Abstract: A self-tapping including a normal thread (10) and a female screw molding thread (12) having a larger diameter than that of the normal thread (10), out of pitches of the normal thread (10) positioned in a head portion side from the female screw molding thread (12), any one pitch is set to be larger than other pitches. The self-tapping not only reduces driving torques but also improves fastening force, and thus can be applied to various workpieces made of the soft material as well as a hard material.

Abstract: [Object] To provide a self-tapping screw which is the most suitable for tightening a workpiece made of a soft material such as a resin or an aluminum alloy. [Solution] In the self-tapping screw 1 including a normal thread 10 and a female screw molding thread 12 having a larger diameter than that of the normal thread 10, out of pitches of the normal thread 10 positioned in a head portion side from the female screw molding thread 12, any one pitch is set to be larger than other pitches. The self-tapping screw 1 not only reduces driving torques but also improves fastening force, and thus can be applied to various workpieces made of the soft material as well as a hard material.

Abstract: A foldable portable terminal device provided with a first housing includes a display unit, a speaker and a speaker sound hole, a second housing, and a hinge unit that couples the housings rotatably around two directions that perpendicularly intersect with each other. The device is configured such that coupling of the first housing and the hinge unit is coupled to a second rotary shaft of the hinge unit at a position closer to a surface having the speaker sound hole than a midpoint in a cross-section in a thickness direction of the first housing, and that a gap formed in a folded state in which the first housing is overlaid on the second housing with a surface having the speaker sound hole facing inside is greater than a gap formed in the folded state with the surface having the speaker sound hole facing outside.

Abstract: To reduce the burden on a grader, as well as to improve design freedom. A grading terminal device body 1 is provided with a LCD 31 for identifying and displaying an area corresponding to an answer column to be graded among the answer columns provided on an answer sheet, a keyboard unit 33 for entering a grading result of an answer entered in the answer column corresponding to the area identified and displayed on the LCD 31, a printer section 50 for carrying in the answer sheet to print the grading result entered from the keyboard unit 33, followed by carrying-out thereof, and an arithmetic control section 65 responsible for operation control of the LCD 31, the keyboard unit 33, and the printer section 50.

Abstract: A check processing equipment having an optical amount character recognizing function for a proof machine used at a bank. A received amount can be corrected on an image screen, and it enables the efficient processing for certifying operation. A document capturing unit converts the data on the document into an image data and transfers the image data to a frame memory of recognizing unit. A recognizing unit compresses the image data through a recognizing/determining section and also carries out CAR with the attribute on an E13B code line data. A work station stores the compressed image data, the code line data, and the CAR result in a hard disk and it also displays an extended image and implements the proof of a whole batch through key-in operation for handling unrecognizable data and exceptional error data. An encoder unit performs encode printing and endorse printing on proved documents while verifying the code lines thereof.

Abstract: A conveyor apparatus used in a copying apparatus of the type using separate diffusion transfer photographic materials, and a photosensitive material in the form of a roller contained in a magazine which is withdrawn and cut to a predetermined length to form a photosensitive sheet. A latent image is created in the photosensitive sheet by exposing it using a light source, and an image-receiving material in the form of a sheet is superposed under the exposed photosensitive sheet. A positive image is formed on the image-receiving material using a diffusion transfer processing. The image-receiving sheet is withdrawn from a cassette wherein a stack of image-receiving sheets are contained.
