Abstract: A multi-core cable core aligning device is composed of a temporary holding mechanism, which is configured to arrange tips of a plurality of cores exposed at one end of a multi-core cable in a row along a predetermined arranging direction, and temporarily hold each one of the plurality of cores in such a manner as to be movable along the predetermined arranging direction, a transferring mechanism, which is configured to transfer the plurality of cores one by one while separating the plurality of cores held by the temporary holding mechanism one by one from other ones of the plurality of cores, and an aligning mechanism, which is configured to align and hold the plurality of cores with a predetermined space between adjacent ones of the plurality of cores while holding the plurality of cores transferred by the transferring mechanism one by one at spaced intervals.

Abstract: A non-reciprocal circuit element for transmitting a high-frequency signal of microwave band in one direction. The electrical characteristics of the non-reciprocal circuit element have been improved by using an insulating sheet having a thickness within a specific range thereby to regulate the distance between vertically adjacent strip electrodes within a specific range. Also, the product-to-product variation in the electrical characteristics of the non-reciprocal circuit element has been minimized by shaping the end portion of the strip electrode so as to extend in coplanar relationship to the top surface of the capacitor to be connected.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of this invention are to sort disks into predetermined ranks depending on their thickness. The disks are conveyed stepwise in each supply cassette at equal intervals, and partly pushed to measure their thickness. They are transferred from the supply cassette to a receiving cassette of the corresponding thickness rank.
