  • Patent number: 5179349
    Abstract: A start coincidence circuit of asynchronous signals has a short route in the synchronous control unit and operable at 10 ns (100 MHz). The start coincidence circuit of asynchronous signal employs a synchronous control unit (4) comprising a gate (11) for receiving a reference signal (6A), an FF (12) for receiving a synchronous signal (5), an FF (13) for receiving the synchronous signal (5) and an output of the gate (11), an FF (14) for receiving an output of the FF (12) and and a reference signal (6B), an FF (15) for receiving an output of the FF (12) and the reference signal (6B), a delay circuit (16) for receiving an output of the FF (13) and a gate (17) for receiving the output of the gate (11), an output of the delay circuit (16) and an output of the FF (15) supplying an output to R terminals of the FF (12), the FF (14) and the FF (15).

  • Patent number: 4389364
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a thick-and-thin fiber or fibers, wherein the fineness thereof changes gradually and periodically along the longitudinal direction thereof. The method comprises (1) a step wherein molten fiber forming polymer is extruded through spinneret holes at a constant throughput, (2) a step wherein the extruded filaments run through a short gaseous gap whose length is in the range of 0.1 to 6 millimeters before they plunge into liquid for abrupt solidification by cooling, (3) a step wherein the solidified undrawn filaments are touched by at least one vibrating substance before being withdrawn at a constant speed, (4) a step wherein the undrawn filaments are drawn by some roller systems, and (5) a step wherein the drawn filaments are thermally set.

  • Patent number: 4340631
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thick-and-thin fiber or fibers, wherein the fineness thereof changes gradually and periodically along the longitudinal direction thereof, and is characterized by (a) the thick-and-thin recurring length of five to 500 millimeters, (b) the thick-and-thin ratio of four to 50, (c) the average fineness of 0.05 to 2000 deniers, and (d) almost constant cross section areas at both the thick and the thin portions, respectively. Also disclosed is a thick-and-thin staple fiber or fibers formed therefrom by cutting the thick-and-thin fibers at a predetermined interval. Additionally, disclosed is a fabric made of the thick-and-thin fibers or staple fibers as a component thereof. Disclosed is a method to produce the thick-and-thin fibers comprising (1) a step wherein molten fiber forming polymer is extruded through spinneret holes at a constant throughput, (2) a step wherein the extruded filaments run through a short gaseous gap whose length is in the range of 0.

  • Patent number: 4169669
    Abstract: A film winding device for slide projectors of a type using strip films comprising a film housing case capable of being removably fitted to a projector body, a film guide guiding a projected film toward the film housing case, a leading ring mounted rotatably on the end portion of the film guide and capable of leading in the projected film at the tip so as to come to the outside within the film housing case and a roller means arranged so as to be able to positively feed the projected film even in the end portion into the film housing case, whereby the film having finished being projected can be housed successively into the film housing case so as to be projectable without being rewound. In this slide projector, the film to be projected can be easily taken at the tip to the position of the film guide by pushing a button.
