Chair apparatus specially adapted for detachable mounting on a tiltable tomography table to restrain and support a patient and his head for tomographic exposures during pneumoencephalography. The chair apparatus positions the patient's head close to the tomography table and permits multiaxial rotation of the patient about his head so that a defined isocenter in the patient's brain does not move wi...

A device for guiding yarn as it is wound on a package from a source at a constant speed. The yarn passes over a yarn guide member which is supported on a holder. The holder is resiliently supported transversely to the direction of the yarn travel through the guide member for compensating for changes of the yarn tension during winding of the yarn onto the package.

A method and apparatus for forming a palletless package having a plurality of layers of objects, the bottom layer of which is formed with cavities to receive the fork arms of a lift truck. A stack of the objects to be packaged is first formed in a palleting device by placing the objects in a plurality of layers each having the same base area. Then, an additional layer of objects is placed on top o...

PURPOSE:To correct deviation from a target track speedily and stably all the time by correcting the position of a robot by the specific quantity determined by the quantity of the deviation and an angle difference from a track direction when the robot deviates from the track. CONSTITUTION:When the robot body 30 deviates from the track to the right in the moving direction by distance (d) and its ang...

TIRE TREAD FORMING METHOD AND APPARATUS A body having rubber material thereon is positioned on a lower member, and an upper member is moved toward the lower member, such relative movement causing tread-forming shoes to move to inward positions to form a tread on the rubber material. As an alternative, the upper and lower members may be brought together, and rubber material may be injected into po...
