Abstract: In a coin feeding machine 26 which uses a rotary disk 41 rotated at an inclined posture, a removal projection 59 for removing a smaller diameter coin is provided between a feeding projection 52 and a coin support portion 53 which are provided on a surface 41a of the rotary disk 41. The removal projection 59 is disposed to be positioned on the slightly outer side of the outer edge of a coin C when the coin C whose diameter is a lower limit value of a handling target range is brought into contact with the feeding projection 52 and the coin support portion 53. The side surface of the removal projection 59 is inclined relative to the surface of the rotary disk 41. When the coin is brought onto the inclined surface of this removal projection 59, the coin drops away from the surface 41a of the rotary disk 41. A coin C1 which is smaller than the lower limit value of the handling target range is brought onto the removal projection 59, so as to be dropped from the surface 41a of the rotary disk 41 and removed.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to reduce the power consumption at the time of an automatic homing operation performed between a base station apparatus and a wireless LAN terminal apparatus. When an automatic homing operation is performed in which a scanning operation is repeated for searching an AP as a connection destination, the wireless LAN terminal apparatus 10 does not leave unchanged a scan pause time period which is a period of time between the previous scanning operation to the next scanning operation, but lengthens it as the number of scanning operations increases. More specifically, each time the scanning operation is repeated predetermined number n times, the wireless LAN terminal apparatus extends the scan pause time period by a given incremental value. The wireless LAN terminal apparatus has an upper limit value of the scan pause time period preliminarily set therein. Thus the scan pause time period is made not to exceed the upper limit value.

Abstract: A carpet material for a floor carpet to be used in a passenger compartment of an automotive vehicle. The carpet material comprises a pile layer formed of nonwoven fabric and serving as a skin. A base fabric layer is provided for supporting the pile layer and is formed of nonwoven fabric and integral with the pile layer. A backing layer is located at the opposite side of the base fabric with respect to the pile layer. The backing layer is formed of nonwoven fabric and integral with the base fabric layer. The nonwoven fabric forming the backing layer has a surface density ranging from 100 to 1000 g/m2 and is formed of polyester-based fiber having a diameter ranging from 20 to 130 &mgr;m.
