  • Patent number: 11958416
    Abstract: A sensor that includes a switch unit and that detects a pressure applied from the front side to the switch unit or a finger approaching the switch unit from the front side is located on the back side of upholstery. A base member has a protruding portion on its surface. The upholstery includes: a light-transmitting region that is located over a light guide portion of the base member and the switch unit of the sensor and that allows light from a light source to transmit therethrough to the front side; and a non-light-transmitting region that blocks the light from the light source. A raised portion that is raised on the front side of the upholstery is located near the light-transmitting region in the non-light-transmitting region of the upholstery. The protruding portion of the base member is placed in the raised portion from the back side of the upholstery.

  • Patent number: 5591334
    Abstract: The apparatus is formed of a centrifugal force and Coriolis force generating device and a gas and liquid separation device. The centrifugal force and Coriolis force generating device gives high energy to supplied liquid by generating a spirally flowing air stream therein, to thereby ion-dissciate the liquid. Also, it provides energy necessary to micronize and activates the liquid drops with the centrifugal force and Coriolis force acted in the spirally flowing air stream. The activated liquid drops ionize oxygen particles at the gaseous side when electric doublets is oriented on the surface of the liquid drops, thereby causing groups of negative ions to be generated. The gas and liquid separation device separates the gas and liquid sent out from the centrifugal force and Coriolis force generating device and discharges air including negative ions into the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 5436105
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a subtractive offset printing plate, in which a subtractive offset printing plate containing at least a composite diazo photo sensitive material and a hydroxyl group-having acrylic copolymer in the photosensitive layer is imagewise exposed and the thus imagewise-exposed printing plate is automatically conveyed and developed with a developer with applying (a) developing brush(es) under pressure to the moving printing plate in the presence of the developer, the brush(es) being rotated around the axis vertical to the surface of the printing plate and being moved by reciprocating motion to the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the printing plate and along the axis parallel to the surface of the printing plate. By the method, a good printing plate may be made, using a popular automatic additive developing machine of a particular system to which a subtractive developer involving few environmental problems is applied.
