Abstract: A crimped yarn includes a synthetic fiber which contains an aliphatic polyester resin (A) and a thermoplastic polyamide resin (B) and exposed area ratio of the aliphatic polyester resin (A) with respect to fiber surface area is 5% or less and a crimp is imparted to a multifilament comprising said synthetic fiber, and a fiber structure containing said crimped yarn as at least a part thereof. Furthermore, a crimped yarn in which the aliphatic polyester resin (A) and the thermoplastic polyamide resin (B) are constituted of a polymer alloy type synthetic fiber, or a crimped yarn constituted by a sheath/core type composite fiber in which the core component comprises the aliphatic polyester resin (A) or a polymer alloy of the aliphatic polyester resin (A) and the thermoplastic polyamide resin (B) and the sheath component comprises the thermoplastic polyamide resin (B), and a fiber structure containing said crimped yarn as at least a part thereof.

Abstract: A gas line (120) for supplying hydrogen gas and a harness (110) for supplying power to an electromagnetic valve are connected to an electromagnetic valve mechanism (200). The length of the harness (110) from a connecting member (111) to a fastener (160) is denoted by the letter “n” and the length of the gas line (120) from a connecting member (121) to a fastener (170) is denoted by the letter “m” (n<m). During a vehicle collision, a hydrogen gas tank (100) moves, placing tension on the harness (110) and the gas line (120). The tension causes both the harness (110) and the gas line (120) to stretch. The limit value of the stretch amount of the harness (110), which is shorter between the connecting member and the fastener, is low such that the harness (110) will break before the gas line (120) is damaged. As a result, power to the electromagnetic valve mechanism (200) is cut off and the electromagnetic valve closes before the gas line (120) is damaged, thus preventing a gas leak.

Abstract: A fuel injection type carburetor for multi-cylinder internal combustion engines includes: a throttle body having a throttle bore extending substantially vertically and being connected at the bottom portion thereof to a collecting portion of an intake manifold extending substantially horizontally; a throttle valve arranged in the throttle bore, a linear injection type fuel injection valve having a fuel injection nozzle arranged in the throttle bore in an area downstream area of the throttle valve and inclined toward the downstream direction; and an atomization promoting device arranged at a position opposite to the fuel injection nozzle so as to face the nozzle. The atomization promoting device is, for instance, a high frequency oscillator or a so-called PTC heater.

Abstract: The electrophotographic photosensitive member for use in electrophotographic copying machines comprises a photoconductive layer and a support. Such photosensitive member is provided with means formed in a portion or portions outside of the image forming portion thereof in order to prevent the developing solution from flowing out from the side edges of the member.

Abstract: In an electrophotographic apparatus wherein the images of successive portions of an original to be copied are formed into electrostatic latent images which in turn are visualized by means of liquid developer to provide a copy image, the latent images are formed in predetermined spaced-apart relationship on the surface of a photosensitive medium and the non-image bearing portions of the photosensitive medium between adjacent ones of the latent images are maintained at a potential of the opposite polarity to that of the developer.
