Abstract: A premixed combustion burner including: an outer tube having an inlet opening on a first side in an axial direction and an outlet opening on a second side in the axial direction; an inner tube formed in a cylindrical shape extending in the axial direction and spaced inside the outer tube, and forming a film air flow path between the inner and outer tubes; and a strut extending inward from the inner wall surface of the outer tube and supporting the inner tube. An end of the inner tube on the first side is located further towards the second side than the outer tube inlet opening. An end of the inner tube on the second side is located further towards the first side than the outlet opening of the outer tube. The outer tube, the strut, and the inner tube are formed with a fuel injection flow path.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes controlling movement of any of first objects arranged on a field, controlling movement of a second object fed to any of the first objects, and carrying out control such that a first object satisfying prescribed proximity relation with the second object among the first objects acquires the second object. The controlling movement of a second object includes ejecting the second object to the field from a prescribed position in a direction determined based on an accepted first user operation input and moving the second object over the field in accordance with an accepted second user operation input. The controlling movement of any of the first objects moves any of the first objects toward the second object ejected to the field and moves any of the first objects toward the second object that moves over the field.

Abstract: An electronic switching device having a detection circuit or input circuit powered by an external source and load is described. The external source and load are in a series circuit with a power switching element which thereby provides switch controlled power in response to an output signal generated from a detection circuit. A current limiting device is connected in series with the power switching element, and an excess current detection circuit responds to excessive current flowing in the aforemention series circuit to interrupt the power switching element when an abnormally large current is passed. Circuitry is provided for holding the current limiting device in its operable or current interrupting state for a predetermined period of time.

Abstract: An attachment for an electronic switch having an outlet tube in one embodiment includes a first clamp member including a pair of legs having respective hooks on ends thereof, and a second clamp member having a pair of locking pawls for locking engagement with the hooks, respectively. In a second embodiment the clamp members are identical with a leg and hook and a pawl on each member. The second clamp member having a pair of cavities in which the legs can be fitted, respectively, the first and second clamp members being connectable together to hold the outlet tube of the electronic switch therebetween.

Abstract: An electronic switch includes a detector head in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped having a detecting surface and connecting members disposed on a corner thereof including a surface opposite to the detecting surface, the connecting members being identical in shape when the detecting surface is oriented in either a forward or lateral direction, the connecting members being symmetrically arranged with respect to an edge of the detector head, a head joint having an end to which the detector head is connectable by the connecting members and also having a rotatable annular connector on an opposite end thereof, and a switch box having engagement means for slidable engagement with the annular connector of the head joint so that the head joint can be rotatably mounted on the switch box. The detecting surface can be oriented in all of lateral directions by rotating the head joint.

Abstract: A high frequency oscillation type proximity switch including an oscillating circuit having an adjusting resistor changing the oscillating state, the switch being adapted to detect an object by a decrease in the oscillation output due to the approach of the object, wherein when the oscillation output decreases, the switch detects the object while changing the resistance of the adjusting resistor to facilitate the restart of oscillation. Thus, when the object disappears after the detection of the object, oscillation is easily started, so that response to the detection of objects is improved. Further, by providing the output circuit with an integrating circuit having a time constant greater than the commercial alternating current, the oscillation is caused to be intermittent at the zero-cross point in the alternating current, thus making it possible to construct an anti-magnetic field type proximity switch which is usable even in an environment where an intense ac magnetic field is present.
