  • Publication number: 20060040401
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide an antiseptic-solution concentration measuring method and equipment for easy, simple, economical and accurate measurement of the concentration of a glutaral, phtharal or similar antiseptic solution. [Means for Solving Problem] The temperature of the antiseptic solution S, such as the glutaral or phtharal solution, is measured by a thermometer, and at the same time the ultraviolet absorbance of the antiseptic solution is electrically detected by a light-receiving part 9, then a function of proportionality between the measured ultraviolet absorbance of the antiseptic solution and pre-measured ultraviolet absorbance of an undiluted antiseptic solution and a function of proportionality between the ultraviolet absorbance and concentration of said undiluted antiseptic solution are calculated by a computer to measure the concentration of the antiseptic solution S.

  • Patent number: 6817537
    Abstract: A time card may have first and second card identifying sections disposed on opposite faces of the time card. The first card identifying section stores a most significant value of an identification of the time card, and the second card identifying section stores a least significant value of the card's identification. When combined to form a single value, the most and least significant values provide the time card identification. Also, a printing position indicator on the card identifies an initial printing position for the first and second card identifying sections to a time card recorder.

  • Patent number: 6765600
    Abstract: The present invention provides a time recorder with a card feed rate adjustment function making it possible to print data for arrival and departure times to and from a job side at a correct position within a print column by adjusting a feed rate for a time card according to extension or shrinkage of the time card or characteristics of the time card such as a printing state within the print column. An adjustment value is computed by reading a start point and an end point printed on a time card TA or TB inserted into the time recorder with the mark sensors 10, 11 and counting a feed rate for the time card TA or TB from the start point to the end point with the encoder sensor 12, and a feed rate for the car is adjusted according to the computed adjustment value.
