Abstract: A beverage container with increased strength includes a generally cylindrical sidewall that is disposed around a vertical axis, and a bottom. The bottom provides a supporting surface and includes a bottom recess portion that is disposed radially inwardly of the supporting surface. The bottom recess portion includes a concave domed panel that is disposed a positional distance above the supporting surface by a dome positioning portion of the bottom recess portion. The domed panel includes a portion thereof with a curvature in the range wherein increases in the curvature decrease the static dome reversal pressure; and the dome positioning portion includes first and second parts thereof that are disposed at different radial distances from the vertical axis and that provide increases in both roll-out resistance and static dome reversal pressure.

Abstract: A piezoelectric device is used in an dual axial gyroscope system and includes a piezoelectric exciter for generating a linear velocity on a first axis; a first piezoelectric detector element, placed on a surface of the piezoelectric exciter in a direction orthogonal to the first axis, for detecting a first Coriolis force provided in a direction orthogonal to the first detector; and as second piezoelectric detector element, placed on the surface of the piezoelectric exciter in a direction orthogonal to the first axis and the first detector, for detecting a second Coriolis force provided in a direction orthogonal to the second detector element.
Abstract: An image data processing apparatus is described that prevents the quality of image data from being degraded by pixel quantity conversion. The apparatus includes an analog processor, a quantity converter and a binarization converter. The analog processor quantizes each of the analog element data to generate multiple-state element data, The quantity converter changes the number of plural pieces of multiple-state element data in one line to generate quantity-converted element data. The quantity converter averages at least two adjacent pieces of multiple-state element data to generate an average value as one piece of new multiple-state element data. The quantity converter further selectively outputs the new multiple-state element data and original multiple-state element data as the quantity-converted element data. The binarization converter binarizes the quantity-converted element data to generate binary element data.
