  • Patent number: 6901497
    Abstract: A size of a partition to be created on a storage device is limited to a size of m to n-th power, where m and n are natural numbers. In creation of the partition, a partition management execution unit is set to dispose the partition from a sector aligned with a size of the partition itself, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the storage device can be improved.

  • Patent number: 5805949
    Abstract: A photosensitive material processing apparatus in which a pair of rollers respectively having water absorbing surface layers is disposed downstream of a washing processing section and the rotating shafts of said rollers are urged in the directions in which said rollers approach each other, wherein the thickness of said water absorbing surface layer of at least one roller of said rollers gradually decreases toward end portions of the at least one roller. In this way, since the thickness of the water absorbing surface layer of the at least one roller gradually decreases toward the end portions of said at least one roller, a gap is prevented from occurring between said water absorbing surface layer and said photosensitive material at the central portions of the rollers due to the flexing of the rollers.

  • Patent number: 4178156
    Abstract: An electrostatic precipitator for the removal of dust from a gas stream entraining same is subdivided into a plurality of flow passages which can be selectively or collectively shut off. When one of these flow passages is closed off, the collecting electrodes can be rapped, after the high voltage has been disconnected, to cause the collecting electrodes to shed their dust. A conductivity-promoting substance in liquid or powder form is then sprayed into the closed-off flow compartment to deposit upon the collecting electrodes thereof and simultaneously the electrodes are energized. Thereafter, the flow of the gas stream entraining the gas through the flow passages is recommenced and electrostatic deposition of dust takes place in the usual manner. The system has been found to be highly effective for the collection of high-resistance dusts and to avoid reverse ionization effects.
