Abstract: A pneumatic nailing machine having a, driving depth controlling mechanism. The pneumatic nailing machine includes a push lever having a lower end in pressure contact with a workpiece and another end in association with a trigger. Vertical moving length of the push lever relative to a nose will change the driving depth. An eccentric body is rotatably supported on the main body. The eccentric body is positioned above the upper tip of the push lever and the upper position of the upper tip of the push lever is regulated by the eccentric body. If the eccentric body is angularly rotated to a first angular position, the push lever can be moved to its highest position for providing a minimum distance between the lower tip of the push lever and a lower tip of the nose to provide the maximum driving depth. If the eccentric body is angularly rotated to a second angular position, the distance between these tips become maximum to provide a minimum driving depth.

Abstract: An ISDN switching system having facilities for testing an ISDN signal composed of B-channels and D-channels at least. The testing facilities can achieve a B-channel test and D-channel test selectively with simple construction by employing a converting unit in the system. The converting unit enables creation of a connection path between a test equipment and an object to be tested through an ISDN exchange and thus the ISDN signals for the test can be treated as usual ISDN signals. Thereby, the test equipment and the object can freely be connected to each other.

Abstract: A driving machine having a cylinder fixing arrangement. The driving machine is used for driving a fastener such as a nail into a workpiece. For this, a cylinder-piston arrangement is provided. When the piston is driven to drive the fastener a reaction force is applied to the cylinder. To avoid displacement of the cylinder due to the reaction force, the cylinder fixing arrangement is provided. The fixing arrangement includes a detachable stop washer secured in an annular groove of the cylinder. The stop washer is partly engaged with a flange of the cylinder to prevent the cylinder from its upward displacement. Inner diametrical differences are provided in the cylinder at the position around the stop washer.

Abstract: A remote maintenance system for a digital communication network, comprises local offices (LOs), at least two of which are grouped and connected to each other by a local line in the group, and a centralized maintenance and operation center (CMOC) located at a tandem office and connected to each LO by an ordinary digital transmission line (DTL) using the No. 7 Common Channel Signaling (CCS) system recommended by the CCITT. When a serious fault, such as system-down, occurs in a first LO in the group, a serious alarm signal is sent from the first LO to the CMOC through the local line, a second LO in the group and the DTL connecting the second LO and the CMOC, so that maintenance data for repairing the serious fault are provided at the CMOC and sent, under the No. 7 CCS system, to the first LO through the DTL toward the first LO.

Abstract: In an injection molding process, male and female dies are first clamped together by a prescribed clamping force to provide surfaces defining a cavity of a prescribed extruded area therebetween. Then, a molten resin is injected at a prescribed injection pressure into the cavity until the cavity is filled with the molten resin. Subsequently, the molten resin filled in the cavity is held at a prescribed holding pressure, so that the resin within the cavity solidifies to produce a molded article. The injection pressure in the injecting step is controlled so as to decrease immediately before the cavity is filled with the molten resin to thereby prevent a pressure boost from occurring upon the termination of the injecting step. The holding pressure in the holding step is controlled in such a manner that a maximum of the pressure of the resin within the cavity in the holding step is higher than a maximum of the pressure of the resin within the cavity in the injecting step.

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for grinding a rotary body, in which a rotatably supported grindstone is positioned in such manner that an extension of a rotary axis of the grindstone does not intersect a rotary axis of the rotary body and the rotary axis of the grindstone is inclined with respect to a plane perpendicular to the rotary axis of the rotary body to be ground. The rotary body to be ground is rotatably driven, and the grindstone is pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the rotary body to be ground in order that the outer circumferential surface of the rotary body to be ground can be ground by a relative slip produced at a contact point between the outer circumferential surface of the rotary body to be ground and the grindstone.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for grinding a roll in a rolling mill on an on-line grinding basis, are improved in that a freely rotatable grinding body such and is a grindstone is pressed against a surface of the roll to be ground as directed in the direction making a predetermined angle with respect to the axis of the roll. The roll is rotated so that the surface of the roll may be ground by a relative slip between the grinding body and the roll caused by their different circumferential velocities.

Abstract: A power-driven hand-held fastener driving machine includes a housing including a reciprocally movable blade, a magazine for carrying a strip of fasteners such as staples, and a guide assembly composed of first and second guides defining a drive track therebetween. A safety device is actuatable in response to being pressed against a workpiece for depressing a switch means to move the blade for driving fasteners one at a time into the workpiece.
