Filed: 1990-12-04
Abstract: PURPOSE:To enable a heat pipe to be easily inserted in each hole formed in a hollow roll without exposing the hole to the inner or outer side of the roll by sealing the predetermined amount of evaporative operation fluid in each hole. CONSTITUTION:When there appears any imbalance of thermal distribution in a hollow roll 1 due to uneven heating or the like, heat is quickly transported from the high temperature side of the roll 1 to the low temperature side, because of high heat conduction of a heat pipe 7. In this case, a plurality of holes 6 are drilled at the predetermined intervals through both peripheral ends of the hollow roll 1 subjected to induction heating via an electromagnetic coil, and extended approximately to the axial center of the roll 1. In addition, the end of each hole is formed to have a hemispheric shape. Furthermore, the heat pipe 7 sealing evaporative operation fluid is inserted and coupled to the hole 6. In addition, the end of the pipe 7 is formed to have a hemispheric shape along the end form of the hole 6.

Title: Method and circuit for controlling constant linear speed of recordable compact disk
Inventor: KAWA DAIRIYUU
IPC: G11B19/247
Filed: 1990-12-05
Abstract: PURPOSE: To control linear speed to be constant and to record data in a compact disk where data containing a synchronous pattern is not recorded by generating a synchronizing signal similar to that at the time of reproduction by means of a micro computer. CONSTITUTION: The period of a synchronous clock reduces by Δt as a pickup moves to an outer peripheral track from an inner peripheral side. The micro computer 10 generates the signal where the period reduces by Δt and a filter 40 shapes a phase difference signal detected by applying it to a phase detector 30 with the output signal of a clock generator 20 and it is applied to a motor driving circuit 50. The rotary speed of a spindle motor 60 reduces by Δt and the linear speed of the pickup can be kept to be constant. Thus, the synchronizing signal similar to that at the time of reproduction can be generated, linear speed is made constant and data can be recorded at the time of recording data in the compact disk where the synchronous pattern is not recorded.

Title: Driving system for camera lens
Inventor: FUEKI AKIHIRO
IPC: G02B7/08
Filed: 1990-12-28
Abstract: PURPOSE:To reduce the power consumption at the time of stopping a motor by continuing excitation extending over a sufficiently longer time than a settling time after applying a rotational pulse, and thereafter, setting all excitation phases to non-excitation. CONSTITUTION:In the case of stopping a master lens group, if an excitation phase is set to a non-excitation state in a shorter time than a settling time ts after a rotational pulse is applied, there is a fear that a rotor is shifted from a prescribed position by a moment of inertia of the rotor and a load. Therefore, at the time of stopping a stepping motor, excitation of a sufficiently long time of about two folds of the settling time ts is continued as it is after the rotational pulse is applied, and thereafter, all excitation phases are set to non-excitation. After the rotational pulse P2 is applied at the time t1, non- excitation is set by the settling time ts and the time t2 when a holding time ts being roughly equal thereto elapses. In such a way, the master lens group is held stably in a prescribed stop position, and during this time, no current flows, therefore, electric power is not consumed.

Date Sep. 13, 1984.The compression molding of sections (15), bars, molded articles, or similar, consisting of vegetable particles mixed with binding media was uneconomical, because the relatively short molding time was overlapped by the disproportionate curing time. In order to considerably improve upon this deficiency, the inventor proposes to feed the molded section (15), or similar, along its longitudinal axis into a curing unit, while the sections (15) between the molding jaws (3 through 6) should remain in clamped position. The molding jaws (3 through 6), together with the cured section (15), are then returned through the press and the section is ejected after the unlocking of the molding jaws (3 through 6). Within the framework of the cyclic work, the individual operating processes can be adjusted to one another.
