An image forming system has a copy apparatus with an ADF, a sorter and the like, two or more micro computers, and reset circuits. When a micro computer detects an abnormality in data transferred between micro computers, its reset circuit resets the system such that a predetermined copy process is performed and then the system safely stops. Such an abnormality in the transfer data can be detected b...

The stationary pressing member (18) has an outer periphery shaped in...

A biomaterial suitable for use in medical devices which comprises peritoneal tissue, especially animal parietal peritoneum tissue, which has been chemically treated to crosslink the collagen in the tissue.

A probe with a shoulder is used to support a pre-flanged distal end of a catheter placed inside of an adapter. The probe has a minor diameter to engage coaxially the bore of the catheter and a major diameter to carry coaxially the adapter in axial alignment with the catheter. The pre-flanged distal end of the catheter is compressed by the shoulder into the adapter during a dielectric welding opera...

PURPOSE:To obtain an amplitude comparison circuit with high accuracy without using a special level shift circuit by applying a voltage to be compared respectively to a positive-phase input terminal and an negative-phase input terminal via 1st and 2nd switched capacitor circuits comprising the switching element and the capacitor element matching with each other. CONSTITUTION:A 1st signal voltage is...

PURPOSE:To enable a fluororubber valve body to be baked with good adhesive property, while generating no rust on a metal fitment body by a method in which after copper plating has been applied onto a fitment body, a part-fitting portion to be provided with fluororubber parts is coated with an adhesive, and after unvulcanized fluororubber has been vulcanized, it is baked and fixed, and further nick...

A container such as a bottle or a can for liquid or the like, preferably cylindrical in which at least the lower portion is defined by a substantially vertical closed surface hollow body and which is unitary with a bottom structure. The latter consists of a preferable convex bottom surround by a double wall skirt, the outer edge of the bottom wall being sealed to the inner wall of the container. A...

DESCRIPTIF Le bloc amortisseur est constitué d'un empilage de plusieurs treillis, chacun définissant des cellules individuelles qui sont remplies d'une mousse de polymère. Chacun des treillis comporte des parois rigides et parallèles entre elles, lesquelles sont réunies par des sections de parois flexibles. Les treillis sont empilés les uns sur les autres de façon à ce qu'au moins les arêtes des p...

Le procédé permet d'apprécier les variations, dans le temps, de caractéristiques, notamment les dimensions ou la coloration, ou autre, d'une zone ou de l'ensemble d'une personne. On utilise une caméra video pour prendre une image à un instant donné (T) de la zone ou de l'ensemble de la personne, placée devant un écran éclairé par un système d'éclairage de manière que l'ensemble de la personne appa...

Sorbent sheet products are prepared comprising a coherent fibrous web that includes entangled blown fibers and liquid transport fibers intermingled with the blown fibers and an array of solid high sorbency liquid-sorbent polymeric particles uniformly dispersed and physically held within the web. The particles swell upon sorption of liquid, and the transport fibers cause increased and more rapid so...
