Abstract: A cable inspection device non-destructively inspects a cable used for supporting a bridge. The cable inspection device includes a neutron source and a neutron detection device. The neutron source emits neutrons to the cable. The neutron detection device includes a detection surface arranged outside the cable, and detects target neutrons and measures the number of the detected target neutrons when neutrons are emitted to the cable. The target neutrons are among the neutrons released from the cable and incident on the detection surface, and each have an energy equal to or lower than a predetermined value that is lower than an energy of a fast neutron.

Abstract: A compressed air-flow rate calculation method of the present disclosure includes storing, in a storage device, time series data of a compressed air-flow rate used in each of plurality of production facilities during an operation period, and performing simulation. Simulation includes generating, for each of the plurality of production facilities, time series data on the compressed air-flow rate in each of the production facilities during a prescribed period by acquiring from the storage device the time series data on the compressed air-flow rate in each of the production facilities during the operation period, whenever operation start timing is determined to have come in each of the production facilities. Time series data on the total compressed air-flow rate in the entire production line during the prescribed period is calculated by integrating the time series data on the compressed air-flow rate in each of plurality of production facilities during the prescribed period.

Abstract: A table has a substantially plate-like top plate, a pair of beams arranged side by side on the lower surface of the top plate and supporting and fixing the top plate, and supporting bodies arranged on the pair of beams so as to lie in the longitudinal direction of the pair of beams and supporting and fixing the pair. The supporting bodies have on the upper portion thereof a substantially horizontal pair of first placement surfaces and a pair of second placement surfaces extending from the first placement surfaces and inclined in the lateral direction of the beams. The beams each have a top plate supporting surface to which the top plate is fixed, a first bottom surface which is, at least in the area supported by the supporting bodies in the longitudinal direction, supported in a contacting manner by a first placement surface, and a second bottom surface extending from the first bottom surface, inclined, and supported in a contacting manner by a second placement surface.

Abstract: An electronic thermometer contains inside its main body not only a temperature detecting device and a display device for displaying the measured body temperature but also a buzzer for outputting a warning sound. The buzzer is formed with a piezoelectric plate on an oscillating plate, having an elongated shape and being securely supported only at mutually opposite end parts in its longitudinal direction, and these end parts remain fixed in the primary mode of oscillation. A resonance chamber is formed between the buzzer and its support structure. A buzzer cover, which serves to secure the buzzer by contacting it only at its end parts, also contacts the main body in a direction opposite from the support structure so as to propagate the buzzer oscillations to the main body.

Abstract: An apparatus for the processing and segmenting of a cover-forming laminate web or sheeting structure which is adapted to interconnect a plurality of containers, such as the base members of blister packages each of which is designed to contain a hydrophilic contact lens in a sterile aqueous solution. More specifically disclosed is an apparatus for the imprinting, perforating, slitting and cutting the laminated web structure such that the severed laminate segments constitute printed covering label for an array of such containers, and whereby the laminated web or sheeting segment may be severed along weakening or perforation lines so as to provide a separable packaging arrangement for individual of the containers which are subsequently adhered thereto.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for packaging products such as contact lenses in packages such as blister packs. The packaging arrangement includes an intermittently indexed, linearly driven endless conveyor which includes a plurality of identical support pallets, equally spaced apart along the endless conveyor. Each support pallet is designed to support and align an array of individual package bases. The arrangement is such that each support pallet with an array of individual package bases thereon is sequentially stopped at a plurality of spaced work stations along the endless conveyor.
