Abstract: [Object] To improve step coverage of a coating film [Solving Means] A deposition apparatus that includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a first power supply source, a second power supply source, and a phase adjuster is used. The first power supply source includes a first high-frequency power source and a first matching circuit, the first high-frequency power source outputting first high-frequency power, the first matching circuit being connected between the first high-frequency power source and the first electrode. The second power supply source includes a second matching circuit that outputs second high-frequency power, the second high-frequency power having the same period as the first high-frequency power and being lower than the first high-frequency power.

Abstract: Provided is a method of partially replacing a shell plate of a tower or a vessel, capable of partially replacing the shell plate of the tower or the vessel in a short construction period at low construction cost. The method of partially replacing a shell plate of a main distillation tower is a method for replacing a cylindrical shell plate portion 2 serving as one portion of the shell plate 1 of a main distillation tower, wherein two facing parts located in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical shell plate portion 2 to be replaced are partially cut off and removed, new partial shell plates 3 are respectively attached to openings 6 generated by the removal, and the removal and the attachment are repeated, so that the cylindrical shell plate portion 2 is replaced. The new partial shell plate 3 is obtained in a case where the cylindrical shell plate portion 2 is substantially equally split into a plurality of sections in the circumferential direction.

Abstract: In a vehicular seat 10 according to this invention, since a back shell 32 covers a back frame 31, as in the case where the shape of a seat back is formed of the urethane pad, the shape of the seat back is not easily changed. Thus, the passenger can be surely held. Further, since the back shell 32 is displaceably supported for the back frame 31, the back shell 32 is displaced according to the figure or posture of the passenger. This permits the passenger to sit with good riding comfort.

Abstract: A flat spring of a vehicular seat is elastically supported by means of supporting springs that extend in accordance with the load of an occupant. The seat has displacement sensors, first-stage determination step, second-stage determination step, and third-stage determination step. The displacement sensors output electrical signals corresponding to the respective elongations of the springs. The first-stage determination step determines the occupant in the seat in accordance with voltage values delivered from the displacement sensors. The second-stage determination step determines whether or not the result of determination by the first-stage determination step is maintained for a given period of time. The third-stage determination step compares the result of determination by the second-stage determination step with the preceding result of determination and specifies the occupant in accordance with the result of the comparison.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for stripping a meat net from a process meat product. The apparatus includes a base which is adapted to support at least one inner tube and one outer tube, with the inner tube including a container for secondarily processed meat goods. The outer tube is attached to the base body and is provided with a device for engaging an open end portion of the meat net. The inner tube is movably (and slideably) mounted within the outer tube so that it can be moved forwardly to the exterior of the base and the outer tube, and rearwardly back into a position within the outer tube.

Abstract: A hammer having a helve which includes a core attached at one end to a hammer head and a grip surrounding the core, the grip having a pair of axially extending passages therethrough, the passages being located in diametrically opposed relation to each other along a direction which is parallel to the striking direction of the hammer head. The axially extending passages absorb shock by allowing the grip to deform when the hammer head strikes an object which allows the user to maintain a tight grip of the hammer.

Abstract: A hammer head for a hammer which includes a nail-holding part which allows a nail to be initially driven in a wall by a worker using only one hand. The nail-holding part includes a striking surface which engages the head of a nail and a pair of pinching pieces which engage opposite sides of the shank of the nail therebetween. The pair of pinching pieces permit nails of various diameters to be held therebetween and the pair of pinching pieces are disposed adjacent to the striking wall for tightly holding the nail with the head of the nail in tight engagement with the striking wall. A groove is provided in the hammer head at a location further from the striking wall than the pinching pieces for supporting the shank of the nail. The nail-holding part is disposed within a recess in the hammer head and does not interfere with the normal operation of the hammer head.

Abstract: An optically guided, unmanned, load transporting vehicle, such as a fork-lift truck, includes an electric camera, such as an industrial television camera, and a controller for controlling the automatic running apparatus of the vehicle. Two reflectors are disposed in front of the camera so that the camera receives light from remote and near visual fields. A guide belt laid on floor for guiding the vehicle is formed with various bar codes representing halt, acceleration, deceleration, etc.
