  • Patent number: 7663645
    Abstract: An image display device for providing an image to an observer; the invention comprises: a display module configured to display an image and an image transducer module. The image transducer module includes a visual information receiver module coupled to the display module to receive visual information. A control module in communication with the visual information receiver module and with the display module configured to deliver visual information to the display module for display; wherein the display module displays a non-mirror image of the analog visual information. A mounting device coupled to a back of the display module and configured to mount the display module to a surface. Wherein the control module includes an image modification module configured to enable a user to selectively modify a displayed image. Wherein the display module includes a LCD display sized to provide a life-sized full body image of an average person.

  • Patent number: 5862945
    Abstract: A ball quantitative supply system is comprised of an upper plate, a lower plate and a rotary block rotatably retained between the upper and lower plates. The upper plate is provided with a ball receiving aperture for receiving balls fed from a ball feeder, and a ball confirming aperture for confirming a predetermined number of balls, the apertures being provided to extend through different portions of the plate when seen in top plan. The lower plate is provided with a ball discharge aperture extending therethrough. The rotary block is provided with a ball receptacle extending therethrough for receiving a predetermined number of balls. The positions of provision of the ball receiving aperture, ball confirming aperture and ball discharge aperture are displaced from each other at an equal interval of 120.degree. as viewed in top plan.

  • Patent number: 5298035
    Abstract: A process for preparing a thermosensitive fibrous structure which includes adding a fibrous substrate mainly composed of cellulosic fiber, microcapsules including a thermochromic material, a cationic surfactant and a nonionic surfactant to a dye bath maintained at a temperature of not higher than 90.degree. C. and then adding an agent for imparting exhaustion property in the bath at a pH not more than 7, thereby causing the fibrous substrate to exhaust the microcapsules from the bath. According to this process, there can be obtained a thermosensitive fibrous structure wherein microcapsules are almost completely exhausted and uniformly provided.

  • Patent number: 5044071
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tape of finished electronic components in which the components project laterally from the tape and are supported on the tape by long leads of the electronic components. An electronic component set is prepared constituted by a plurality of electronic component bodies, a lead terminal member having an elongated connecting member and a plurality of groups of laterally extending lead terminals spaced at intervals along the connecting member, one group per component body. All but one of the lead terminals in each group are cut at a position to separate the lead terminals other than the one lead terminal from the connecting member. The electrical properties of the electronic bodies are then measured through the respective terminals, and then the one uncut lead terminal is cut to separate semi-finished electronic components.

  • Patent number: 4564482
    Abstract: A variable venturi type carburetor comprising a carburetor body having an intake passage in which is disposed a slide valve slidably supported for travel across the intake passage to function as a variable venturi. A butterfly throttle valve is pivotably supported by the body in the intake passage downstream of the slide valve. A low-speed fuel passageway and a main fuel passageway open into the intake passage proximate the butterfly throttle valve and directly below the slide valve respectively. The slide valve and butterfly throttle valve are interconnected by a linkage for interlocked operation over a range from their fully closed positions to their fully opened positions with the degree of opening of the slide valve being greater than that of the butterfly valve by a predetermined magnitude at least for low opening degrees thereof. An external force is applied to one of the valves to operate that valve and the other of the valves conjointly therewith.
