Abstract: A foot pedal locking device for cargo-handling vehicles, for preventing cargo-handling equipment of the vehicle from starting if an operator accidentally steps on a foot pedal when getting off the vehicle. An operating means, when operated by the operator, works to move a restricting means on the basis of a detection signal from a detecting means for detecting the state of utilization of the cargo-handling vehicle, thus locking or unlocking the foot pedal. Furthermore, the foot pedal locking device has a restraining means which can be switched between a restraining position where the operator occupying a seat is restrained and a waiting position where the restraining means does not interfere with the operator when he gets on or off the seat. With the switching operation of this restraining means from the restraining position to the waiting position, a lock control means forcibly operates the restricting means regardless of the operation of the operating means, thereby locking the rotation of the foot pedal.

Abstract: A draw bar for a towing tractor includes a draw bar bracket mounted on a weight of the towing vehicle, a draw bar pin provided for axial movement in an insertion opening in the draw bar bracket, an actuating lever provided near a driver's seat of the towing tractor, and a link unit interconnecting the actuating lever and the draw bar pin for shifting the draw bar pin on actuation of the actuating lever. The link unit is provided in the weight through an opening formed in the vicinity of the draw bar bracket of the weight and an opening formed in the vicinity of the actuating lever.

Abstract: An electron cyclotron resonance ion source for an ion implanter. The source includes an ionization chamber surrounded along its length by an electromagnet. A number of extraction electrodes at an output end of the ionization chamber allow positively charged oxygen ions to pass through apertures in the electrodes. The uniformity of the axially aligned magnetic field in the ionization chamber is extended through the extraction electrode by a magnetically permeable electrode and through use of non-magnetically permeable material to mount others of said electrodes.

Abstract: In a microwave ion source utilizing a microwave and a magnetic field, a microwave introducing window has a multilayer structure of plates with different dielectric constants, a magnetic circuit is arranged to generate a magnetic field having a higher intensity than that defined by ECR (Electron Cyclotron Resonance) conditions so as to form a narrow high-density plasma, an ion extraction electrode has an ion extraction window whose contour falls within a center region of the narrow high-density plasma.

Abstract: A phase shifter for adding a deterministic phase to an original information to be recorded in hologram. The phase shifter consists of a number of unit cells arranged in a matrix. A set of the unit cells are provided which will cause a certain phase shift to a light passing through each kind of the unit cells so as to distribute the light irradiance of the original information more evenly over the Fourier transformed plane. The invention suggests a solution to make the phase shifter with the unit cells arranged by the deterministic phase distribution.
