Abstract: A cavity insert device comprising an insert section capable of being inserted into tracts and cavities, a detection circuit for detecting conditions of components making up the device, such as an observation device formed at the distal end side of the insert section, and a fuzzy inference section for synthetically determining a plurality of information signals outputted from the detection circuit and producing control signals to control the components. The fuzzy inference section employs inference rules which are empirically considered to be desirable, and control is made by the control signals obtained with the fuzzy inference. The device is thus operated in a nearly optimum state.

Abstract: In a fixer replenishing device employed in an automatic processor, a hardening agent is diluted with water and then mixed with a fixing agent. Since the hardening agent is not directly mixed with the fixing agent, no crystals are deposited.

Abstract: This invention relates to a connecting structure for electrically connecting an electronic part such as an LSI chip to a substrate, its production method and an electronic device using the former. The present invention is particularly useful for connecting electrically a plurality of chips, for which an absorption function of the difference of thermal expansion in a horizontal direction and capability of displacement in a vertical direction are requisite, to a substrate. Moreover, the connecting structure of the present invention can simplify the fabrication process, has high reliability and can be applied to high performance electronic appliances and apparatuses such as electronic computers.

Abstract: A supersonic hyperthermia treating method comprises the steps of inserting a heat generating member having a high attenuation for supersonic waves into a diseased part in a body and leaving it there, then transmitting supersonic waves generated outside of the body from a supersonic wave generator for heating the heat generating member to hyperthermically treat the diseased part.

Abstract: A ultrasonic therapeutical apparatus comprises a plurality of ultrasonic vibrators which are disposed in a plurality of concentric circular rows and defining a ultrasonic shock wave generator. The apparatus also includes control means for independently controlling the frequency and the phase with which the ultrasonic vibrators in the respective raws are driven as well as the output levels thereof, thereby allowing only a positive pressure of the resultant ultrasonic wave to be increased while suppressing a negative pressure thereof to eliminate a cavitation effect.

Abstract: In a probe for observing an ultrasonic image, which obtains the ultrasonic image of an object to be observed such as a body cavity by means of an ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means, a mechanical scanning operation of the ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means is performed by an ultrasonic driving means, and thus it is possible to obtain a good diagnosis image with no distortion and no flicker because noises of the driving means can be reduced.Therefore, an ultrasonic endoscope system and an ultrasonic video endoscope system etc. which utilize the probe mentioned above can display a good ultrasonic image and a good optical image.

Abstract: A device for venting fumes given off by an automatic developing system which includes a developing tank, a fixing tank and a cleansing tank. The device includes a cover for airtight placement over the system and a suction case provided on the inner surface of the cover. The suction case has pores directed toward the developing tank and the fixing tank. Fumes in the system are collected, under suction, through the pores.

Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a siphon tapping tube onto a tap hole mounting part of a converter vessel has a lower car and an upper car, which are placed on a ladle car which travels beneath a converter vessel, the lower car and the upper car being capable of travelling in the direction of the travel of the ladle car and in the direction perpendicular to that of the travel of the ladle car, respectively, a loading table mounted on the upper car, which is guided by an upright support frame and being capable of moving upward and downward with a siphon tapping tube loaded on the table, and bolt tightening and untightening units which are provided on the loading table in positions corresponding to the respective bolt hole set positions in the flange of the siphon tapping tube and are capable of receiving mounting bolts. TV camera is provided on the upper car, allowing the operator to monitor the tap hole mounting part.

Abstract: A circuit board including resistors on one surface of a board or substrate having through hole conductors arranged in a lattice like fashion. At least one electrode is formed on a surface of the resistors, at least one electrode being formed by removing a portion of a surface of the board or substrate coaxially with the through hole conductors thereby forming substantially disk-shaped resistors.

Abstract: In connecting an electronic circuit part such as a semiconductor or other part to a substrate for mounting the part with solder, the solder is composed of a high-melting-point solder portion which is subjected to working such as rolling and heat treatment in order to break the cast structure thereof, and a smaller volume of low-melting-point solder portions. The high-melting-point solder portion is connected to both the electronic circuit substrate and the electronic circuit part through the low-point-melting solder portions.This method enables interconnection between objects to be connected without impairing the high ductility and toughness of the high-melting-point solder which is subjected to working and heat treatment. This soldering method ensures highly reliable manufacture of miniaturized high density circuits, such as LSI.

Abstract: Continuous casting facilities generally including a pair of moulds with a rail on each side thereof. Self-propelled tundish cars each carrying a tundish with a detachable immersion nozzle ride on the rails. The apparatus includes a truck running on the rail opposite the operator's side of the moulds connectable with one of the tundish cars and carrying an immersion nozzle exchanger. A connecting piece feeder, a powder feeder, and an immersion nozzle preheater are also mountable on the truck. Equipment interferences are eliminated by the specific structures and the operator's view of the moulds is not obstructed.
