Abstract: A terminal mounted in advance on a battery of an instrument that is a management target wirelessly transmits a battery state obtained by detecting an electric property related to a remaining battery amount of the battery and a terminal ID for identifying the terminal, and a management device displays remaining amount information related to the battery remaining amount on a screen based on the terminal ID and the battery state received from the terminal. This allows a user to easily figure out the remaining amount of a battery being used in an existing instrument.

Abstract: To provide a polyacetal resin composition and a molded article thereof, which are less likely to crack even if stressed in contact with any hydrochloric acid-containing liquid. The polyacetal resin composition contains, per 100 parts by mass of a polyacetal resin: 0.01 to 10 parts by mass of at least one fatty acid metal salt selected from 1) to 3) below; and 0.1 to 5 parts by mass of a stress relaxant having a melting point of 67.5° C. to 200° C. when measured by using a differential scanning calorimeter at a flow rate of nitrogen of 20 cm3/min and at a heating rate of 10° C./min. 1) metal salt formed of long chain fatty acid having 10 to 34 carbon atoms and calcium; 2) metal salt formed of long chain fatty acid having 10 to 34 carbon atoms and zinc; and, 3) metal salt formed of long chain fatty acid having 10 to 34 carbon atoms and magnesium.

Abstract: A moving element (21) holding a workpiece (a hub unit bearing (1)) is horizontally loaded into an internal space (23) of an exterior (17) from an external space of the outer package (17), while being guided by a guide member (20) through an opening portion (a front surface side opening portion (25)) provided in the exterior (17) constituting a rotary forging apparatus (16). After completion of the loading process, the workpiece is subjected to rotary forging, using a forming die (18).

Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator including first and second piezoelectric cantilevers is disclosed. Wirings are provided on an upper surface of a support body on which the first and second piezoelectric cantilevers are formed. The wirings are formed of patterned metal films.

Abstract: In a light-emission and reception module for use in an optical pickup, a polarization beam splitter transmits an outgoing laser beam from the laser-emitting element and reflects, as a reflected laser beam, a return laser beam reflected by the optical disc in a direction perpendicular to the outgoing laser beam. The laser-emitting element, the polarization beam splitter, and the photo-detecting element are mounted on the holder. The reflected laser beam is perpendicular to a reception surface of the photo-detecting element.

Abstract: A muffler including a long outlet pipe 20 having an exhaust gas inlet pipe portion 21, a return pipe portion 22, an exhaust gas outlet pipe portion 23, and two turnaround pipes 24, 25 for connecting the three pipe portions 21, 22, 23 together in series. These pipe portions 21, 22, 23 are arranged in parallel with one another along a longitudinal direction of a shell 2, and in such a manner that longitudinal axes 21L, 22L, 23L of the pipe portions are positioned at respective vertices of a triangle.

Abstract: A pattern of lead terminals 22 is formed on a side face of a head body 4 provided with reproduction magnetic heads 9 each being formed with a magnetic gap 11 for reproducing at least an information signal, etc., recorded on a magnetic recording medium, and a preamplifier 6 for amplifying reproduction output detected by the magnetic gap 11 via the lead terminal 22 is mounted directly on the side face of the head body 4.

Abstract: A magnetoresistive element has a first end face for detecting an external magnetic field and a second end face which is opposed to the first end face. A pair of vertical bias layers sandwich the magnetoresistive element so as to expose the first and second end faces, to apply a bias magnetic field to the magnetoresistive element. Each of the vertical bias layers includes a face, which is continuous and flush with the second end face, having a length of 1.5 &mgr;m or greater. Alternatively, each of the vertical bias layers includes a face which is continuous with the second end face, and inclined by 0 to 45 degrees with respect to the second end face.

Abstract: A manual cleaner has a case, a roller brush having driven rollers and mounted between the side plates of the case, wheels kept in contact with the driven rollers and mounted on axles extending in parallel with the roller bruch, and dust pans provided at both sides of the roller brush. The dust pans are formed at both sides with bearing projections rotatably received in the side plates of the case so as to be pivotable about the projections. The projections are each formed with an axle receiving hole elongated horizontally so that the axles received in the holes can move toward and away from the roller brush. Thus the wheels can move toward and away from the driven rollers while keeping the dust pans in a stationary position. The shaft of the roller brush has both ends vertically movably mounted in bearing plates provided at both sides of the case and biased by springs downwardly. Spring members integrally formed on the bearing plates extend in opposite directions to abut and urge the dust pans closed.
