Abstract: The invention provides a system that associates data files with one another effectively to visually represent a relation among the data files and allows a user to easily understand relationship of contents of the data files. The system determines whether there is a parent data file for a selected retrieval object data file with reference to a contract association table and, if the parent data file is present, changes the retrieval object to the parent data file and repeats the processing. If the parent data file is not present, the system stores a present retrieval object data file as display data, that is, store a top data file as display data. Then, the system retrieves all data files associated with the top data file, stores the data files as display data, generates a relation diagram of the data files, and transmits the relation diagram to a user terminal.

Abstract: A display or a display terminal includes a display panel. The display panel displays commodity information of commodities displayed in a store. A touch panel is stacked and arranged on a display surface of the display panel. An RFID reader reads administrator information stored in an authentication card. When a microcomputer determines that the administrator information is read, the microcomputer changes a mode of the display or the display terminal from a normal mode to a changing mode. In the normal mode, display content of the display panel is not changed even if the touch panel is touched and designated. In the changing mode, the display content of the display panel is switched according to the touch and designation on the touch panel.

Abstract: A process for producing a urethane resin having a low viscosity and usable as a wide range of pressure-sensitive adhesives ranging from a strong-tack region to a slight-tack region, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive are provided. The process for producing a urethane resin comprises reacting a polyol with a polyisocyanate compound in such a proportion that isocyanate groups are in excess to thereby obtain an isocyanate-group-terminated prepolymer, thereafter reacting the isocyanate-group-terminated prepolymer with a chain extender, and reacting the resultant polymer with a chain terminator, wherein the chain extender has three or more functional groups reactive with an isocyanate group, wherein one of the functional groups is a primary amino group or a secondary amino group, another is a primary hydroxyl group, and the remaining functional group(s) are a secondary hydroxyl group or a tertiary hydroxyl group. The pressure-sensitive adhesive comprises the urethane resin obtained.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a process for urethane resin production in which the molecular weight of the urethane resin can be easily controlled regardless of the kind of polyisocyanate compound and which can yield a urethane resin for use as a removable pressure-sensitive adhesive usable in extensive applications ranging from a strong-tack region to a slight-tack region.

Abstract: In an intake valve lift variable engine including: an engine body; a cylinder head; an intake valve which is disposed in the cylinder head and which is controlled to be open and close so as to regulate the amount of intake air; and an intake system having no throttle valve and connected to the cylinder head, blow-by gas is sucked from a crank case of the engine body into a first pump and pressurizingly transferred by the first pump to the side of the intake system, and purge gas from a canister is mixed into the blow-by gas pressurizingly transferred by the first pump. Thus, the blow-by gas and the purge gas are guided to the intake system.

Abstract: In a variable stroke-characteristic engine for a vehicle, a control shaft and a control link are disposed on a front side of a vehicle body with respect to a crankshaft. An actuator for driving the control shaft is disposed on an outer surface of an engine block on the front side of the vehicle body. Thus, the actuator projects as much as possible from a position of the engine block toward the front side of the vehicle body so that traveling wind from ahead of the vehicle is effectively applied to the actuator to enhance the cooling effect. Hence, any temperature increase of the actuator is suppressed. Moreover, the actuator is disposed as far as possible from an exhaust manifold that is heated to a high temperature by the heat of an exhaust gas.

Abstract: A reflecting member having roughness is formed on a surface above a substrate and transferred onto a film with an adhesive layer interposed therebetween. For example, a removable organic insulating layer having roughness on a surface thereof is formed above a glass substrate, and then a metal layer is formed on the rough surface of the organic insulating layer, thus forming a reflecting member. The reflecting member is then transferred onto the film with and adhesive layer interposed therebetween.
