Abstract: The object of the present invention is to ensure information sharing in a factory and enhance the production efficiency. The management system of the present invention utilizes a liquid crystal projector PRJ to project an image of management information on a large-scaled display in the factory. A screen SCR is located at a specific position that allows each worker to simultaneously recognize the display and the object of the display (for example, in the case of a storehouse, the storage status of products). The contents of the display are varied according to the location of the display: for example, (1) instructions and actual conditions of storage of products in the storehouse; and (2) requirement of parts from assembly lines to a parts warehouse and status of delivery of parts from the parts warehouse.

Abstract: A motorcycle saddlebag mounting device having a restricting means for staggering timings of yawing occurring in a motorcycle body and resonance caused by lateral swing of a saddlebag is provided. The restricting means is provided between a support bracket mounted to a seat rail and a saddlebag mounting frame rotatably mounted to the support bracket. Rotation of the frame with respect to the support bracket is restricted, so that resonance caused by yawing of the motorcycle body and lateral swing of the saddlebag is cancelled out.

Abstract: In a JCL analyzing apparatus for a job having a plurality of job steps, an application method of a data set is inspected to select the data set applicable to a pipe data set in view of generating a job step matrix. Utilizing information about the job step matrix for the continuous job step groups using the applicable data set, the job step groups are checked to determine whether they are parallel-executable. If the job steps groups are all parallel-executable, a data set can be applicable to the pipe data set. If the job step groups overlap, these groups are summarized, when possible, utilizing the information about the job step matrix to decide the parallel-executable job step groups.

The magnetic layer include a magnetic powder and a binder for binding the magnetic powder on the non-magnetic layer. The binder includes at least a resin component containing at least an aminoquinone structure selected from an aminoquinone structure group shown with formulas (1-1) and (1-2) as a constitutional unit. As the magnetic powder, a metal magnetic powder mainly made of Fe and having a saturation magnetization .sigma.s is used. The magnetic layer has a saturation flux density Bm of 3500 to 5000 G and a coercive force of 1800 to 3000 Oe and a surface roughness SRa of 1 to 10 nm and a thickness of not more than 1.0 .mu.m.

Abstract: A processor outputs a state signal representing the process state toga reset circuit. Upon reception of a reset signal from an external reset switch, the reset circuit outputs the reset signal to the reset terminal of the processor under the condition that the state signal allows a reset operation. The reset circuit also has a counter for starting a count operation upon reception of an externally input reset signal. Even when the processor is in a runaway state and cannot output the state signal for allowing the reset operation, a forced reset signal is supplied to the processor after a predetermined time is counted by the counter.

Abstract: Sound information is binarized by delta modulation or adaptive delta modulation. The resulting data is subjected to pulse wide modulation and the resulting data is delivered to a reproducing device, which detects a leading edge of a received signal pulse to produce a self operation timing clock to thereby reproduce a sound. When the reproducing device detects the absence of edges for a predetermined interval after the edge detection, it turns off a power source for an analog circuit to suppress power consumption.

Abstract: A method for aging an expansion-molded body of polyolefin prepared by heating pre-expanded polyolefin particles within a mold involves cooling the molded body within the mold so that the molded body is not substantially smaller than the volume of the mold cavity and is temporarily expandable after being removed from the mold to not more than 110% relative to the volume in the mold cavity, removing the molded body from the mold, placing the molded body in an atmosphere substantially under atmospheric pressure and having a temperature of 25.degree. to 55.degree. C. lower than the melting point of the polyolefin while the volume of the molded body is 70 to 110% relative to the volume of the mold cavity and holding the molded body in this atmosphere until the temperature of the molded body is at least equal to the temperature of the atmosphere.

Abstract: An improvement in the Czochralski single crystal growing of a rare earth-gallium garnet such as gadolinium gallium garnet according to which the single crystal boules of a relatively large diameter and outstandingly free from any crystal defects and inclusions are readily obtained. The improved method comprises keeping the melt of the oxide mixture formed in an iridium crucible for at least 15 hours in the molten state before crystal growing is started. It was also shown that addition of certain additive gases, e.g. water vapor, carbon dioxide and oxygen, to the gaseous atmosphere mainly composed of, for example, nitrogen, in which crystal growing was performed, in a limited proportion was effective to further improve the crystal quality and to decrease the particulate inclusions in the single crystal boules.

Abstract: In the crystal growing of GGG (gadolinium gallium garnet) by the Czochralski technique from a melt of the oxide mixture of gadolinium and gallium, zinc is added to the oxide melt as a dopant element in a limited amount so that the danger of crack formation in the grown single crystals can be greatly decreased contributing to the improvement of the productivity. Moreover, the GGG single crystal grown with zinc doping has remarkably reduced light absorption in the wavelength region of around 300 nm responsible to the yellowish tint of the crystals.

Abstract: In a printing control device for a thermal printer, a character read out from a character buffer for storing characters to be printed is supplied to a decoder and is then output from a character generator as a dot signal. In response to the dot signal from the character generator, an on-time preparing circuit outputs an on-time signal having a time duration determined by the number of dots associated with the dot signal or by the number of characters determined by the number of dot patterns. A voltage is applied to printing elements of a printing head for performing a printing operation for a time period determined by the duration of the on-time signal from the on-time signal preparing circuit.

Abstract: Permanent magnets are disclosed having a very high coercive force and a very great maximum energy product, and consisting essentially of a rare earth-cobalt based alloy. The alloy is expressed by the formula Sm.sub.1.sub.-u Ce.sub.u (Co.sub.1.sub.-v.sub.-w.sub.-x Cu.sub.v Fe.sub.w Mn.sub.x).sub.z where 0.ltoreq.u.ltoreq.0.20, 0.08.ltoreq.v.ltoreq.0.20, 0.ltoreq.w.ltoreq.0.08, 0.01.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.15 and 6.0.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.7.8, preferably 7.2.ltoreq.z.ltoreq.7.8. By using these alloys, the magnetic properties of the resultant permanent magnets are superiorly affected, and the magnet-preparing process is rendered much simplified. This is also because the conventional heat aging step may be eliminated, particularly when the z value is within the preferred range.
