Abstract: In an ophthalmological measurement method and apparatus, a laser beam of predetermined diameter is projected to the eye fundus and movement of a speckle pattern formed by light scattered by blood cells in blood vessel is detected by a photosensor as fluctuation in speckle light intensity to produce a speckle signal. The speckle light intensity will fluctuate more rapidly with a smaller output from the photosensor when cell velocities are high, while a low cell travel speed will decrease the lowering of the output therefrom. The speckle signal is then processed to derive therefrom its center of gravity, which is taken as a center of a blood vessel to identify the blood vessel. This enables the blood vessel parts to be identified with high accuracy and to be tracked automatically.

Abstract: An injection apparatus of a plunger type for injecting reinforced materials such as BMC is of a single barrel type or a double barrel type having a rotatable plunger disposed in the barrel. A check valve device for preventing a back flow of the materials in a metering process is provided such that it is closed when the plunger is actuated to move axially for injection.

Abstract: An image formation cartridge employed to a printer includes a movable image formation sheet supported between a pair of rotatable shafts, a rotatable ink applying roller unit contacting the image formation sheet and an ink feeding unit for feeding ink from an ink storing container to the ink applying roller unit. The image formation sheet may be wound on one of the pair of rotatable shafts as the shafts rotate in the same direction. Ink may continuously be applied to the image formation sheet through the ink feeding unit and the ink applying roller unit as the shafts rotate.

Abstract: A feed for domestic animals containing saccharides mainly composed of fructooligosaccharide is particularly effective for growing young domestic animals. The feed can remedy the scours or loose passage frequently occuring young domestic animals in the weaning period of young animals and remarkably increase the weight of the young animals.

Abstract: Carbon dioxide can be obtained in high recovery with high purity from a gas mixture containing 10% or more of carbon dioxide by a pressure-swing adsorption method wherein moisture in the gas mixture is removed with cooling and heating prior to the adsorption of the carbon dioxide on an adsorbent.

Abstract: A sheet reverse apparatus for reversing a paper sheet discharged from an image forming apparatus has a mounting mechanism fixed to the image forming apparatus, and a power transmission mechanism. The power transmission mechanism is engaged with an output gear coupled to a drive source of the image forming apparatus, and transmits a driving force from the image forming apparatus to an input gear. The power transmission mechanism has a swingable plate and a spring for biasing the swingable plate in one direction. A movable gear meshed with the input gear and rotatable therearound is axially supported on the swingable plate. When the sheet reverse apparatus is mounted on the image forming apparatus, driving power from the sheet reverse apparatus can be supplied from the image forming apparatus through the input gear and the power transmission mechanism.

Abstract: A beam direct converter recovers the energy of incoming ion particles intermingled with neutral particles. An angular cylindrical collector of the direct converter has its lengthwise side substantially aligned with the flowing direction of a beam of neutral particles. Angular cylindrical suppressors are provided upstream and downstream of the collector as viewed from the flowing direction of the beam of neutral particles. The collector is set at a positive potential to decelerate ion particles taken into the collector. Suppressors set at a negative potential prevent electrons produced outside of the direct converter from being carried into the collector. A plurality of conductive pipes are embedded in the suppressor. When the conductive pipes are supplied with current running in the same direction, a magnetic field acting in parallel with the plane of the suppressor envelops it.

Abstract: A plasticating control apparatus for an in-line screw type injection machine, including: a resin pressure sensor for detecting as an electrical signal pressure of a molten material at a distal end of a heating cylinder during plastication; means for directly converting the rotational speed of an electric motor to reciprocal movement of a hydraulic piston for driving a screw; and a control circuit for receiving the electrical signal from the resin pressure sensor and supplying the control signal to the electric motor in accordance with the electrical signal, the control signal supplied from the control circuit to the electric motor being adapted to control the rotational speed of the electric motor and hence a backward speed of the screw such that the pressure of the molten material at the distal end of the heating cylinder is not a negative pressure but substantially zero kg/cm.sup.2.

Abstract: A neutral beam injector comprising a neutralizing cell for neutralizing charged particles, and a direct converter for recovering the energy of unneutralized charged particles passed through the neutralizing cell.The direct converter comprises a collector for collecting charged particles, a deflector which is interposed between the neutralizing cell and the collector in order to cross and diverge beams of the charged particles, a first electron suppressor interposed between the neutralizing cell and the deflector, and a second electron suppressor disposed behind the collector.

Abstract: In a resin moulding screw provided with helical flight and valley, the bottom surface of valley is divided into a plurality of portions along a dividing line, and the divided portions are alternately displaced in the radial direction to form wavy contours. Barriers are provided to cross the dividing line to form dams which prevent intercommunication of the valleys at the bottom of the screw groove to prevent decrease of the thrust pressure along the flight for efficiently blending and melting solid and molten resins.

Abstract: Two yokes of magnetic material are fixedly attached to opposite axial ends of a magnet which is revolvable about its axis with a revolving shaft, an alternating magnetic field generator is positioned in the magnetic field between the two yokes to generate alternating magnetic field with revolution of the shaft, and a magnetoelectric transducer is provided in the alternating field in order to generate a pulsating electrical signal indicative of the number of the shaft revolutions.
