Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner, an interior unit for performing air-conditioning operation in a passenger compartment is disposed inside an instrument panel of the vehicle. A blower is disposed at a vehicle rear side in the interior unit, and a heat-exchanging member for performing a heat exchange with air is disposed in the interior unit at a vehicle front side of the blower. Because the blower and the heat-exchanging member are arranged in the vehicle front-rear direction, a vertical dimension of the interior unit can be made smaller.

Abstract: In a vehicle air conditioner, a case member of an inside/outside air switching portion is disposed at an approximate center in an interior unit in a vehicle width direction, to define an air passage extending in the vehicle width direction. An outside air suction port is provided in the case member, and first and second openings are opened in the case member at both side ends of the air passage in the vehicle width direction. One of the first and second openings is used as an inside air suction port, and the other one thereof is used as an outlet passage port. In addition, the outlet passage port of the case member is coupled to a suction port of a blower through a connection duct.

Abstract: A motor drives four final gears provided to four image recording units via a driving belt. Each of the image recording units corresponds to one of yellow, magenta, cyan and black. Each final gear is connected to a rotation axis of a toner feed roller via an electromagnetic clutch. If a black-and-white image is to be formed, only the electromagnetic clutch associated with the black image recording unit is connected, while the rest of the electromagnetic clutches are kept disconnected so that unnecessary image recording units are not driven. This arrangement improves the image quality and durability of the apparatus, and achieves a reliable color printing operation.

Abstract: In order to make a color image forming device compact in size, two color recording units are disposed in one side of an intermediate transfer body and another two color recording units are disposed in opposite side thereof. The two recording unit in each side are aligned vertically in close proximity to the intermediate transfer body which has a surface on which color toner image is deposited by the respective recording units. The toner image is then transferred onto and thermally fixed on an image recording medium.

Abstract: Apparatus for transferring a motor vehicle comprises a frame body, two pairs of slide forks, each holding front and rear wheels of a motor vehicle respectively and moving the motor vehicle, the two pairs of slide forks moving in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the frame body, the two pairs of slide forks having a first pair of slide forks positioned on the side of front wheels and a second pair of slide forks on the side of rear wheels in the frame body, a first adjusting device for adjusting a distance between the first pair of slide forks and the second pair of slide forks to be equal to a distance between a shaft of front wheels and a shaft of rear wheels, the first adjusting device being positioned on at least one side out of the side of front wheels and the side of rear wheels and moving at least one pair of slide forks in a longitudinal direction of the frame body, and a second adjusting device for adjusting a hold distance between slide forks forming each of the first pair of s

Abstract: A chromatic image recording apparatus comprises a gradation control member, an image reading member, a hue characteristics calculating member and a hue characteristics control member. In the chromatic image recording apparatus, the optimum exposing conditions of an original having a deviated color balance can be easily established. The output chromatic image of desired quality can be obtained, irrespective of any hue characteristics of the chromatic image on the original. When a brightness characteristics calculating member and a brightness characteristics control member replace the hue characteristics calculating member and the hue characteristics control member, the output chromatic image of desired quality can be obtained, irrespective of any brightness characteristics of the chromatic image on the original.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition capable of being disintegrated in an acidic environment, which comprises calcium polycarbophil and 1 to 80% by weight of a cellulose derivative such as carboxymethylcellulose or low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose based on the calcium polycarbophil.
