  • Patent number: 9042946
    Abstract: An underwater communication device (100) is provided with a voice interface (4), a transceiving unit, a voice quality converting unit and a body (1), etcetera. A bone conduction/throat microphone unit, assembled in the voice interface (4), converts the vocal cord vibrations of a diver to voice signals. The voice quality converting unit converts the voice signals to voice signals based on a clearer voice. A transmitting unit, assembled in the transceiving unit, transmits the converted voice signals to the outside. A receiving unit, assembled in the transceiving unit, receives voice data which is transmitted from the outside. A bone-conduction speaker unit, assembled in the voice interface (4), outputs vibrations corresponding to the voice data received by the receiving unit. Attachment equipment (1, 2, 3) are put on a diver in a state where the bone-conduction speaker unit is in attached to the diver. The receiving unit and the bone-conduction speaker unit are integrally attached to the body (1).

  • Patent number: 6840173
    Abstract: A plate cylinder and printing plate holder for the cylinder is provided, which is capable of adjusting relative positions of plural printing plate holders and fixing the printing plate holders on the plate cylinder without causing misalignments of images among printing plates held by the printing plate holders even after overprinting. A plate cylinder (2) is equipped with at least two printing plates (P) wrapped around the outer circumference thereof. The plate cylinder comprises printing plate holders (6, 7) provided each per printing plate (P) for holding the printing plates (P) on the outer circumference of the plate cylinder. The printing plate holders include one printing plate holder (6) provided in a stationary state and fixed against the plate cylinder and other printing plate holders (7) provided adjustable to move in the circumferential direction of the plate cylinder (2) and fixable against the plate cylinder.

  • Patent number: 6062139
    Abstract: A device for adjusting an ink supply gap is employed in an ink fountain apparatus in which the bottom portion of the ink fountain apparatus forms a space for storing ink in cooperation with a peripheral surface of an ink fountain roller while a forward edge of the bottom portion faces the peripheral surface of the ink fountain roller in order to form a gap serving as an ink supply port. The device for adjusting an ink supply gap includes a plurality of blade segments and a plurality of ultrasonic linear motors corresponding to the blade segments. The blade segments are disposed on a base in a row extending in the axial direction of the ink fountain roller and are adapted to individually advance toward or retract from the ink fountain roller so as to adjust the opening of the ink supply port. The ultrasonic linear motors are adapted to individually advance or retract the corresponding blade segments.
