Abstract: A method for metered supply of a delivered material to the next step, which method is characterized by regulating the thickness of the material on a conveyor before the material in the process of transfer on the conveyor from the incoming end thereof to the outgoing end thereof reaches the outgoing end, removing portions of a prescribed amount one at a time from the upper side part of the material by means of a scraping member adapted to cut into the upper side part of the material causing the removed portions of the upper side part of the material to be discharged past the outgoing end of the conveyor by means of the scraping member and, at the same time, causing the lower side part of the material discharged into by the scraping member to be discharged past the outgoing end by means of the conveyor, and an apparatus therefor.

Abstract: A surface is probed with a pulsed electron beam and secondary electrons are detected to produce a detector signal. First portions of the detector signal are substantially dependent on the voltage of the surface being probed, while second portions of the detector signal are substantially independent of the voltage of the surface being probed. In general, the first and second portions of the detector signal include unwanted noise caused by low-level sampling due to beam leakage and/or by scintillator afterglow in the secondary-electron detector. The detector signal is sampled during the first signal portions and is sampled during the second signal portions. The sampled first signal portions are combined with the complement of the sampled second signal portions to produce a measured voltage signal representing voltage of the conductor. In a preferred sampling scheme, alternate electron-beam sampling pulses are held-off.

Abstract: A method for the production of an acrylate by the neutralization reaction of acrylic acid and a basic substance, comprising sequentially (A) a step of supplying acrylic acid and said basic substance to water thereby subjecting them to a neutralization reaction while constantly retaining the neutralization ratio of acrylic acid within the neutralization reaction system in the range of 75 to 100 mol %, (B) a step of adjusting the neutralization ratio of acrylic acid within said neutralization reaction system in the range of 100.1 to 110 mol % by supplying said basic substance to said neutralization reaction system, (C) a step of retaining the neutralization ratio of acrylic acid within said neutralization reaction system in the range of 100.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having an assist air supply device for finely dividing injected fuel and an exhaust gas recirculation device for selectively circulating an exhaust gas from an exhaust passage into an air intake passage. In this internal combustion engine, a swirl operation for a lean burn during a low load on the engine and a non-swirl operation for a burn based on a theoretical air-fuel ratio can be selectively switched between such operations. In the non-swirl operation, the supply of an assist air and the recirculation of a large amount of an exhaust gas are carried out. This makes it possible to reduce both specific consumption of fuel and the amount of NO.sub.x in the exhaust gas over the entire operational region of the engine.

Abstract: A brushless dc motor comprising a stator, and a rotor incorporating a hollow cylindrical permanent magnet. The rotor magnet has sectors magnetized radially in opposite directions to define poles of opposite polarity extending around the circumference of the magnet. The magnet is completely magnetized so as to leave no non-magnetized sectors between the poles of the magnet. The magnet has grooves in its surface facing the stator, the grooves extending in the longitudinal direction of the magnet. Each groove is offset from, or non-symmetrical with respect to, the center of the rotor pole in which it is located.

Abstract: A paper sheet bundle processing apparatus. The apparatus receives a bundle of sheaves bound with large bands. Each sheaf within the bundle is bound with a small band. The bundle is moved to a band removing section where the large bands are removed. The bundle is then moved to a sheaf extracting section where each sheaf is extracted from the bundle one at a time. A band removing apparatus removes the small band from each sheaf thus allowing the paper sheets to be removed individually.

Abstract: A paper sheet processing apparatus for removing a strap from a sheaf formed by bundling a number of paper sheets with the strap. The paper sheet processing apparatus includes a strap cutter for cutting the strap of the sheaf, a strap scraping unit for penetrating between the paper sheets and the strap after the strap has been cut by the strap cutter and scraping out the strap from the sheaf, and separating unit for completely separating the strap from the sheaf. This paper sheet processing apparatus can be provided for sheaves of paper sheets and can execute a guaranteed removal of the strap which has been cut.

Abstract: Uninspected bundles of paper sheets are supplied to each of a plurality of pre-processors in units of bundles. Each pre-processor removes a band from the uninspected bundle, prints a serial number in association with the received paper sheets on the band, and holds the band. A number of reusable paper sheets from which the band is removed are counted by and stored in a corresponding inspection device. Each inspection device stores the serial number printed on the band by the preprocessor. In each inspection device, the paper sheets to be re-inspected are sorted by a separator card in units of bundles and stored as rejectable notes in a rejectable note cassette. A center console receives data such as a count result, band number, cassette number, card number, and the like, from each inspection device, and sequentially stores these data in units of inspection devices.
