  • Patent number: 6500339
    Abstract: The invention provides a filtration apparatus for filtering and regenerating a machining fluid. The filtration apparatus includes a dirty tank for receiving the machining fluid and a clean tank fluidly connected to the dirty tank. A filter is provided between the dirty and the clean tanks for filtering the machining fluid which flows from the dirty tank into the clean tank. A conveyer mechanism is provided in the dirty tank for conveying the sediment of particles separated from the machining fluid in the dirty tank. A filter cleaning device are provided for cleaning the filter. The filter cleaning device includes a nozzle bar which is provided in the clean tank for rotation within a plane parallel to the filter means. The nozzle bar directs the machining fluid in the clean tank onto the filter means to blow the particles off the filter means into the dirty tank.

  • Patent number: 6052077
    Abstract: A device for binary-coding a read signal from a magnetic tape is capable of reading correct digital data by setting an optimum threshold voltage of a comparator which digitalizes an analog read signal. The device includes a binary-coding section 10 which outputs a value "1" when the analog read signal exceeds a predetermined reference threshold voltage, and outputs a value "0" when the analog read signal does not exceed the threshold voltage, and a threshold voltage setting section 20 which increases or decreases the threshold voltage of the binary-coding section 10 by a predetermined amount with respect to a predetermined reference voltage when a record density ID of the magnetic tape is incorrectly binary-coded by the binary-coding section 10.

  • Patent number: 4423806
    Abstract: A device for performing the change of a pallet between a pallet support and a machine tool. The device has a pallet holding structure for holding a pallet while the change of a pallet is carried out, and a pallet transferring structure for transferring the pallet holding structure when that structure is holding a pallet to be changed between the pallet support and the machine tool. The pallet transferring structure is mounted on one of the two lateral movement elements of the machine tool so that the pallet transferring structure is operated in association with the movements of the two lateral movement elements of the machine tool.
