Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device. In the device of the present invention, a metal lead wire is mounted to one surface of a carrier tape. One end of the metal lead wire is connected to a semiconductor chip. A lead frame is mounted to one surface of a reinforcing plate. The other end of the metal lead wire is connected to one end of an inner lead wire. The semiconductor chip is mounted to one surface of the reinforcing plate having an open portion positioned in the tip portion of the inner lead. Further, the semiconductor chip is covered with a resin layer.

Abstract: A bearing steel having long rolling life comprising, by weight, 0.65 to 0.90% of C, 0.15 to 0.50% of Si, 0.15 to 1.0% of Mn and 2.0 to 5.0% of Cr, and the balance of Fe. Austenite grain size can be prevented from becoming coarser to make hardening in high temperature possible by further adding one or more of 0.0090 to 0.0200% of N, 0.010 to 0.050% of Al and 0.005 to 0.500% of Nb as optional elements to the steel. Further, rolling fatigue life can be improved by further adding one or more of 0.20 to 0.50% of Ni, 0.10 to 2.00% Of Mo and 0.05 to 1.00% of V as optional elements, and machinability can be improved by further adding one or more of 0.02 to 0.05% of S, 0.005 to 0.10% of rare earth elements, 0.02 to 0.30% of Pb, 0.0005 to 0.0100% of Ca, 0.001 to 0.200% of Bi, 0.005 to 0.20% of Se and 0.005 to 0.100% of Te in the steel as optional elements.

Abstract: Re-dispensable bills, such as less skewed bills and successive bills, among these rejected bills which are normal but rendered undiscriminatable while being dispensed from the storage boxes to the clerk-side bill slot are temporarily stacked, in the customer-side bill slot, and the bills are stored from the customer-side bill slot into the storage boxes when desired bills stacked in the clerk-side bill slot are completely dispensed.

Abstract: An optical system moving apparatus having first and second driving motors, transmitting screws coupled to the first and second driving motors, and a moving table on which an optical system is mounted and which is coupled through the transmitting screws to the first and second driving motors, wherein the moving table is driven by a combined output of the first and second driving motors.

Abstract: The leading ends of sheets in a storage container are brought into abutment against arcuate portions of stopper rollers by an abutment roller to orient the sheets properly with respect to the first direction, i.e, to correct the sheets out of a skewed condition Then, the sheets are fed between a feed roller and a separator roller to arrow the separator roller to separate the uppermost sheet from the other sheets. Thereafter the other sheets are fed back into the storage container by reverse rollers.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bar code scanner applicable for use to scan various bar codes of different standards and sizes. Any malfunction due to nonuniform illumination of the bar code or maloperation can be prevented, and also the light source may not be normally turned on. This bar code scanner is usable as held by hand or fixed as desired.The opening of the scan head of the inventive bar code scanner is formed polygonal, and high light-transmission diffusion filter is provided between the light source and the opening. The light source consists of spot light sources disposed in plural linear arrays including the ones which are normally on for sensing the proximity to a bar code and the others which are turned on and off depending on whether the scan head is near or far from a bar code.

Abstract: An automatic bank note depositing and dispensing machine includes a first detector for detecting when the number of bank notes in a container is smaller than a first prescribed number, a second detector for detecting when the number of bank notes in the container is larger than a second prescribed number, a bank note transfer assembly for delivering bank notes to and receiving bank notes from a fixed or self-propelled external delivery unit in response to output signals from the first and second detectors, a first feeder for receiving bank notes via the bank note transfer assembly from the external delivery unit when the number of bank notes in the container is detected by the first detector as being smaller than the first prescribed number, and for feeding the received bank notes to the bank note container, and a second feeder for feeding bank notes via the bank note transfer assembly from the bank note container to the external delivery unit when the number of bank notes in the container is detected by the

Abstract: A device for detecting, on a record medium, positions of interband regions disposed between bands of recorded formation on the medium, detects differences in reflectivity of the regions and the bands by emitting electromagnetic radiation to be incident on a recorded surface of the medium containing the bands and regions, and detecting the level of the radiation reflected thereby. A radiation source, such as in LED, emits a beam of radiation to be incident on the medium. A detector, such as a photo transistor, detects the intensity of the beam reflected from the medium and provides an output level that varies with the intensity of the reflected beam. An interband region detecting circuit provides an output signal in response to variations in the output level to indicate the presence of the interband regions.

Abstract: A record changer for a record playing apparatus of the type including a center spindle on which records are adapted to be held and then dropped onto a turntable to be played, includes a tone arm for reproducing signals which are recorded on a record, dropped onto the turntable, a detecting device for detecting the position of the tone arm, an operating mechanism for controlling the operation of the record changer when the detecting device detects that the tone arm is in an inoperative position, and a device for stopping the operation of the record changer during operation of the operating means when the detecting device detects that the tone arm is in an operative position.
