Abstract: A chemical analysis element supplier has a cartridge container for storing a cartridge in which a plurality of chemical analysis elements are stored. The cartridge is inserted into the container through a cartridge insertion port which is formed in the top of the container. An element take-out mechanism takes out the chemical analysis element in the cartridge through an element take-out port which is formed in the bottom of the container. The element take-out mechanism is provided with a lifting member which is operative to move upward through the element take-out port to lift the cartridge in the container so that at least a part of the cartridge projects upward through the cartridge insertion port.

Abstract: A chemical analysis film cartridge with a box-like casing body having first and second end walls opposed to each other between which a plurality of dry frameless chemical analysis film chips are stored in a stack. A first opening is formed in a side wall of the casing body near the first end wall so that only the film chip nearest the first end wall can be taken out of the casing body through the first opening by moving the film chip in a direction perpendicular to the stack. A second openings which permits a suction pad to hold the film chip nearest the first end wall and to remove it from the casing body through the first openings is formed in the first end wall. The width of the first opening is larger than the thickness of one film chip and smaller than double the thickness of one film chip over at least a portion of the first opening.

Abstract: A plurality of dry chemical analysis films are stacked in a cartridge. A chemical analysis film supplier has a cartridge storage chamber in which a plurality of cartridges are stored so that the chemical analysis films in each cartridge can be taken out by a chemical analysis film removing device. In the the cartridge storage chamber, the cartridges are arranged in a circle, and a moisture-absorber holding portion is formed inside the circle of the cartridges, and a moisture absorber is loaded in the moisture-absorber holding portion.

Abstract: A lithographic printing plate printer includes: an original-film loading section; a lithographic printing plate loading section; a printing surface plate on which an original film is brought into close contact with a lithographic printing plate; a light source for printing an image on the original film onto the lithographic printing plate on the printing surface plate; a punch-hole punching unit for punching a punch hole in the original film; an original film transporting unit for taking out the original film in the original-film loading section and transporting it onto the printing surface plate via the punch-hole punching means; and a lithographic printing plate transporting unit for taking out the lithographic printing plate in the lithographic printing plate loading section and transporting it onto the printing surface plate.

Abstract: For the purpose of preventing reductions of wall thickness due to erosion-corrosion in parts (2, 3, 7) of a system made of carbon steel, and which constitute a wet steam system, a feedwater and condensate system, and a drain system of a thermal or nuclear power plant, a coating (17) of metal or ceramic which is chemically stable against a fluid flowing in the systems is formed by spraying on the surface of the devices which are exposed to the fluid.
