Abstract: A combination weigher according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a plurality of weighing conveyors which are manually fed with objects and conveys the objects fed manually; a plurality of weight sensors to correspond to the weighing conveyors to measure weights of the objects; a control section which finds a discharge combination including a combination of the weighing conveyors holding the objects in which a total weight thereof falls within a target weight range, and activates the weighing conveyors selected to make up the discharge combination to convey the objects on the weighing conveyors in a first direction and discharge the objects from the weighing conveyors; and a collecting conveyor which is fed with the objects discharged from the one ends of the weighing conveyors, conveys the objects in a direction, and discharges the objects.

Abstract: A cylinder member of an automatic transmission that includes an outer peripheral introducing portion having a shape that is able to be formed by ironing without forming and trimming of a flange portion which was conventionally required for forming an outer peripheral introducing portion. Therefore, steps required for forming the flange portion are omitted, and the number of steps for manufacturing the cylinder member is reduced. Without using a large-scale press machine such as a progressive press and a transfer press, the cylinder member is manufactured by a smaller-sized press machine, thereby reducing equipment investment required for manufacturing the cylinder member.

Abstract: A parallel data transfer circuit wherein processing at a data transfer source circuit is simplified to reduce the time required for transfer and a data storage area of a data transfer destination circuit can be used effectively is disclosed. A plurality of data register sets for temporarily latching parallel data and a plurality of corresponding flag register sets are provided between a data transfer source circuit and a data transfer destination circuit. A register designation signal is outputted from the data transfer source circuit to designate a data register into which data should be written. Only when data should be written into the data register, a flag is placed into a corresponding flag register. Since the data transfer destination circuit fetches data only from those data registers corresponding to those flag registers in which a flag is held, parallel data can be received without forming a discontinuous empty portion in data storage area of the data transfer destination circuit.
