  • Patent number: 5337794
    Abstract: A powder filling apparatus for filling a container with powder is provided. In the powder filling apparatus, a bottle is carried into a plurality of work units moving around successively. While the work units move to work stations disposed in a circumferential direction successively, the bottle is filled with powder by equally evacuating the inside and the outside of the container and dropping powder into the container simultaneously with raising the pressure outside the container. The bottle filled with powder is then taken out from the work units successively while the work units move around.

  • Patent number: 5331480
    Abstract: A dynamic tracking reproduction apparatus comprises an actuator for driving a magnetic head in a width direction of recording tracks formed on a recording and reproducing tape; error detector for detecting offsets of the magnetic head from a reference position in the width direction of the recording tracks as positional error signals on basis of signals read from the magnetic head; actuator driver for driving said actuator so that the magnetic head is directed to the reference position on the basis of the detected error signals; and a delay element for correcting time axis of the read signals so that the magnetic head can be located on the reference position on the basis of the detected error signals. Since the time axis fluctuations generated during dynamic tracking operation can be cancelled by the delay element, it is possible to generate reliable reproducing signals free from the time axis fluctuations.

  • Patent number: 5259159
    Abstract: A construction having a damping device for damping vibration having steel wire cables 20 having both ends fixed on the sides of the building 10, the steel wire cables 20 are tautly and obliquely provided on the building 10 so that one side and the other side of the steel wire cables 20 cross at only one point in front view. Since the steel wire cables 20 do not exist in the horizontal direction, the length of the steel wire cables 20 is shorter as compared with the prior art. Accordingly, extension of the steel wire cables 20 decreases, the mechanism is simpler, and maintenance is also simplified.
