Abstract: Provided is a method comprises: continuously forming an elongated, glass film having marginal portions from molten glass into a given shape having two marginal portions, in width-directional opposite edge regions thereof, wherein the glass film having marginal portions has the marginal portions, and an effective portion formed in a width-directional central region of the glass film having marginal portions; annealing the glass film having marginal portions; continuously forming resin tapes on the glass film having marginal portions at positions adjacent to and away by a given distance from the respective marginal portions, to extend in a length direction of the glass film having marginal portions; and continuously removing each of the marginal portions from the glass film having marginal portions, along a position between the marginal portion and a corresponding one of the resin tapes, or at a given width-directional position within the corresponding resin tape.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a centrifugal separator including a rotor (51) which is to be rotated to apply a centrifugal force to a container (9) and which includes a detection target portion (57) utilized for detecting a particular portion of the rotor (51), and also relates to an analytical apparatus provided with the centrifugal separator. The detection target portion (57) is so designed as to cause outputting of at least three kinds of signals which are distinguishable from each other. For instance, the detection target portion (57) includes a first detection target region (57A) having a higher reflectivity than a surface of the rotor (51), and a second detection target region (57b) which reflects light in a manner different from the surface of the rotor and the first detection target region (57A). For instance, the second detection target region (57b) includes a plurality of linear portions (57Ba) regularly spaced from each other.

Abstract: An air conditioning system which includes a plurality of internal air conditioning units, a plurality of external refrigerating circuit units for executing refrigerating cycle operations, each external refrigerating circuit unit including a fluid path control valve whose activation is audible, and a plurality of corresponding relationship check switches respectively provided in the internal air conditioning units. When the corresponding relationship check switch of one of the internal air conditioning units is operated, the fluid path control valve of the corresponding external refrigerating circuit unit generates an audible sound, intermittently.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a multi-air-conditioner system provided with a freezing cycle wherein refrigerant is supplied from a common outdoor unit to a plurality of indoor units via respective control valves. In order for a compressor to recover refrigerant and oil contained therein remaining in an indoor unit under interception, the control valve of the indoor unit under interception is opened cyclically to a degree of opening corresponding to the rated capacity of the indoor unit for the predetermined time while circulating the refrigerant cyclically for a predetermined time to the indoor unit.
