Abstract: A resonator is arranged in an intake system including a pipe section for partitioning an intake port from an intake passage that communicates the intake port with a combustion chamber of an engine, the resonator including: a branch pipe having one end branching to the pipe section and the other end closed so that a silencing chamber is defined therein; and at least one partition wall for partitioning the silencing chamber into at least one pneumatic spring chamber, the partition wall having a natural frequency lower than the frequency of silencing target sound of intake noise propagated from the intake passage.

Abstract: A node is a signalling end point that handles a control signal of the common channel signalling system. Four IP-STPs are signalling transfer points that transfers the control signals. A node and four IP-STPs belong to a logical network A identified by a network identifier NI=0, and four IP-STPs belong to a logical network B identified by a network identifier NI=15. In the logical network A, only one signalling point code is allocated to the four IP-STPs. The control signal is transferred using the network identifier NI and signalling point code SPC.

Abstract: A vibration damping mount capable of reducing vibration and noise, and improving vehicle stability and controllability. Between an inner cylindrical sleeve and outer cylindrical sleeve which are coaxially arranged with each other, a vibration-damping rubber body is disposed and joined thereto. A stopper plate is secured to a lower end of the inner cylindrical sleeve. The vibration-damping rubber body extends from the lower end thereof along a flange which projects outward from a lower end of the outer cylindrical sleeve to define an annular rubber stopper. An end edge of the annular rubber stopper abuts a peripheral part of the stopper plate.

Abstract: The conductive roll accordin g to the present invention can be used for develop ing, charging, destaticizing and transferring images of electrophotography as the roll can be tightly contacted against a photosensitive member for uniform charging of the potential. The conductive roll is constructed to minimize contamination of the photosensitive member. The conductive roll includes a highly conductive shaft provided at the core, an intermediate layer provided on the outer peri phery of the shaft and is made of a conductive and elastic material or a foamed member of such material, and a coated film layer provided on the outer periphery of the intermediate layer having a high resistance.

Abstract: A driving force controller for an electric motor vehicle which suppresses changes in behavior of a vehicle when a right or left driving wheel experiences trouble and detects vehicle conditions to independently control the driving force of each wheel so as not to deviate from a predetermined range. The driving force controller computes a driving force for each wheel in accordance to a demand value for driving force and a detected vehicle traveling condition to drive each wheel independently by electric motors. Motor drivers control the motors so that each motor generates power corresponding to the value of driving force computed therefor. A driving demand detector detects the value of driving force demanded for the vehicle and a vehicle condition detector detects a traveling condition of the vehicle. Wheel driving condition detectors detect conditions at the wheels.

Abstract: A vehicle has a rotary magnetic field member which is rotatably supported at a position near the surface of a roadway along which the vehicle runs and rotatingly driven by a driving device. The rotary magnetic field member has magnetic poles of different polarities alternately arranged around its circumference. The vehicle also has an electrical power collector for receiving electrical power from an electrical power supply associated with the roadway. The received electrical power is supplied under the control of a controller to the driving device thereby rotatably driving the rotary magnetic field member. The rotary magnetic field member when rotated relative to the roadway made of an electrically conductive non-magnetic material, forms a varying magnetic field in cooperation with the roadway, thereby generating propulsion force for propelling the vehicle and force for suspending the vehicle, so that the vehicle is propelled in a floating state.

Abstract: A drive unit for an electric motor vehicle includes first and second electric motors having characteristics which achieve high efficiencies in different operational regions. A common motor shaft receives output torques from both of the first and second motors, which output torque are then transmitted to a drive wheel. Sensors are provided for sensing a travelling condition of the vehicle and the rotational speeds of the first and second motors. Request torque, i.e. that torque required for the travel of the vehicle, is determined in accordance with the detected travelling condition of the vehicle. The determined request torque is distributed to the first and second motors in accordance with the detected rotational speeds to govern the output torques of the first and second motors.

Abstract: The present application is directed to a package material for microwave cooking which is obtained by integrally laminating a microwave heating element, which generates heat when irradiated with microwave, to a base material to form a sheet; and providing, on the sheet, many slits in the form of broken lines, in parallel, and in alternation between the adjacent ones.

Abstract: In a speech analysis and synthesis (composing) method, a phoneme transition waveform is generated to smoothly couple phoneme PHA to PHB having different pitch periods. The method involves obtaining the differential value (difference phoneme .DELTA.PH or difference phoneme .DELTA.PHI and difference clock or pitch period), and in composition merely adding phoneme PHA and difference phoneme .DELTA.PHI and clock period and difference clock period.

Abstract: A key holder which includes a body and a key pivotably mounted on the body and movable between an operating position in which the key is disposed outside of the body and a non-operating position in which the key is housed within the body. The key holder may also include a biasing member for maintaining the key at the operating position thereof or the non-operating position thereof and the key may include a stopper member disposed thereon which is engageable with the body to maintain the key at the non-operating position thereof.

Abstract: A planar heat generating device is made up of two heat radiating plates having through-holes, heat generating units of positive temperature characteristic material held between the two plates, two lead wires connected to the two plates, and an insulating cover layer of heat resisting synthetic resin which covers the two plates, the heat generating units and the connecting points of the lead wires. Fluid through-holes are formed in the parts of the insulating cover layer which are applied to the through-holes of the plates, so that the heat generated is effectively conducted to the fluid.
