Abstract: A multi-color small amount painting system of the present invention stores small unit amounts of paint having a variety of paint colors and may selectively feed desired color paint to a painter of a painting robot or the like. The painting system stores the paint having a large number of paint colors in a stock unit in the form of paint cartridges. The paint cartridge of the paint color selected is picked up from the stock unit and carried by a carrier and is loaded on the painting robot or an automatic painting device. Subsequently, the paint within the paint cartridge loaded is fed to the painter of the painting robot or the automatic painting device by a paint feeding mechanism. In addition, the system ensure an advantage that the painting system is high in efficiency of painting work including the exchange of colors and is small in size as a whole.

Abstract: A triple-layer electrode structure or a multilayer interconnecting structure of a semiconductor device comprising a contact (a lower conductive) layer of aluminum or its alloy which comes into contact with a silicon substrate, a barrier layer of refractory metal nitride (e.g. titanium nitride) and refractory metal (e.g., tungsten), and a (upper) conductive layer of aluminum or its alloy. The TiN-W barrier layer prevents overdissolution of silicon into aluminum in spite of heat-treatment at a relatively elevated temperature. The barrier layer is formed by sintering a mixture of refractory metal nitride powder and refractory metal powder to form a target which is sputter deposited on the contact layer in an atomsphere excluding gaseous nitrogen.

Abstract: A reference signal generator generates a variable reference signal with which a signal indicating the momentary rotational speed of the prime mover (such as a gas turbine) for a generator is compared, to produce a rotational speed control signal in accordance with a signal representing the load applied to the prime mover, so as to compensate for the rotational speed fluctuation caused by load connection by holding the rotational speed of the prime mover above the desired level during no-load operation and at the desired level under load.

Abstract: A load connection command signal is utilized to raise the rotational speed of a power turbine of an electric generator above a rated speed thereof while the same signal is used to connect load to the generator after a predetermined period of time. A load disconnection command signal is utilized to lower the rotational speed of the power turbine below the rated speed while the same signal is used to disconnect load from the generator with a time delay.
