Abstract: The task of the present invention is to provide a magnetostrictive power generation device that is low cost and excellent in durability and can achieve a power generation amount equal to or exceeding those of conventional magnetostrictive power generation devices. The present invention provides a power-generating magnetostrictive element that is formed from a laminate comprising at least one electromagnetic steel sheet layer which comprises at least one electromagnetic steel sheet and satisfies at least one of the following Condition A and Condition B. Condition A: The at least one electromagnetic steel sheet layer comprises two or more electromagnetic sheets, and the two or more electromagnetic sheets are bonded to each other through a brazing material part. Condition B: The laminate further comprises at least one elastic material layer, and the at least one electromagnetic steel sheet layer is bonded to the elastic material layer through a brazing material part.

Abstract: Task of the present invention is to provide a power-generating magnetostrictive element and a magnetostrictive power generation device equipped with the same, which are capable of achieving the same or a greater magnetostrictive power generation amount compared to conventional technology while employing materials lower in cost compared to conventional magnetostrictive materials. The task is achieved by providing a magnetostrictive element comprising a magnetostrictive part formed of an electromagnetic metal sheet. The present invention also provides a power-generating magnetostrictive element and a power-generating magnetostrictive element having high voltage with little variation. The task is achieved by providing a magnetostrictive element comprising a magnetostrictive part formed from a magnetostrictive material and a stress control part formed from an elastic material, the materials each having a Young's modulus and a sheet thickness simultaneously satisfying specific relationships.

It is an AC adapter power supply apparatus comprising a line for supplying a DC voltage of an AC-DC conversion circuit 11 directly to a DC output circuit 23, and a line for supplying the same from a battery 14, wherein an output side of a DC output detection circuit 17 connected to the AC-DC conversion circuit 11 is connected to an apparatus status output circuit 22 for outputting a status monitoring signal to the outside and to a battery switch circuit 15, and a changeover switch 19 for switching a set-up output voltage is connected to the AC-DC conversion circuit 11 and the DC-DC conversion circuit 16.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling the temperature of a joining area between two different strip materials in a continuous strip processing line. In the case where a strip material after the joining area requires a nozzle pressure greater than that of a preceding strip material, the opening of a damper is initially gradually throttled, at a timing before the joining area passes through a predetermined location in a treating furnace, by an amount required for changing the nozzle pressure so that an optimum pressure of the preceding strip material is changed so that of the following strip material. The rotational speed of a recirculation fan is then raised to keep the nozzle pressure substantially constant, and the damper is rapidly opened to the opening before the throttling at a time the joining area passes through the predetermined location.

Abstract: A device for automatically controlling coating amount for use in a coating machine including a backup roll, an applicator roll, a pickup roll, a base, a first table slidably mounted on the base and a second table slidably mounted on the first table. The device includes first and second pressure adjusting mechanisms for adjusting a pressure between the backup roll and the applicator roll and a pressure between the applicator roll and the pickup roll. Each of the first and second pressure adjusting mechanisms further includes a sensor, a stepping motor and a precision ball bearing screw member.

Abstract: A speech analysis apparatus according to the invention, comprising a transforming section for receiving a spectrum envelope, for transforming the spectrum envelope such magnitude data thereof becomes suitable, and for generating a transformed spectrum envelope, an integrator for receiving the transformed spectrum envelope output from the transforming section, for integrating the input spectrum envelope with respect to a predetermined variable, and for outputting an integrated spectrum envelope, and a projection circuit for receiving the transformed spectrum envelope from the transform circuit and the integrated spectrum envelope from the integrator, and for projecting the spectrum envelope with respect to the integrated data.
