Abstract: An input processing circuit is interposed between input terminals and input ports of an MPU. An output processing circuit is interposed between output ports of the MPU and output terminals. The input processing circuit includes switch sections and processing sections. The output processing circuit includes switch sections and processing sections. A switch control section switches the switch sections based on switch information stored in a switch information storage section to switch a connection relationship between the input terminals and the input ports, processing for an input signal, a connection relationship between the output ports and the output terminals, and processing for an output signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for purifying a calcium ion-binding protein by cation exchange chromatography. The present invention provide a method for isolating and purifying a calcium ion-binding protein in a simple and efficient manner from a liquid sample containing a calcium ion-binding protein and contaminants without any pretreatment such as addition of a chelating agent. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for purifying a calcium ion-binding protein which comprises contacting said protein with a cation exchange carrier in the presence of calcium ions to let the said protein be adsorbed to the carrier, and after washing, eluting said protein, and to a calcium ion-binding protein having substantially no contaminants obtained by the method of the present invention.

Abstract: A dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention is a mixture of barium titanate as a main component whose Ba/Ti molar ratio ranging from 1.001 to 1.05 and sub components comprising, at least 0.5 to 5.0 mol of Mg in the form of MgO, 0.1 to 3.0 mol of Dy in the form of Dy2O3, 0.01 to 0.4 mol of Mn in the form of Mn3O4, 0.01 to 0.26 mol of V in the form of V2O5, 0.3 to 3.5 mol of Si in the form of SiO2 and 0.01 to 3.0 mol of Al in the form of Al2O3 per 100 mol of the barium titanate. Even when external electrodes are made of base metal such as copper or the like, a multilayer capacitor whose dielectric layers are not reduced and have high insulation resistance can be obtained by using the dielectric ceramic composition of the present invention.

Abstract: A sensor coil pattern used in combination with a coordinate input apparatus is provided, which is adapted to exactly detecting positions if a noise source such as an converter or an electrically closed conductor exists in the periphery of the apparatus. The apparatus is provided with a sensor surface having a sensor coil pattern of many sensor coils arranged thereon in parallel with each other in position detecting directions, a position indicator, a coil or a resonance circuit incorporated therein and a switching means so connected as to select simultaneously one of a plurality of a sensor coils, wherein said many sensor coils include a predetermined number of sensor coils individually connected to the switching means, said predetermined number of sensor coils including at least one or a plurality of sensor coils counted from one end of the arrangement.

Abstract: An axial thrust balancing system including a sleeve for balancing an axial thrust applied to a rotary shaft and a bush defining therebetween a clearance having arranged therein at least one pressure chamber for dividing the clearance into a plurality of smaller clearances. The axial division of the clearance reduced the ratio of the axial length of the clearance to the diameter of the sleeve and stabilizes the bearing characteristics of a film of fluid in the clearance, thereby inhibiting the generation of a self-excited vibration of the shaft up to a high rotation velocity.

Abstract: A barrel type centrifugal turbo-machine having an outer casing and an inner casing assembly fitted into the outer casing, which inner casing assembly includes a rotor shaft and a plurality of stage structures and a head cover provided around the shaft. A pushing member is provided adjacent to an inlet end stage structures, one end wall thereof abutting to this end stage structure and the other end wall thereof being held on the shaft by means of a lock nut, whereby upon tightening this lock nut against the pushing member each of the stage structures and head cover of the inner casing assembly may be fixed each other in a cartridge like form which is ready to be inserted into the outer casing.
