An object of the present invention is to provide a portable personal authentication apparatus which can perform personal authentication, being essential in a future society, anywhere and be used for all purposes and an electronic system to which access is permitted by the apparatus. A mobile device, such as a cellular telephone or a PDA, is used with a portable personal authentication apparatus as a portable communication terminal device 51 and at least one of biological features including a man's fingerprint, voiceprint, and irisprint is used as a medium for authenticating a person as, for example, the user himself/herself. That is to say, biometric authentication is performed. In addition, functions like an electronic purse a conventional IC card etc. had are included in the portable communication terminal device (portable personal authentication apparatus) and the portable communication terminal device is connected to ATM equipment etc. This enables the portable communication terminal device to be managed unitarily as an electronic purse. Furthermore, a portable communication terminal device (portable personal authentication apparatus) is used for authenticating a person as, for example, the driver himself/herself in the case of canceling urgent notification in a notifying system. This will increase the reliability of notification.

A cutter hub and blade assembly supported and driven for rotational and axial movement in relation to the die face of a die plate in an underwater pelletizer including a positive control of such axial movement to obtain and maintain optimal axial position of the cutter hub and blades during the pelletizing operation and to minimize wear of the mechanical components involved. Positive control of the axial movement of the cutter hub and blades is obtained by a hydraulic/pneumatic actuation system controlling an elongated motion rod that extends through a driven hollow motor shaft. One end of the motion rod is connected with a hydraulic/pneumatic control and the other end of the rod is connected to a cutter hub holder that supports the cutter hub and blades for axial movement toward or away from the die face.

A working machines includes an identifying unit. A force sensor detachably supports a working head in the identifying unit. A controller circuit is designed to identify the working head based on the load detected at the force sensor. When the working head is replaced with another one, the load changes in the force sensor in the identifying unit. In general, the individual working head has the specific weight. The working heads can thus be differentiated from each other based on the weight. Accordingly, the controller circuit is allowed to reliably identify the working head after the replacement with a higher accuracy based on the detected load.

An air conditioner for vehicles in which the probability of executing pre-air conditioning is increased so that it may be prevented that the inside of the vehicle cannot be often in a comfortable state before the driver gets into the vehicle. The air conditioner performs air conditioning of a vehicle having a traveling motor and an engine as drive sources and comprises a pre-air conditioning main switch. The crew permits operation of pre-air conditioning by turning the switch on. When the pre-air conditioning main switch is set on, an engine control section performs charge preference control where battery charge takes precedence of engine fuel consumption and performs normal control where engine fuel consumption takes precedence when the pre-air conditioning main switch is set off.

The present invention is to provide a vertical casting apparatus capable of easily manufacturing castings without causing shrinkage cavities and entrainment of gas, by filling a molten metal into a mold cavity at a high speed and by effectively pressurizing the molten metal in the closed cavity, which has high work efficiency, ease of maintenance, and a low cost of equipment, and a vertical casting method using the vertical casting apparatus. The vertical casting apparatus is provided with an apparatus body comprising a fixed mold 1 on the lower side and a movable mold 2 on the upper side, a closing means 13 for closing a molten metal in-flow gate 10 formed in the fixed mold 1, and a pressurizing means 20 for pressurizing the molten metal in the closed mold cavity, and a casting means for supplying and filling the molten metal into the mold cavity from the underside. The casting means has a gas-pressurized molten metal pouring ladle 6 attachable to and detachable from the apparatus body.

A can (1) of which spout after opening can be securely resealed and can be opened and closed with an easy operation is provided. The can (1) has a spout (3) that is opened by lifting and pulling a pull-ring (6) fixed on a top wall (2) of a can body (1a) with a rivet (5) to bend a sealing tongue portion (4) toward the inside of the can. Inside the top wall (2) and away from the spout (3), an internal sealing member (7) having a fan shape with its pivot mounted to the rivet and a size capable of sealing the spout (3) is disposed to be fixed to the rivet (5).

A pneumatically operated egg injection machine includes a sealed frame structure with a pair of in line parallel tracks through an injection section and a transfer section in series. An injection assembly over one parallel track includes a plurality of injectors gripped in a support plate to simultaneously inject vaccine into the same injection region irrespective of egg height and orientation. Fluid delivery systems meter prescribed vaccine dosages to the injecting needles with reduced turbulence, friction, heat and residence time to increase the delivered titer to the injected eggs. A transfer assembly includes a plurality of transfer suction cups which lift the injected eggs by causing a reduced pressure in a ring around the injection hole while maintaining the injection hole at atmospheric pressure, thus avoiding negative pressure in the egg. Once the eggs are lifted, the plate and suction cups move horizontally across the machine over to the other parallel track to deposit the injected eggs. All of the eggs are injected and transferred as a single group. The injection assembly is sprayed with a sanitizing solution at the same time that the injected eggs are moved from the injection section to the transfer section and the transfer assembly can transfer the eggs from the incubating tray to the hatching tray while the eggs in the next incubating tray are injected by the injecting assembly, thus increasing machine speed. The operation of the machine is controlled and monitored by a controller or computer with appropriate visual display monitor.
