Abstract: When a rotation frequency of a rotary shaft 2 is not more than a predetermined value, a clutch 7 connects the gearing systems 6 and 8 with each other. Then, the rotation from the rotary shaft 2 is accelerated through the gearing system 6, clutch 7, and gearing system 8, and is transmitted to the rotary shaft 4. At this point, a freewheel clutch 5 disconnects the rotary shafts 2 and 4 from each other. On the other hand, when the rotation frequency of the rotary shaft 2 surpasses the predetermined value, the clutch 7 disconnects the gearing systems 6 and 8 from each other. Then, the rotation frequency of the rotary shaft 4 drops. When the rotation frequency of the rotary shaft 2 equals that of the rotary shaft 4, the freewheel clutch 5 connects the rotary shafts 2 and 4 with each other, thereby transmitting the rotation from the rotary shaft 2 as it is to the rotary shaft 4 via the freewheel clutch 5.

Abstract: Data concerning a transfer pattern of lamination transparent film is not externally sent and stored in a memory but generated by a random pattern generating module of a color controlling DSP 22. A random number generating section 23a generates a pseudorandom number for each dot of one line; a tone data obtaining section 23b obtains tone data corresponding to the pseudorandom number; and a transferring section 23c transfers the tone data to a head signal converting ASIC 24. Tone data for each dot of one line is alternately written in line buffers 1 and 2. Using the tone data written in the line buffers 1 and 2, a thermal head 130 transfers transparent film 120F.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a linear actuator in which reliability is improved, and performance is also easily improved. The present invention provides a linear actuator including a stator, a movable element having an iron member, and being reciprocatable with respect to the stator, a permanent magnet fixed to the stator so as to be opposed to the iron member, and a coil fixed to the stator. Because both the coil and the permanent magnet are fixed to the stator, electrical current does not have to be supplied to the movable element, and the feeder lines connected to the coil will not be broken due to the movement of the movable element. In addition, the weight of the movable element will not be increased even when the weigh of the permanent magnet is increased in order to obtain high magnetic flux density for improvement in performance. Moreover, because the movable element does not include a magnet, a magnetizing operation does not have to be applied to the movable element.
