Abstract: This invention relates to a non-contact developing method for applying a driving voltage, which is an AC voltage superimposed on a DC offset voltage, to a non-contact developing roller to develop toner, and which prevents the selective developing phenomenon from occurring. The velocity ratio between the flying velocity of toner with a large particle size and the flying velocity of toner with a small particle size changes according to the driving frequency f of the AC voltage (45) applied to the developing roller, so by setting the driving frequency f of the AC component within a range where selective developing of the toner does not occur, it is possible to effectively prevent the selective developing phenomenon from occurring.

Abstract: On a setting cart which is movable back and forth between a setting station and a vehicle body assembly station, there are provided floor panel setting members, side sill receiving members and side panel forcing members which force side panels toward a floor panel from a lateral outward. In the setting station, the floor panel and the side panels which are set in position on the setting cart are transferred to a jig which is disposed in a side portion of the vehicle body assembly station. The side panels are welded to the floor panel by welding robots which are disposed at a level below the jig. In the above-described arrangement, the side sill receiving members and the side panel forcing members are set on the setting cart so as to be retractable into shunted positions free from interference with the welding robots in welding operation. The welding work by the welding robots can thus be started without waiting for the returning of the setting cart to the setting station.

Abstract: A receiver includes two input terminals. A VHF broadcast signal over a 6-MHz band channel is inputted through one input terminal, while an FM broadcast signal over an approximate 100-kHz band channel is inputted through the other input terminal. The other input terminal is connected with a trap circuit for band width reduction. This trap circuit causes attenuation in signal components over channels close to a desired channel except that over the desired channel with a band of approximately 100 kHz. An analog switch inputs selectively the VHF broadcast signal and the FM broadcast signal attenuated in the signal components to a tuning circuit having a tuning band width of approximately 6 MHz. When an FM broadcast signal is selected, an FM broadcast signal only over a desired channel is outputted from the tuning circuit.
