Abstract: A device includes a loosening room into which cooked rice is fed, an air blowing port which is configured to blow high-speed air toward the cooked rice in the loosening room; and a collecting room provided adjacent to the loosening room with a wall therebetween, the high-speed air is blown from the blowing port and is blown to the cooked rice in the loosening room such that the cooked rice is scatted and floated by blowing the air, and the cooked rice floating and moving over the wall is collected by the collecting room.

Abstract: A load weighting control apparatus that suppresses deterioration of a controlled object due to impacts or the like during control, and for which energy usage costs required for control are markedly reduced, and that has a simple structure and therefore inexpensive manufacturing costs and running costs. The apparatus includes a main vacuum cylinder provided with a cylinder tube, end walls, an air vent that passes through one end wall, a valve that is provided in the air vent and serves to open/tightly close the atmosphere inside of the cylinder tube to the outside, a piston that slides back and forth within the cylinder tube, and a piston rod that is linked to the piston and passes through the other end wall and an auxiliary vacuum cylinder that includes a slacking portion where a piston rod produces slackness in the main vacuum cylinder.

Abstract: A flat slot array antenna as composed of a waveguide having a rectangular sectional shape, and a power feeder means connected to the waveguide at a power feed opening. A plurality of wave radiation slots are formed within one of the metallic plates forming the waveguide. The length of each slot is progressively increased toward a terminal end of the power propagation within the space of the waveguide within a range which does not exceed the resonance length of the slot, and the distance between the slots is progressively reduced toward the terminal end of the waveguide.

Abstract: A pair of opposite metallic plates are disposed at an interval with respect to each other so as to form a wave guide space without side plates. A plurality of power radiating slots are formed within one of the metallic plates. A lens antenna is provided for forming a flat equiphase plane wave at the power feed opening of the wave guide space, so that the power is propagated within the wave guide space in the TE mode and radiated from the slots.

Abstract: A slot array antenna is composed of a rectangular waveguide formed by means of oppositely disposed plates and side plates, and a power feeder means connected to the rectangular waveguide at a power feed opening. A plurality of wave radiation slots are formed within one of the plates. The power feeder means is arranged such that two powers fed therein are changed into two plane waves, at the power feed opening, having two independent dominant modes. The slots comprise longitudinal slots extending in a longitudinal direction of the waveguide and lateral slots extending in a lateral direction of the waveguide so as to radiate two plates waves respectively.
