Abstract: An engine exhaust treatment device is capable of combusting PM accumulated in a DPF or activating an exhaust purification catalyst even immediately after engine startup or at the time of light load operation. A combustible gas supply passage (8) communicates with an exhaust passage (4) on an upstream of a combustion catalyst (5). An air supply unit (9) and an ignition unit (10) are provided in this supply passage and interlocked with a control unit (11). Where a temperature of the exhaust is lower than a predetermined temperature, the control unit supplies air (12) to a combustible gas by the air supply unit (9) and causes ignition of the combustible gas by the ignition unit (10), so as to cause flame combustion of the combustible gas. The temperature of the exhaust (6) in the exhaust passage (4) is increased by heat of this flame combustion.

Abstract: In an accelerating tube which uses a conductive insulator, there is a possibility that the dopant concentration on a surface of the conductive insulator becomes non-uniform so that the surface resistance of the conductive insulator becomes non-uniform. Accordingly, a circumferential groove is formed on the inner surface of the conductive insulator accelerating tube in plural stages, and metal is metalized along inner portions of the grooves. When the resistance of a specific portion on the surface of the accelerating tube differs from the resistance of an area around the specific portion, the potential of the metalized region on the inner surface of the accelerating tube becomes a fixed value and hence, the potential distribution on the inner surface of the accelerating tube in the vertical direction can be maintained substantially equal without regard to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A game device is provided. The game device includes a pass target selector, an operated target switcher, a first player controller, and a second player controller. The pass target selector selects a player character to be a pass target in a case where a first player character is in possession of a moving object. The switcher switches the user operated target from the first player character to a second player character. The first player controller moves the first player character and the moving object after switching, based on a position of an opponent player character, determines whether positions of the first player character or the moving object and the second character satisfy a condition, and causes, if the condition is satisfied, the first player character to make a pass to the second player character. The second player controller moves the second player character after switching.

The clustering section 301 performs clustering on a plurality of characteristic expressions extracted from a document set such that characteristic expressions, in which sentences to be referred to as original sentences are the same, are compiled in one cluster, based on the similarity in original document sets which are sets of documents including the respective characteristic expressions, the documents being of the document set. Consequently, the probability of repeatedly viewing the same original document by a user can be reduced reliably.
