Abstract: It is sought to provide an indicator lamp, which is excellent not only in short distance visual recognition property but also in long distance one, as well as being further excellent in sight field angle property. An indicator lamp includes a light-emitting element 1 and a light-emitting element lens 2 having a light-emitting element mounting cavity 3 formed at the bottom, in which the light-emitting element disposed in the cavity 3 emits light to be fully reflected by the peripheral surface of the lens 1 and proceeds as emission light flux forwardly of the lens 1. The slope angle of the peripheral surface with respect to the lens axis is reduced progressively from the bottom toward the lens front surface 5 in three stages, thus forming circumferential corners 7 and 8 as boundaries between adjacent ones of the three stages. The circumferential corners scatter light emitted from the light emitting element 2 to provide concentric emission light fluxes as viewed from the side of the lens front.

Abstract: [Objective] To satisfy a required processing speed and achieve the maximum power-saving effect in a microprocessor. [Means for Solution] A control value is calculated by performing proportional and integral processing on a deviation of a target instruction execution number from a measured instruction execution number. Unification processing or unification cancellation processing is performed in accordance with the control value. The unification processing stops supply of clocks to selected pipeline registers and controls the pipeline such that a signal passes through the pipeline registers so as to reduce the number of stages of the pipeline. The unification cancellation processing resumes the supply of clocks to the selected pipeline registers and controls the pipeline such that the pipeline registers latch the signal in synchronism with the clocks so as to increase the number of stages of the pipeline.

Abstract: It is sought to provide an indicator lamp, which is excellent not only in short distance visual recognition property but also in long distance one, as well as being further excellent in sight field angle property. An indicator lamp comprising a light-emitting element 1 and a light-emitting element lens 2 having a light-emitting element mounting cavity 3 form at the bottom is disposed, in which the light-emitting element disposed in the cavity 3 emits light to be fully reflected by the peripheral surface of the lens 1 and proceeds as emission light flux forwardly of the lens 1. The slope angle of the peripheral surface with respect to the lens axis is reduced progressively from the bottom toward the lens front surface 5 in three stages, thus forming circumferential corners 7 and 8 as boundaries between adjacent ones of the three stages. The circumferential corners scatter light emitted from the light emitting element 2 to provide concentric emission light fluxes as viewed from the side of the lens front.

Abstract: Several components include a model document file, a help file describing an explanatory text as to this model document file, a component specific wizard program or a script file for screen definition for general purpose wizard for to be used for setting concrete information to items in this model document file, and a component information file for associating these with one another. When any of the components is selected and then a help button is pressed, a component select program reads the help file associated with the component and displays the same. When a creation button is pressed, the component select program activates the wizard program associated with the component to set concrete information to items in the model document file.

Abstract: A piston slidably fitted in a cylinder is connected to an auxiliary piston slidably fitted in an auxiliary cylinder coaxial with the cylinder through a first connecting rod. The left and right crankshaft halves are disposed outside of a piston sliding range of the cylinder with respect to the radial direction thereof. The increase of the volume of a combustion chamber corresponding to the increase of the crank angle with reference to top dead center of the piston is suppressed, and it is therefore possible to enhance the equal volume degree at the time of combustion of a mixture gas and to enhance thermal efficiency. This arrangement also enhances thermal efficiency, and simplifies the structures of intake systems and valve mechanisms when employed in horizontally opposed type internal combustion engine.

Abstract: In a power transmission path of a vehicle for traveling on uneven ground, a torque converter is provided so that torque transmission to a propeller shaft varies smoothly. Accordingly, it is difficult for the torque transmitted to the propeller shaft to exceed a tire slip limit. This arrangement suppresses slippage during traveling on uneven ground such as a muddy, marshy, sandy, snowy, or gravel road surfaces.

Abstract: A protective device (3) for a hermetic type electromotively driven compressor (1a) includes a protector assembly (30) having a housing (32) with an electric current fuse (34) which detects a predetermined over-current. The housing (32) comprises an electrically insulating skirt member (31) formed so as to block a conductive part on the side facing an external connection terminal.

Abstract: A piston slidably fitted in a cylinder is connected to an auxiliary piston slidably fitted in an auxiliary cylinder coaxial with the cylinder through a first connecting rod. An intermediate pin provided on the auxiliary piston is connected to left and right crankshaft halves through a pair of second connecting rods. The left and right crankshaft halves are disposed outside of a piston sliding range of the cylinder with respect to the radial direction thereof. The increase of the volume of a combustion chamber corresponding to the increase of the crank angle with reference to top dead center of the piston is suppressed, and it is therefore possible to enhance the equal volume degree at the time of combustion of a mixture gas and to enhance thermal efficiency.

Abstract: An arrangement for improving the cooling performance of an engine by suitably arranging an exhaust pipe and a valve mechanism with respect to the inclined direction of a cylinder block. A cylinder block is inclined in the rightward or leftward direction of a vehicle body, and an exhaust pipe and a valve mechanism are disposed along the inclined side wall of the cylinder block. The opposed side wall of the cylinder block, which has a large space in the vertical direction and exerts a large effect on the cooling performance of the engine, is less susceptible to thermal effects from the exhaust pipe and the valve mechanism, to thereby improve the cooling performance of the entire engine.
