Abstract: According to a method of transferring a sheet
through a working apparatus (H), a first sheet (11) is moved by
feed rolls (5) partially into a working area of the working
apparatus (H), which is followed by moving a second sheet (11a) by
the same feed rolls (5) to allow the leading end of the second
sheet (11a) to be brought into abutment with the trailing end of
its preceding first sheet (11) and then to push the first sheet (11) to
a predetermined position within the working area. After
the first sheet (11) is thus placed and the second sheet (11a) is moved
back out of the working area, the apparatus is operated to
work the first sheet (11), for example, by pressing. The
second sheet (11a) is moved forward into abutment with the
trailing end of the worked first sheet (11) and moved further
while pushing the first sheet toward delivery rolls (9) of the
apparatus, which then removes the first sheet (11) out of the
working area of the apparatus. Such steps of operation is
repeated to transfer a series of sheets successively
through the working apparatus.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ultrafine titanium fiber or titanium
alloy fiber comprises the steps of: forming a composite strand (6) by
binding a multitude of covered wires (4), in which a covering layer (2) is
formed around the periphery of a metal wire (1), and covering the wires
with an exterior material (5); forming a composite wire (7) by repetitively
conducting cold wire-drawing processing and annealing heat treatment to
said composite strand (6); and conducting a wire-separating process to
form a metal fiber bundle (8) by removing a portion corresponding to the
covering layer (2) and the exterior material (5) in said composite wire (7).
The method is characterized in that (A) the metal wire (1) is a titanium
wire material or a titanium-alloy wire material; (B) the covering layer (2)
and the exterior material (5) are mild steel containing 0.25 wt% or less or
carbon; and (C) the maximum temperature the composite strand reaches
during the annealing heat treatment conducted for the composite strand (6)
is between 700°C and 800°C.

Abstract: A method for controlling electromagnetic flux concentration in a discharge
guide tube (22) for a metal refining apparatus is provided. The discharge
guide tube comprises a base plate (28), an extension (29), a central orifice
(32) that extends through the extension from a source of liquid metal to an
outlet in the discharge guide tube for directing a stream of metal therethrough,
and an interior discharge guide tube flux concentration configuration; an
induction heater system that generates an electromagnetic field in the
discharge guide tube, the induction heater system (38) being disposed on the
extension with a gap defined therebetween, the induction heater system and
the discharge guide tube being capable of relative vertical movement and
subsequent positions with respect to each other with the gap being essentially
constant. The method for providing electromagnetic flux concentration
comprises providing current to the induction heater system; generating an
electromagnetic field resulting from the step of providing current; and directing
an electromagnetic flux to the central orifice at locations defined by the
interior discharge guide tube. The step of generating an electromagnetic flux
also generates heat and the step of generating heat provides a control of the
flow of the stream of metal in its liquidus condition. The electromagnetic field
is applied at a substantially constant level regardless of the relative vertical
movement and subsequent positions between the induction heater system
and the discharge guide tube.

Abstract: This invention comes under the field of child-care articles made
specially so that babies can place it in their mouths themselves. In
particular, it is an extremely practical, simple device which, in any
one of its various forms, if dropped, will automatically return to the
position that guarantees the maximum hygiene without ever touching
the ground in any way. An auto-stabilising baby's pacifier that is
characterised by a flat base (2) that functions as a counter weight and
is attached on its upper edge to a baby's pacifier teat (1) and which
has a semicircular (4) rotating element connected to its upper lateral
border, which in turn is connected to a string and a clip for attaching
the pacifier to the baby's clothing. 
     The aforesaid base (2) is, or contains, a counter weight, while on its
upper border the pivot ends (3) of a rotating semicircular element (4).
The rotating axis realised by the pivot of the ends (3) of the
semicircular element (4) is situated above the total barycentre of the
device + pacifier teat, so that any rotation that occurs around this axis
tends to incline the pacifier teat into its original vertical position, that
is, with the teat (1) facing upward, and also by the fact that the base
with its counter weight (2) sets off a coupled reaction that returns the
pacifier teat to its original position

Abstract: It is demanded to add a new service to the Web quickly and
to develop a Web application system in a short period of time to
extend a service. It is thus necessary to alleviate the burden on
developers or programmers to speed up development, and to cope with
complicated systems or to make systems extensible. Thus, the
system has to be designed to clearly associate components with one
another and separate their respective roles. In the development
of a Web application system, each of the components of the servlet,
JSP, and Bean is defined in a one-to-one relationship corresponding
to each screen image, thereby making the relationship among each
of the components clear. A component table generating unit is
provided for generating the definition of each component as a
component table from screen design. Also provided is an automatic
code generating unit for automatically generating the code of
servlet, JSP, and Bean using the component table and the information
of the design document. This facilitates the development and
alleviates the burden on developers or programmers.

Abstract: A voltage regulator that includes a voltage control circuit, fabricated on a
semiconductor. The voltage control circuit maintains a voltage between a first node and a
second node within a predetermined range by maintaining a current level flowing from the
first node to the second node. The current level is a function of a voltage between a third
node and the second node. A thermal sensing circuit is also fabricated on the semiconductor
and is thermally coupled to the voltage control circuit. The thermal sensing circuit asserts a
latch signal that causes the voltage control circuit to allow a saturation value of current to
flow from the first node to the second node when the thermal sensing circuit senses that the
voltage control circuit has reached a temperature above a predetermined threshold.
