Title: Dressing tool for the surface of an abrasive cloth and its preparation
Inventor: TORII KOUJI
IPC: C25D15/02
Filed: 1998-06-11
Abstract: Onto the surface of a dressing tool for removing the clogging of an abrasive cloth, diamond grains of plural groups each having a different average particle diameter are subjected to be mixed and then fixed. In this state, the upper end of small diamond grains 4 is projected over nickel plating 2. Thereby foreign substances aggregated in the concave of the abrasive cloth are effectively removed and at the same time wearing the surface of the nickel plating 2 is prevented. Achieved are the stabilization of a polishing speed in polishing and the inhibition of dropping out diamond grains and wearing nickel plating in dressing.

Title: Remotely controllable electrical switching apparatus
Inventor: HUNTER JOHNSTON JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 1998-11-26
Abstract: A load, particularly a light 11, can be switched on and off not only by one or more wired switches 18, 19, but also by a wireless remote control device 12. A control unit 25 incorporates a triac to switch the light 11 on or off in response to the presence or absence of a mains live input at a terminal 22 wired to wall switches 18, 19, and the control unit 25 also has a receiver for on and off control signals sent by radio from a hand-held or wall-mounted remote control device 12. The control unit 25 may switch the light 11 on and off in response to short duration control signals, but may slowly dim the light from on to off or vice versa in response to long duration control signals. Prior to installation, eg. above a ceiling or in place of a ceiling rose, a switch on the control unit 25 may be actuated to put it in a LEARN mode during which it will store unique address codes of any remote transmitters 12 that are actuated within a predetermined time. Once the control unit 25 has been installed, it may be placed in the LEARN mode by a control signal from any transmitter already having its address code stored in the unit 25. Each transmitter 12 may transmit a control signal which places the control unit 25 in an ERASE mode in which the unit 25 erases all address codes except that of the transmitter 12 which gave the ERASE mode command. That transmitter can then send the LEARN mode command to enable new transmitter address codes to be programmed into the control unit 25. The remote control device 12 may be installed in an aperture through a wall (W, Fig.4) or partition, such as a glass partition, so that it can be operated from either side of the partition. The device 12 may have a battery powered radio transmitter which is mounted on a double sided printed circuit board (40) also carrying a pair of ON switches (41, 41') at opposite sides and a pair of OFF switches (42, 42') at opposite sides. A rocker (43) at one side is operable to actuate the ON and OFF switches (41, 42) at that side, and a rocker (43') at the other side is operable to actuate the ON and OFF switches (41', 42') at that other side. The installed device 12 resembles a conventional wall switch, when viewed from either side of the wall (W).

Title: Electrical connector
IPC: H01R4/24
Filed: 1973-07-23
Abstract: A clasp apparatus for a length of strand material includes a notched metal plate supported in a housing. The notched portion in the plate has opposed slicing edges spaced apart a distance less than the diameter of the strand material to be forcibly inserted into the notched portion. The plate is outwardly bulged in the area of the notched portion for stiffening the plate and preventing buckling thereof during forcible insertion of said strand material into said notched portion. The plate further includes a pair of integral stiffener flanges on either side of the notched portion which further prevent buckling of the plate during insertion of the strand material into the slotted portion. The recessed portion of the housing receives the plate therein. A sidewall defining the recessed portion of the housing supportably engages against the stiffener flanges and a portion of the plate adjacent to the outwardly bulged portion thereof, further preventing buckling of the plate. The plate is thus constrained to deflect stiffly resiliently without buckling upon insertion of the strand material in the notched portion of the plate.

Patent JP-S55101934-A (JP)
Title: Original scanner
Inventor: SASAKI NOBUKAZU
IPC: G03B27/32
Filed: 1979-01-31
Abstract: PURPOSE: To prevent the vibration at the starting of optical member and achieve the improvement in image quality by first starting the optical member with an auxiliary power source to accelerate the same smoothly then changing over the power source to a main drive source and driving said member at the forward and backward moving of the optical member.  
     CONSTITUTION: When an electromagnetic clutch 56 is released upon ending of condition setting of photoreceptor, a shaft 50 becomes trunable and therefore the energizing force of a torsional coil spring 54 causes a lever arm 52 to press the 1st mirror support member 1S in the arrow F 3  direction, thereby applying smooth acceleration to the 1st, 2nd mirrors 1, 2 in the F direction. Soon after this, a cam 60 acts upon a microswitch 59 to energize an electromagnetic clutch 24 which in turn synchronizes the scanning optical system to the operation of a photosensitive drum 6. When the mirrors 1, 2 exceed the scanning end point position A', the cam 60 actuates a microswitch 61 to deenergize a clutch 24 and put a clutch 27 into an ON state later. Hence, the inertia force of the scanning optical system is absorbed in the coil spring 28 and the scanning optical system may be smoothly shifted into the return stroke B.
