Abstract: This liquid fuel vaporizing apparatus is so designed that liquid fuel is vaporized by a heating plug disposed in a tubular body when the temperature in a combustion chamber is low while it is vaporized by a radiant heat of the combustion chamber received by heat-receiving fins provided in the outer-peripheral part of the tubular body when the temperature in the combustion chamber is high. Particularly, an open-cellular member having intercommunication porosity which has numerous intercommunicating pores being excellent in heat conducting properties is disposed in a fuel passage in the tubular body, and the heat transfer area of said member is increased to make uniform the state of reception of heat from the heat-receiving fins.

The portions of the cores are exposed at the end surfaces of the board. A plurality of holes extend vertically through the copper foil cores and have hole-defining internal surfaces so plated as to connect the cores to one another. Another printed wiring board has a plurality of copper foil cores superposed over one another and spaced away from one another. The end portions of the cores are exposed at the end surfaces of the board. A plurality of holes extend vertically through the copper foil cores and have hole-defining internal surfaces so plated as to connect the cores to one another. The underside of the copper foil core at the lowermost position is exposed at a recess formed on the rear side of the board. Plating is formed which extends from the lowermost copper foil core to the rear side of the board.

Abstract: A thermoelectric converter has a N-type thermoelectric element, a P-type thermoelectric element, an endothermic electrode and a radiative electrode. One surface of the N-type thermoelectric element is attached to one surface of the endothermic electrode and the other surface is attached to one surface of the radiative electrode. One surface of the P-type thermoelectric element is attached to the other surface of the radiative electrode and the other surface is attached to the other endothermic electrode.

Abstract: An ink feeder driver for a rotary press in which switching of ink feeder drive paths can be effected by merely effecting a selection as to whether first and second gears are to be coupled together via only a second idle gear of via both first and second idle gears in mesh with each other, to match the direction of rotation of a first gear which is required to be rotated in a fixed direction at all times and the direction of rotation of a second gear rotated in a direction matched to the direction of rotation of a printing cylinder. The direction of rotation of the first gear with respect to the second gear is reversed by displacing the second idle gear by operating a displacing means.

Abstract: A screen printing apparatus and method for forming printed wiring on a board. The apparatus comprises a holder for holding the board upright in posiiton, and a printing device arranged vertically for at least one surface of the board as held in position by the holder, the printing device including a spatula-like squeegee, a screen, a first scraper in the form of a spatula for scraping ink from the front surface of the screen remote from the board and a second scraper in the form of a spatula for scraping ink from the rear surface of the screen adjacent the board, the first scraper and the second scraper being mechanically drivable at the same time to scrape the screen with the first scraper positioned below or above or at the same level as the second scraper, the squeegee being mechanically drivable for squeegeeing ink on the front surface of the screen after the first and second scrapers scrape the screen.

Abstract: A silver halide photographic material having as essential photographic layers at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one non-sensitive hydrophilic colloidal layer on a support is disclosed. At least one of said photographic layers contains fine oil globules at a density of 1 or more, and a hardener having at least three functional groups is incorporated in at least one photographic layer containing said fine oil globules and/or at least one photographic layer which is farther from said support than the photographic layer containing said fine oil globules.

Abstract: This invention provides a process for producing a printed circuit board characterized by the steps of drilling holes in a copper clad laminate, treating the entire surface of the laminate including the hole-defining inner surfaces with a catalyst, removing the catalyst from the surface of the copper foil of the laminate by mechanically cleaning the surface of the copper foil, depositing electroless nickel only on the hole-defining inner surfaces, forming a pattern with an etching resist, etching away the copper foil except at the pattern area, removing the etching resist, masking with a solder resist the entire surface except at the hole-defining inner surfaces and the lands, and subjecting the hole-defining inner surfaces and the lands to electroless copper plating.

Abstract: A compression ignition internal combustion engine having a swirl chamber and a primary combustion chamber both of which are fluid-connected by a primary communicating passage has a recess portion at the fuel impinged portion of the swirl chamber for producing a plurality of small swirls. A pair of second communicating passages connecting the swirl chamber and the primary combustion chamber are so designed as to be directed to the center of the swirl chamber whereby the separation of fuel and air is prevented and the harmful components within the exhaust gas are effectively reduced without deteriorating the combustibility of the mixture.

Abstract: A recirculating and recombustion type of exhaust gas purification system for a compression ignition engine includes an expansion manifold communicating with auxiliary combustion chambers of each cylinder through separate passages. Cam operated valves are located in each of the separate passages. The exhaust gas in an auxiliary combustion chamber is expanded into the manifold through one of the cam operated valves and is then drawn into the auxiliary combustion chamber of another cylinder whose piston is near the bottom of its intake or suction stroke via another open cam operated valve. The cam operated valves are actuated by hydraulic tappets which are controlled by a solenoid control valve. The solenoid control valve is energized under conditions of high load operation of the engine and, as a result, a hydraulic path is established which allows oil supplied to the tappets to return to the sump. Under this condition, the cam operated valves do not open.

Abstract: A recirculating and recombustion type of exhaust gas purification system for a compression ignition engine includes an expansion manifold communicating with auxiliary combustion chambers of each cylinder through separate passages. Cam operated valves are located in each of the separate passages. The exhaust gas in an auxiliary combustion chamber is expanded into the manifold through one of the cam operated valves and is then drawn into the auxiliary combustion chamber of another cylinder whose piston is near the bottom of its intake or suction stroke via another open cam operated valve. The thus recirculated or transferred exhaust gas is cooled by its expansion into the manifold, water jacketing within the cylinder head and air surrounding the exposed periphery. Further, in high load operation of the engine, a single butterfly valve disposed midway of the expansion manifold can control the amount of the exhaust gas circulation to improve the engine operation.

Abstract: A device for mounting a plastic film based resin plate for use in printing on a plate cylinder has a groove formed along one longitudinal side edge of each of two members having a symmetrical semicircular section and constituting a plate cylinder, each of said two members consisting of a plate cylinder proper and a plate cylinder outer ring, a fixing member made of a resilient material and having a wedge-shaped protrusion adapted to fit into said groove, said fixing member being fixedly secured to a freely rotatable support shaft which is mounted at a position adjacent to groove and is connected through a linkage to a first operating rod.
