Abstract: A transfer and molding apparatus for transferring an image or pattern from an elongate transfer film to a molded article. The transferring and molding apparatus includes a film feed-out mechanism for feeding the transfer film wound around a supply drum and introducing the transfer film between a stationary mold member and a movable mold member and a film take-up mechanism for taking up the transfer film positioned between the stationary mold member and the movable mold member onto a take-up drum. A longitudinal direction feeding device has a controlling motor for feeding the transfer film in a longitudinal direction thereof from the film feed-out mechanism toward the film take-up mechanism by a predetermined length during each molding cycle, and a longitudinal direction sensor for detects a position setting mark on the transfer film.

Abstract: A novel microprocessor architecture can be easily interfaced with various peripheral devices. The microprocessor is generally made up of a CPU core, a RAM, a ROM and an input/output option. The RAM adjoins one edge of the CPU core and the ROM adjoins the opposite edge of the CPU core. The input/output (I/O) option adjoins a third edge of the CPU core and the parallel edges of the RAM and ROM. The input/output option is adapted to allow interfacing with various peripheral devices. The CPU core comprises CPU and segments commonly used to form a complete microprocessor. Such common segments may include a RAM address register facilitating access to the CPU by the peripheral devices.

Abstract: A microcomputer universal package has testing terminals and switching circuitry for selecting first and second operations. In the first operation, as an evaluator type, a test device is connected to the testing terminals of the package. In the second operation, as a piggyback type, a rewritable ROM (EPROM) is connected to the testing terminals of the package. The testing terminals are automatically switched for the particular operation by the switching circuitry. Accordingly, the same device can be used as the evaluator type chip and the piggyback-type chip, which reduces the time and the cost of developing the program. In addition, since the piggyback-type chip, the evaluator-type chip, and a mask-type ROM chip can be constructed with the same pin arrangement, the program can be evaluated by the evaluator-type chip in the mask-type ROM mounting board that becomes the final product without requiring an interface board.

Abstract: A compact case including a case proper and a lid member which are connected to each other through a hinge so that the case is freely opened and closed, wherein concave notches communicating with each other are formed in rear end portions of the case proper and lid member, the hinge is contained in the notches so that the rear end face of the hinge is not projected outward, the upper portion of the hinge is rotatably connected to the lid member through a first shaft, and the lower portion of the hinge is rotatably connected to the case proper through a second shaft.

Abstract: A vanity case comprises a main container having a receptacle and a cover, and a tray for detachably holding the main container therein. The receptacle has a space in which a pair of sliding pieces are disposed for an engagement with a projection of the cover. The sliding pieces are connected together in such manner that the inner ends approach each other to hold the projection therebetween when the outer ends are located away from each other and projected beyond the side walls of the receptacle by an elastic means. A means is provided for maintaining the cover in the closed position and upon rearward movement of the main container with respect to the tray, for releasing the closed position of the cover.

Abstract: A vanity case is provided in which an unlatch member is housed in a rectangular recess formed in either one of a receptacle member and a cover member and has its one end formed as a free end extending upwardly while the other end retained in the recess. The free end is arranged to lie closely adjacent to a marginal portion of the other member in a closed position of the cover and also arranged to move inwardly to apply such force as to separate the cover from the receptacle, thereby releasing the engagement of the latching members when the unlatch member is pushed inwardly.
