Abstract: When high purity silicon is produced through a gas-phase reaction between silicon tetra-chloride and zinc in a reaction furnace, the produce silicon is obtained as block or molten state. after the reaction in which the silicon is not in contact with air and reaction temperature is maintained at melting point of the silicon or less.

Abstract: To provide a data storage device and a data storage system capable of giving an arbitrary name to a folder and a file in each data to be stored in a memory. For example, pieces of code information are corresponded to respective two-dimensional bar codes and stored in a code information DB 14b, and a code recognition unit 14 recognizes a code stored in the code information DB 14b from image data obtained by picking up an image by a camera unit 13a, and a piece of the code information corresponding to the recognized code is extracted from the code information DB 14b. In addition, based on the extracted piece of the code information, a name generation unit 15 generates a folder name or a file of an image file stored in a recording medium 17.

Abstract: Disclosed is a heat insulating structure in which the surrounding of a heat insulating material such as glass wool is covered with and glued to a casing material such as a poly-film, wherein hotmelts (4,5,6) are applied to the center part or all and an inner portion d and an outer portion e of both ends of a poly-film (3b), and a glass wool (2) is placed on the center to apply a hotmelt (7) to the surface, which is then covered with an aluminum deposition poly-film. In the lower reaches of the conveyer, both ends of the lower poly-film (3b) are folded at the divided line between the inner portion d and the outer portion e to form a three-ply structure, which is pressed to fix, is cooled to normal temperature, and is cured. This heat insulating structure is featured in that improvement in productivity and high adhesive strength can be attained.

Abstract: A test device which employs a scan path method includes a latch circuit for holding a scan in signal, a transfer gate connected between the scan in signal and an input terminal of the latch circuit and having a gate terminal receiving a clock signal, a select circuit for selecting one of a data signal and an output signal from the latch circuit in response to a mode select signal and for outputting the selected signal, and a flipflop circuit for holding an output signal from the select circuit in response to the clock signal and for outputting the held signal as a scan out signal.

Abstract: A disc changer for sequentially playing back a plurality of discs such as compact discs has a circular tray rotatably mounted on a base for supporting a plurality of discs replacably mounted on a horizontal surface. A drive mechanism rotates the tray and stops the tray to position one of the discs in a playback position. A recorded signal is reproduced from the disc in the playback position by a pickup. The pickup is vertically moved and stopped in a predetermined vertical position by a lifting/lowering mechanism. A pickup cover is disposed over the tray in covering relation to the pickup and the disc in the playback position. The disc changer also has a dust cover hinged to the base, for covering at least the tray, the dust cover having a transparent window extending over the tray.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery pack for supplying power to a portable radiotelegraphic unit. The battery pack comprises a rechargeable battery whose voltage varies with time in such a manner that is residual capacity can be estimated from the detected voltage of the battery, a voltage detector for detecting the voltage of the battery, and an indicator for visibly displaying the voltage detected by the voltage detector. With the above construction, the battery can be recharged when the battery voltage reaches a lower value and the discharging of the battery can be stopped when the battery voltage reaches an upper value. As a result, the battery is prevented from the overcharging and overdischarging, and the life and reliability of the battery are increased.

Abstract: A fluid feeding device in which a battery, a DC motor and an electric pump are housed within a portable case. A fluid in a fluid container mounted on and communicated with the electric pump is discharged from a fluid discharge gun in a predetermined quantity or continuously. The fluid feeding device is compact in size and light in weight so that an operator can easily carry it in a wide range, whereby the fluid feeding device can be easily used at a high place or at a narrow place. The fluid feeding device is used, for instance, for feeding grease into mechanical bearings or the like.

Abstract: A variable level converter comprising a first variable level converting unit, a second variable level converting unit and an amplifying transistor connected therebetween. Each of the first and second variable level converting units comprises an inverted L-type variable attenuator which includes a variable impedance element. Each variable impedance element is controlled by the same level control signal and has the same electric characteristics.

Abstract: A plurality of parallel push rods is vertically movably supported between an inactive position to which each push rod is normally biased and an active position in which it engages a drive mechanism of the tape recorder. Each of the rods is provided with a notched portion. A latch bar having a plurality of projections arranged along one edge thereof is pivotally supported at one end and has its opposite end biased toward the push rods to permit its projections to engage each of the notched portions of the rods. The notched portion of the rods has a first notch with which the associated projection of the latch bar normally engages when the push rods are in the inactive position and a second notch with which that projection engages to lock the push rod in the active position. At least one of the push rods is provided with a protrusion in the direction toward the latch bar to cause it to rotate about its pivot to unlock another push rod from the active position.
