Abstract: The method of this invention for producing electrolyzed water containing ozone employs an apparatus for producing electrolyzed water from a liquid. The apparatus has two plate electrodes facing each other, a D.C. power source for applying a D.C. voltage across the electrodes and a control circuit for changing a polarity of the electrodes alternately. The method includes the step of producing electrolyzed water by changing the polarity, while a liquid is caused to flow in a flow passage between the electrodes, and the polarity is changed at an interval of time T as defined by formula (10): 0.5≦T≦(1/3)×(L/V)  (10) wherein; V: Velocity of flow of the liquid in the flow passage (cm/sec.), and L: Length of the electrodes as measured in the direction of flow of the liquid (cm).

The cathode plate has many through holes. The anode and cathode plates have therebetween a small distance defining a narrow passage therebetween. Water issuing from the nozzles flows into the passage through the holes of the cathode plate.

Abstract: An apparatus of spreading a fluid on the floor includes four rectangular application rotating bodies partially overlapping each other, and four nozzles supplying the fluid provided in rotation areas of the respective application rotating bodies. The rotation position of the application rotating body is detected by a light shielding plate and a photosensor. A control portion controls each component so that the fluid is applied onto the floor from a tank through the nozzle by a pump when the application rotating body is not directly under the nozzle. As a result, the apparatus of spreading a fluid on the floor capable of optimally controlling the quantity of the fluid to be applied according to the application condition can be provided.

Abstract: An electromagnetic device which comprises an excitation coil wound to assume a substantially cylindrical shape having an axially extending hollow space; a plunger made of a magnetic material accomodated within the hollow space for movement in an axial direction of the excitation coil between retracted and projected positions; yoke means made of a magnetic material and engageable with one end of the plunger to provide a magnetic path which may be interrupted in response to the movement of the plunger towards the projected position, said yoke means extending between the respective ends of the excitation coil and positioned external of the said excitation coil to provide a closed magnetic circuit including the plunger and the magnetic path; a permanent magnet made of intermetallic compounds of cobalt and one more rare earth elements disposed in the closed magnetic circuit so as to develop a magnetic force of attraction attracting the plunger onto the end of the yoke means opposed to the end of the plunger and ho

Abstract: A photographic camera of a type utilizing a roll of film comprises a camera back lid, a take-up spool for taking up the film therearound, and a plurality of switches incorporated in the take-up spool. The switches built in the take-up spool are all closed, when the film is turned around the spool, to generate a signal inidcative of the fact that the film has no doubt been secured to the spool. An electric circuit is also provided for disabling the film wind-up so long as the camera back lid has not yet been closed even though the film has already loaded in the camera.

Abstract: The camera detects coded perforations of the film at a detecting position for reading out information represented by coded perforations on the film. The camera back cover includes a pressure plate to resiliently abut the film at the exposure station and coacts with film abutting structure to maintain the film flat at a detecting position such that the coded perforations on the film can be read out to generate a film sensitivity signal and two different outputs are provided to indicate whether or not the film is of standard sensitivity and the film sensitivity is displayed. The display modes are changeable.

Abstract: A camera capable of functioning in accordance with informations received from a roll of film, and is provided with circuitry for generating first and second electric signals each changing in response to respective passages of the sprocket holes with a time lag provided between the changes in the first and second electric signals, with the sprocket hole signal indicative of the passage of sprocket holes being formed in response to the first and second electric signa

Abstract: A single lens reflex camera has a built-in winder which includes a reciprocating member reciprocatable in response to forward and reverse rotations of a motor for automatic charge-up of the camera mechanisms as well as for automatic film wind-up.A charge-type drive mechanism has a charge member which is pushed by the reciprocating member upon the forward movement of the latter due to the forward rotation of the motor to move forward for causing the charge-type drive mechanism to store a driving force.The reciprocating member retracts from the charge member upon its return movement so as not to impede return movement of the charge member. An operation mechanism such as a shutter is operated for photographing under the driving force stored in the charge-type drive mechanism, accompanying return movement of the charge member. A film advance mechanism advances a film in response to the return movement of the reciprocating member due to the reverse rotation of the motor.

Abstract: An electromagnetically driven device has a bobbin made of non-magnetic material and has an opening formed in its axial direction. A coil is wound on the bobbin for establishing a magnetic field inside and around the bobbin when electric current is supplied to the coil. A plunger made of magnetic material is inserted into the opening for movement in its axial direction. A magnet is attached to one end of the plunger for increasing the driving force of the plunger when electric current is supplied to the coil.

Abstract: An electromagnetically driven device has a coil and a plunger movably inserted in the coil between an inserted and ejected positions. An armature carrying a permanent magnet is provided at one end of the coil for holding the plunger in the inserted position by a magnetic attractive force developed between the armature and the plunger when the coil is deenergized. A yoke is provided between the permanent magnet and the armature for establishing a magnetic circuit therebetween with a predetermined reluctance developed between the armature and the yoke.

Abstract: A single lens reflex camera is provided with a reflex mirror actuating mechanism and automatic diaphragm control mechanism, with each mechanism being delayed to operate at a proper speed. The diaphragm control mechanism arrests operation of a diaphragm driving means during stopping down of the diaphragm by means of an electromagnet actuated in response to the output of a diaphragm control circuit which compares set exposure factors with the brightness of an object to be photographed, while measuring the brightness through the diaphragm aperture that is being driven.

Abstract: An electrically controlled self-timer is operable only when an eye-piece shutter is moved to an operative position to block extraneous light having passed through an eye-piece of the viewfinder optics to prevent it from impinging on a light responsive element, which is normally disposed to receive scene light having passed through a camera objective to generate an electric signal commensurate with the intensity of the light thus received for automatic exposure control. When a manually operable member is at a predetermined position, the eye-piece shutter is moved to the operative position and a switch is closed to operate a self-timer control circuit.

Abstract: Exposure indicating devices for use in multi-exposure controlled cameras are disclosed. In the multi-exposure controlled camera, the diaphragm and/or the shutter speed are preferentially preset, that element or factor for governing exposure which has not been preset is automatically controlled. According to the present invention, exposure indicating devices are used to notify the camera operator, prior to exposure, how the shutter speed and diaphragm aperture to be eventually effected will be commensurate with the brightness of an object, according to the controlled lighting of two illuminative indicating members.
