a serial access memory device in which dynamic memory cells and aerial registers are combined, the chip area occupied by the added serial registers can be reduced and thereby the cost of the memory chip can be reduced. The dynamic serial registers (SR) for reading data in series are provided in correspondence to the dynamic cell array (CA). When data are read under control of a transfer gate control block (X'fer CTL), the address is stored in an address compare block (X'fer Add). During the refresh of the cell array (CA) by a refresh control block (Ref CTL), the address of the cells being refreshed is given to the address compare block (X'fer Add). When both address match, the data of the cell array (CA) are transferred again to the serial registers (SR) through the transfer gate control block (X'fer CTL) to refresh the data of the serial registers.

Abstract: A sweep frequency vibrator has an elongate cylindrical housing (12) closed at the top (16) and bottom (14) ends. On the interior, there is a reactionary mass (48) fixed to identical upper (42) and lower (44) piston ends. They are received in seal isolated chambers (40,56), one being formed in a moveable plug (52). The plug is moved to thereby vary the spacing of the chambers (40,56). As the frequency is changed, the plug (52) is moved to ensure sufficient clearance from the excursion of the reactionary mass (48). Hydraulic oil under pressure is delivered to control valves (30,72), one for each piston end. The two control valves (30,72) and piston ends (42,44) preferably have very short flow lines, and the excursion permitted for the plug ensures operation without bottoming out.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus comprising a cleaning unit (45) wherein a storage (104) is defined in a cleaning housing (101) to store therein toner to be discarded which is collected from the surface of a photoconductive drum (42) after image transfer. The aforesaid storage (104) has a capacity exceeding the maximum volume of toner to be used under normal conditions within the service life of the photoconductive drum (42). A cumulative number of produced copies is found from a signal from a paper discharge detecting sensor (140), so that with the number reaching a certain value, it is judged that the life of the photoconductive drum (42) has expired. If a reed switch (130) detects the fullness of toner waste before the expiry of the life of the photoconductive drum, it is judged to be abnormal, and a display unit (10) is caused to indicate abnormality. Concurrent execution of exchange of photoconductive drums and disposal of toner waste is assured, and if this is not accomplished, warning for trouble shooting is provided.
