Abstract: An apparatus of feeding mailpieces such as envelopes is disclosed. The apparatus includes a supply conveyer for supporting thereon an array of mailpieces which are arranged in a tilted-backward position and moving such mailpieces forward, and a suction feeder which is located downstream of the supply conveyer for picking up by suction a forefront mailpiece from the array of mailpieces on the supply conveyer. The suction feeder has a rotary drum, a shaft rotatably supported in the drum and disposed with the axis thereof oriented in parallel to and offset from the axis of the drum. An external gear is fixed on the shaft for rotation therewith and a stationary internal gear engages with the external gear, the gear ratio of the external gear to the internal gear being n:n+1, wherein n represents an integer.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus of inserting insert or enclosure material into successive envelopes are disclosed. According to the envelope inserting method, the insert material is conveyed along a straight path successively to an envelope inserting position where the insert material is inserted into the envelope and the stuffed envelope is then conveyed out of the inserting position in the same direction as the above straight path. The method includes providing immediately above the envelope inserting position an envelope storage station where a plurality of envelopes are stored in a stack one above another with the front panel of each of the envelopes facing upward so that the envelopes in the storage station are fed successively to the envelope inserting position for insertion thereinto of insert material.

Abstract: In a SOHC type internal combustion engine having a single camshaft, a fuel injector is provided for directly injecting a fuel into a combustion chamber, and an intake port is provided such that one end of the intake port is open at intake openings to the combustion chamber. The intake port extends toward the top face of a cylinder head between the camshaft and two intake valves, such that at least a part of the intake port passes through a region between the shortest lines connecting respective head portions of the intake valves and the camshaft.

Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a BiCMOS semiconductor device including bipolar transistors and MOS transistors, a thin gate oxide film is formed on a principal surface of a semiconductor substrate, and a first polysilicon film is formed on the thin gate oxide film. This first polysilicon film is selectively removed from a bipolar transistor formation area, and impurities are introduced into a principal surface region of a semiconductor substrate through only the thin gate oxide film so that a collector region is formed in the semiconductor substrate in the bipolar transistor formation area, and a base region is formed in the collector region, Therefore, a second polysilicon film is formed on the whole surface, and the second polysilicon film and the underlying thin gate oxide film are removed from an emitter formation area within the base region.

Abstract: A multi-color marker editing system for editing a color image by reading a designated marker. The multi-color marker editing system includes an image reading unit for reading color image data, a color-coordinate converting unit for converting the read image data into color data in a color coordinate system defined by optical density, hue and saturation, a color detecting unit for detecting a designated marker color from the read color image data, an image density converting unit for converting a density of the detected marker color image data, and a marker editing unit for making a marker color editing for each color to the density-converted marker color image data.

Abstract: A image edit apparatus in which area data of 16-bit width have been stored at the memory locations of the corresponding addresses of the respective memory planes of a plane memory 403. The operation of reading area data therefrom by a pseudo sync signal starts before a line sync signal becomes active. A density-conversion/area generating circuit 405 converts the data format from the plane type to the pixel type, so that area commands are generated. Then, the circuit 405 reads an edit command out of a logic RAM, using the area command as address, and outputs the command. By reading the area data earlier and processing that data, a delay in the density-conversion/area generating circuit can be absorbed, so that the output edit command is synchronized with the image data.

Abstract: An oxidizable metal film and a barrier metal film are formed in the named order on an insulating film formed on a semiconductor substrate or in a contact hole formed through the insulating film. A gold film is selectively formed on the barrier metal film in alignment with the contact hole. The barrier metal is selectively removed using the gold film as a mask, and an exposed surface of the oxidizable metal film is oxidized. A second metal film is deposited on only a surface of the gold film by an electroplating using the oxidized surface of the oxidizable metal film as an anti-plating mask. Finally, the oxidizable metal film not covered by the gold film is completely oxidized.

Abstract: A handy bookbinder comprises at least one cover and a spine member. The spine member is formed with an adhesive face at one surface thereof. The spine member may or may not be attached to the cover at one side portion of its adhesive face. In the case where the spine member is attached to the cover, for use, sheets of paper to be held together are placed on the cover, and the spine member is bent and attached to one side of the whole of the sheets, and is attached to the uppermost sheet. Thus, the sheets are held together very easily as if a book were bound. If it is desired to add a new sheet or sheets to the book or to remove one or more of the existing sheets, the spine member may be stripped from the cover or the last sheet and the foregoing one side of the whole of the sheets. After the desired addition or removal, the book can be rebound in the same manner as described above.

It comprises a shielding plate slidingly contacted at its front end with one surface of the plywood, a light source provided at one side of the shielding plate, and an optical fiber provided at the other side of the shielding plate, the optical fiber being disposed such that one end thereof slidingly contacts the plywood surface together with the shielding plate and the other end thereof faces toward a light detector.

Abstract: A veneer reeling unit in a device for reeling veneer is provided. The unit comprises a rotatable reeling roll disposed in parallel to the grain of veneer sheet to be wound thereon, thread storage member which contains a winding of thread of a required length for supplying said thread during reeling operation and re-collecting said thread after said operation, and thread guiding member which is adapted to guide said thread supplied from the said storage member so that the thread may be wound together with the veneer round the periphery of said reeling roll in such a way that the former may guide and support the latter. The use of this unit in reeling device can make possible smooth reeling of veneer sheets of various shapes and widths.

Abstract: Rotary piston engine includes a substantially triangular rotor formed with flank cooling oil passages located behind flanks of the rotor. The rotor further has coolant oil passages behind the oil seals at the opposite side surfaces thereof. The flank cooling oil passages are supplied with cooling oil only when the rotor temperature or engine speed is beyond a predetermined value, while the oil seal cooling passages are always supplied with cooling oil so that the rotor flanks can be maintained at a high temperature while preventing the oil seals from being excessively heated.
