Abstract: A crane provided with a trolley, a hanging member, a rope member, and a hoisting device. The crane includes a horizontal position displacement detection unit which detects a horizontal positional displacement between at least two corners of the cargo and a landing place of the two corners; and a horizontal position displacement correction unit which corrects a horizontal positional displacement between the at least two corners of the cargo and the landing place of the two corners when the two corners have landed based on a detection signal from the horizontal position displacement detection unit. The horizontal position displacement correction unit corrects the position of a corner of the cargo so that the corner lands at the landing place of the corner, and then corrects the position of another corner so that the corner lands at the landing place of the corner.

Abstract: A spreader for multistage container stacking comprising a flipper beam having a pair of corner flippers upwardly and downwardly movable along the end surface of an end beam of the spreader; a couple of right and left wires paid out from a pair of drums on the end beam, guided vertically downwardly along the opposite ends of the end beam, and tied at the ends thereof to positions straddling the center of gravity of the cross sections of the flipper beam and the corner flipper to support the flipper beam; a flipper lock pin mounting/removing device provided on the vertical side surface of the corner flipper, the flipper lock pin mounting/removing device having a lock pin insertible into and removable from a side surface opening of the spreader or a lower corner fitting of a container; a rotary encoder provided in association with the drums for detecting the amount of upward or downward movement of the flipper beam; and a lower end detecting sensor provided on the flipper beam for detecting the lower end of the

Abstract: A facsimile apparatus according to the present invention includes an operation member which is arranged horizontally and can be rotated, and a display which is arranged at the same level as the operation member and rotates a display image in accordance with the rotation of the operation member. In addition, the display displays letters, numbers, symbols and the like by rotating them electrically by 90 degrees when the operation member rotates by at least 45 degrees. And the operation member is arranged aside at the top level of the facsimile apparatus, with its circumference partially projecting from the edge of the apparatus. Furthermore, the facsimile apparatus is configured vertically, and the operation member and the display are arranged at the top level of the apparatus, between a paper feeding means and a paper ejecting means, each of which feeds or ejects paper in the direction crossing the top level of the apparatus at an obtuse angle.

Abstract: An improved profiling control apparatus controls a profiling machine so that the apparatus judges whether an exact profiling operation is performed by the machine at a place where a surface shape of the model to be profiled is suddenly changed, for example at a step, without jumping of a stylus from the model surface, and the profiling machine performs the exact profiling operation without jumping of the stylus. The profiling control apparatus, which detects a displacement of the stylus pressed on the model surface from a tracer head and controls the profiling machine in accordance with the displacement detection signal, includes a displacement compounding unit for compounding three dimensional displacement signal .epsilon.x, .epsilon.y and .epsilon.z to produce a displacement signal .epsilon.(=.sqroot..epsilon.x.sup.2 +.epsilon.y.sup.2 +.epsilon.z.sup.2), a displacement differentiating unit for differentiating the displacement signal to produce a differentiated value d.sup.2 .epsilon./dt.sup.
