  • Patent number: 6259248
    Abstract: A pulse signal generator comprises a magnetic element (10) capable of causing a large Barkhausen jump, a detector for detecting a change of magnetic field in the magnetic element, a magnetic field source (30) for magnetizing the magnetic element in a predetermined direction and a permanent magnet (40). The pulse signal generator further comprises an auxiliary member (50) provided such that the magnetic element is flanked between the permanent magnet and the auxiliary member and is in a magnetic field between the permanent magnet and the auxiliary member. The magnetic field varies with movement of an object (60) to be detected with respect to the permanent magnet to produce a magnetic change in the magnetic element which is detected by the detector to produce a pulse.

  • Patent number: 5458455
    Abstract: A cartridge shell plate stacking apparatus has a plurality of arms circulating along an annular cam rail. Each arm has a magnet in its distal end. The cam rail lowers the distal end of the arm in a pick-up station to cause the magnet to attract one of the cartridge shell plates successively conveyed on a bucket conveyer and hold the shell plate in the horizontal state with plush ribbons stuck on the upside surfaces. The cam rail also lowers the distal end of the arm in a piling station wherein a piling box having a cut-out formed in the top edge of a side wall is disposed. Although the distal end passes through the cut-out, the cartridge shell plate cannot pass and strikes against the side wall, thereby to drop into the piling box.
