Abstract: A current control device supplies a current to a semiconductor laser in order to output laser light to the semiconductor laser, and includes a current commander and a supplier. The current commander outputs a command value corresponding to a current value by increasing the command value with a lapse of time until reaching a target command value corresponding to a current value for outputting the laser light with a predetermined strength. The supplier supplies a current with a size corresponding to the command value output by the current commander to the semiconductor laser.

Abstract: A composition for treating leather, fur and fibrous material which comprises a water-soluble and/or a water-dispersible polyurethane, and more particularly a composition comprising the following ingredients a), b), c) and d) in the following proportions:______________________________________ ingredient a); water-soluble and 5.0-100% by wt. water-dispersible polyurethane ingredient b); salt of divalent to 0.0-20% by wt. tetravalent metal ingredient c); surfactant 0.0-40% by wt. ingredient d); auxiliary ingredients 0.0-40% by wt. ______________________________________Leather and fur treated with the treating agent of the invention can be washed in water. Even when washed in water, they retain flexibility, have an excellent dimensional stability and are enhanced in water absorption into leather fiber. Further, they are improved in tear strength, tensile strength and hand and become easy to sew by means of a domestic sewing machine.

Abstract: A generator driving apparatus is provided with a thyristor driving device for driving a motor-generator, and the thyristor driving device always controls the driving of the motor-generator regardless of the number of rotations thereof. Also, when the motor-generator is coming to a stop, energy conserved in the motor-generator is regenerated to an electric power system through the thyristor driving device.
