Abstract: The automobile decorative-part (1) comprises a resin-compact (3) having a decorative-layer (2) on its surface-layer and comprises a clear-coat layer (4) for protecting said surface-layer, and that a high-gloss region (R1) of a relatively high-gloss level is mixed with a low-gloss region (R2) of a relatively low-gloss level on the surface of said decorative-part, and that a clear-coat paint is sprayed by an atomization-coating machine onto the surface of the decorative-layer (2), and that the atomization-coating machine contains an ester-based solvent of a low-boiling point as the main-solvent that has a boiling-point of 100 degrees Celsius or less and has a solid-content of 35 to 40 percent by mass, thus forming the clear-coat layer (4) that makes it partially possible to mat the gloss of the surface of the clear-coat layer, thus manufacturing a decorative-part with an excellent quality design.

Abstract: A failure diagnosis method diagnoses a failure occurring in a diagnosis target apparatus including a drive mechanism having a drive member that receives power supply to operate and a power transmission member that transmits drive force of the drive member to another member. The method includes automatically acquiring by a sensor an operation state signal indicating an operation state during the drive mechanism operating for a predetermined period; and analyzing the automatically acquired operation state signal based on a failure probability model, which is obtained by modeling a cause of failure occurring in the diagnosis target apparatus with using probabilities, to execute failure diagnosis with respect to each of constituent members of the drive mechanism.

Abstract: A failure diagnosis method diagnoses failure occurring in an image forming apparatus. The failure causes defect in an image output from the image forming apparatus. The failure diagnosis method includes acquiring operation state signals indicating operation states during the image forming apparatus operating in different operation conditions, respectively; and analyzing the acquired operation state signals based on a failure probability model, which is obtained by modeling a cause of the failure occurring in the image forming apparatus with using probabilities, to execute failure diagnosis with respect to each of constituent members constituting the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: A high-octane gasoline is produced by the conversion of a light hydrocarbon containing C.sub.2 -C.sub.7 paraffins and/or C.sub.2 -C.sub.7 olefins using a crystalline aluminogallosilicate containing about 0.1-2.5% by weight of aluminum and about 0.1-5% by weight of gallium in the skeleton thereof and having a particle size in the range of about 0.05-20 .mu.m, with at least 80% by weight of the crystalline aluminogallosilicate having a particle size of 0.1-10 .mu.m.

Abstract: A latent color image developing system for copying a document having a first color images and second color images develops the first color images with a first color developer and the second color images with a second color developer. The second color developer includes a toner and a magnetic carrier having a density of less than 4.0 g/cm.sup.3 and a particle size in the range of 30-50 microns. A developer roll is used having a main developing pole with a flux density of more than 500 gauss in a nip region proximate a photosensitive member having latent electrostatic images to be developed.

Abstract: A rocking cradle is provided. The cradle includes a support having a limitedly elastically vertically displaceable pivot, a cradle body adapted to hold a baby having a center of gravity in a predetermined position, the cradle body being mounted on the pivot with the center of gravity being above the pivot, and a rocking mechanism remote from the pivot and connected between the cradle body and the support for oscillating the cradle body on the pivot.
