Abstract: In an exhaust control valve having a valve housing and a valve body rotatably contained in the valve housing, a transmission member is fitted to an outer end of the valve shaft and protrudes from the outside of the valve housing. A bearing bushing for rotatably bearing an external circumferential surface of the valve shaft by its internal circumferential surface and rotatably bearing an end face of the valve body by its end face is mounted in the valve housing. The valve body is urged by load from a thrust spring for achieving a pressure contact seal condition between the opposed end faces of the bearing bush and the valve body.

Abstract: A method for controlling a motor-driven injection molding machine which includes a plurality of drive motors. In the method, load current flowing through at least one drive motor serving as a drive source is detected in order to estimate heat generation value of the drive motor. When the estimated heat generation value reaches a preset stopping point, the drive motor is stopped. When the estimated heat generation value reaches a preset alarming point, which is lower than the stopping point, an alarm is issued.

Abstract: Internet Call Center quality of service is enhanced by directing all callers' browser-initiated contact requests to a single Internet Interface Controller. Upon receiving a caller's contact request, ruled-based routing is applied at the Internet Interface Controller to determine the Call Center, from among the Enterprise-wide domain of Call Centers, best suited for servicing the call. A pre-routed contact request is created establishing the Call Center best suited for servicing the call as the appropriate destination Call Center and a session is established between the caller and the Call Center best suited for servicing the call.

Abstract: A method for controlling a motor-driven injection molding machine in which heat generation of a drive section including a drive motor is monitored, and when the drive section enters an overload state, the drive motor is stopped. In the method, during molding, heat generation value (overload factor) of the drive motor is estimated from load current flowing through the drive motor. When the estimated heat generation value (overload factor) reaches a preset stopping point or when a thermostat attached to the drive section outputs an overload detection signal indicating an overload state, the drive motor is stopped.
