Title: A linear guide gripper assembly
Inventor: ISHIBASHI KOICHIRO
IPC: B25J15/08
Filed: 1998-02-11
Abstract: A linear guide gripper assembly comprises a rod 2 that is operated by an air cylinder mechanism 1, a pair of fingers 3, 3 that can be opened and closed to grip a workpiece, a guide mechanism 4 that guides the fingers linearly to open or close them, and a pair of levers 5, 5 that convert the operation of the rod 2 into the opening and closing operation of both fingers 3,3. The levers 5 and fingers 3 are coupled together by fitting an at least partially spherical engagement element 34 formed on the end of each lever into a circular engagement hole 35 cut in the top surface of the fingers, at a position at which the force of the levers 5 can be transmitted to the fingers 3 at or adjacent the same height as that of the guide mechanism 4. The engagement element 34 may have a variety of different shapes (see Figures 3 and 4). Preferably the guide mechanism 4 includes a guide block 26 with a recessed groove 27 in which the fingers 3 are located. A guide groove 28 may be located on each of the walls of this guide block 26, directly opposite a guide groove (29, Figure 2) located on each side of each finger 3, and a rolling element (30, Figure 2) may be located in the space between these two guide grooves. Pinching of fingers is prevented during opening or closing which allows them to open or close smoothly and this structure also results in miniaturisation of the gripper assembly.

Title: Remotely controlled toy stunt vehicle
Inventor: TILBOR NEIL
IPC: A63H17/00
Filed: 1998-08-18
Abstract: A remotely controlled toy vehicle (10) includes a pair of rear wheels (30), and a pair of reversible electric motors (60) controlled remotely from the vehicle, each motor driving a separate one of the rear wheels independently of the other motor and other rear wheel to selectively propel and steer the toy vehicle during operation. Each rear wheel (30) has a maximum outer diameter (D) that is: greater than a minimum distance (T) between facing sides of the pair of rear wheels; also preferably more than twice the diameter (d) of each front wheel (24), greater than the distance (WB) between the front and rear wheel axes, and/or more than one-half the overall vehicle length (L)along its centerline. The weight of each rear wheel is concentrated towards the rim, eg. two thirds of the weight within the outermost 15% measured along a radius; the combined weights of the two rear wheels is at least thirty percent of the total weight of the vehicle. These design parameters provide a gyroscope effect when the vehicle spins, flips or stands on end. Rear tyres (74) generally have low friction co-efficients plus a raised higher-grip band (177, Fig.5, not shown) for when the vehicle is running upright.

Filed: 1998-08-27
Abstract: A light intensity control apparatus includes a light source, e.g. a laser array (10), an optical beam splitter (11) which splits light into monitor light and principal light; a polarization beam splitter (12) which splits the monitor light into two polarized light components; monitor light detectors (13, 14) which detect the polarized light components; a polarization correction device (At) which corrects the outputs of the monitor light detectors so that the intensity of the combined output signal of the monitor light detectors and the light intensity of the principal light on an object surface (17) have a predetermined correlation, regardless of the polarization state of the light incident upon the optical beam splitter; and a humidity dependency correction device (B1) which corrects the combined output of the monitor light detectors to compensate for any changes in polarization dependency characteristics of the optical beam splitter (11), caused by a change in humidity. The output of the polarization correction device (A1) is fed to a light source power control circuit as a feedback signal for the light source (10). The humidity dependency correction device (B1) may detect humidity directly, or detect light passing through the optical beam splitter (11) from a reference light source.

Title: Marked golf ball and manufacturing process thereof
Inventor: KAMETANI RYUHEI
IPC: B44C1/17
Filed: 1999-01-29
Abstract: A marked golf ball is provided. The mark on the ball surface contains a holographic portion in a solid color portion of printing ink. The mark is printed on the ball surface by use of a transfer printing film. In a manufacturing process of the printing film, a desired shape is printed in ink on a cover layer, the ink portion is masked by a water-soluble layer, a thin metal layer is deposited all around, and then the water-soluble layer is washed off to remove the metal layer on the water-soluble layer and to leave the metal layer adjacent to the ink portion on the cover layer. The remaining portion of the metal layer turns to be the holographic portion due to a rough boundary between the cover layer. The mark has a novel appearance and makes the golf ball a quality, decorative, distinct and well discriminative value added product.

Title: IC testing device
Inventor: HASHIMOTO YOSHIHIRO
IPC: G01R31/28
Filed: 1997-11-20
Abstract: An IC testing device in which a current detecting resistor is connected between the power terminal of an IC to be tested on the current flow-out side and a common potential point, a short-circuit switch is connected in parallel with the current detecting resistor, a large current which flows in the operating mode of the IC is bypassed through the short-circuit switch, and the voltage generated at the current detecting resistor is measured to find the current flowing in the stop mode of the IC. When the found current value is larger than a specific value the IC is judged to be defective. A voltage comparator which monitors the voltage generated at the current detecting resistor is provided in a circuit which turns off the short-circuit switch. A control means which turns on the short-circuit switch when the voltage comparator detects that the voltage at the current detecting resistor becomes higher than the specific value, and a delay control means which gradually turns off the short-circuit switch are provided.
