Abstract: The present invention provides a joining method of metal plates, which can connect two metal plates without a projection in a surface of the metal plates and a gap, and a joined unit having metal plates which are connected without a projection in a surface of the metal plates and a gap between the metal plates. The joined unit has a pair of metal plates. One of the metal plates has a hole, and another metal plate has a projection having a height less than a thickness of the one of the metal plates. The projection passes through the hole, the one of the metal plates is placed on the other of the metal plates each other, and a central part of an end surface of the projection is crushed in the hole. Thereby, the metal plates are joined to each other, and the joined unit can be provided.

Abstract: A method of separating an adhesive-bonded body is provided, by which a pair of pieces bonded together by using an adhesive can be easily securely separated from each other, wherein the adhesive has excellent adhesive force without being influenced by environmental temperature, excellent storage stability and wide scope of selection of the piece to be bonded. An adhesive-bonded body 1 includes a pair of pieces 2 bonded together and an adhesive layer 4. The adhesive layer 4 bonds the pair of pieces 2 to each other. Ultrasonic vibration is applied to the adhesive-bonded body 1 which is put between a tool horn 6 and an anvil 7 of an ultrasonic vibration applying device 3. The ultrasonic vibration is generated by applying a voltage to a piezoelectric vibrator 5 and vibrates the tool horn 6. The tool horn 6 vibrates ultrasonically together with one piece 2. The pair of the pieces 2 bonded together shifts relatively each other due to the ultrasonic vibration.

Abstract: In case a file is prepared by executing an application, the fee for the use of the application is charged according to whether such file is subjected to an output process. Thus the user of the application need not pay the fee for the use of the application for the mere preparation of the file by using the application.

Abstract: In an electric filing apparatus, a document is read, and the read document is divided into blocks by a predetermined dividing number. Further, the divided block is divided into a partial image or partial character train, and a partial image or partial character train is extracted from a predetermined position every block. The extracted partial images or partial character trains are combined, thereby forming a reduced image smaller than an original image or character train. When selecting a document registered by the user, a list of the reduced images is displayed.

Abstract: The cable-enrolling conductive thin-film sheet 1 consists of a conductive thin film 2 and an insulated cable 3. The conductive thin film 2 has a conductor layer 4 and first and second insulating layers 5, 6. The first insulating layer 5 is laminated on one face of the conductor layer 4, while the second insulating layer 6 is laminated on the other face of the conductor layer 4. The insulated cable 3 has an electrically conductive core wire 10 and an insulating sheath 11 covering the core wire 10. The insulated cable 3 laid on the first insulating layer 5 is partially welded to the sheet 2 by ultrasonic welding to obtain the cable-enrolling conductive thin-film sheet 1. The first insulating layer 5 is welded to be secured to the sheath 11, and the conductor layer 4 is mechanically connected to the core wire 10 by the ultrasonic welding.

Abstract: A conductor-equipped conductive thin film sheet 1 includes a conductive thin film sheet 2 and a metallic piece 8. The conductive thin film sheet 2 is composed of a conductive layer 4 and an insulating layer 7. The metallic piece 8 is superposed on the insulating layer 7 and is partially bonded to the conductive layer 4 by ultrasonic welding. In this configuration, when the sheet is wound around an electric wire, noise can be surely dissipated. A shield harness using the conductive thin film is also disclosed.

Abstract: The household waste treatment requires neither incineration nor disposal in landfills. Two processing sub-systems, first one for combustibles and the other or second one for incombustibles, cooperate with each other as a single system for recycling the waste. The first sub-system deals with combustible waste to yields products for fertilizing and/or conditioning soil. In the process, what are inappropriate to the production of the soil fertilizing and/or conditioning products are sent to the second sub-system, which deals with incombustible waste. This sub-system sorts the incombustible waste materials into various kinds of recyclable products. Combustibles among the incombustible waste materials are sent to the first sub-system.

Abstract: The object is to provide a method of connecting covered wires mutually which can solve increasing cost. Each of the covered wires 2, 3 is comprised of a conductor 4, 10 and a cover 5, 11. The covered wires 2, 3 are connected to each other by ultrasonic welding. An ultrasonic welding machine includes a chip and an anvil. The covered wires 2, 3 are placed between the chip and the anvil.
