  • Patent number: 7150198
    Abstract: A pressure sensor (1) includes a diaphragm (21) with a bottom formed of a thin-wall portion (210) and a pressure introducing joint (10), in which an austenitic precipitation hardening Fe—Ni heat resisting steel having high mechanical strength is used for the diaphragm (21), while an austenitic stainless steel that is relatively inexpensive is used for the pressure introducing joint (10). The diaphragm (21) and the pressure introducing joint (10) are integrated by welding, and Ni content of a weld portion is appropriately adjusted. Thereby, the pressure sensor (1) achieves high accuracy and reliability, and usage amount of the expensive austenitic precipitation hardening Fe—Ni heat resisting steel can be minimized in manufacturing the pressure sensor (1). Also, since the austenitic stainless steel has an excellent corrosion resistance, the pressure sensor (1) can be used in measurement of a fluid with high corrosiveness.

  • Publication number: 20040017483
    Abstract: The voltage of batteries is detected, and a determination is made whether the detected voltage is less than the normal value. If the detected voltage is below the normal value, a determination is made whether a sound recording priority flag is on. If the sound recording priority mode has not been set, a low battery level warning sound is generated to indicate that the level of the battery is low. If a determination is made that the sound recording priority mode has been set, however, the battery level warning sound (or other various operating sounds of the camera) is not generated. As a result, noise is reduced because the battery level warning sound and/or other operating sounds are not recorded.

  • Patent number: 6560411
    Abstract: If a sun gear is rotated in the clockwise direction, a planetary arm is also rotated in the clockwise direction so as to permit the planetary gear and a transmission gear to operatively mesh. If the sun gear is then rotated in the clockwise direction, a cam plate driven by a pin is rotated in the counterclockwise direction. A first engaging lever is rotated in the clockwise direction by a cam mounted to the rotary edge of the cam plate to release the engagement of the rotary edge of the planetary arm. If the sun gear is rotated in the counterclockwise direction, the planetary arm is rotated in the counterclockwise direction to permit the planetary gear to mesh with an idle gear. The planetary arm is engaged with a second engaging lever to maintain the meshed state between the planetary gear and the idle gear. If the sun gear is then rotated in the counterclockwise direction, a photographic film is wound up within a cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20020054278
    Abstract: A timing data recording device that prevents imprinting of incorrect timing data on a recording medium, such as a film loaded in a camera. The timing data recording device operates by power supply voltage from a detachable battery. When the battery of the timing data recording device is changed, a flag is automatically set so that imprinting of timing data on the film is inhibited. While this flag is set, there is no recording of incorrect timing data on the film. Moreover, when the battery is changed, until a data correction mode has been performed in order to correct the date and time, the flag remains set such that imprinting is inhibited. Thus, a user of the camera does not forget to reset the date and time after a battery change. Furthermore, the data correction mode is set only in the case that the usual select switch is actuated continuously for a predetermined time.

  • Publication number: 20010051044
    Abstract: If a sun gear is rotated in the clockwise direction, a planetary arm is also rotated in the clockwise direction so as to permit the planetary gear and a transmission gear to be meshed with each other. If the sun gear is rotated in the clockwise direction under this state, a cam plate driven by a pin is rotated in the counterclockwise direction. A first engaging lever is rotated in the clockwise direction by a cam mounted to the rotary edge of the cam plate so as to release the engagement of the rotary edge of the planetary arm. If the sun gear is rotated in the counterclockwise direction under this state, the planetary arm is rotated in the counterclockwise direction so as to permit the planetary gear to be meshed with an idle gear.
