Abstract: A transfer line (L) is formed by a first conveyer (C1) and a second conveyer (C2) which are disposed in parallel to each other for transferring a pallet, a first traverser (T1) for transporting the pallet (P) from a terminal end of the first conveyer (C1) to a start end of the second conveyer (C2), and a second traverser (T2) for transporting the pallet (P) from a terminal end of the second conveyer (C2) to a start end of the first conveyer (C1). The first and second conveyers (C1 and C2) are operable to drive main drive rollers (22) provided at start ends of the conveyers by bringing the rollers into abutment against side surfaces of rearmost pallets (P) in the advancing direction, thereby urging and collectively driving a plurality of pallets (P) which are connected together forwardly of the rearmost pallets (P) in a state in contact with the rearmost pallets. This enables the length of the transfer line (L) to be changed as desired without modification of a drive device for the pallet (P).

Abstract: A multiplexing system utilizes the whole transmission bandwidth without inducing interchannel interference for a linear channel with additive noise. Using the multiplexing system, the linear distortion channel is decomposed into independent linear distortion subchannels. Treating z-transforms as polynomials, a multiplexer at a receiver utilizes the Chinese remainder procedure to combine subchannel signals into a multiplexed signal to be transmitted through a single transmission channel. A demultiplexer at a receiver recovers the transmitted subchannel signals by taking residue polynomials on the factor polynomials used in the Chinese remainder procedure. The multiplexer that combines M subchannel signals of length K may be implemented by K M-point IFFT processors using 1−ej2&pgr;m/Mz−K (m=0 to M−1) as relatively prime polynomials required in the Chinese remainder procedure.

Abstract: A vortex flow meter includes a vibration sensing element having a sensor responsive to an external vibration and a sensor responsive to a vortex train at vertically opposite ends thereof. The sensing element is fixed to a conduit fulcrumed at an intermediate portion thereof. A vortex shedding member is integrally and oscillatably mounted in a lower portion of the sensing element. The flow meter can be assembled merely by being positioned in the conduit and, due to an integral structure, it is effectively applicable even to small diameter conduits through which fluids flow at very small flow rates. In a path along which leads from a sensor responsive to pressure variations due to vortex trains are routed to a transducer box, vibration of the transducer box is prevented from reaching the sensor via the leads, thereby rendering the flow meter less susceptive to externally derived vibrations.
