Patent number: 7390320Abstract: An automatic urine disposal device has a urine collecting pad, vacuum pump, and urine tank. In the urine collecting pad, the top sheet comes in contact with the wearer's skin, the hydrophilic sheet is disposed on the bottom of the top sheet, and the urine absorbent sheet is disposed at the bottom. When discharged urine flows in the top sheet, the hydrophilic sheet widely diffuses urine to saturate its entire surface and then becomes non-breathable. As the vacuum pump vacuums the air from the urine tank, urine is directed from a urine drainage port of the urine collecting pad via a urine drainage tube to the urine tank which is a sealed container.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2004Date of Patent: June 24, 2008Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Uni-Charm CorporationInventors: Shigeru Machida, Junichi Kobayashi, Yuji Yoshitomi, Akiomi Kouno, Ryousuke Miyagawa, Ichiro Wada, Miou Suzuki

Patent number: 6450791Abstract: In a double toothed type scroll compressor, spiral wraps are formed on both sides of an end plate of an orbiting scroll, and wraps adapted to engage with the spiral wraps are formed on a stationary scroll. A dust wrap is formed on a side diametrically outside of the wrap of the stationary scroll. Grooves are formed on ends of the respective wraps to receive therein seal members formed of a high polymer material. Electric charge of static electricity produced when the seal members slide on surfaces of the mating end plate is made to flow from a bolt provided on an end of a crankshaft to the stationary scroll through a brush, thereby preventing accumulation of electric charge in a crankshaft.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2001Date of Patent: September 17, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Natsuki Kawabata, Kazuaki Shiinoki, Masakazu Aoki, Shigeru Machida, Toshiaki Yabe

Patent number: 6373575Abstract: A paper classification apparatus includes a heater for heating paper or a solvent supply unit for supplying a solvent to the paper, a detector, a computer, and a selector guide. The detector detects the reflection density of the paper after being heated or supplied with the solvent. The computer compares the detected reflecting density of the paper with a predetermined reference value stored in a memory. The selector guide classifies the paper on the basis of a comparison result of the reflection density. This apparatus can classify plain paper having an image formed with an ordinary image forming material, plain paper having an image formed with an erasable image forming material, and thermosensible paper.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 1999Date of Patent: April 16, 2002Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Satoshi Takayama, Shigeru Machida
