Abstract: In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus for use in magnetic resonance diagnosis of a patient, there is provided a transmitter-receiver coil affixed to a holding member or bracket which is movably supported by three easily hand bendable, flexible members which rigidly hold the position in which they are bent. The lower extremity of each flexible member is mounted upon a fixing member which can be moved longitudinally along a patient support or table for placement of the coil.

Abstract: A pair of dies are provided of which die faces are formed with depressions sequentially brought into engagement with a particular portion of a workpiece as the workpiece rolls between the die faces. By compressing the workpiece while driving the same to roll between the die faces, an excess metal of the workpiece is caused to flow into the depressions sequentially for thereby forming an asymmetrical part of the article.

Abstract: A clathrate compound comprising a water-soluble microbicide and at least one of (a) a bisphenol compound represented by formula (I) and (b) deoxycholic acid represented by formula (II):(a) bisphenol compound ##STR1## where X is a halogen atom, and R is a methylene, ethylidene, propylidene or isopropylidene group;(b) deoxycholic acid ##STR2##

Abstract: A clathrate compound is produced if a powdery host compound which reacts with a microbicide to form the clathrate compound is added into an aqueous solution of the microbicide. If the microbicide is separated from the clathrate compound, a microbicide of high purity can be obtained.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a display cabinet provided with a compartment. The compartment is divided into at least two spaces by a shelf for storing and displaying merchandise. The shelf is provided with a frame element which is slidably supported thereon. The frame element is supported on the shelf with a gap therebetween and determines the storage space for merchandise when the frame is placed in its normal position. When the frame element is pulled forward, the merchandise on the shelf is gathered by the frame and pushed to the front of the shelf for easy access. This also forms a space for loading additional merchandise in the back of the shelf. A stopper element is disposed at the front of the shelf to prevent merchandise from falling off the shelf when the frame element is pulled forward.

Abstract: A tuning device for an NMR imaging apparatus capable of functioning responsively and accurately in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The device includes LC circuit formed by coils and tuners including variable capacitors, and ultrasonic motors which tunes the LC circuits to a resonant frequency by adjusting the variable capacitors. An NMR imaging apparatus including this tuning device is also disclosed.

Abstract: According to the party selecting circuit arrangement of a telephone of the present invention, an owner of the telephone can avoid a mischievous call or an erroneous call since it is so arranged that a call sound is discharged through the speaker only when the number given by the party other than the owner of the telephone is coincident with the telephone number stored as a secret number in the memory circuit of the telephone. Moreover, the party selecting circuit arrangement according to the present invention enables the owner of the telephone to identify the other party before he or she answers the call since an indicating element which indicates the number of the auto-dialing operation button provided correspondingly to the memory circuit storing the secret telephone number is turned on only at the above-described time.

Abstract: A telephone call selector in a telephone which comprises a memory circuit for storing a plurality of telephone numbers; an automatic dialing device operable to read out one of the telephone numbers from the memory circuit and to output a dialed signal representative of such one of the telephone numbers; a comparator for comparing a number, corresponding to a DTMF signal transmitted from a calling party subsequent to the receipt of a ringing signal generated from a local telephone of the calling party, with any one of identifier codes; and a loudspeaker device for emitting ringing sounds when the the number corresponding to the DTMF signal coincides with such one of the identifier codes. The telephone numbers stored in the memory circuit are utilized as the respective identifier codes.

Abstract: A display case is provided with a compartment which stores merchandise for display and is divided into at least two chambers by a partition plate to enable storing different types of merchandise, each of which types is to be held under a predetermined temperature. These chambers communicate with one another through a communication gap which is defined between the partition plate and the window of the case and the opening and closing of the gap is controlled by a sealing mechanism to vary the temperature conditions within each chamber. The sealing mechanism includes a sealing element which is movably engaged with the partition plate and a retaining element is fastened on the partition plate to hold the selected position of the sealing element. Thus, the opening and closing control of the gap is easily operated without interfering with the visibility of the merchandise.

Abstract: The mass production system disclosed herein provides a method for producing highly aromatic petroleum pitch, comprising, preheating a liquefied petroleum residuum to a temperature of 450.degree.-520.degree. C. by passing the same through a tubular heater for 0.5-15 minutes, feeding the preheated residuum into a reaction vessel, thermally cracking the same by introducing an inert gas heated to a temperature of 400.degree.-2,000.degree. C. through a heating furnace into the reaction vessel for direct contact with the residuum for 0.5-10 hours, and adjusting to be coincident the ratio of the number of feeding flow lines for the preheated residuum from the tubular heater into the reaction vessels to the total number of reaction vessels with the ratio of the charging time .theta.C required for charging one reaction vessel with one feeding flow of preheated residuum to the total time .theta.T required for carrying out one batch of the thermal cracking in one reaction vessel.
