Abstract: A power-on circuit and a resetting method by which resetting of a circuit through which flows direct current upon resetting can be achieved stable state without causing a large current to flow in the circuit. For resetting a circuit through which flows the direct current at the time of resetting, such as a circuit for resetting a fuse on power source on, there is provided a power-on circuit generating a one-shot signal on power source on, in which two or more one-shot signals are provided and resetting is carried out by at least two partial operations to achieve stable resetting without flowing a larger current.

Abstract: An underground continuous wall building method and apparatus in which a chain cutter 2 provided with excavation blades is obliquely mounted on a running carriage 1. Slanting continuous trenches G1, G2 are excavated by moving the running carriage 1 in a transverse direction while rotating the cutter 2 with the cutter 2 obliquely placed in the ground, and a water cutoff material is poured into the excavated continuous trenches G1, G2 and solidified therein to build slanting continuous walls R1, R2 in the ground.

Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus has a housing and a frame incorporated within the housing. A lower half of the housing has a bottom wall and first wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall. The first wall defines a first receptacle for containing a first functional component in said lower half. The frame has a second wall opposing the first wall. The second wall defines a second receptacle for containing a second functional component within said frame. The second wall further defines a third receptacle for containing a third functional component within the lower half along with the first wall.

Abstract: A crimping station of a motor-driven portable crimper (A) has a movable head driven by a motor (M) to reciprocate straight towards and away from a fixed anvil. An automatic switch will automatically stop the motor upon detection of the movable head retracted from or having approached the anvil, so that the head and other members stand still for a while relative to the fixed anvil to allow the wire end to be inserted readily into the contact and then the contact thus crimped can easily be withdrawn from the crimping station. A manual switch is operable to restart the motor and resume the crimping process. A blind plate attached to and outside the frame is disposed near the crimping station so as to inhibit a user from erroneously inserting wire ends to the contacts which have not arrived at the station.
