Abstract: A battery pack short-circuit protection circuit and a method whereby fire damage etc. of a battery pack caused by short-circuiting of terminals by metal objects etc., which cannot be prevented simply by an over-current cut-off switch, can be reliably prevented. In a current path between a battery pack charging/discharging terminal of the battery pack and a battery cell in the battery pack, there is provided a switching circuit that effects opening and closing of the current path; a switch drive circuit is provided that drives the switching circuit; the switching circuit closes the current path only when a drive control signal is applied through a control terminal from the charging/discharging device or the main unit of the equipment.

Abstract: A terminal connecting device having an automatic data reception feature provides an interface between a radiotelephone and a data terminal device such as a facsimile machine without the need for modifying the specifications of the radiotelephone. By selecting an automatic data reception mode, a telephone subscriber may cause an incoming facsimile call to be engaged by the data terminal device without further subscriber intervention. The radiotelephone is connected to a communication network via a radio line and has connections for voice, call signaling information, and power. The radiotelephone includes switching means for selectively switching between a voice path and a data path, the latter being provided to the terminal connecting device.

Abstract: A radio telephone system such as a car telephone having a function of selectively allowing a party communicating with a user of the telephone system to transmit a voice signal to the user during a hold state set by the user. When a predetermined time elapses after a hold state is set by the user of the telephone system, the system allows the party to transmit a voice signal to the user even during the hold state.

Abstract: A car telephone equipment having an automatic calling function which can automatically call a destination party after passage of a specified time period or at a predetermined time. A telephone number of the party is stored in a dial number memory, a desired time period is set at a timer or a desired time is stored in a time register, so that a radio communication circuit is established between the telephone equipment and a base station to perform an automatic calling operation over the destination party telephone number stored in the dial number memory at the moment when the timer times out or when a time of a clock coincides with the time stored in the time register.

Abstract: A scroll type compressor, wherein the oil feeding passage of the thrust bearing to be interposed between the orbiting scroll member and the bearing support is so constructed as to having its terminal part within a plane of the thrust bearing, and a part of each of the passages is made to open at a position where it is intermittently communicating with the guide grooves of the orbiting scroll member.

Abstract: A scroll compressor comprises a driving scroll, a driven scroll combined with the driving scroll to be driven by the same through the mutual contact of the wrap plates of the both scrolls, a movable bearing support held in a sealing container so as to be movable in the axial and radial directions of the container. The movable bearing support supports the driven scroll so that the driven scroll is pushed in the radial direction of the container, whereby gaps formed between the wrap plates of the driving and driven scrolls can be avoided.

Abstract: A scroll compressor comprising a driving scroll and a driven scroll which is combined with the driving scroll and is driven by the driving scroll through an Oldham's coupling, a partition plate fixed to a container for housing the structural elements such as scrolls and having a supporting pin provided at a position near the inner wall of the container, a movable bearing support which is placed below the partition plate and is engaged with the supporting pin so as to be swingable around the supporting pin, and which supports the driven scroll through a bearing, and a rotation controlling structure which causes a swinging movement of the movable bearing support around the supporting pin along with a driven scroll whereby the distance between the axial centers of said driving and driven scrolls is changed.

Abstract: A scroll-type fluid transferring machine has stationary and oscillatable scroll members, each being provided with a base plate and a wrap plate projecting from a surface of the base plate, which are combined in such a manner that a plurality of compression chambers are formed by the surfaces of the base plates and wrap plates and a fluid contained in the chambers is transferred, compressed or expanded by the revolution of the oscillatable scroll member.

Abstract: A scroll-type compressor is disclosed which has a novel thrust bearing for supporting an orbiting scroll. The thrust bearing is annular and is supported by a bearing support frame which has a plurality of oil return holes formed therein. The diameter of the thrust bearing is smaller than the diameter of the orbiting scroll and of an Oldham coupling which guides the orbiting scroll. The thrust bearing has a plurality of oil passageways for lubricating oil formed therein whose inner ends open onto the central hole and whose outer ends communicate with the oil return holes and do not extend to the outer periphery of the bearing. The oil passageways are always covered by the orbiting scroll. In one form of the invention, the oil passageways are in the form of grooves formed in the upper surface of the bearing and through holes which communicate between the outer ends of the grooves and the oil return holes. In another form of the invention, the oil passageways are slits formed through the depth of the bearing.
