An elevator device includes a guide rail (), a car (), and a guide device (). The car () is movable in a horizontal direction at a specific height. The guide device () includes a supporting member () and a guide member (). The guide member () is displaceable to a first position for restricting movement of the car () in the horizontal direction and guiding up-down movement of the car () and a second position where the guide member () does not come into contact with the guide rail () when the car () moves in the horizontal direction.

In an elevator hoisting machine mounting device, an elastic support device includes a supporting elastic body that deforms elastically upon reception of a load from a hoisting machine unit. A buckling suppression device disposed at a remove from the elastic support device in a horizontal direction includes first and second buckling suppression elastic bodies that sandwich, from above and below, a buckling suppression attachment portion provided on a lower portion of the hoisting machine unit, and a holding tool that holds the first and second buckling suppression elastic bodies on a machine base. The buckling suppression device suppresses, by an elastic restoring force of the first and second buckling suppression elastic bodies, buckling of the hoisting machine unit relative to the machine base due to the elastic deformation of the supporting elastic body.

A pressure sensor (,) having a first terminal (,), the first terminal (,) including a horizontal portion (,) and a vertical portion (,) at an intermediate portion thereof and being elastically deformable. A portion of the first terminal (,) being inserted and soldered to a circuit substrate (,) has a collar portion (,) being abutted around a through-hole (,) of the circuit substrate (,). The first terminal (,) is fixed at a state being pressed to the circuit substrate (,) by the collar portion (,) and being slightly compressed between a base member (,). When the circuit substrate (,) and the base member (,) are spaced apart by circumambient heat, the first terminal (,) can follow by the compressed margin. When the first terminal (,) itself is thermally expanded, the first terminal (,) can follow by an elastic deformation of the horizontal portion (,) and the vertical portion (,). Accordingly, stress caused to the soldered portion by a thermal deformation and the like can be relaxed so that the pressure sensor (,) can be applied to a wider temperature range.

There is provided a method for stably preparing rare earth (RE) 123 type oxide superconductors exhibiting outstanding superconductive properties in the atmosphere. In the method for preparing RE 123-type oxide superconductors by melting, cooling and solidifying a starting composition containing one or more than two kinds of RE such as Y, Sm, Nd, etc., and Ba, Cu and O as constituent elements to crystallize the RE 123-type oxide superconductors, the quantity of replacement between RE and Ba in 'RE 123 crystals to be formed' is controlled by changing the initial constitution of the starting composition, for example, by changing the initial constitution to a more Ba-rich side than a composition on a 123-211 (or 422) tie line on a phase diagram to yield RE 123-type oxide superconductors in the atmosphere, which exhibits a critical temperature of 90 K or above and higher critical current density (Jc) in a magnetic field. A trace amount of Pt or CeO.sub.3 may be added to micronize the 211 (or 422) phase so as to further improve Jc.

A method of and an apparatus for manufacturing an elongated metallic member (1) having at least one thickened wall area defined at a portion thereof. That portion of the elongated metallic member (1) is heated to a plasticizable temperature to form a heated area (5) while the latter is moved along the metallic member (1) and, at the same time, axially inwardly compressed to allow upsetting at the heated area (5), to thereby form a thickened wall area. A trailing portion (1a) of the thickened wall area of the elongated metallic member (1) immediately after the heated area (5) is cooled. The ratio (V/W) of a compressing speed V relative to the moving speed W of the position of the heated area (5) in reference to the thickened portion (1a) of the metallic member (1) is progressively increased from a small value, employed at an initial stage of wall thickening, along the metallic member (1) to an aimed value, employed at a steady stage of wall thickening, to thereby progressively increase a wall thickening ratio along the metallic member (1) to a designed value. The subsequent wall thickening is carried out while the ratio is maintained at said designed value for the steady stage of wall thickening. A method of connecting two metallic members (1) in end-to-end fashion and a method of connecting a beam to the metallic member (1) are also disclosed.

A current limiting device using a superconductor limits a current flowing throu A c5 V pV:a current limiting coil, which mangetically couples to the superconductor. A control coil is provided to magnetically couple with the current limiting coil when the superconductor is switched to a normal conduction state. A variable control impedance is connected to the control coil to adjust a control current flowing through the control coil. The current limiting impedance value of the current limiting coil is adjusted by the value of the control impedance to obtain an adjustable value of the current flowing through the current limiting coil.

The present invention relates to a method of uniformly induction heating a metallic elongated material having different thickness sections seen in the longitudinal direction, and more particularly relates to a method of ensuring substantially uniform heating for a metallic elongated material over the whole length thereof irrespective of the existence of different thickness of diameter section(s). Specifically, an inductor for practicing the method of the invention is constructed in the form of a multi-turn coil which is adapted to be separated to a certain number of coil segments corresponding to the geometrical configuration of the metallic elongated material. Uniform distribution of temperature over the metallic elongated material is achieved by properly program controlling power supply to the respective turns of the coil and thereby controlling a heating time thereof, while the inductor itself is maintained as fixed. Thus, irrespective of the irregular stepped configuration of the metallic elongated material substantially uniform heating is ensured by preparing an adequate program corresponding to it.

A method and hot bending apparatus for metal pipes in which the temperature of the pipe is kept constant during 'gradation bending'. The temperature may be adjusted by adjusting the power applied to the heater, or alternatively by adjusting the relative movement of the pipe with respect to the heater. While a feedback system may be utilized, a predetermined program is preferred under control of a microprocessor.
