Abstract: In an outboard motor control system, equipped with two outboard motors and actuators for steering, changing shift position and regulating engine speed, two navigation units responsive to operations of the operator for producing outputs indicative of actuator operation commands, two ECUs that control the operation of the actuators based on the outputs from the navigation units, an output forwarding ECU which forwards the outputs of one of the navigation units to the ECUs, and two switchover buttons for changing the outputs to be forwarded. Therefore, only the set of outputs for the one navigation unit selected by the operator is sent to the ECUs. In other words, in the case where multiple navigation units are provided, use of the navigation units is limited to a desired one thereof, so that the outboard motors can be stably controlled even when the control inputs to the individual navigation units are different.

Abstract: A method is provided for fitting waterproof seals onto outer peripheries of end portions of electric wires. The method feeds seals along the axis line of the wire and into a seal cavity. A passage forming member forms a feeding passage to feed the seal into the seal cavity with a posture to receive the electric wire. The seal then is locked in the seal cavity. The wire then is moved along the axis line and into the seal.

The plurality of signal lines or the plurality of signal line units is disposed annularly around the resin tubes.

Abstract: QTL analysis on the resistance to Fusarium head blight is performed by using an RI line (RHI population) grown by crossing Russia 6 (two-row, resistant) with H.E.S.4 (six-row, susceptible), an RI line (RI2 population) grown by crossing Harbin 2-row (resistant) with Turkey 6 (susceptible), and a DH line (DHHS population) grown by crossing Haruna Nijo (resistance) with H602 (susceptible). As a result, QTLs are detected on the 2H, 4H and 5H chromosomes in the RHI population, on the 2H, 4H and 6H chromosomes in the RI2 population and on the 2H, 4H and 5H chromosomes in the DHHS population. Furthermore, genetic markers linked to these QTLs (MM314, FM677, FM426, MM1057, MMtgaEatc128, FMgcgEatc 530, FXLRRfor_XLRRrev119, FMacgEcgt288, HVM67, FMataEagc408, HVM11, Bmag125, k04002, k05042, k03289, HvLOX and k00835) are found out.

The projector includes a projection image forming unit which forms an image to be projected to a projection surface and a projecting lens. When photographic information in photographing a projection image and distance information to the projection surface are input, a display control unit controls the focal length of the projecting lens in accordance with the photographic information and switches the size of the image formed by the projection image forming unit at the variable control limit of the focal length.

Abstract: A film for lamination comprising a polyester resin containing a polyfunctional component in an amount of 0.01 to 0.50 mol % and having a melt tension of not smaller than 50 mN. Even when laminated on a metal plate by a high-speed extrusion lamination method, the film can be applied onto the metal plate maintaining a uniform thickness and good adhesiveness without undergoing oscillation or pulsation. Being blended with a copolymerizable component in an amount of 10 to 20 mol %, in particular, the laminated member coated with the film features excellent adhesiveness of the coating. By further laminating a layer of another polyester resin on the above film, the flavor-retaining property can be imparted as well.

Abstract: In fabricating various types of arrays such as a micro array, different kinds of biosubstances, or synthetic substances interacting with the biosubstances, are arranged and immobilized on a support such that the chromosomal order of base sequence blocks, corresponding to the biosubstances, is ascertainable. The biosubstances may be nucleic acids such as DNA, or polypeptides such as protein. The synthetic substances may be compounds that react with the biosubstances. By thus specifying the order of the biosubstances or synthetic substances immobilized on the support, the array can be used, for example, for screening in variety improvement of living organisms.

Abstract: In an air/fuel ratio control system for an outboard motor engine, a learned correction coefficient KTIMn used in open-loop control for correcting a basic fuel injection amount to be supplied to the engine, is updated only when the manifold absolute pressure PBA (indicative of engine load) is within a predetermined range relative to the engine speed NE concerned. As a result, the air/fuel ratio can be accurately controlled to one other than the stoichiometric air/fuel ratio, even when an O2 sensor that produces an output whose property only changes near the stoichiometeic air/fuel ratio is used.
