Abstract: A twin injection molding machine includes: a mold clamping device configured to clamp a mold; and first and second injection devices each including: a heating cylinder; a screw disposed in the heating cylinder; and a screw driving device including driving system components and configured to drive the screw. The first and second injection devices are disposed symmetrically with respect to a machine center line of the mold clamping device. The driving system components provided in the screw driving device of the first injection device and the driving system components provided in the screw driving device of the second injection device are each disposed on a side away from the machine center line in the respective screw driving devices.

Abstract: An air intake device of an internal combustion engine which is capable of enhancing the air intake efficiency and reducing the size is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head, an intake manifold provided at a longitudinal side surface of the cylinder head, and a head cover provided on the cylinder head. The air intake device of the internal combustion engine includes an air cleaner including an upper casing and a lower casing detachably coupled to each other and incorporating a filter element, an atmospheric air introduction pipe for introducing air to the air cleaner, and an intake pipe extending from the air cleaner to the intake manifold.

Abstract: An air intake device of an internal combustion engine which is capable of enhancing the air intake efficiency and reducing the size is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head 4, an intake manifold 6 provided at a longitudinal side surface of the cylinder head, and a head cover 5 provided on the cylinder head 4. The air intake device of the internal combustion engine includes an air cleaner 9 including an upper casing 11 and a lower casing 10 detachably coupled to each other and incorporating a filter element 12, an atmospheric air introduction pipe 14 for introducing air to the air cleaner, and an intake pipe 15 extending from the air cleaner to the intake manifold. The air cleaner is provided at an end of the head cover in a direction of the crank axis so that the lower casing of the air cleaner vertically corresponds to the head cover.

Abstract: A metal sheet is formed with a target shape portion, a remaining portion surrounding the target shape portion and elongated portion(s) joining the target shape portion with the remaining portion. An apparatus cuts out the target shape portion from the metal sheet by shearing the joint portion at a region bordering on the target portion. The apparatus includes a blade member movable to a position below the joint portion and a fixed blade member for pressing the joint portion from above. The apparatus, being placed at a fixed position, rotates or linearly moves the movable blade member with respect to the fixed blade member to shear the joint portion at the region and bend a sheared-side end of the joint portion upward.

Abstract: A system includes a content information database which stores therein content information about contents associated with broadcast programs on a channel-and-time-specific basis that corresponds to a channel and a time of each broadcast program, the content information including at least one of content guide information descriptive of the contents and content location information indicative of locations of the contents on a network. The system further includes a content selecting unit which searches in the content information database for the content information of a specific channel and a specific time in response to a request from a user terminal indicating at least one of the specific channel and the specific time in a direct or indirect manner, and provides the content information of the specific channel and the specific time to the user terminal.

Abstract: With a metal sheet formed with a target shape portion, a remaining portion surrounding the target shape portion and elongated joint portion(s) joining the target shape portion with the remaining portion, the apparatus cuts out the target shape portion from the metal sheet by shearing the joint portion at a region bordering on the target portion to cut out the target shape portion. The apparatus comprises a movable blade member designed to move to a position below the joint portion and a fixed blade member for pressing the joint portion from above. The apparatus, being placed at a fixed position, rotates or linearly moves the movable blade member with respect to the fixed blade member to shear the joint portion at a region bordering on the target portion and bend a sheared-side end of the sheared joint portion upward.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a let-off motion in a loom having a let-off motion motor includes a tension detector for detecting a warp tension to produce a tension correction signal, a control unit responsive to the tension correction signal for producing a speed signal, a driving amplifier for controlling the let-off motion motor in response to the speed signal, a warp coil diameter detector for issuing a warp coil diameter correction signal inversely proportional to the diameter of a warp coil on a beam to the driving amplifier, and a normal-reverse rotation control unit responsive to the warp coil diameter correction signal for selectively applying prescribed normal- and reverse-rotation signals dependent on a rotation command to the driving amplifier. With this arrangement, the motor is rotated at a desired constant speed for feeding out or rewinding the warp yarn for a desired length irrespectively of the warp coil diameter.
