Abstract: A communication control device includes a communication unit, a reception unit, and a controller. The communication unit transfers first image data obtained from a first processing device to an external control device for each portion among portions that are predetermined transfer units, and transfers second image data transferred from the external control device to a second processing device, the communication control device and the external control device being included in a system and being connected to each other via a communication line for half-duplex communication. The reception unit receives a signal that is transmitted during an interval between the portions of the first image data. The controller performs control so as to start obtaining the second image data transferred from the external control device in a case where the signal is received by the reception unit.

Abstract: A communication control device includes a communication unit, an acquiring unit, and an adjusting unit. The communication unit transfers first image data acquired from a first processing unit to an external controller of a system, receives second image data transferred from the external controller during an interval between pieces of the first image data transferred in predetermined units, and transfers the received second image data to a second processing unit. The system includes the communication control device and the external controller connected to the communication control device by a half-duplex communication line. The acquiring unit acquires a length of a transfer period for transferring the second image data. The adjusting unit adjusts timing of acquiring the first image data in accordance with the length of the transfer period acquired by the acquiring unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a switching unit and a controller. The information processing apparatus performs a data sending and receiving operation with an external apparatus via a data line which is compliant with a predetermined standard. The switching unit switches the information processing apparatus to a host device or a non-host device in accordance with a state of the information processing apparatus. The controller controls a data sending and receiving operation performed with the external apparatus. The controller controls a data sending and receiving operation for a host device when the information processing apparatus is switched to the host device. The controller controls a data sending and receiving operation for a non-host device when the information processing apparatus is switched to the non-host device.

Abstract: In producing an injection molded product by making a molten material flow from a cylinder through a plurality of gates in a die into a cavity and thereby filling the cavity with the molten material, a part of the flows of the molten material coming from a part of the gates is decreased or stopped before the flows of the molten material coming from a plurality of gate attain confluence in the cavity, and the flows of the molten material are made confluent by the flowing action of the flow(s) of the molten material coming from residual gate(s). According to the process of the present invention, the problem of mechanical properties in the injection molded products can be solved without adding any new apparatus to a general-purpose injection molding machine.

Abstract: A plastic pallet comprises a pair of deck boards opposed to each other in parallel with each other, a pair of outer girder portions respectively disposed at a pair of opposite side portions of the deck boards, an inner girder portion placed midway between the outer girder portions, and a plurality of reinforcement ribs disposed on respective inner surfaces of said deck boards. Each of the outer girder portions includes a side wall and a first partition wall disposed between the deck boards. The inner girder portion includes a pair of second partition walls which are disposed in parallel with each other with a predetermined distance. The reinforcement ribs existing within a range of a distance extending inward and outward from the first partition wall have a total weight greater than the total weight of the reinforcement ribs existing within a range of the distance extending outward and inward from the second partition wall.

Abstract: An optical disk is provided which comprises two sheets of substrates; or two sheets of substrate and a reinforcing plate or a reinforcing rim; or one sheet of substrate and a reinforcing plate; which are bonded to form an integrated body having a spacer interposed therebetween, said spacer being made of elastomeric foam having a specific gravity of not more than 1.5 and an expansion ratio of not less than 1.5 as the material of the said spacer. This optical disk has a high adaptability of the drive and exhibits a high reliability, i.e. excellent vibration restricting performance, thereby being possible to provide a stable and highly accurate information processing.

Abstract: A control method for crushing massive furnace slag using a swingable type crushing apparatus in which a crushing clearance is increased or decreased in a stepwise manner by a hydraulic mechanism depending on crushing conditions of the massive furnace slag, which may be blast furnace slag, convertor slag, and electric furnace slag. A hydraulic pressure of a hydraulic mechanism is detected as a variable of the crushing conditions and is compared with a set value so as to adjust the crushing clearance.

Abstract: A slag disposal method for disposing of slags produced in furnaces during iron or steel making processes comprises employing the steps of magnetic sorting of masses of crude slags of a size greater than a value ranging between 300 to 500 mm obtained from the furnaces into slags rich in iron (above about 50 to 60 percent) and slags not rich in iron (below about 50 to 60 percent) and then applying a compressive force to the slags rich in iron to cause a coarse crushing and/or deformation to reduce the size and at the same time increase the iron content due to the breaking and separation of the slags from the metal. Further magnetic sorting and sieving after griding are provided to obtain concentrates having high iron content and to improve recovery efficiency.
