  • Patent number: 11064935
    Abstract: A test device is used to test photosensitivity of a skin. The test device is provided with an irradiation unit including a plurality of light irradiation units arranged in a first direction. The plurality of light irradiation units output, in a second direction intersecting the first direction, irradiation light beams that mutually differ at least in one of wavelength characteristics and intensity. The irradiation unit is configured such that intensities of the irradiation light beams output from the plurality of light irradiation units are progressively smaller in the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20050093222
    Abstract: A sheet feeder in an image forming apparatus of this invention is provided with special sheet ribs for controlling both sides of special sheet on a sheet guide provided between a manual sheet supply tray and aligning rollers. This is to satisfactorily guide ordinary sheet and special sheet such as post card supplied from manual sheet supply trays to aligning rollers which conveys sheet vertically. When special sheet is conveyed, the sheet is inserted between the special sheet ribs to prevent skew. When ordinary sheet is conveyed, the sheet is passed above the upper surface of the special ribs so as to prevent generation of defective image caused by bending of sheet.

  • Patent number: 4709845
    Abstract: An apparatus for continuously producing electric-welded steel pipes by continuously supplying coiled strips as connected to one another by welding, progressively forming the strip into a tubular shape and high-frequency welding the opposed edges of the strip to form a seam. To produce required small quantities of steel pipes having varying diameters and wall thicknesses, a group of roll assemblies is replaceable by another group within a short period of time. Groups of forming, welding or sizing rolls are mountable on a polygonal bed which is lockable in position after rotation. For replacement, the bed is rotated by a hydraulic motor to bring the desired group of rolls to the proper position quickly.
