An automatic gate apparatus is located at a station and located at regular intervals apart from other automatic gate appratus, for communicating data stored in a wireless medium which is carried by a customer and has a data memory storing the data including identification data and section information representative of a section from one to the other of the station and a transmitter transmitting the data stored in the memory. The apparatus includes a memory for storing location information representative of the location of the apparatus. The apparatus generates a first level signal so as to cause the medium, in the regular intervals from the apparatus, to transmit the identification data and the section information and receives the identification data and the section information transmitted by the transmitter of wireless medium in response to the first level signal. The location information stored in the memory is judged that the location information exists within the section information The apparatus further generates a second level signal higher than the first level signal so as to transmit the identification data and the result of the judgment to the wireless medium which stores the same identification data and which is out of the regular intervals from the apparatus, in response to the judgment. The apparatus allows the customer passing thereof in response to the judgment.

Automatic gate apparatus

A piezo-electric actuator operated press in which piezo-electric actuators are employed as punch driving sources, and, with a workpiece held between an upper and lower die set, the punches are driven by the piezo-electric actuators to punch the workpiece; the punches and the piezo-electric actuators are built in the respective die sets, and the movable one of the die sets is coupled to a die shifting mechanism, so that it is driven to a die opening position or a die closing position, whereby the workpiece can be smoothly fed in and taken out of the press.

In blanking a metal foil on a press comprising a pair of dies, a pair of punches, and a pair of piezoelectric actuators for driving the punches with are all arranged above and below the metal foil, the punches are vertically vibrated by the piezoelectric actuators, so that, while the punches being held abutted against both surfaces of the metal foil clamped between the dies, a half blanking operation and a reverse blanking operation are carried out alternately, whereby the metal foil is cut along the shearing surface through low cyclic fatigue without formation of burrs.

Uninspected bundles of paper sheets are supplied to each of a plurality of pre-processors in units of bundles. Each pre-processor removes a band from the uninspected bundle, prints a serial number in association with the received paper sheets on the band, and holds the band. A number of reusable paper sheets from which the band is removed are counted by and stored in a corresponding inspection device. Each inspection device stores the serial number printed on the band by the preprocessor. In each inspection device, the paper sheets to be re-inspected are sorted by a separator card in units of bundles and stored as rejectable notes in a rejectable note cassette. A center console receives data such as a count result, band number, cassette number, card number, and the like, from each inspection device, and sequentially stores these data in units of inspection devices. When rejectable notes in units of bundles taken out from the cassette are inserted, a rejectable note processor fetches data such as the count result, band number, cassette number, card number, and the like from the center console, and performs discrimination of authenticity, detection of denominations, and counting and collation processing of the received rejectable notes.

Paper sheet processing apparatus

An ink jet printing head comprises a cavity plate, a nozzle plate and a vibration plate. The cavity plate is formed with ink pressurizing chambers and the nozzle plate is formed with ink nozzles that are perpendicular to the ink pressurizing chambers. Piezoelectric elements are fixedly attached to external portions of the vibration plate corresponding to the ink pressurizing chambers for deforming the oscillatory plate upon the application of voltage. An ink distribution plate may be interposed between the cavity plate and the nozzle plate. The plates are superposed on each other to form an integral body which constitutes the printing head. The printing head is used in a known printing apparatus. With this arrangement, high printing quality can be achieved at a high printing head carriage speed.

An apparatus for processing paper sheets comprises a batch feeder for carrying the withdrawn paper sheets, a takeout device for picking up the paper sheets from the batch feeder, one by one, an inspection section for inspecting the paper sheets picked up by the takeout device, whereby the paper sheets are classified into two groups, an unmachinable first group and a machinable second group, a first collecting device for collecting the first group of paper sheets, and a judgment unit for classifying the second group of paper sheets into two subgroups, a legitimate third group and a counterfeit fourth group. The first collecting device includes a second collecting device for collecting the third group of paper sheets, and third collecting device for collecting the fourth group of paper sheets.

A molten carbonate fuel cell is disclosed, which includes a .gamma.-lithium aluminate porous electrolyte plate composed of a .gamma.-lithium aluminate porous sheet having fine, continuous pores having diameters distributed in a range of from 0.05 .mu.m, at least 60% of said fine pores having diameters distributed in a range of from 0.05 .mu.m to 0.5 .mu.m, and having an average diameter of not more than 0.2 .mu.m and a porosity of 50-70% and molten carbonate electrolyte impregnating the porous sheet. A method of manufacturing the electrolyte plate is also disclosed.
