Abstract: A dynamo-electric machine comprising: a stator core with plurality of slots, a coil covered with insulated conductor wire, wherein the coil comprising plurality of storages stored in the slots and plurality of coil ends that are outside of the slots, conductor of coil end close to the conductor of the heterophase coil having insulating materials at only one of the surfaces, either the inner diameter surface close to the conductor of the heterophase coil or outer diameter surface of the heterophase coil.

Abstract: The invention seeks to suitably adjust the amount of a toner reduction in accordance with the type of image (object). To attain this object, an image forming apparatus according to the present invention comprises a discrimination unit for discriminating types of objects contained in input data; and a processing unit for applying reduction processing, which suppresses amount of colorant, to a thin line in a graphics if result of discrimination by said discrimination unit is that an object is a graphic; wherein whether reduction processing is to be executed or not can be selected by a user.

Abstract: A data processing apparatus comprises process means for executing a predetermined process based on the input instruction, connection means for connection with an external device, display means for displaying information based on the data received from the external device through the connection means, discrimination means for discriminating whether the input by the instruction input means has not been executed for a predetermined period. Control means causes the display means to execute display based on the data received from the external device through the connection means, in case the discrimination means judges that the input instruction has not been executed for the predetermined period.

Abstract: A method for exterminating termites comprising using an entomopathogenic nematode together with an inset-growth regulator or a slow-acting insecticide, wherein insecticidal effects are reinforced compared with the cases using singly the entomopathogenic nematode and the insect-growth regulator or the slow-acting insecticide, respectively, and a bait station for exterminating termites that contains an entomopathogenic nematode with an insect-growth regulator or a slow-acting insecticide. According to the invention, emission of harmful chemicals to environment can be suppressed. The invention is nonpoisonous for human being and livestock, and is useful for indoor or outdoor extermination of termites.

Abstract: Compounds represented by general formula (I), herbicides or selective herbicides for paddy field containing said compounds as active ingredients, method of controlling growth of undesirable plants by applying the herbicides on places where control is desired. ##STR1## wherein A represents a --S(O)nR.sup.1 in which n is 0 or 2 and R.sup.1 represents a (substituted) lower alkyl; a cycloalkyl; a (substituted) benzyl; a (substituted) phenyl; or a --OR.sup.2 in which R.sup.2 represents a (substituted) phenyl;B represents a halogen, a nitro, a lower alkyl, or a lower alkylsulfonyl;D represents a hydrogen, a lower alkyl, a lower alkoxy, a lower alkoxymethyl, or a lower alkoxycarbonyl;E represents a halogen, a (substituted) lower alkoxy, a lower alkylthio, a (substituted) lower alkylsulfonyl, or a lower alkylsulfonyloxy.The herbicides of the present invention can prevent a wide variety of noxious weeds and further selectively prevent weeds on paddy field with considerably reduced phytotoxicities on rice plant.

Abstract: Triperfluoroalkylamines of the formula: ##STR1## wherein, Rf.sup.1 and Rf.sup.2 are each a perfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and Rf.sup.3 is a perfluoroalkyl group having 3 to 11 carbon atoms, have good thermal stability, good voltage resistance, good fluidity at low temperature and low surface energy and which produce no toxic perfluoroisobutene.

Abstract: A catalytic oxidation apparatus comprising a cylindrical honeycomb structure including a multiplicity of small passageways extending therethrough in parallel and having an oxidizing catalyst deposited thereon, a number of the passageways being separated as a catalyst regenerating zone from the other passageways, the regenerating zone being continuously shiftable throughout the entire honeycomb structure circumferentially thereof to render the honeycomb structure serviceable, from portion to portion, as the regenerating zone provided by the number of passageways.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing moisture and odors comprising a cylindrical honeycomb structure made by corrugation from paper uniformly containing an adsorbent, including a multiplicity of parallel gas passageways and having deposited thereon a water absorbent at least at one side thereof serving as an outlet for the gas to be treated, a number of the gas passageways being separated as a dehumidifying and deodorizing zone from the other passageways serving as a regenerating zone, the dehumidifying and deodorizing zone being continuously shiftable throughout the entire honeycomb structure circumferentially thereof to render the honeycomb structure serviceable, from portion to portion, as the dehumidifying and deodorizing zone provided by the number of passageways.
