Abstract: A gas manifold allows each distribution chamber to be fed with fuel gas at an appropriate flow rate irrespective of an increase in the number of distribution chambers included in the gas manifold. Fuel gas flowing through in an inlet is distributed to a plurality of distribution chambers through a main channel. A bypass channel parallel with the main channel also feeds fuel gas to a maximum distribution chamber. This can prevent the feeding of the fuel gas to the maximum distribution chamber from being affected by and reduced by the feeding of the fuel gas to the bypassed distribution chambers. This also prevent the feeding of the fuel gas to the other distribution chambers from being affected by and reduced by the feeding of the fuel gas to the maximum distribution chamber. The plurality of distribution chambers are thus fed with fuel gas at appropriate flow rates.

Abstract: A method for determining candidates for a person who is to handle a failure upon occurrence of a failure as call-target persons and calling the call-target persons via the Internet is provided. The method is a method which is to be executed by a server, for supporting calling of call-target persons within a list in which candidates for a person who is to handle a failure are defined as call-target persons, upon occurrence of a failure, and includes a step of calling a client of a call-target person selected from the list via the Internet, and a step of receiving a response result indicating a result of operation in response to the calling from the client of the selected call-target person.

Abstract: A gas manifold allows each distribution chamber to be fed with fuel gas at an appropriate flow rate irrespective of an increase in the number of distribution chambers included in the gas manifold. A gas manifold distributes fuel gas flowing in through an inlet to a plurality of distribution chambers through a main channel. The main channel includes a flow guide that guides the fuel gas toward a maximum distribution chamber and reduces the fuel gas flowing into other distribution chambers. This allows fuel gas at a sufficient flow rate to be fed more easily to the maximum distribution chamber than to the other distribution chambers for a larger number of distribution chambers included in the gas manifold, allowing the plurality of distribution chambers to be fed with fuel gas at appropriate flow rates.

Abstract: A process for the production of a black coloring material characterised by treating a compound selected from finely powdered sugar, protein and a polyamide polymer, having amino groups with a naphthoquinone derivative represented by the general formula (1): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, or a group represented by the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.2 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, R.sub.3 represents an alkyl group, an alkenyl group or a hydroxylalkyl group, and n represents 1 or 2; cosmetics comprising a black coloring material produced by the above process; and a process for staining a substrate using the obtained black coloring material.

Abstract: A novel black coloring material is obtained by treating a chitosan with a dyestuff of the lithospermum root. If a water-insoluble chitosan is used as the chitosan, a finely divided black coloring material is obtained, and if a gelatinous chitosan salt is used as the chitosan, a gelatinous black coloring material is obtained. If a water-soluble chitosan, chitosan oligosaccharide or D-glucosamine, or a salt thereof is used as the chitosan, a liquid black coloring material is obtained. If a powdery polymeric substance is treated with such a black coloring material, a polymer-based black coloring material is obtained, and if a fiber is dyed with such a black coloring material, the fiber is dyed to a black color having a low lightness.
