  • Patent number: 5612067
    Abstract: A molding apparatus for producing a synthetic resin molded product including a forming mold with a molding cavity, a gate communicating with the cavity, and an overflow chamber communicating with the cavity through a flow-out passage, a gas blow-in mechanism for blowing gas into molten synthetic resin which has been injected into the cavity through the gate so as to form a void in the molten synthetic resin in the cavity to mold a hollow product and a flow-out passage opening and closing mechanism for closing the flow-out passage until the molten resin fills the molding cavity and opening the flow-out passage when the gas blow-in mechanism is in operation.

  • Patent number: 5440340
    Abstract: A CRT measurement device includes an image pickup device for producing an electrical image signal with respect to a light image displayed on the CRT, an optical system having a movable focusing lens for providing a light image of varied sharpness to the image pickup means in accordance with position of the focusing lens, a sharpness detector for detecting the sharpness of a picked up image based on an electrical image signal each time the focusing lens is moved, a focal position detector for detecting a focal position of the focusing lens providing a most sharpness light image, a driver for driving the focusing lens so as to move to the detected focal position, and calculator means for calculating a characteristic of the color CRT based on the image signal produced when the focusing lens is at the focal position. This device assures automatic and accurate focusing.

  • Patent number: 4491980
    Abstract: A built in radio/hearing aid comprises a control voltage generator means which generates a control voltage depending on the level of a microphone signal of the hearing aid and a mixing control means which controls the ratio of the mixture of a radio signal from a radio signal generator and the microphone signal from a microphone in accordance with the level of the control voltage. Thus, the level of the radio signals is automatically changed in accordance with the level of circumstantial audio signals within the microphone signal.
