Abstract: A coupling ring is provided, including a series of unit members with adjacent unit members rotatably coupled to each other, and a fastener coupling unit members on both ends to each other. A concave groove provided to extend circumferentially is externally fitted into an outer circumference of each of two opposing flanges. The unit members on the both ends are coupled to each other by the fastener to be turned into an annular state. The fastener is fastened to thereby press an inclined surface. The flanges are pressure-bonded to each other by forces generated during pressing. A stopper member is provided to restrict a separation angle between the unit member on one end and an adjacent unit member to fall within a certain angle in an open state in which the unit members on the both ends are not coupled to each other provided on at least one of the unit members.

Abstract: Provided is an integrated gas panel apparatus which has excellent responsiveness, stabilizes gas concentration, and furthermore, can keep a conventional panel shape as it is. A panel body comprises at least a main flow channel block body for forming a main flow channel, and a branch flow channel block body for forming a branch flow channel. The branch flow channel block bodies are arranged on the both right and left sides to face each other by having the main flow channel block body at the center.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a reading unit, a recognition unit, a table-of-contents analysis unit, a main-body analysis unit, and a creation unit. The reading unit reads a table of contents page and a main body page as images. The recognition unit performs character recognition on the images of the table of contents and main body pages. The table-of-contents analysis unit analyzes the image of the table of contents page, and acquires at least a heading item in accordance with a result of character recognition. The main-body analysis unit analyzes the image of the main body page, and associates an image including the heading item with the heading item in accordance with a result of character recognition. The creation unit creates electronic bookmarked information in which bookmark information for associating the heading item with the image of the main body page is added to electronic information of the read images.

Abstract: Provided is an integrated gas panel apparatus which has excellent responsiveness, stabilizes gas concentration, and furthermore, can keep a conventional panel shape as it is. A panel body (2) comprises at least a main flow channel block body (32) for forming a main flow channel (R2), and a branch flow channel block body (31) for forming a branch flow channel (R1). The branch flow channel block bodies (31) are arranged on the both right and left sides to face each other by having the main flow channel block body (32) at the center.

Abstract: A navigation system includes an information storage unit that stores map data including fork pattern data. A retrieval device obtains fork information from the map data and retrieves the connection between an entrance lane and an exit lane and the number of lanes at an approaching fork. A fork schematic drawing generation device generates a schematic drawing of a approaching fork by a selecting a fork pattern based on the connection between the entrance and exit lanes and the number of lanes that have been retrieved.

Abstract: An image processing system having a data compressor for selectively compressing image data, data storage for selectively storing the compressed data from the data compressor, a page buffer for storing the compressed data to be stored into and read out of the data storage, a data decompressor for selectively decompressing the compressed image data back into its original form, and a controller for controlling the operation of the compressor, data storage, and decompressor, in either of two modes, a processing mode in which the image data is compressed by the compressor, stored in the data storage, and decompressed by the decompressor, and a through mode in which the image data bypasses the compressor, the data storage, and the decompressor. The controller selects one of the two modes based the number of original documents bearing the image data, the number of copies of the original documents requested by a user, and whether editing is to be performed on the image data.

Abstract: A system for automatically measuring a quantity of urine from a plurality of individuals is provided wherein a common urinal can act as both a receptacle for measuring urine from a designated patient and for exhausting the urine in the normal disposal system. A weight scale can measure the amount of urine when appropriate valves are activated as a result of the identification system that can recognize a badge on the individual. A computer system can store data on the quantity of urine measured and can activate valves to dispose of the measured urine.

Abstract: A method of inputting images in digital copying machines comprises the steps of reading image data stored in a storing unit upon occurrence of an input error, and displaying or printing the read image data for a plurality of pages on a display screen or a recording sheet in arrayed form. Accordingly, the operator, when informed of how far the document has been read/stored, can not only handle a complex operation easily and correctly, but also can examine any undesired images such as images obliquely read although not subjected to input errors.
