  • Patent number: 11988181
    Abstract: A fuel distribution pipe that distributes and supplies fuel supplied from a fuel pipe to a plurality of fuel injection devices includes a pipe member configured to form a storage space for storing the fuel therein, and a connection member inserted into and joined to a tip end portion of the pipe member and having a through hole connected to the storage space. The connection member has an intermediate diameter portion adjacent to the storage space and a small diameter portion disposed on a side opposite to the storage space with respect to the intermediate diameter portion. The intermediate diameter portion has an inner diameter that is larger than an inner diameter of the small diameter portion and smaller than an inner diameter of the pipe member.

  • Patent number: 8406526
    Abstract: A two-dimensional code in which given data is encoded as a two-dimensional image. The two-dimensional code includes as image elements: points each of which is placed at point placement reserved position in a two-dimensional region based on a binary data string uniquely associated with the given data according to a preset binary data string placement condition; and a line connecting each of the points and a connection target point according to a preset connection condition. The two-dimensional code is formed as a two-dimensional image by causing the line connecting the points to have a given width.

  • Patent number: 6388667
    Abstract: An actor management section (110) manages the generation, activation, execution per unit time, sleep, halt, restart and termination of actors (20) to (40) which are instances of a class and are also processes that can be executed in parallel and generates images such as those of a character (42), a stage (44), and an egg (46) which are each represented by these actors. Actors also include sound control actors, storage region management actors, and actor-to-actor communications actors. Each actor is managed on the basis of actor information stored in an actor structure. Details such as member variables and methods for each actor are described in scripts, and scripts, models, and disposition information can be combined and freely modified in real time. The execution code of a script used in common by a plurality of actors is stored in the same storage region. Using a shell, an operator can control actors interactively.

  • Patent number: 4297436
    Abstract: A method for producing a multilayer printing plate comprising image-wise exposing and developing a light-sensitive printing plate material which comprises a support having an oleophilic surface having a hydrophilic metal layer thereon, the hydrophilic metal layer having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer either directly or on at least one subbing layer on the hydrophilic metal layer, to form a silver image resist image corresponding to the image-wise exposure by subjecting the printing plate material to a process including baking, removing the hydrophilic metal layer at non-resist image areas to uncover the oleophilic surface thereunder, and removing the resist image, or a method for producing a multilayer printing plate comprising image-wise exposing and developing a light-sensitive printing plate material which comprises a support having a hydrophilic surface having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer either directly or on at least one subbing layer on the hydrophilic surface to

  • Patent number: 4115118
    Abstract: A process for producing a printing plate comprising imagewise exposing a light-sensitive material comprising a support with a hydrophilic surface and having thereon an unhardened silver halide emulsion layer, developing the imagewise exposed light-sensitive material with a non-tanning developer, fogging the remaining silver halide, developing the fogged remaining silver halide with a tanning developer to thereby simultaneously harden the emulsion layer at the areas developed, and removing the unhardened emulsion layer, whereby an oleophilic tanning relief image is formed.
