Abstract: A liquid thermally expandable curable resin composition for use such as bonding by filling a clearance has difficulty in achieving both drying property and film forming property and also has a problem with storage stability. The problems were solved with a curable resin composition having the following composition. A curable resin composition comprises: (A) a film forming resin, (B) an epoxy resin, (C) an organic solvent, (D) thermally expandable particles, and (E) a curing agent ingredient for the (B). The (C) is selected from organic solvents having a boiling point of 100° C. or less and being liquid at normal temperature and contains a combination of (C-1) an ester-based solvent and (C-2) one or more solvents selected from ketone-based solvents, ether-based solvents, and glycol-based solvents, and a content ratio between the (C-1) and the (C-2) in a mass ratio is in a range of (C-1)/(C-2)=0.12 to 0.23.

Abstract: A cooling device of an outboard engine unit includes a cooling water passage for delivering cooling water from a water pump. The cooling water passage branches into a first passageway for cooling a cylinder block and cylinder head of an engine and a second passageway for cooling a case of a supercharger. Thus, the supercharger and the engine can be cooled to and kept at their respective appropriate temperatures.

Abstract: A silicone rubber composition comprising (A) an organopolysiloxane composition of the organic peroxide cure or addition reaction cure type, (B) a normally solid organic compound having at least two ester bonds per molecule, and (C) particulate aluminum hydroxide having an average particle size of up to 20 ?m is suited for use as high-voltage electric insulator since it maintains insulating properties for a long term in outdoor service and has acid resistance and a long lifetime even in polluted areas.

Abstract: A print terminal includes a memory reader for reading image data recorded in a recording medium, an image-capturing unit for capturing the image data read by the memory reader, and an image-processing unit for processing the image data captured by the image-capturing unit. The image-processing unit has a first rotation-processing function for rotating a print image to be used in printing the image data, a second rotation-processing function for rotating a print-medium image to change the orientation of a print medium to be used in printing the image data, and a third rotation function for simultaneously rotating both the print image and the print-medium image.

Abstract: Exhaust passage system in an outboard engine unit includes: an engine-side exhaust pipe; a downstream exhaust pipe for directing exhaust gas downstream from the engine-side exhaust pipe, a lower end portion of the engine-side exhaust pipe and an upper end portion of the downstream exhaust pipe being positioned in horizontally parallel to each other and horizontally overlap each other so as to provide fluid communication therebetween via a through-hole formed in the overlapping portions of the end portions; and a vertical partition wall provided, in an upper end region of the overlapping portions for hampering back-flows of fluid.

Abstract: A vertical internal combustion engine E has a crankshaft 18 enclosed in a crank chamber 20, a belt-drive transmission mechanism 50 held in a belt chamber 63 and including a rubber belt 53 for transmitting power of the crankshaft 18 to a camshaft 24 in a valve train 23, and a transmission case 60 defining the belt chamber 63. The belt chamber 63 communicates with the crank chamber 20 by way of vent holes 70 and 71, the transmission case 60 is provided with an internal wall Wi disposed between the vent holes 70 and 71 and the belt 53 in the belt chamber 63 to deflect the flow of an oil-containing gas flowing from the crank chamber 20 into the belt chamber 63 such that the oil-containing gas flows in directions deviating from a direction toward the belt 53. The belt 53 is lubricated with oil in the oil-containing gas. The belt 53 is prevented from being excessively exposed to the oil-containing gas from the crank chamber 20 to extend its life.

Abstract: A vertical internal combustion engine includes a crankshaft enclosed in a crank chamber, a belt-drive transmission mechanism held in a belt chamber and including a rubber belt for transmitting power of the crankshaft to a camshaft included in a valve train, and a transmission case defining the belt chamber. The transmission case has a lower case between the crank chamber and the belt chamber. The belt has a part extending over the crank chamber, and the lower case is disposed to screen the part of the belt from the crank chamber. The belt is lubricated by oil in oil-containing gas from the crank chamber. Thus the oil containing gas is prevented from excessively contacting the rubber belt, so that the life of the belt is extended.

Abstract: A vertical internal combustion engine E is incorporated into an outboard motor or the like. The vertical internal combustion engine E includes a crankshaft 18 enclosed in a crank chamber 20, and a belt-drive transmission mechanism 50 including a rubber belt 53 for transmitting power of the crankshaft 18 to a camshaft 24, and held in a belt chamber 63. The belt chamber 63 is isolated from the crank chamber 20 by a lower case 61 of a transmission case 60 holding the belt-drive transmission mechanism 50 therein such that the flow of an oil-containing gas from the crank chamber 20 deviates from a direction toward the belt 53. The belt 53 is lubricated with oil injected concentratedly into the belt chamber 63 through jet nozzles 80 disposed in the belt chamber 63. Thus the excessive exposure of the belt 53 to the oil-containing gas from the crank chamber can be avoided, the life of the belt can be extended and the belt is lubricated properly.

Abstract: A data output apparatus can suitably be used for an automatic printing service apparatus for printing an image such as a photograph from the image data input from a recording medium. The data output apparatus computes the operating ratio of the automatic printing service apparatus and, when the computed operating ratio falls, it changes the charge to the charge associated with the fallen operating ratio and the display section (7) of the apparatus notifies that the charge is reduced. With this arrangement, it is possible to raise the operating ratio of the automatic printing service apparatus.
