Hydraulic antivibration device

A hydraulic antivibration device is provided that is capable of suppressing generation of strange sounds while ensuring a low dynamic spring characteristic upon inputting of relatively small amplitude vibration and a high damping characteristic upon inputting of relatively large amplitude vibration. To that end, upon inputting of relatively large amplitude vibration, displacement-regulating ribs of one of sandwiching members serve to regulate displacement of an elastic partition membrane pinched by the sandwiching members thus obtaining a high damping characteristic. The displacement-regulating ribs consist of three pieces extending radially and rectilinearly, so that the area of openings of the sandwiching members is made wide enough to ensure more a low dynamic spring characteristic. Displacement-regulating protrusions of the elastic partition membrane are disposed to correspond to the displacement-regulating ribs thereby ensuring to suppress the generation of strange sounds.

Sandwich Piezoelectric Ceramic Ultrasonic Atomizer

A sandwich piezoelectric ceramic ultrasonic atomizer has two piezoelectric ceramic plates (1) and one metal sheet (2). The metal sheet is securely clamped between the two piezoelectric ceramic plates. The two piezoelectric ceramic plates are respectively formed with a through-hole overlapping and communicated with each other, and the metal sheet completely covers the two through-holes. The present invention improves the reliability of adhesion between the metal sheet and the piezoelectric ceramic plates, thus increasing the energy conversion efficiency and extending the service life. When a bending vibration mode is adopted, the sheet metal diaphragm may be used, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing the processing cost.

Air Cart Product Flow Condition Monitoring

The present inventors have recognized that a pressure gradient or differential in a product distribution line for conveying granular particulate material, such as seed or fertilizer, in an air flow to an agricultural field consistently decreases as air speed (velocity) in the product distribution line decreases until a critical air speed is reached. Below the critical air speed, the particulate material may become susceptible to falling out of the air flow to potentially cause a blockage in the system. Accordingly, pressure sensors arranged in the product distribution line can be monitored for effectively controlling an air source producing the air flow. In one aspect, a diameter of the product distribution line can increase between upstream and downstream locations for monitoring with even greater sensitivity.

Power supply, a semiconductor making apparatus and a semiconductor wafer fabricating method using the same

In power supply and a semiconductor making apparatus and a semiconductor fabricating method using the same, an abnormality can be detected when an offset occurs in a part constituting a closed-loop system of high-frequency power supply or dc power supply for a semiconductor making apparatus. Power supply for receiving a power value setting signal to set strength of power and a power on / off instruction to set on or off of outputting of the power interrupts the supply of the power even in a state in which a subsequent power on / off instruction is on if a power sense signal according to a value obtained by sensing the power exceeds a predetermined value when the power on / off instruction is off.
