Abstract: The main purpose of a vehicle digital movement data recording apparatus according to the present invention is to cope with a shortage of the memory space in the digital movement data recording area of an external record medium. For completing this objective, the recording apparatus, includes a digital movement data generating device for supervising the moving state of the vehicle and producing the digital movement data thereof. A storage device records the digital movement data produced by the digital movement data generating device onto a digital movement data recording area of an external record medium which can be loaded into and unloaded from the recording apparatus. A detecting device detects the situation that there is no more available space for recording the digital movement data the data recording area of the external record medium.

Abstract: A vehicle movement digital data analyzing apparatus according to the present invention is for processing moving conditions of a vehicle momentarily varying with time which are recorded and collected in a record medium, and capable of converting a portion thereof into an enlarged graph to be displayed on display device.

Abstract: A first grating is formed on a main scale, and a second and third gratings on an index scale. The first grating generally assumes a cruciform shape, and consists of a grating having grating lines arranged in the X-direction and another grating having grating lines arranged in the Y-direction. The second grating is formed in a square central area of the index scale, and consists of two gratings having grating lines arranged in the X-direction and divided at the center and another two gratings having grating lines arranged in the Y-direction and divided at the center. The third grating consists of four gratings having grating lines arranged in the X-direction with different phases and another four gratings having grating lines arranged in the Y-direction with different phases. A light-emitting element and eight photodetectors that are arranged corresponding to the respective gratings of the third grating are fixed to a movable member on which the index scale is attached.

Abstract: In one type of an angular velocity sensor, a constant vibration is applied in an X direction to one end of a vibrator which is fixed at another end and the vibrator vibrates in a Y direction perpendicular to the X direction by an action of Coriolis force caused by the angular velocity of the vibrator about the Z axis with an amplitude proportional to an angular velocity about a Z axis. An angular velocity sensor of this invention utilizes a photoelectric encoder for measurement of the vibration amplitude of the vibrator in the Y direction. The encoder includes a main scale mounted on the free end of the vibrator; an index scale mounted on a housing of the sensor to face the main scale; and a photoelectric element for sensing light reflected from the main scale and passing through the index scale.

Abstract: A reference light transmission window is provided in the vicinity of a sub grating disposed on a usual index scale, and a light transmitted by the reference light transmission window is photoelectrically converted to a reference signal. When a main scale is of an optical transmission type, a light transmitted through a reference light transmission window of a second index scale, which is provided on the opposite side to the usual index scale so as to put the main scale between the second index scale and the usual index scale, or a light among those modulated by the main grating and by the sub grating, which light is not used for displacement detection, is photoelectrically converted to a DC level detection signal. The reference signal or DC level detection signal is used to correct DC level variations of the displacement detection signal.

Abstract: An automatic analytic apparatus of liquids has a liquid analyzer; a gas-admissible tube connected to the analyzer so as to conduct a liquid thereto; and means to collect a specified amount of liquid sample being analyzed, and, each time the collected amount of said liquid reaches said specified amount, automatically carry the liquid sample batch forward with a prescribed amount of air or any other inert gas interposed between the adjacent batches of said liquid sample, thus continuously passing alternate series of flowing liquid and gas batches respectively having a predetermined quantity through the above-mentioned tube.
