A print-order receiving apparatus is capable of receiving a customer's order for photographic prints through a recording medium electronically recording image data therein. The apparatus includes a box-like apparatus body, a slot formed in the apparatus body for attaching the recording medium and a reading driver unit for reading the image date from the recording medium as attached in the slot. The slot defines an aperture plane with its peripheral edges, the aperture plane being upwardly inclined.

A real-time measurement is made of the proportions of solid matter and pigment contained in an electrodeposition coating material in an electrodeposition coating material tank. The attenuation of an ultrasonic wave through the electrodeposition coating material and the density and temperature of the electrodeposition coating material are measured, and a real-time measurement is made of the proportions of the solid matter and pigment by means of calculating these proportions on the basis of the measured ultrasonic-wave attenuation, density and temperature. Furthermore, the composition of the electrodeposition coating material is controlled on the basis of the results of said measurement.

Method and apparatus for analyzing the composition of an

A device for controlling the amount of a solid component of a paint in electrodeposition coating includes a measuring tank, a temperature detecting section including a temperature sensor disposed in the measuring tank, a section for measuring the speed of propagation of ultrasonic waves including an ultrasonic wave generator and an ultrasonic wave receiver disposed within the measuring tank, an operation section connected to the temperature detecting section and the speed measuring section for producing a control signal according to the temperature of the paint in the measuring tank and the speed of propagation of ultrasonic waves, and a supply section connected to the operation section for supplying a replenishing paint to an electrodeposition coating tank according to the control signal.

Device for controlling the amount of a solid paint component in

An improved coating apparatus including a paint vessel having an opening at its bottom for passing of an object to be coated therethrough, a sealing member disposed below the opening of said paint vessel and having an opening for passing of the coating object therethrough, a supporting section for supporting the paint vessel and a driving section for moving the paint vessel relative to the object to be coated. The sealing member has a brush to be in contact with the coating object passing through its opening and an elastic member provided exteriorly of the brush for pressing the brush against the object.
