Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a tread with a side surface on each axially outermost side thereof. The side surface is formed by a shoulder land portion at tread edge rising from a sidewall. The angle between a tangent to the side surface from the bottom thereof and a tangent to the surface of the sidewall 12 connecting to the side surface from the bottom is 130 degrees or more and less than 180 degrees. Also, the angle between the tangent to the side surface and the radial direction of the tire is 20 degrees or more and degrees or less. This design not only ensures retention of the stiffness of the tread but also prevents ground contact of any part of tire surface other than the tread during heavy-load running or high-speed cornering of the vehicle.

Abstract: A bit-rate automatic control circuit for feedback controlling the gain and bandwidth of a preamplifier in dependence on the bit-rate of a signal is disclosed. The circuit includes a bit-rate discrimination circuit configured to discriminate the bit rate of the signal, and an alarm circuit configured to determine whether the value of received power of the signal is less than the minimum acceptable value of the preamplifier or not. If said alarm circuit determines that the value of received power of the signal is less than the minimum acceptable value of the preamplifier, the bit-rate automatic control circuit determines, irrespective of the discrimination of said bit-rate discrimination circuit, that the bit-rate of the signal is low, and feedback controls the preamplifier based on the determination.

Abstract: A movable die base (2) is moved toward a stationary die base (1). A pressing force is applied by a bending punch (21) disposed on the movable die base to a bending target portion of a pipe (A) which is placed on a die (11) provided on the stationary die base and which has inserted therein a core metal (17).
