Thermal-type infrared imaging device comprises an infrared ray detection unit in which pixels, each of which includes a bolometer, are arranged two-dimensionally; and a signal processing unit that sequentially reads signal of each bolometer in synchronization with switching operation of a horizontal shift register and a vertical shift register, integrates the read signal using an integration circuit, and outputs the integrated signal. The signal processing unit is configured so that it can set a sensitivity (for example, voltage applied to bolometer, capacitance of a capacitor in the integration circuit, and/or period of time for integrating the signal) for each pixel according to a predetermined pattern in synchronization with switching operation for classifying a plurality of pixels into a plurality of types of pixels for which different sensitivities are set, for example, high-sensitivity pixelswith a narrow temperature measurement range and a high temperature resolution and low-sensitivity pixelswith a wider temperature measurement range and a lower temperature resolution than those of the high-sensitivity pixels

The invention provides a thermoplastic elastomer nonwoven fabric roll that exhibits minimal longitudinal wrinkles and minimal delayed restoration when unrolled, and method and apparatus for producing the same. Thermoplastic elastomer filaments that have been melt-spun are piled on a belt conveyor thereby forming a sheet of nonwoven fabric, that is guided to a rotating roller disposed above the transportation zone of the belt conveyor and peeled off therefrom. Since minimal tension is applied to the nonwoven fabric during processing, the nonwoven fabric can be unrolled with little stretching by applying relatively little tension to the nonwoven fabric. By the method of this invention, a nonwoven fabric roll with unrolling tension of 0.25 g/cm/basis-weight or less can be formed.

A polyurethane elastomer fiber non-woven fabric contains polyurethane elastomer fiber filaments melt-bonded with one another, and has a tensile elongation of 100% or more, a 50% elongation recovery of 75% or more and a tear strength per METSUKE of 5.5 gf or more. The non-woven fabric can be prepared by a method of providing a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer having Shore hardness A of 92 or more, drying the elastomer to a water content of 150 ppm or less, and melt-spinning and, at the same time, spraying it together with a high speed gas stream so as to deposit and laminate the elastomer into a sheet form. A synthetic leather using the non-woven fabric is also provided. The non-woven fabric has not only an excellent elasticity but also high tear strength.

A capacitor comprising a capacitor element, a case for housing the capacitor element, and a fixing section having projections for attaching the case to electrical equipment. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the case and the fixing section are unitarily molded. The fixing section and the capacitor case are formed of flame-resistant thermoplastic resins as required. This structure eliminates the need of components and tools for fixing the capacitor. Thus, the structure can improve workability, and reduce man-hours and manufacturing cost.

A capacitor element having a terminal, an electric insulating material installed to cover the capacitor element, a wire connected to the terminal, and a reinforcing structure installed at the junction for connecting the terminal and the wire. In this constitution, the junction of the terminals and wires maintains mechanical strength and electrical insulation and is enhanced in reliability for a long period against mechanical stress or vibration to the capacitor from outside. Still more, invasion of moisture or dust into the capacitor can be prevented. As a result, the life of the excellent mechanical strength and electrical insulation is enhanced, and the capacitor having a stable reliability for a long time may be obtained.

A data transfer system comprises a plurality of terminals; a plurality of high-speed data transfer units connected to the terminals through a network, each data transfer unit comprising a plurality of storage devices and a storage device group control device or unit for controlling readout of data from the storage devices, and dividing and storing data requested by the terminals; a virtual storage device group controlling device or unit for controlling readout of data from virtual storage device groups, each virtual storage device group being constructed by selecting a storage device from each high-speed data transfer unit; and an instruction conversion unit or device for receiving a data readout instruction on the basis of data requests output from the terminals, which instruction is given to the virtual storage device groups, from the virtual storage device group control unit or device, and converting the instruction into a data readout instruction to the storage devices from the storage device group control unit or device. In this data transfer system, the load for the data transfer processing is equally distributed among the high-speed data transfer units even when data transfer requests are output from plural terminals.

A memory control device having a plurality of data transfer paths including a storage device group comprising a plurality of storage devices for storing data and a buffer memory group comprising multiple buffer memories for storing transferred data, dividing files into multiple blocks for storing blocks in multiple storage devices on different data transfer paths, and executing control to read data from the storage device to be output with a request from a connected terminal to the buffer memory wherein storage devices on different paths create multiple virtual storage device groups, and buffer memories create virtual buffer memory groups. The memory control device comprises a data output control for executing control in a first cycle, the data being temporarily dividedly stored in a prescribed virtual storage device group. In a second cycle the device outputs data stored in the virtual buffer memory group and by alternately repeating first and second cycles, data read from the plural virtual buffer memories group is switched.

Alternate selection of virtual data buffer pathways

In a data transfer system in which when a first to fourth terminals require reading data, the data are read out of a first to fourth storages to be stored in a first and second buffer memories while a first and second virtual groups of storages are alternately switched every constant cycle, and thereafter a first and second data sending units send the data stored in the first and second buffer memories to the terminals; on the other hand, when the first to fourth terminals require writing data, received data is divided in a way to distribute the process loads of data read and data write of the divided data equally into a first and second data transfer units. At the same time, the data are stored in the first and second buffer memories of the first and second data transfer units, and thereafter the data are written into the first to fourth storages while switching the first and second virtual groups of storages alternately. As a result, the load of transferring data to the terminals is not concentrated on a particular data transfer unit in the data transfer system, even when the rate of request-to-reads from the terminals changes or differs from those of others.

In a variable speed facsimile transmitter employing a storage mode photodetection array as a line scanner, the array is driven at one of a plurality of selectable clock rates so as to generate a video line signal in response to each clock pulse. The photodetection array is discharged at an instant delayed from the occurrence of the clock pulse by an interval determined by the difference between the selected clock rate and the highest clock rate to discard the video signal available at that instant and then allowed to develop charge during the rest of the interval between clock pulses, whereby a constant magnitude video line signal is derived at the occurrence of each clock pulse regardless of the selected clock rate.
