  • Publication number: 20160107403
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a cord included rubber sheet has an arrangement step and a cutting step. In the arrangement step, a band-like material of a cord included rubber sheet is supplied to a processing table, and a portion to be cut is arranged onto a groove. In the cutting step, the band-like material is cut by pressing the pressure cutting die, and the cord included rubber sheet having a predetermined length is obtained. A leading end of the pressure cutting die enters the groove and a die surface of the pressure cutting die contacts with an opening edge of the groove, in the cutting step, and a cut surface of the cord is coated with the rubber of the band-like material in a process that the die surface comes into contact with the opening edge after the leading end contacts with the band-like material.

  • Publication number: 20130284330
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a carcass ply, a tread rubber, a side wall rubber and a rim strip rubber. A topping rubber of the carcass ply and the side wall rubber are formed by a non-conductive rubber. The rim strip rubber is formed by a conductive rubber. A height of an outer end of the rim strip rubber is equal to or more than 50% of a tire cross section height. JIS A hardness of the side wall rubber is equal to or more than 59 degrees. A side conductive layer formed by the conductive rubber is provided between the side wall rubber and the carcass ply. The side conductive layer is connected to the tread rubber and the rim strip rubber. A conductive route reaching the outer end of the side conductive layer from a ground-contacting surface is constructed in the tread rubber.

  • Patent number: 6402834
    Abstract: In a monocrystal producing device using a pulling-down method, a raw material melt 5m is continuously supplied into a crucible 2 to grow a crystal 18 by supplying a powdery raw material 5p onto a premelt plate 3 inside an electric furnace 10 with a powdery raw material supplying device 20 and melting the powdery raw material 5p on the premelt plate 3 to generate the raw material melt 5m, and causing this raw material melt 5m to drop out inside the crucible 2. A dry air is introduced into the powdery raw material 5p inside the powdery raw material tank 6 to prevent moisture of the raw material powder 5p. A transferring tube 9 for transferring the raw material 5m is cooled to prevent the filling in the transferring tube 9 based on melting of the powdery raw material 5p. This makes it possible to produce a monocrystal having a stable chemical composition, a large diameter, and a long size at a low price.

  • Patent number: 4408197
    Abstract: A display apparatus for use with a cathode-ray tube capable of displaying patterns in interlaced scanning and non-interlaced scanning operation modes, comprising a composite video signal synthesizer, a memory for storing pattern data, a mode setting circuit for the memory, a data selection signal generator and a raster line number signal generator. The memory stores data for relatively simple patterns such as alphabetical letters and those for relatively complicated patterns such as Chinese characters in individually particular areas in the memory addresses of these different areas are identified by a combination of the data selection signal and the raster line number signal supplied to the memory from the data selection signal generator and the raster line number signal generator. Accordingly, the apparatus is capable of displaying both relatively simple and relatively complicated patterns with satisfactory resolution and with a relatively small-scale structure.

  • Patent number: 4388707
    Abstract: A memory selection system which facilitates the addition of an external memory to a digital processing unit having an internal memory is disclosed. When a plurality of memories have the same addresses and an overlapped address is accessed, priority among the memories having the overlapped address is discriminated to enable only the memory having the highest priority (last attached memory) to be selected for access and to disable the access of the other memories.

  • Patent number: 4368461
    Abstract: A digital data processing device in which a color memory has a temporal data storage register at input/output interface thereof so that the data write-in or data read-out operations executed by a micro-processing unit (MPU) is always performed through the temporal storage register. When data read-out or write-in operation is made to a character memory at a certain address, the same operation is simultaneously carried out for the color memory at the corresponding address. Assuming that MPU reads out a certain display address of a display screen, a corresponding character code is fetched by MPU from the character memory, while the corresponding color code is transferred to the temporal storage register from the color memory. When MPU performs the write-in operation for another address of the display screen, the character code held by MPU until then is written in the character memory at a designated address, while the color data i.e.
