Abstract: A water pump is connected to a mixer so as to blast high pressure water at a high speed in the mixer. The air and powder are supplied to the blast flow of the high pressure water through an air supply pipe and a powder supply pipe respectively so that a mixture flow composed of the gas, the droplet-like fluid, and powder is formed. The mixture flow is blasted from a nozzle at a high speed so as to be sprayed onto a surface to be treated. Thus, impact actions held by the powder and the droplet-like fluid as cleansing/scraping media are given to the surface to be treated. Thus, a cleansing/scraping operation is achieved. Then, if the fluid, gas or the like supplied to the mixer is heated, the cleansing/scraping operation can be further accelerated.

Abstract: The invention relates to article containment apparatus which is adapted to store articles such as vials on shelves disposed at different elevations by placing them on the successive shelves. In a known article containment apparatus including an elevating mechanism which drives a plurality of shelves, disposed at different elevations for stowing articles thereon, up and down, and a conveyor for conveying articles to a shelf disposed at a given elevation, the invention is characterized by the provision of a plurality of infeeders disposed between the shelf and the conveyor. The infeeders are operated in an alternate fashion so that while one of the infeeders is operating to store articles from the conveyor, another infeeder conveys the stored article thereon onto the shelf. In this manner, there is no need to interrupt the supply of articles by the conveyor during the time the articles are conveyed onto the shelf, thus improving the efficiency of stowage.

Abstract: In the known turret type automatic cutting and winding apparatus for automatically cutting a web-like material such as a film or the like, in order to eliminate scratches and/or uneven deformation which can be generated at a cut end portion of a web-like material during tapeless winding also to obviate creases which might occur in a mill roll, an electrostatic charging means is mounted on a swingable arm for giving electrostatic charge to a cut end portion of the web-like material and/or to a surface of a core, a cutter and a pair of press members are swingably mounted and oppose each other across the web-like material, and the arrangement is such that the press members may be positioned with the cutter when at a cutting position therebetween.

Abstract: This invention relates to a duplex loop type transmission system which is so constructed that a plurality of transmission stations are loop-connected with two transmission lines, and the control right for transmission is carried about among the transmission stations. When trouble, such as disconnection on the transmission lines is detected, the station having the control right is adapted to transmit a check signal to the transmission line on which the trouble is detected and the station which receives the check signal returns a response signal to the next station at the side from which the check signal has been transmitted, and the station which receives no response signal carries out a loop back, thereby enabling clearance of the trouble in a short time.
