PURPOSE:To surely prevent an internal combustion engine from its overspeed, by providing a reduction gear means between the internal combustion engine and a transmitted member of driving wheel or the like and reducing a rotary speed, transmitted to the internal combustion engine from the transmitted member, with respect to the rotary speed transmitted to the transmitted member from the internal co...

PURPOSE:To facilitate the release of stack by prohibiting the drive power reduction control when the accelerator operating quantity is over a prescribed value and the car body speed is less than a prescribed value, in the drive power reduction control in case of the generation of a drive wheel slip. CONSTITUTION:A drive wheel speed detecting means (a) for detecting the revolution speed of a drive ...

PURPOSE:To prevent short sized articles, small articles and heavy weight articles, etc., from falling off by moving a movable block so that a movable belt roll for table on the upstream side separates from a movable belt roll for table on the downstream side when upper and lower heaters are closed. CONSTITUTION:A movable belt roll for table 2a on the downstream side, which approaches the upstream ...

A method of treating a potable water supply component, for example a pipe, pipe coupling or tap body, made of a leaded copper-based alloy such as a brass or gun metal, in order to inhibit the leach out of lead from the alloy by potable water during service, comprises treating at least internal surfaces of the component with an aqueous solution of an acid that forms a substantially water insoluble ...

Lyophilisate and process for preparing it and the use of the lyophilisate for preparing pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of female infertility and for protection of the gonads.

PURPOSE:To improve the working efficiency capable of forming lead wirings in suitable lengths by movably supporting a slide base at the side of an operation unit, opening and closing to hold a wire material, and providing a cutter for cutting a feed roller for winding the material in the prescribed length and the material. CONSTITUTION:A slide base 22 is mounted on a slider 18, a slender hole 27 i...

The invention relates to heat treatment of a glass plate (100) for strengthening only a peripheral region (100a) of the glass plate while annealing the major region. The glass plate is heated to a temperature of 550-650C and placed on a ring-like holder (56) which is maintained at a temperature lower than the temperature of the glass plate by 100 to 600C such that the peripheral region (100a...

A large ceramic substrate article for electronic applications including at least one layer of sintered ceramic material, the layer including a plurality of greensheet segments of ceramic material joined edge to edge. Also disclosed is a method of fabricating a large ceramic greensheet article as well as a large ceramic substrate article.

A solution of amphiphilic molecules and water is atomized to form a mist of droplets which are deposited on a substrate surface to completely cover same with a coating of the solution. The amphiphilic molecules in the coating self-assemble on the surface into a continuous thin film that is less than 500 nanometers thick. The water is evaporated from the coating to leave only the film chemically bo...

An irrigation/aspiration pump system capable of operating in a plurality of different modes suitable for a variety of different endoscopic surgical procedures. The irrigation/aspiration pump system operates with a selected one of a plurality of tubing sets, each tubing set being adapted to provide irrigation and aspiration for a particular surgical procedure and coded to define the type of procedu...

A transmission power control method for controlling transmission power of radio communications in a CDMA system. The transmission power of a first transmitted signal transmitted from a first station is determined by a transmission power control signal contained in a second transmitted signal sent from a second station. The first station receives the second transmitted signal in the form of convolu...

A card game amusement device simulates a card game in which a card the number or the suit of which matches with a number or a suit of a card displayed on a second screen region (41b) of a graphic screen (41) is selected from cards displayed on a first screen region (41a), and in which the card is moved onto the card displayed on the second screen region (41b), and in which selecting and moving a c...

The reliability of NQR detection of substances such as explosives or drugs is improved by giving an alarm only when a response is detected at a plurality of resonances, or when the relative intensities of the signals detected at the plurality of resonant frequencies match an expected pattern. Tests at different frequencies may be interleaved to reduce test tune. The excitation of each resonance ma...

In a magnetic resonance imaging system for acquiring a magnetic resonance signal from a three-dimensional region to be imaged by executing a data acquisition pulse sequence based on a three-dimensional Fourier transform method including selective excitation, regions located on both sides of the three-dimensional region in a slice direction are presaturated prior to execution of the data acquisitio...

In a sheet with a number of open-topped impressions to hold chemical and/or biochemical and/or microbiological substances at least one of the impressions is sealed off by using a thermoplastic film. In the process a thermoplastic cover is placed on top of the sheet so that at least the one impression is covered over, a weld seam is produced round the top of the impression joining the sheet to the ...
