  • Patent number: 6544257
    Abstract: A thermal treatment apparatus comprises a control unit 251a that stops issuing a signal for laser beam activation transmitted over the foot switch signal cable 291 when the temperature obtained by the mirror temperature sensor 111 that detects the temperature of the laser emission part 122 provided at the laser irradiation unit 1 exceeds a predetermined value. This stops the output of the laser beam from the laser generator 3. Alternatively, the control unit can adjust the output value of the laser beam generated by the laser beam generator 3 by transmitting a signal via the communication cable 293 to change it in accordance with the detection signal of the mirror temperature sensor 111.

  • Patent number: 6434866
    Abstract: A construction machine having a device for attaching and detaching a counterweight according to the present invention comprises a lower traveling body; an upper rotating body mounted rotatably on the lower traveling body; the upper rotating body having a support bed standing out from a rear part thereof; and a device for attaching and detaching a counterweight mounted on the support bed. The attaching and detaching device comprises a telescoping device having a lower end pivotally connected in the vicinity of the support bed, a restiform body suspended through a guide portion provided on the telescoping device; and oscillating structure for oscillating the telescoping device around the lower end as fulcrum. The oscillating structure displaces the telescoping device extended from a substantially vertical attitude to an inclined attitude when the counterweight is detached.

The oscillating means displaces the telescoping device extended from a substantially vertical attitude to an inclined attitude when the counterweight is detached. According to the present invention, an inclined bed is not required, and locating of the counterweight to the support bed can be done easily.

  • Patent number: 5628771
    Abstract: A thermatological device comprising an applicator and a main body. The applicator has a microwave-applying section, a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor. The main body contains a control unit. The microwave-applying section applies microwaves to an affected part, thereby treating the part. The first temperature sensor detects the temperature of the affected part being treated. The, the second temperature sensor detects a part located adjacent to the affected part. The control unit controls the microwave-applying section to render the temperature detected by the first temperature sensor equal to a preset target temperature. The control unit causes the microwave-applying section to stop or reduce the emission of microwaves when the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor reaches a preset burn temperature.
