A ball bearing with double raceway rotatably supports a pinion shaft having a pinion gear on its one end. This ball bearing with double raceway is provided with: an outer ring member having a large-diameter raceway surface and a small-diameter raceway surface; an inner ring member having a large-diameter raceway surface and a small-diameter raceway surface that correspond to the large-diameter raceway surface and the small-diameter raceway surface of the outer ring member; a large-diameter-side row of balls that are interpolated between the two large-diameter raceway surfaces; a small-diameter-side row of balls that are interpolated between the two small-diameter raceway surfaces; a large-diameter-side cage that holds the large-diameter-side row of balls; and a small-diameter-side cage that holds the small-diameter-side row of balls. In this ball bearing with double raceway, the row of balls on the anti-pinion gear side of the two rows of balls is subjected to a load prior to the row of balls on the pinion gear side.

In a thermal transfer printer, before a thermal head transfers an ink component of a yellow region on a recording paper, the thermal head is preheated up to a transfer temperature and by sublimating a black ink component constituting a mark pattern during preheating, records used information in the mark pattern. After turn-on of an electric power, when an optical sensor reads the used information, an ink ribbon driving mechanism is driven until the optical sensor detects the rear mark pattern in which the used information is not recorded to locate the start of an unused region of an ink ribbon. Thus, residual amount of the ink ribbon is grasped accurately and the start of the unused region is located accurately without increasing the costs of ink ribbon.

Thermal transfer printer

The photo printer has a conveyance unit, a printing unit, line sensors and a control unit. The conveyance unit conveys a roll paper along a conveyance path. The printing unit has a thermal head that prints images on the roll paper in a main scanning direction, which is perpendicular to the conveyance direction of the roll paper. The line sensors have a plurality of light emitting elements and light receiving elements disposed so as to span side edges of the conveyance path. The line sensors detect the roll paper on the conveyance path based on an amount of light received by the light receiving elements. The control unit detects a side edge of the roll paper, and also determines that a distal end of the roll paper is detected, based on the amount of light received by the light receiving elements.

Photo printer

A key operating portion is operated and a scaling size of an image to be printed is selected. Then, the number of the images to be printed is selected. Further, when printing of a plurality of images is set, if a continuous printing determining portion determines that continuous printing is possible based on a limit on an image size relative to a RAM capacity, an image associating portion associates images that are in the number that can continuously be printed. Next, a one-page printing controlling portion exerts control for printing the associated images on one page. Then, a cutting/ejecting controlling portion exerts control on a paper cutting mechanism and a paper transferring mechanism, for cutting an image-printed object of the associated images into the number of the images and ejecting them. As a result, the image-printed object is cut into the number of the images and ejected.

A syringe for collecting expiration is switched, to be connected by a three-way electromagnetic valve, between an expiration blowing part and a measuring part, so that expiration, blown from the expiration blowing part, is collected in the syringe while replacing old expiration. A switching valve is closed upon completion of exhalation so that end-tidal air is collected in the syringe. Thereafter the expiration sample is introduced into the measuring part from the syringe so that a constant amount of the expiration sample is collected by the measuring part to be introduced into a column.

Expiration collecting method and automatic expiration collector

An expiration suction passage communicating with an expiration blowing part provided with a non-airtight mask is connected to a forward end surface of a syringe through a two-way on-off electromagnetic valve, while an expiration transmission passage communicating with a sample outlet is also connected to the forward end surface of the syringe. A two-way on-off electromagnetic valve is provided in the expiration transmission passage, and an O.sub.2 sensor is provided between the electromagnetic valve and the sample outlet as a standard gas sensor. The syringe has a capacity capable of collecting several breaths, and a sucking operation is driven at a speed for collecting several breaths in single suction.

Expiration collector

A first sample measuring passage provided between a collection port and a suction pump has a sample gas measurer for measuring expiration components, while a second sample measuring passage which is provided in parallel with the first sample measuring passage has a standard gas measurer for measuring O.sub.2 gas. Assuming that [A] represents a measured value of a target component in an expiration sample and [b.sub.1 ] represents O.sub.2 concentration in the expiration sample, correction is made on the basis of:

A portable type clinical examination device using expiratory air of a patient as a sample and measuring with high accuracy and rapidity concentration of trace amounts of aimed gas components contained in the expiratory air. The clinical examination device feeds an expiratory air sample provided by a patient, fed through an expiratory air sucking portion and separated in a column to a detector which detects trace amounts of aimed gas components contained in the expiratory air sample by ionizing the aimed gas components through application of ultraviolet or radiation, so that output signals from the detector are processed and concentration of the aimed gas components is computed by use of a previously memorized working curve to provide a clinical examination data which is output on a recording device or the like.
