Computer housing

Central processor for an electronic computer

A power supply construction comprises a logic circuit section housed in a frame, a power supply section mounted rotatably on the frame in opposed to the logic circuit section for supplying power to the logic circuit section. Relay bars with an end arranged in the vicinity of the rotating axis of the power supply section are provided for supplying power to the logic circuit section. Power supply bars with an end arranged in the vicinity of the rotating axis are for outputting the voltages from the power supply section. In addition, a flexible conductor is provided for electrically connecting the relay bar and the power supply bar in such a manner that the power supply section is rotatable.

Power supply structure and system for mounting the same

An automatic washing machine capable of automatically carrying out a programmed sequence of a washing operation, a rinsing operation and/or a spinning or extracting operation, and a method for operating such a washing machine, in which a newly selected operation program is compared with an already selected operation program, and when the already selected operation program includes an operation included in the newly selected operation program, the operation in the already selected operation program corresponding to that in the newly selected operation program is only continuously carried out for improving the utility of the automatic washing machine.

Automatic washing machine and method for operating the same

An automatic washing machine in which an initial filling time required for filling a tub with water to a predetermined level at the start of a washing process is measured and stored in a memory, whereby time required for rinsing process is automatically determined on the basis of the measured initial filling time. Means is provided for determining the rinsing time duration on the basis of a preset rinsing time stored in the memory in place of the measured filling time when the latter is abnormally short, thereby to assure an adequate rinsing action.
