  • Publication number: 20130088742
    Abstract: A power supply control apparatus to control a power supply to each unit disposed in an image processing apparatus has a primary power supply unit to supply primary, a primary power detector, a transformer to convert the primary power to secondary power for each unit in the image processing apparatus, and a comparing unit that compares the detected primary power and a threshold value for the primary power set in advance and to output a signal corresponding to a comparison result. The comparing unit outputs a signal indicating that a power plug connectable to the external power source is incompletely inserted when the detected primary power is less than the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 5886838
    Abstract: A door mirror with a small dead angle which enables the driver to easily see the areas where the right and left front and rear wheels are touching the ground that could not been seen with conventional door mirrors due to dead angles, and to easily see the horizontal forward direction (if there are oncoming cars) on the side of the assistant driver's seat at the time of passing another car ahead by manipulating buttons on the driver's seat and, then, automatically returns to its initial state. The door mirror with a small dead angle comprises a support arm which includes a straight-moving screw, a slide plate that slides in the lengthwise direction thereof, and a mirror case pivoted on the slide plate to rotate. The door mirror may be further equipped with movable sources of light, may be constructed so as to be folded and may contain a fine adjustment mechanism in the mirror case.

  • Patent number: 4792912
    Abstract: Thermal stress of a metal portion of a pressure-tight tube is calculated on the basis of calculated values of a temperature distribution calculator for calculating the distribution of temperature at positions equidistantly arranged in a direction of the thickness of the aforesaid tube on the basis of measured values of metal portion of the aforesaid tube, whereby the thermal stress being changed momently is accurately measured and monitored. Further, there is provided a calculation cycle setter for presetting calculation cycles on the basis of measured values of the fluid temperature in the aforesaid tube. The calculation cycles are made short when fluctuations in the measured values of the fluid temperature are large, while, the calculation cycles are made long when fluctuations in the measured values of the fluid temperature are small.
