Patent EP-0479047-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HONDA KIYOTERU
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 1991-09-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically evacuating blood aspirator tubes. Stoppered blood aspirator tubes are arrayed on an arraying table. The air suction needle is moved to the stoppered blood-drawing tubes. The air suction needle then descends to enter the inside of the tube to suck air from the aspirator tube. When the evacuation is completed, the air suction needle is raised. A presser presses the stopper of the blood aspirator tube during upward travel of the air suction needle, thereby preventing the stopper and the blood aspirator tube from being moved upwards simultaneously with the air suction needle.

Abstract: An integrating voltage-to-frequency converter and method for converting a DSB-SC signal into a frequency-encoded signal. The DSB-SC signal is demodulated using an up/down counter, the count direction of which is alternately switched in synchronism with the phase polarity of a reference carrier signal for the DSB-SC signal. The converter includes an integrator, a comparator, and means for rebalancing the integrator circuit. Means for tracking and storing a partial-bit analog signal level at the output of the integrator are provided, where the partial-bit analog signal level is obtained just prior to a phase transition of the reference carrier signal. The count of the up/down counter is corrected thereby to account for the partial-bit analog signal information. A capacitor is used to sample the partial-bit analog signal information and to transfer that information into the input of the operational amplifier to provide an opposite polarity correction charge to the integrator to correct for the partial-bit analog signal information as it is detected by the up/down counter. A digital system for converting the partial-bit analog signal level to a binary code word is provided. A number of binary code words are summed together to form an algebraic sum and means are provided for detecting that the algebraic sum exceeds a certain value so that a correction count for the up/down counter demodulator is provided to increment the up/down counter.

Abstract: In a three-shaft type automatic transmission (M), a fifth frictionally engaging element (C₅) is mounted on a second central shaft (CS), and first and second frictionally engaging elements (C₁,C₂) and third and fourth frictionally (C₃,C₄) engaging elements are mounted respectively on first and third shafts (MS,SS>) which are disposed on opposite sides of the second shaft (CS). When one of the first and third shafts (MS,SS) is used as an input shaft, the second shaft (CS) is an output shaft. When one of the first and third shafts (MS,SS) is used as an output shaft, the second shaft (CS) is an input shaft. The first and second frictionally engaging elements (C₁,C₂) and the third and fourth frictionally engaging elements (C₃,C₄) on the opposite sides of the second shaft (CS) are symmetrically disposed to reduce dead space and make the transmission case small. Because the positional relationship between the input and output shafts can be transposed, the property of the transmission for general purpose is enhanced.

Abstract: Lipid is determined quantitatively by treating a sample with a surfactant in an aqueous medium to obtain a liquid sample dispersion, then reacting the dispersion with a reagent containing cupric ion and bicinchoninic acid, and measuring a colored state developed by complex formation of bicinchoninic acid with cuprous ion formed from cupric ion in the presence of lipid. This method can be effectively applied to determination of amphiphilic lipid having a tendency of gathering in an aqueous medium. Further, two different species interfering with each other in quantitative determination thereof are determined respectively by conducting two different determination methods on the same sample followed by calculation using the values obtained.

Abstract: In order to allow bending of members defining the cross-directional size of a frame of a foldaway baby carriage in association with movement of members forming side surfaces of the frame, side bars (16) rotate with respect to front legs (3) to draw up front leg sleeves (23) through front leg rigid links (30). At this time, guide pins (27) provided in the front legs (3) are moved in spirally extending guide grooves (26) which are formed in the front leg sleeves (23), so that the front leg sleeves (23) rotate due to the spiral extension of the guide grooves (26). Thus, a front leg coupling link (24) extending across the pair of front leg sleeves (23) is bent about bend points (25). A similar structure is employed in relation to a rear leg coupling member (21) extending across a pair of rear legs (6) and a side bar coupling member (22) extending across a pair of side bars (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A spread spectrum communication system comprising a transmitter including an angle modulator, a frequency divider, a spread code generator, and a spread spectrum modulator, and a receiver including a despreading circuit, an angle demodulator, a sync detection circuit, and a clock signal generating circuit. In the transmitter, the spread code generator produces aspread code having correlation with the angle-modulated signal outputted from the angle modulator. In the receiver the despreading circuit despreads the spread spectrum modulation signal sent from the transmitter by a demodulation spread code. The angle demodulator generates a demodulation output by means of a phase-locked loop circuit contained therein. The sync detection circuit detects sync condition on the basis of noise level of a phase detector provided in the phase-locked loop circuit, and generates a sync detection signal when sync condition is established. And, the clock signal generating circuit responds the sync detection signal to switch a demodulation clock from a temporary clock used for capturing a sync time to a regular clock which is equivalent to a modulation clock signal used in the transmitter.

Abstract: The present invention is suitable for examination of the rotating state of a Polygonal motor in an image forming apparatus. It is judged whether or not the rotational speed of the motor is a target speed until a first time has elapsed since the supply of power to the motor for rotating a Polygonal mirror was started every other second time sufficiently shorter than the first time continuously for a third time sufficiently shorter than the second time. If it is judged that the rotational speed of the motor is the target speed continuously for the third time, it is judged again whether or not the rotational speed of the motor is the target speed after an elapse of a fourth time since the judgment. If the rotational speed of the motor is the target speed, the motor outputs a signal indicating that the motor is stabilized at the target speed. If the rotational speed of the motor is not the target speed, the motor further waits until a fifth time has elapsed for judging whether or not the rotational speed of the motor is the target speed. If the rotational speed of the motor is the target speed, the motor outputs a signal indicating that the motor is stabilized at the target speed. Image formation processing is performed in response to the signal indicating that the motor is stabilized at the target speed.
