Abstract: The present invention provides an industrial waste cutting apparatus for cutting finely the industrial wastes generated from such as industrial products of a great variety of types and domestic products such as used materials and old furniture, regardless of whether they are soft or hard, so that they can be easily disposed off, and it is an object thereof to cut soft materials, which are especially difficult to cut, with a very high efficiency.

Abstract: An ignition coil device is provided in which a damaged portion can be exchanged and which requires no connector for connecting a power switch with a wiring harness. Since an ignition coil device 2 is constructed such that a primary coil portion 21 and a power switch 22 are secured by fitting the primary coil portion 21 into a hollow core of a secondary coil portion 23 mounted in advance on an engine 30, the primary and secondary coil portions 21, 23 can be detachably connected via an iron core 21c as a magnetic core. Accordingly, only the secondary coil portion 23 having a relatively short life due to the generation of varying high voltage can be easily exchanged. Further, since the power switch 22 and the primary coil portion 21 are integrally or unitarily connected with a wiring harness 40, the construction can be made inexpensive and simple by the deletion of a connector provided in a prior art ignition coil device, thereby enhancing electrical reliability.

Abstract: An opening/closing device of a door for a refrigerator or the like will open/close the door member at a desired side, namely, at the right side or at the left side, without requiring a movable operating handle. The device is simple in construction, has a high adiabatic efficiency, and can be easily incorporated in the door member. Therefore, no special mechanism is necessary in the door member and no structural change is required inside the door member.

Abstract: A coolant preservation container having vacuum space in a peripheral portion of the interior thereof for making a container member adiabatic and a partition for dividing the container member into a plurality of chamber. Each chamber has ports from and via which a coolant is taken out from and returned to the chamber. These ports are suited to circulate a coolant contained in the chamber on external cooling trap.

Abstract: A quadrupole mass spectrometer generates a stream of ionized particles which are modulated by an AC voltage and transmitted through a quadrupole analyzer to a detection unit. The detection unit detects at a collector electrode thereof a modulated ion current which is fed to a phase detector. The phase detector synchronizes the modulated ion current with a signal of known frequency to produce a DC voltage representative of the level of the modulated ion current. By modulating the ionized particles with the AC voltage, the S/N ratio is improved and adverse effects of external noise are diminished.

Abstract: A double grid anode is characterized in that said anode is comprised of a first cage-like anode made of a metal grid or wire gauze that permits that passage of electrons and that has an open end, a second anode which also consists of a metal grid or wire gauze located at the open end side of said first anode, a hot-cathode filament arranged around the outer periphery of said first anode, and an ion-extraction electrode which faces said anode.
