Compact CO2 laser machining equipment allows highly accurate machining to be easily performed, through improved oscillation and a simplified optical structure which provides high accuracy for a long term. CO2 laser oscillator has a flexible cable connected with the oscillator through a portion for transmitting laser beams, including fibers for transmitting rays of 10.6 microns. The cable has a co...

An apparatus for producing a novel extruded composite confection product comprising slotted extrusion means arranged to extrude in succession at least four thin superimposed layers of a first confection material having a thickness of less than 5 mm. The apparatus further contains a take-off conveyor arranged to receive the output of the slotted extrusion means and spray nozzles arranged for sprayi...

PURPOSE:To simply remove silver carbonate in silver oxide powder by dipping the powder in an aqueous alkali soln. of a predetermined temp. range to chemically change the silver carbonate into silver oxide. CONSTITUTION:Silver oxide powder contg. silver carbonate is dipped in an aqueous alkali soln. of 60-100 deg.C for 0.5-1hr to convert the silver carbonate into silver oxide. Thus, very stable sil...

PURPOSE:To promote a ventilation within a building structure, prevent the invasion of dew and fungus and increase a durability of a building by a method wherein spacings within dwelling structure such as under-floor space, inner wall space and partition wall space are communicated to each other, an outdoor weather condition is detected by a sensor, and both attic ventilation port or the building a...
