The machine for the automatic production of prints from a continuous strip of photographic film consists of a pre-splicer (2) which joins separate lengths of film from individual rolls (1) together. The film (3) then passes through the developing apparatus (5) where it is developed and washed before being placed against the strip of light sensitive paper (17) to produce the prints. The light sensi...

The invention relates to an ion sputtering pump having a housing with at least one getter module located in the housing. The getter module has a heating device. In order to reduce the amount of time required for the activation and regeneration of the getter module, the heating device is in direct, intimate thermal contact with the getter module.

Herein disclosed is a flanged linear ball bearing, in which a ball cage for arraying balls between a bearing housing and a bearing shaft is formed with a flange to be fixed on a mounting member such as a bed or a table. Thus, the bearing housing can be formed into a cylindrical shape having no flange so that it can be easily worked to drop the production cost and improve the production efficiency ...

The innovation provides apparatus capable of monitoring and controlling small pressure variations in atmospheric compression or depression systems, in such a way as to maintain the continuity of the absolute values, in spite of factors that might influence the conditions of pressure or vacuum. The chief characteristic of the invention is that it has a sensitive element for communicating with the p...
