Abstract: The present invention provides a method for making a lithographic printing plate having high sensitivity and high printing endurance by scanner-exposing which comprises subjecting a photographic photosensitive material comprising a support and, provided thereon, an unfogged internal latent image type silver halide emulsion layer to scanner-exposing, subjecting the exposed photosensitive material to non-tanning development in the presence of a nucleating agent, and then subjecting the silver halide portion of the emulsion layer to an oleophilizing treatment.

Abstract: Printing endurance of a lithographic printing plate made by using silver complex diffusion transfer process is markedly improved and besides staining which occurs during printing can be effectively inhibited by containing in at least one of a layer which contains nuclei for physical development comprising a heavy metal of a sulfide thereof and a layer contiguous to said layer at least one water-soluble synthetic polymer having the following structural units: ##STR1## wherein A:B=100:0-50:50 (molar ratio)C:D=100:0-50:50 (molar ratio)(A+B):(C+D)=95:5-5:95 (molar ratio) and R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1-6 carbon atoms, R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group of 1-20 carbon atoms, R.sub.3 represents an alkyl group of 1-20 carbon atoms and M represents a hydrogen atom or a cation.

Abstract: A reverse rotation preventing mechanism for synchronous motors includes a stopper interposed between a frame of a synchronous motor and a suitable stationary member, the stopper, including a stopping portion having elasticity and a rotating member fixed to a rotor shaft of the synchronous motor, and the rotating member, including a metallic flywheel and a gear disposed on the central portion of the flywheel, the flywheel having an engagement portion. The engagement portion of the flywheel of the rotating member is engaged with the stopping portion of the stopper when the synchronous motor is rotated in the direction opposite to a predetermined direction.

Abstract: An electromagnetic solenoid drive apparatus for use in a vehicle for turning on an electromagnetic solenoid from a battery every time when a command switch is turned on comprises first and second resistors connected in series to each other on an electric line for flowing an electric current through the electromagnetic solenoid; a first switching element turned on in a state in which an output voltage of the battery is lower than a predetermined threshold voltage and short-circuiting both ends of the first resistor; a timer circuit operated for only a constant time in association with the turning-on operation of the command switch; and a second switching element turned on during only the operating period of the timer circuit and short-circuiting both ends of the second resistor.

Abstract: A liquid crystal antidazzle mirror comprising discharging electrodes respectively provided at electrodes of liquid crystal electrodes, a grounding electrode opposed to the discharging electrodes for discharging a static electricity charged in the liquid crystal section between the discharging electrodes and the grounding electrode. Thus, the antidazzle mirror can protect itself against a static electricity.

Abstract: A liquid crystal antidazzle mirror for supplying a power to liquid crystal drive control circuit when a key plate is inserted into a key cylinder which comprises a key position detecting switch for detecting that the key plate is inserted into the key cylinder, and an initializing circuit for initializing the liquid crystal drive control circuit to either special mode of predetermined antidazzle or dazzle state upon receiving a detection signal of the key position detecting switch. Thus, the antidazzle mirror can automatically initialize the antidazzle mirror to either special mode of a predetermined antidazzle and dazzle states when power is supplied from a battery.
