Abstract: An apparatus for cutting a scrapped good such as a scrapped automobile. The apparatus has a machine frame having a table provided with a recess, and a bifurcated pressing member rotatable into and out of the recess by means of a pressing cylinder. The pressing member has a lifting portion and a cutting portion provided at its both side with cutting edges for co-operation with cutting edges formed at both sides of the recess. As the pressing cylinder is energized, the pressing member is rotated into the recess to cut and press the scrap into tabular form. The pressed tabular scrap is then lifted by the returning rotation of the pressing member to the level of the table surface, and is discharged to the out of the apparatus by means of a pay-off device mounted on the machine frame.

Abstract: A memory device having a test function for detecting abnormal memory cells having low hold ability is disclosed. The memory device characteristically comprises a first write control circuit which operates in a normal write mode and a second write control circuit which operates in a pseudo write mode to supply a pseudo write signal lower than a threshold value at which the state or content of the normal memory cell is changed or inverted, to the memory cell to be tested. In such a pseudo write mode, the state of the normal memory cell remains unchanged, but if the tested memory cell is abnormal, its state is changed. After the pseudo write mode, the tested memory cell can be detected to be normal or abnormal by reading out the content of the tested memory cell.

Abstract: A high voltage limiting circuit for a television receiver employs a negative pulse sample from a tertiary winding on a flyback transformer as a measure of high voltage.

Abstract: In removing nitrogen oxide from a gas containing it, the gas is passed through a region where at least one of calcium sulfate and calcium hydroxide coexists with powerful oxidation agents such as sodium chlorite, potassium permanganate, etc. thereby removing the nitrogen oxide, mainly nitrogen monoxide, from the gas. This method is very effective in purifying exhaust gases resulting from burning operations, since 80 to 90% or more of the nitrogen oxide contained in the exhaust gases is nitrogen monoxide. In addition, this method is also effective in purifying indoor air.
