Abstract: A video display device comprising; a display; an exercise amount detection sensor configured to detect an exercise amount of a viewer while the viewer is viewing content displayed and output sensor information; a timer that measures a viewing time; and a processor. The processor: acquires the viewing time from the timer; calculates the exercise amount of the viewer based on the sensor information acquired within a predetermined period of viewing time; compares the exercise amount with an exercise facilitation threshold for determining whether to facilitate exercise for the viewer; displays a specific object within a display area of the display when the exercise amount falls below the exercise facilitation threshold; and moves the specific object from an inside of the display area to an outside thereof in accordance with an external coordinate system expressing a position in a real space associated with a two-dimensional coordinate system in the display area.

Abstract: The plunger pump according to the present invention discharges fuel by reciprocation of a plunger, and comprises metallic diaphragm type dampers, provided at a fuel inlet side and a fuel outlet side, respectively, for reducing pressure pulsation of fuel. Each metallic diaphragm type damper comprises a pressure chamber for receiving fuel pressure, a back pressure chamber into which gas is charged, and a metallic diaphragm for defining the pressure chamber and the back pressure chamber. Since the metallic diaphragm type dampers are provided at the fuel inlet side and the fuel outlet side, respectively, noise and vibration caused by pressure pulsation are reduced at the fuel inlet side and the fuel outlet side. Also, since the diaphragms are metallic diaphragms, deterioration thereof generated by fuel liquid and back pressure gas is low, reliability is high, and the lifetime is long.

Abstract: An output apparatus automatically selects one of a plurality of interfaces and ensures receiving buffers corresponding to the interfaces. Data is taken through each interface into the corresponding receiving buffer and the device is controlled to change sizes of the receiving buffers in accordance with conditions of selection.

Abstract: A guide hole extending axially, a valve seat and an injection port are coaxially formed on an elongated valve body in this order toward a distal end of the valve body. A pressurized fuel is introduced into a basal end of the guide hole. A valve element is slidably received in the guide hole of the valve body. Inclined passages are formed in one of the valve element and the valve body. When the valve element is lifted, the pressurized fuel flows, as a swirling current, between a valve portion and the valve seat, proceeds toward an exit of the injection port while swirling along an inner peripheral surface of the injection port, and is injected from the injection port. When the valve element is in the fully lifted position, an orifice for restricting an amount of fuel injected from the injection port per unit time is formed between the valve portion and the valve seat.

Abstract: A valve seat member is fixedly received in a lower end portion of an elongated body. The valve seat member has a valve seat and an injection port at its lower end portion. A valve element is axially movably received in the body. The valve element is fully lifted from a position where a valve portion formed on the lower end of the valve element sits on the valve seat to a position where an upper end portion of the valve element is brought into abutment with a stopper of the body. This fully lifted amount is determined by the thickness of a shim interposed between a first receiving surface of the body and a second receiving surface of the valve seat member. The lower end portion of the body and the valve seat member are welded over the entire periphery.

Abstract: A non-dispersive infrared gas analyzer, with improved linearity in output concentration signal especially in measuring gas species of high concentration, includes a measuring cell into which a gas to be measured is fed, a non-selective infrared radiation sensor disposed on one side of the measuring cell, an optical band-pass filter disposed between the measuring cell and the infrared radiation sensor, and a nonselective infrared radiation source, disposed on the other side of the measuring cell and having an infrared radiation transmission window, wherein the radiation source further includes a gas filled therein at a predetermined partial pressure and the filled gas has at least a common partial molecular structure with the gas to be measured.

Abstract: A flat resistance for a blower control unit of an automobile air conditioner, and a blower control unit using the same. The flat resistance includes: a porcelain enameled metallic substrate including a flat head portion, having an edge and one surface, and parallel terminal supporting portions projecting outwardly from the edge of the head; a resistance circuit printed on the one surface of the head portion, the resistance circuit including a plurality of resistances electrically connected in series; a temperature fuse, interposed in the resistance circuit, for being tripped to break the resistance circuit when the porcelain enameled metallic substrate becomes overheated; and terminals, printed on both the head portion and the terminal supporting portions, each terminal being connected to one end of a corresponding one of the resistances.

Abstract: A noise filter and terminal structure therefor are disclosed. An insulator case composed of a case main body and a cap are utilized, with the case main body including coil fixing projections and capacitor position restricting ribs. A plurality of metallic terminals provide electrical connections to the electrical components within the insulator case and extend out of that case between adjacent edges of the case main body and cap. The metallic terminals are generally flat, with a generally U-shaped bent portion and a connection part extending from the bent portion. The bent portion is fitted into a corresponding concave part in the case main body. The connection part includes hook-shaped projections adapted to hold a wire, and the projections of all terminals are at generally the same level to facilitate automatic soldering.
