Abstract: A coin storage device includes: storage compartments that store therein coins by denomination; and screw-type conveying members, installed for the respective storage compartments, each of the screw-type conveying members including a shaft having an elongated shape and having an outer circumferential surface provided with a blade portion that protrudes radially outwards in a spiraling shape, and conveying coins toward a front side by being rotated in one direction about a central axis of the shaft. Further, each of the screw-type conveying members includes an actuating portion to move center of gravity of coins accumulated on the actuating portion up and down periodically as the screw-type conveying member is rotated about the central axis of the shaft.

Abstract: A coin validation device that is implemented in a coin handling machine which stores therein a deposited coin on a denomination-by-denomination basis and which pays out stored coin in response to a disbursement instruction, the coin validation device, includes: a carrier that carries the deposited coin in a horizontally-fallen state in one direction; and a discriminator that identifies authenticity and denominations of the coin carried in the one direction by the carrier. Further, the carrier carries a coin, which is discriminated as a counterfeit coin by the discriminator, in another direction opposite to the one direction.

Abstract: An educational simulator for transesophageal echocardiography device, which includes a human phantom patterned after a human upper body having a neck, an esophagus and a stomach which communicate with each other, and a heart, a dummy probe which is patterned after a genuine ultrasonic probe and of which the tip is embedded with a magnet, a sensor which detects the insertion length and rotation angle of the dummy probe and is placed in the said neck, magnetic sensors which sense the magnetism of the said magnet, a three-dimensional image data archive which stores three-dimensional image data of echocardiography, a CPU which calculates the position, inclination and direction of the dummy probe on the basis of information from each said sensor and clips tomographic image data from the three-dimensional image data on the basis of the calculation, and a display section which shows the clipped tomographic image data as two-dimensional images.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a simulation device for ultrasonic diagnosis targeting a heart and its object is to provide an educational simulator for transthoracic echocardiography which can run simulations in a feeling like actual ultrasonic diagnosis. The educational simulator for transthoracic echocardiography is composed of a chest phantom with position sensors embedded at prescribed positions beneath the chest surface, a dummy probe in which a magnet is embedded and which is provided with an inclination sensor placed in the acral part, a memory section which stores three-dimensional image data of echocardiography, a CPU which calculates the position, inclination and pressing force of the dummy probe on the basis of information from each said sensor and clips two-dimensional image data from the three-dimensional image data on the basis of the calculation, and a display section which shows the clipped two-dimensional data.

Abstract: A ventilation system for a vehicular lamp including a communication hole formed in the vehicular lamp; a first peripheral wall projecting from a rear surface of the lamp at a position where said first peripheral wall surrounds said communication hole; an upper and lower water preventive walls projecting from said first peripheral wall downwardly of said communication hole; a second peripheral wall surrounding said first peripheral wall, said second peripheral wall projecting from the rear surface of the lamp; a lid member engaging with said second peripheral wall for covering said first and second peripheral walls; a first space defined between the lamp, said lid member and said first peripheral wall, said first space communicating through said communication hole with the lamp chamber; a second space defined between the lamp, said lid member and said upper and lower water preventive walls, said second space communicating with said first space through a first communication passage formed at a first position in
