Abstract: In a boot including a larger cylindrical portion having a thick-walled portion and a thin-walled portion continuing smoothly in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface, a ring groove coming full circle on the outer peripheral surface of the larger cylindrical portion is formed. Since shrinkage at the thick-walled portion can be prevented by the ring groove, and the ring groove is formed smoothly over the entire thick-walled portion and the thin-walled portion, there exists no varying point at which a stress generated when fastening with a fastening member suddenly changes.

Abstract: N-chloroacetylglutamine is produced by reacting chloroacetyl chloride with an alkaline aqueous solution of glutamine the presence of a water-immiscible organic solvent, separating an aqueous layer by liquid-liquid separation, and crystallizing N-chloroacetyl-glutamine from the aqueous layer under acidic conditions. N-Chloroacetyl-glutamine useful as an intermediate for producing glycyl-L-glutamine which has higher stability than L-glutamine and is used as a component of an infusion solution can be obtained with high efficiency at low cost.

Abstract: A controlling apparatus for representing the motion of a normal wheeled omni-directional vehicle (ODV) in a relative coordinate system, and for effectively controlling the ODV and a controlling method thereof. Drive wheels are connected to four corners of the body of the ODV through offset links that can be independently steered. With the offset links, even if the body stops, it can be reoriented without a need to perform a forced direction change operation. The traveling speed of the body, the turning radius of the body, and the angle between the horizontal axis of the body and the traveling direction thereof are defined as relative variables of a relative coordinate system. With these relative variables, the motion of the ODV is designated. The designated motion of the body is converted into the time change or the displacement (drive speed) and the steering angle of each wheel by inverse kinematics. The corresponding control signals are sent to a driving unit of the wheels.

Abstract: A coin dispensing apparatus having a simple construction and capable of dispensing coins securely and easily. A guide member is arranged extending along a tangent to a column formed in the center of rotation of the disk, whereby the coins can be smoothly transported along the guide member by means of a force from first protrusions without applying an impulsive force to the first protrusions and the guide member. Each coin transported to a predetermined position by the associated first protrusion is further transported to the outside of the transportation limit of the first protrusion by a second protrusion which is associated with a subsequent through hole, and is delivered securely to a coin dispensing port. A stirring rod having a rigid portion with an elliptic section and a rod with a circular section is fixed to the center of rotation of the disk, and the coins in a hopper are stirred by the protuberances on the outer peripheral surface of the rigid portion.

Abstract: A printed paper dispensing apparatus for dispensing a predetermined number of printed papers in the form of bank notes, tickets or the like printed matter and a method of controlling the foregoing apparatus. In a case where a required number of bank notes move past abnormal bank note detecting sensors without abnormal bank notes detected thereby so that they are placed one above another in a layered structure on a belt conveyer, all the bank notes on the belt conveyer are conveyed to a dispensing outlet port after a predetermined period of time elapses after the last bank note has moved past the abnormal bank note detecting sensors. In a case where an abnormality is detected with the respective bank notes while they are placed on the belt conveyer in that way, the bank notes are introduced into an abnormal bank note receiving portion.

Abstract: A compiler system compiles a source program described with assembler instructions, each of which defines microoperations, into a target program for use in a digital signal processor. If two of the assembler instructions are interlocked with each other and if another assembler instructions which is not associated with the interlocked instructions is present, it is inserted between the interlocked instructions to thereby reorder the microoperations of the source program. Thereafter, the microoperations thus reordered are combined so as not to conflict with each other with regard to the fields of the assembler instructions and resources used by the assembler instructions. Prior to combining the microoperations, whether or not a basic block of assembler instructions included in the source program having a loop may be determined. If so, a head portion of the basic block forming the loop may then be transferred to a tail portion of the basic block forming the loop.

Abstract: A plurality of ultrasonic transducers or probes are positioned around a region of an object such as a steel tube to be inspected. One of the ultrasonic transducers is energized to emit an ultrasonic beam into the region, and ultrasonic waves reflected from and transmitted through the region in response to the emitted ultrasonic beam are received. Sound pressures are then measured from the reflected and transmitted ultrasonic waves, and an evaluation value is produced by arithmetically dividing the sound pressure of the reflected ultrasonic wave by the sound pressure of the transmitted ultrasonic wave.

Abstract: A wide band analog frequency divider circuit operable at a high frequency in the GHz band, and a frequency synthesizer utilizing the analog frequency divider circuit. The analog frequency divider circuit comprises an LC series circuit having a capacitor and an inductor connected between the anode and the cathode of a diode, and means for applying a forward bias to the diode. The input signal is supplied from the anode side of the diode, and the output is delivered from the cathode side, or the anode side of the cathode is grounded. The frequency synthesizer is arranged to frequency divide the output of a VCO by the analog frequency divider circuit, and to supply the frequency-divided output to a prescaler. The output of the prescaler is further frequency divided by a programmable divider, and the phase difference between the output of the programmable divider and a reference signal is detected thereby to control the oscillation frequency of the VCO.
