Abstract: A tube for a heat exchanger which is formed to have beads for dividing passages for a medium in the tube by roll forming, wherein base portions of the beads are formed to have a thickness (B) greater than a thickness of a plate material for the tube. The roll forming has a first step of sequentially bending the plate to have a depressed shape to form portions-to-be-bead which are to be intermediate forms of the beads, a second step of performing a width drawing of the portions-to-be-bead and a third step of compressing the portions-to-be-bead, after the second step, in a direction of the height of the beads, wherein a width (w′) of the depressions of the portions-to-be-bead (21a) in the first step is larger than a width (w) of depressions of beads (21) after forming, and a height (h′) of portions-to-be-bead (21b) after the second step is determined to be higher than a height (h) of the beads (21) after forming.

Abstract: A heat exchanger comprises a plurality of tubes layered with fins intervened between them, header pipes disposed on the end portions of the tubes, and side plates for holding the tube layer, wherein each of the side plates (8) is connected to a side plate insertion hole (10) formed on the header pipe (3) or (4) by inserting its end portion (82) into the side plate insertion hole and forming a taper on the end portion (82) of the side plate (8) to decrease a thickness toward the leading end (82a). The end portions (82) of the side plates (8) are tapered toward the leading ends to decrease a width, contact portions (81a) are formed on the side plate to contact with the outer surface of the header pipes (3), (4), and the contact portions are brazed with the outer surface of the header pipe.

Abstract: The level of the spectrally spread anti-duplication control signal to be superimposed on an information signal such as a video signal is changed by using a random number RD generated by a random number generation unit 163. Since it is made difficult to follow after the change of the level of the spectrally spread anti-duplication control signal, elimination of the anti-duplication control signal from the information signal is made further difficult. This can surely provide the anti-duplication control signal to the receiving side.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing flat tubes by forming a flat tube body from a single plate material which is continuously drawn from a drum by either folding it into two or placing two plate materials one upon the other, and cutting the flat tube body in a predetermined length. The method is characterized by the steps of placing the plate material with its inner surface facing downwardly at any selected stage before completion of folding the plate into two, or before completion of placing two plates one upon the other; fluxing the inner surface of the plate material with a liquid flux material, and drying the applied flux material.

Abstract: When forming a circular tube-shaped header pipe by rolling a plate material, surfaces extending at a right angle to the internal and external surfaces of the plate material are formed at the two side edges extending in the lengthwise direction, and the plate material is rolled in such a manner that the two side edges face opposite each other while setting the two side edges in a non-contact state. In this process, the gap between the two side edges is set at or less than 0.3 mm. In order to manufacture this header pipe, a plate material that has been cut to a specific length is trimmed in the direction of its short side to achieve a specific dimension and also at a right angle to the front and rear surfaces of the plate material. After a piping insertion hole is formed, the entirety of the plate material is rolled so that its cross section achieves a U-shape.
