Abstract: An entrapment detection device of an opening/closing member which efficiently performs an entrapment determination and restrains an entrapment load even when a motor rotational signal is not inputted. The entrapment detection device includes a controller for performing the entrapment detection based on detected motor rotational signal cycle changes outputted from a motor rotation sensor which is synchronized with the movement of a motor for actuating an opening/closing member. The controller stores the cycle changes of a predetermined number of output pulses from the sensor, predetermines a standard cycle time Tb from the stored pulse output, and calculates a cycle coefficient of the entrapment. When the motor rotational speed is reduced, an entrapment detection operation is performed by comparing a value of time from a previous cycle change to a current cycle change multiplied by the calculated cycle coefficient with the standard cycle Tb.

Abstract: An open/close control device for a movable lid is of a highly precise position detection ability by using only a sensor which issues a pulse train in response to a motor rotation amount. When the open/close control device is in the form of a drive unit 3 which controls opening and closing a sunroof, the drive unit 3 includes a motor 3 which drives the sunroof and a control device 10 having a microcomputer 13. The microcomputer 13 is fed with two pulse train signals from two Hall-ICs, respectively. The signals are in proportion to the rotation number of the motor 4 but are different in phase. On the basis of the pulse train signals, the microcomputer 13 counts a position counter 13 for indication of current position of the sunroof in view of the motor rotation direction.

Abstract: In a mobile facsimile machine capable of sending and receiving messages through a transmitter and receiver, respectively, a first memory is provided for memorizing the identification of a sender when receiving signals. A second memory is provided for memorizing the position of the last signal received should communication be disconnected or disrupted during reception. A calling device automatically calls the sender using the identification in the first memory and sends the position of the signal at disruption from the second memory so the sender can retransmit from the point of disruption.

Abstract: An attitude control system for an antenna on a mobile body is comprised of a supporting device for supporting the antenna in such a manner that the antenna is rotatable and is movable in the vertical direction, a driving device for driving the antenna, an attitude change detecting device for detecting a speed of the attitude of the antenna relative to to the source of radio wave, a first control device for controlling the driving device in such a manner that the antenna is driven for cancelling the deviation between the resultant of the attitude change detecting device and a correcting value a receiving device for receiving radio wave which is connected to the antenna, a second control device for changing the attitude of the antenna toward higher receiving level derived from the receiving device and a drift correcting device for renewing the correcting value in such a manner that accumulated vector becomes zero which is the accumulation of a vector upon the changing of the attitude of the antenna.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing hydrogen of high purity from kerosene in petroleum oil. A feed of kerosene containing up to 1,000 wt.ppm of sulfur compounds is brought into contact with a nickel-containing sorbent at below 50 kg/cm.sup.2.G and at 150.degree.-350.degree. C. The resulting kerosene feed is further treated with a reforming catalyst under standard steam reforming conditions.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing hydrogen of high purity from hydrocarbons. A selected hydrocarbon feed is contacted with a nickel-containing sorbent of a specified composition at below 50 kg/cm.sup.2 G and at from 150.degree. to 500.degree. C. The hydrocarbon feed thus treated is further reformed with a catalyst of a specified composition.

Abstract: A secret communication control apparatus used to effect secret communication with communication equipment, for example, facsimile equipment, which transmits picture information by use of public communication lines. When a communication control code that is utilized to set a communication mode is to be transmitted, the intervention of the secret communication control apparatus in the communication is suspended by switching a change-over switch, so that the main body of the local communication equipment and the remote communication equipment perform direct transmission of the communication control code therebetween without passing it through the secret communication control apparatus. It is therefore possible to transmit the signal in the minimized time, that is, in the same way as in the case of ordinary, nonsecret communication.

Abstract: A data encripting transfer system includes a scanner for scanning an object to output an image signal, a data encripting device for encripting the image signal, and a data decoder for decoding the encripted image signal. The system further includes a card having the data encripting device and the data decoder, and a receiving device for receiving the card. The received card enables the data encripting device and the data decoder.

Abstract: Encoder/decoders are associated with conventional local and far-end communications equipment such as facsimile machines. Information to be faxed is encoded at one end, transmitted to the other end, and decoded, without affecting normal communications protocol or requiring other specialized equipment at either end. A secure information processing device is provided at each end, between the equipment and the communications line, and either encodes outgoing information or decodes incoming information, in accordance with a randomly generated key code, depending on whether the equipment at a particular end is transmitting or receiving a communication.

Abstract: A device for detecting a transmissivity of a substance utilizing a transmitted light value, which comprises a light emitting element and a photo detecting element. The light emitting element and the photo detecting element are spaced from each other at a predetermined distance so that a transmitted light value of a substance passing through the space is detected as an amount of light transmitted therethrough. The photo detecting element further comprises a photo oscillator circuit including the photo detecting element as one component thereof and outputs a signal having characteristics selected from a cycle and a frequency corresponding to the transmitted light value, and when the condition of a substance exceeds a predetermined reference level, such information is displayed at a display unit.
