  • Publication number: 20230287605
    Abstract: A strand production apparatus configured to produce a fiber reinforced resin strand having one or a plurality of fiber bundles including reinforcing fibers includes a twisting unit, a resin bath unit, and a winding unit. The twisting unit rotates the one or the plurality of fiber bundles around an axis of the one or the plurality of fiber bundles to form one or a plurality of twisted fiber bundles. In the resin bath unit, the one or the plurality of twisted fiber bundles are impregnated with a molten resin to form a fiber reinforced resin strand. The winding unit winds the fiber reinforced resin strand. The twisting unit is disposed on an upstream side of the resin bath unit in a conveying direction of the one or the plurality of fiber bundles.

  • Patent number: 5901074
    Abstract: A calculation data display device includes a display which displays input calculation data in colors. When specified calculation data is input, the calculation data display device displays the calculation data input after the specified calculation data in a color different from a regular color. The calculation data displayed in the different color is operated as calculation data belonging to the specified calculation data. First, when the specified calculation data is input in the calculation data inputting process, the calculation data input after the specified calculation data is displayed in a color different from the regular one until the user inputs releasing data. When the input calculation data is operated, the data displayed in the color different from the regular one is operated as the data belonging to the specified data input immediately before the data displayed in the different color.

  • Patent number: 4875400
    Abstract: In preparing a musical tone by synthesizing tone waveforms from a plurality of tone waveform generators, touch response data representing parameters such as key depressing speed or string picking force is generated from a touch response data preparing unit. The obtained touch response data can be used to affect the musical tone. Touch curves can be independently designated to these tone waveform generators with a manually operating unit. A weighting device for modifying a touch curve by selecting loudness level and sensitivity is provided so that various touch curves can be attained from a single touch curve for weighting the musical tone.

  • Patent number: 4465579
    Abstract: A bipolar electrolytic cell has a plurality of unit cells electrically aligned in series, each of the unit cells being divided into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber by an ion-exchange membrane, and each of the anode and cathode chambers having a supply pipe and a discharge pipe which are respectively connected at one end to common headers. The other end of each of the supply or discharge pipes in the anode or cathode chambers is inserted deep into the respective electrode chamber so that at least 50% of the electrical resistance of the liquid in each pipe exists in the electrode chamber, and the wall of the inserted portion of each pipe electrically insulates the liquid in the pipe from a liquid in the electrode chamber.
