Inventor: SPATOLISANO FRANCESCO
IPC: B65B51/30
Filed: 1996-03-18
Abstract: Heat-sealing device (14) including mutually opposite active heads (15) that are associated with respective counter-rotating driving shafts (17-18) and are subjected to the action of cam elements (31-32) that move the heads along a path that is partially parallel to a continuous tubular container (12) that includes the products to be packaged. The oppositely arranged active heads (15'-15''), during the rotation of the respective counter-rotating driving shafts (17-18), move mutually closer to clamp the tubular container in the region that separates one product from the other and to perform the heat-sealing of that region and the cutting of the container that separates each package from the adjacent one. A planetary-gear system (25, 33, 34) is interposed between the active heads (15) and the corresponding driving shaft to make the individual heads, during the rotation of the driving shaft, perform a revolving motion that keeps them parallel to themselves, and to cause the mutual approach of the mutually opposite heads (15'-15'') in a mutually parallel relationship along an approach path that is substantially perpendicular to the tubular container.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive head is composed of a soft magnetic layer (22) formed on a substrate (21), a magnetic isolation layer (23) formed on the soft magnetic layer (22), a magnetoresistive layer (24) formed on the magnetic isolation layer (23), and a magnetic domain controlling magnetic layer (25), which is made of an anti-ferromagnetic layer or a hard ferromagnetic layer having a magnetically non-active thickness, for covering a sense region (S) of the magnetoresistive layer (24). Accordingly, because the magnetic domain controlling magnetic layer (25) grows on the magnetoresistive layer (24) in succession to the growth of the magnetoresistive layer (24), there is no probability that a natural oxide is produced in a boundary region between the magnetoresistive layer (24) and the magnetic domain controlling magnetic layer (25). Also, there is no probability that a film thickness of the magnetoresistive layer placed under the magnetic domain controlling magnetic layer (25) changes. Therefore, an exchange coupling magnetic field of the magnetic domain controlling magnetic layer (25) for the magnetoresistive layer (24) can be stabilized, a Barkhausen noise can be suppressed, and a superior magnetoresistive effect characteristic can be stably obtained.

Abstract: The chain (CH) of an electromotive chain saw (10) is quickly stopped by the combined use of an electric brake and a mechanical brake (40) when a trigger member (15) is turned off. The rear end of a brake band (23) disposed to tighten a brake drum by operating a hand guard (17) is secured to a bent rod (41). When the trigger member (15) is released, the brake band (23) is normally tightened around the outer periphery of a brake drum (21) by the urging force of a coil spring (34). When the trigger member is released, a circuit provided with a brake winding is closed, thereby applying a dynamic braking force. When the dynamic brake force is applied, a centrifugal clutch is released quickly and the speed of stopping the brake drum (21) is accelerated.

Abstract: The demodulator receives input signals (XM,XP) of opposite signs which are applied to a mixer (10) with a standard signal (QR,QM) of preset frequency (f0). After an at least third order low-pass filter (12), a first signal (Y0) is produced which is frequency modulated about a transposition frequency (fT) equal to the difference between the intermediate and preset frequencies. A capacitative phase shifter (60) produces a second signal (Y2) and a first low-pass filter (110) eliminates its high frequency components. A second low-pass filter (120) identical to the first is applied to the first signal and the filter outputs are mixed (130,132) to produce the output in baseband. The IF is chosen to be between 440 and 500 kHz and the transposition frequency is chosen to be between 80 and 200 kHz with a third order low-pass cut-off between 200 and 300 kHz.
