Abstract: Disclosed are an integrally molded type pallet fork (incomplete) with a safety pin and a roller table that are formed with high precision by a simple process, a thin escapement governor including the pallet fork (complete) and the roller table, and a method of manufacturing the pallet fork (complete) and the roller table.

Abstract: There is provided an ultrasonic motor whose vibration loss is suppressed, whose structure is miniaturized, whose production process is simplified and which is capable of utilizing electrical energy very efficiently. The inventive ultrasonic motor comprises a first piezoelectric body having a first polarized portion excited when voltage is applied and a second piezoelectric body that is laminated with the first piezoelectric body in a body in the longitudinal direction parallel to the polarizing direction and having a first polarized portion at position separated from the first polarized portion of the first piezoelectric body in the transverse direction vertical to the polarizing direction and moves a moving body by vibration obtained by combining stretching vibration and bending vibration caused by distortion in the polarizing direction of the first polarized portion of the first piezoelectric body and the first polarized portion of the second piezoelectric body.

Abstract: A viscoelastsicity measuring apparatus which includes a pair of sample holders, a sample clamping chuck, a detecting rod, a detecting rod support, a displacement detector, a force generator, a sine-wave generator, an amplifier and a heat source for heating the sample and which operates such that a sine-wave stress is induced in the sample and a strain generated in the sample due to the stress is detected so that the modulus of complex elasticity as a characteristic value of the viscoelasticity of the sample is measured on the basis of the amplitude of the stress and the phase difference between the stress and strain.

Abstract: A printer driving circuit for a printer having a printer head which is mounted to scan perpendicularly to a direction in which a sheet to be printed upon is fed, the printer head including a plurality of dot printing units arranged on the head so that the units are spaced from one another by respective separation distances in the direction of head scanning, the printer driving circuit includes: a detector for detecting the position of the head; a picture memory for storing print data associated with at least one scan by the printer head at addresses corresponding to printed pixel locations on the sheet; a position generator coupled with the detector for generating information related to respective positions of the printing units on the sheet; a read out device coupled with the detector for reading out the pixel data stored in the picture memory at addresses corresponding to the positions of the printing units relative to the sheet; a timing generator coupled with the position generator for generating a plural

Abstract: An ink jet recording apparatus composed of a housing having an ink cartridge receiving portion, an ink jet recording head in the housing having an ink jet nozzle for spraying ink drops, a head moving device for moving the recording head reciprocally, a paper feeder for feeding a paper sheet in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the head, an ink supplying cartridge inserted at the ink cartridge receiving portion for storing an ink, ink supplying tubes connected between the recording heads and the ink supplying cartridge when the ink supplying cartridge is inserted at the ink cartridge receiving portion, a capping device in the housing for capping the ink jet nozzle, a lock cartridge arranged to be inserted at the ink cartridge receiving portion instead of the ink supplying cartridge, a locking device for locking the head capping state of the capping device when the locking cartridge is inserted at the ink cartridge receiving portion.
