  • Patent number: 10928112
    Abstract: A heat pump device is equipped with a compressor for compressing a refrigerant; a converter for converting a voltage of an alternating current power supply into a boosted direct current; an inverter for converting the direct current output of the converter into an alternating current, supplying the alternating current to the compressor; a voltage detector for detecting an input voltage to the converter; a stop controller for stopping operation of the converter and the inverter when resonance occurs in the voltage detected by the voltage detector; a limit controller for sending an instruction to limit an input current to the converter so as to avoid the resonance; and a manually operable input interface for sending an instruction to cause the limit control unit to operate.

  • Patent number: 5940243
    Abstract: A cartridge direct entry/exit station for a library apparatus, the library apparatus transferring selected cartridges to a drive unit through a transferring mechanism for processing of information recorded therein. The cartridge direct entry/exit station is configured to accommodate a magazine storing a plurality of cartridges, thereby facilitating the simultaneous entry or exit of plural cartridges. The cartridge direct entry/exit includes a communication space defined to establish direct communication between an operating space in the interior of the library apparatus and an external space of the library apparatus, and a magazine holding mechanism for holding the magazine in a state where an insertion/removal side of the cartridges faces the operating space.

  • Patent number: 5912023
    Abstract: A single head forms an outside layer material supply passage connected through to an annular slit at joined portion, a reinforcing material supply passage and an inside layer material supply passage. An outside rubber layer is supplied to the outside material supply passage. A reinforcing cloth is supplied to the reinforcing material supply passage, and an inside rubber is supplied to the inside layer material supply passage respectively. A vacuum is formed up to the pressure of the joined portion by reducing under a vacuum the inside of the reinforcing cloth supply passage, thereby removing water or gas such as air attaching to both surfaces of the reinforcing cloth and increasing the adhesion of the outside rubber layer and the inside rubber layer with the reinforcing cloth being half there between.
