Abstract: A symbol synchronous device is provided that can maintain symbol synchronization in short time in response to synchronous signals. The symbol synchronous device receives a synchronous signal at a signal point with a different phase degree, the synchronous signal in which the phase rotational direction is reversed to said carrier, and then produces a decision timing in synchronous with a symbol of said digital-modulated signal. The differential output unit 9 and the decision unit 10 detect the reverse timing based on the phase angle &dgr; of a digital-modulated signal with respect to the reference frequency signal. The phase angle is produced by the phase angle calculation unit 8. The XOR integration digital PLL 11 produces clock signals in synchronous with the reverse timing to provide the decision timing.

Abstract: An optical printer including a fluorescent light-emitting tube equipped with an anode in a form of dot and a rotatable rotating filter part equipped with filters R, G, B. A film is moved relative to the optical printer set at a given position. A controlling means rotates the rotating filter part, and, in synchronization with that, the fluorescent light-emitting tube is made to emit light by the image signal of every color of red, green and blue. The image can be formed by moving the film one time relative to irradiation with the light in a state of a dot transmitted selectively through each filter of red, green and blue. Since the head is fixed and the film is moved, room for the movement of the head which has been conventionally required is not required. Spatial room for the slide of the filter is not required differently from the slide-switching type-filter of the conventional art.

Abstract: An abnormal mold detector is provided that can previously detect the breakage of a mold tool with an ejector plate. A pressure sensor is attached to the ejector pin of a mold to detect the mold internal pressure. The operation status of the mold is detected by the sensor attached to the mold piece of the mold. An abnormality detector, formed of a CPU, processes the detected pressure signal and the mold working state indicating signal. The abnormality detector sets a reference value D exceeding a normal sticking resistance of the ejector pin. As a material is injected, the mold internal pressure increases during one cycle (A and B) in the molding step. After the molding process, the ejection process is carried out by the ejector pin during the value C. When a sticking resistance exceeding the value D is confirmed during the monitoring operation (FF), the abnormality detector decides that there may be the possibility that an abnormal state occurs in the mold tool.

Abstract: A filament core wire capable of being mounted while having tension at a predetermined level applied thereto without an expensive anchor and without applying unnecessary tension thereto. The filament core wire is provided at a part thereof with spring and welded sections. The sections each are covered with a heat-decomposable block element made of acrylic resin or the like. Also, the core wire has a carbonate deposited thereon. The core wire is mounted on a mounting position by removing the block element from the welded section of the wire arranged on the fixing position by heating and then welding the welded section to a fixing spot of the fixing position. Then, block element is removed from the spring section by heating. This permits the filament core wire to be stretchedly arranged at the mounting position while keeping tension applied to the core wire to provide it with elasticity.
