Abstract: A temperature adjustment system includes: a refrigeration cycle circuit including a first compressor, a heat radiator, a first expansion valve, a chiller configured to perform heat exchange using the expanded refrigerant, and a gas-liquid separator configured to perform gas-liquid separation on the refrigerant and supply a gas phase refrigerant to the first compressor; a first cooling water circuit including an external heat radiator; a second cooling water circuit configured to heat the cooling water flowing therethrough by the heat of the refrigerant radiated by the heat radiator; a third cooling water circuit configured to cool the cooling water flowing therethrough, and adjust a temperature of a device by heat exchange with the cooling water; a first valve configured to connect or disconnect the first and the second cooling water circuits; and a second valve configured to connect or disconnect the second and the third cooling water circuits.

Abstract: This invention provides an electrical apparatus that includes a main body portion, a battery pack, and a frame portion. The main body portion comprises a converting portion that may convert electric power to one of light, wind, heat, and sound; and an outputting portion. The battery pack may detachably mounted on a battery holder provided at the main body portion, and may supply electric power to the converting portion. The frame portion may rotatably support the main body portion, and may define a first ground contact plane that can contact a ground surface and a second ground contact plane that can contact the ground surface at a different angle from an angle of the first ground contact plane. The main body portion may be rotatable relative to the frame portion without contacting the ground surface.

Abstract: To provide an electric device that includes a compact cover that is easy to open and close. A portable radio 1 includes: a housing 2 including a device body 2A and a cover 2B, the device body 2A including an adapter compartment 9 configured to accommodate an adapter 8 connectable to an external power supply and a battery compartment 7 disposed at a different position from the adapter compartment 9 and configured to accommodate a battery 6, the cover 2B being configured to expose and close the adapter compartment 9 and the battery compartment 7; an adapter connector 21 provided at the device body 2A and connectable to the adapter 8; and a speaker 23 configured to be operated by accommodating the battery 6 in the battery compartment 7 or by connecting the adapter 8 to the adapter connector 21 and the external power supply.

Abstract: The present invention provides a power tool in which the permanent set of an elastic member is suppressed and the vibration reduction effect is maintained over a long period of time. A rubber ring is disposed as the elastic member between a wheel washer mounted on a spindle and a substrate of a diamond wheel, and these are secured by a locknut screwed to a tip of the spindle. This rubber ring absorbs the vibrations applied to the diamond wheel at grinding work. A mounting hole of the substrate is mounted on a boss portion of the wheel washer with a clearance fit, and spring pins whose both ends are supported by the wheel washer and a portion of a holding plate in the locknut are inserted into insertion holes of the substrate and insertion holes of the rubber ring with a clearance fit.

Abstract: The electric tool includes a base having an opening portion and a bottom face; a blade being projected downward from the bottom face of the base through the opening portion of the base, the blade being capable of cutting while sliding the bottom face of the base on an upper face of a work piece; a motor driving the blade; a housing accommodating the motor. The bottom face of the base is at least partially coated with a resin including fluorine.

Abstract: To a power tool main body to which a main body spindle rotationally driving a tip tool is provided, a dust collection adapter for collecting dusts generated when a material to be ground is processed by the tip tool is held thereto. The dust collection adapter includes: a dust collection fan rotationally driven by the main body spindle; and a dust collection cover for containing the dust collection fan and covering a diametrical outside of the tip tool. The dust collection fan includes: a fan main body to which a plurality of blade portions are provided; and a threaded shaft portion provided to a center portion of the fan main body. To the threaded shaft portion, a female thread portion thread-coupled to the main body spindle and a male thread portion thread-coupled to a fastening thread member for fixing the tip tool are provided.

Abstract: A power tool including a gear unit provided with a load moderating mechanism capable of reducing noise and prolonging service life. A coupling is force fitted with a spindle at a predetermined pressure allowing the spindle and the coupling to rotate relative to each other when a load exceeding a predetermined load is applied therebetween. A gear has a surround section having a convex and surrounding the coupling. The coupling has an abutment projection abutable against the convex and a damper projection. An elastic member is interposed between the damper projection and the surround section. Rotation of the gear is transmitted to the spindle through the elastic member and the coupling.

Abstract: A method of making fibrous alkali titanates comprising the steps of preparing a mixture including a titanium compound and an alkali metal compound in a molar ratio of 1.0 to 8.0 in terms of TiO.sub.2 :M.sub.2 O (M: Na, K, Rb, Cs), heating said mixture at a temperature of 1200.degree. to 1600.degree. C to the molten (liquid) phase, cooling the thus heated mixture to room temperature , and washing the thus treated product. This method is advantageous because fibrous alkali titanates of large ratio of length to diameter can be easily produced in high yield.
