Abstract: Provided are an overcurrent protection device and an overcurrent protection system which can provide time differences among the timings for executing the retry operations among a plurality of overcurrent protection devices connected to a common power supply. When a battery voltage (VBA) becomes a value equal to or lower than a threshold voltage after an FET (Q1) of an IC circuit (51-1) is turned on, all FETs (Q1) of the respective IC circuits are turned off, and a time until the battery voltage (VBA) reduces to a value lower than a threshold voltage after the turning-on of the FET (Q1) is clocked. When the time is smaller than 400 ?sec, the count value N is incremented. Further, turning-on of the FETs (Q1) is repeated after the lapse of the standby time (Tp) set randomly. When the count value N reaches 7, the FET (Q1) of the IC circuit 51-1 is held in the turned-off state.

Abstract: A method of detecting an abnormal electric current in a vehicle to detect passage of an abnormal electric current through an electric wire for establishing the connection between a load to which electric power is supplied and a power source, the method of detecting an abnormal electric current in a vehicle comprising the steps of: (a) detecting values of electric currents which pass through the electric wire at predetermined sampling intervals; (b) counting the number of times in a unit detection period that a sampled electric current having a value larger than a predetermined value is detected and determining passage of an abnormal electric current through the electric wire when the number of counts is larger than a first number of times; and (c) counting the number of times that a sampled electric current having a value larger than the predetermined value is detected in a unit detection period after the unit detection period in terms of time in a case where the number of counts is smaller than the first num

Abstract: A wire-protecting apparatus for automobiles in which at least one power-supplying lead for supplying an electric power to a load has at least one PTC element inserted in series with the power-supplying lead. The PTC element exhibits a high resistance at temperatures higher than a predetermined value when an overcurrent greater than a predetermined value flows through the load, thereby substantially shutting off the electric power to the load.

Abstract: A centrifugal tumbling granulating-coating apparatus has a rotary disk rotated in the horizontal direction and a stator provided at an outer peripheral position of the rotary disk at a predetermined internal from the rotary disk. The rotary disk is formed therein with a peripheral edge portion having a circularly arcuate-shaped vertical cross-section erected from a flat bottom surface portion and curved upwardly. In the rotary disk, a height (H) from the bottom surface portion to an outer peripheral end is set at a value within a range of 0.30R.ltoreq.H.ltoreq.R to a radius of curvature (R) of the peripheral edge portion, a width (W) of the peripheral edge portion is set at a value within a range of 0.07D.ltoreq.W.ltoreq.0.25D to a diameter (D) of the rotary disk and the radius of curvature (R) of the peripheral edge portion is set at a value within a range of 0.10D.ltoreq.R.ltoreq.0.25D to the diameter (D). A powder contact portion of the stator is formed substantially vertically.

Abstract: An apparatus for granulation and coating, wherein a rotary disk 2 provided at a bottom portion of a granulating vessel 1 is rotated for particles to centrifugally tumble on the rotary disk 2, while a powder material and a binder liquid are supplied into the granulating vessel 1. A position of a surface of a particle layer M in the granulating vessel 1 is detected by a sensor 18, to automatically adjust a position of a binder liquid supply port of a spray nozzle 13 in accordance with the detection signal informing of a change in the surface of the particle layer M.

Abstract: A coating apparatus using jet air streams, wherein a spray nozzle (2) of the coating apparatus includes: a powder blow-out path (4) provided in an axially central portion of the main body (3) of the nozzle; a coating liquid blow-out path (5) annularly formed on the outer periphery of the powder blow-out path (4); and a compressed air blow-out path (6) having a taper-shaped outlet portion and annularly formed on the outer periphery of the coating liquid blow-out path (5).

Abstract: A method of manufacturing seamless capsules, wherein multi-layer liquid flow is blown out of a multiple nozzle to form multi-layer droplets which are brought into contact with hardening liquid to be solidified to thereby manufacture the seamless capsules SC and an apparatus therefor. A groove having U-shaped section for supplying the hardening liquid and the multi-layer droplets is orientated in a direction tangent to a circular section of a hardening vessel in the hardening vessel and a helical flow is formed in the hardening liquid in the hardening vessel, whereby the multi-layer droplets are fallen, moving helically in the hardening vessel.

Abstract: An electrical junction box comprising a connector receiving portion formed on an upper surface of the electrical junction box for receiving a connector connected at an end of a wire harness. Thus, the connecting work of the connector to the electrical junction box can be easily carried out without requiring the operator is to grasp the electrical junction box. Accordingly, complete connection of the connector may be ensured.
