Abstract: A panel structure includes: a sheet-shaped core member having a thermoplastic property and provided with a plurality of protruding portions in at least one surface; a sheet-shaped faceplate having a thermoplastic property and disposed on the plurality of protruding portions; and a fusing portion which is selectively formed between the faceplate and the plurality of protruding portions and which bonds the core member and the faceplate to each other.

Abstract: A parallel processing system has a plurality of subsystems connected to each other to operate as a single system. The subsystems each include a variety of procedures that are selectively created, used, updated and deleted by a program in execution. A procedure management unit is capable of controlling state attributes of the procedures. In particular, the procedure management unit has a procedure-being-used table for cataloging the names of procedures currently being used by programs in execution and a procedure-being-updated table for cataloging the names of procedures currently being created or updated by programs in execution. Whether or not the name of a procedure is cataloged in the procedure being used table, a request to use the procedure is granted if the procedure name is not cataloged in the procedure being updated table.

Abstract: A film counter for use with a portable cine-camera capable of selectively using two types of cartridges, respectively, containing photographic films of different lengths. The film counter comprises a cartridge detection mechanism having a detection lever which is operated only when one of the two types of cartridges is loaded in the camera. A gear train assembly is provided for driving a counter indicator at a speed ratio corresponding to the length of the photographic film. The gear train assembly is switched between first and second speed ratios under control of the detection lever. The detection lever also controls a counter indicator by switching the numbers displayed on the counter indicator to a group of numbers suitable for the film length in the type of cartridge loaded in the camera.

Abstract: The invention discloses a cinecamera capable of synchronous recording wherein a swingable arm carrying a pinch roller at one end thereof is operatively coupled to a shutter release locking lever in such a manner that when the lever is placed in the shutter release locking position for preventing shooting, the pinch roller may be moved away from a capstan by a sufficient distance to permit the smooth loading and unloading of a film cartridge, but when the lever is switched to the release position for permitting the shooting the arm may be swung to displace the pinch roller to a position very closely spaced from the capstan. The construction of the cinecamera may be remarkably simplified as compared with the conventional cinecameras wherein the pinch roller arm is operatively coupled to the cover or lid of the camera.

Abstract: A movie camera of the kind adapted for simultaneous motion picture and magnetic sound recording on a film in a cartridge, in which sound recording means including a magnetic recording head and a capstan are disposed in the camera body, and a swingable lever carrying sound recording means including a pinch roller is disposed in the camera body to be held in a retracted position when the cover of the camera is fully opened and kept in such position for the loading and unloading of the cartridge. In the movie camera, means are provided so that the pinch roller carried by the swingable lever can be urged to a position closely adjacent to the capstan and held temporarily in such position when the cartridge is loaded and the cover is closed, and then the pinch roller can be urged further toward the capstan to bring the sound recording track portion of the film into pressure contact with the capstan in response to the manipulation of the release for starting the motion picture taking operation.

Abstract: A movie camera capable of magnetic recording on a loaded film simultaneously with filming includes a pinch roller carried by a bracket which is swingable relatively to the camera body. The pinch roller is movable relatively to the bracket. The bracket is movable in response to the closing operation of a lateral cover of the camera to a position where the pinch roller is adjacent to a capstan and restrained immovably in the position. In response to the operation of a release element for initiating recording, the pinch roller is moved by a spring member into rolling engagement with the film to urge the same into contact with the capstan for recording on the film along a recording track.
