Abstract: A rotary atomizing head enables cleaning by decomposing from the atomizing head, and enables internal cleaning without decomposing to individual components when paint is changed to a new one of another color. A structural component has a front wall acting as a hub, side wall extending rearward from an outer circumferential perimeter of the front wall to make a circumferentially continuous plane, legs each having a pawl and a bottom wall. The structural component is detachably mounted in a central concavity of an atomizing head body. A bottom wall of the structural component has formed a spoon-cut recess. The central concavity has an inclined circumferential wall, and the side wall of the structural component has an inclined outer circumferential surface complementary with the circumferential wall of the atomizing head body to get in substantial contact with the circumferential wall throughout the entire area of the outer circumferential wall.

Abstract: Swimming goggles improved so that a visual line of a swimming goggles wearer may be easily directed forward during competitive swimming. Each lens of swimming goggles is divided into an intermediate section extending across the lens at a generally middle level as viewed in a vertical direction, an upper section lying above the intermediate section and a lower section lying below the intermediate section. The intermediate section presents a see-through clarity lower than those presented by the upper section and the lower section.

Abstract: An apparatus for replenishing paint into a paint cartridge (25), which is capable of putting paint in respiratory circulation while the cartridge is in a waiting state. The apparatus includes a replenishing valve (61) which is capable of feeding paint to and from a paint chamber (30) of the paint cartridge (25) which is set on a replenishing stool (52), and a respiratory paint circulation valve (91) which is capable of feeding paint-extruding thinner to and from a thinner chamber (31) of the cartridge. After switching the replenishing valve (61) to a drain or discharge side, paint-extruding thinner is supplied from the respiratory paint circulation valve (91) to push paint out of the paint chamber (30) of the cartridge (25). Then, after switching the replenishing valve (61) to the side of a paint supply source, paint-extruding thinner is discharged by way of the respiratory paint circulation valve (91) to suck paint into the paint chamber (30).

Abstract: The vector processor of the present invention is designed to have a first function for classifying, generating and storing in advance a separate index set by judging the attribute of specified data and a second function for continuously performing operand access only for the index value belonging to the specified index set out of the index sets generated by the first function, thus avoiding the deterioration of the efficiency of pipeline processing even when the calculation of array data has different operation content according to the attributes of the specified data. Accordingly it can perform continuous calculation of a plurality of different conditioned expressions at high speed by arranging it to operate the first and the second functions concurrently with the value resulting from the operation by the second function being used by the first function as a data for discriminating the attribute of the data.

Abstract: The invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus which comprises moving means which continuously moves the works that are transferred along a frame chute, and detector means which detects at least a portion of the work that is moved. The moving means is controlled by kind-of-work data and by a work position signal from the detector means, and the work is set to a predetermined position. Hence, even a work of a different kind can be set to an optimum bonding position without the need of exchanging the unit, making it possible to perform the operation fully automatically and to meet general purposes.Further, provision is made of means which moves the frame chute in a direction at right angles with the direction in which the work is moved, so that even that work that has different widths and shapes in the widthwise direction can be placed in position and subjected to the bonding fully automatically.

Abstract: In a one-chip high density arithmetic control unit capable of prefetching user's instructions from main memory, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) subtracts the contents of a location counter holding the address of the next instruction to be executed, from the contents of a memory address register holding an address into which data will be written. The difference is fed through the gates connected to the ALU for determining whether or not prefetched instructions will have to be refetched. An address matching mechanism provided outside the one-chip arithmetic control unit includes a comparator for comparing memory addresses to a preset execution stop address.

Abstract: A microprogrammed control system comprises: a memory for storing a microprogram programmed with microinstructions; a memory for storing microinstructions for branching microinstruction; an address register for storing the address of the microinstruction to be next executed; and a microinstruction register for storing the microinstruction to be executed.

In the case of non-branching microinstruction, the operation of ordinary microinstructions is executed. In the case of branching microinstruction, a special operation is executed for making the operation of the branching microinstruction equivalent to that of the ordinary microinstruction.
