Abstract: The present invention provides a compound represented by the formula: wherein Q represents a fused heterocyclic group, X and Y are the same or different and each represent an optionally halogenated lower alkyl group, an optionally halogenated lower alkoxy group, etc., or a salt thereof, as well as a herbicide comprising the compound or a salt thereof, which exhibits a significant effect for control of sulfonylurea herbicide-resistant weeds in paddy fields and can reduce the number of active ingredients in a combined preparation and a method of controlling sulfonylurea herbicide-resistant weeds which comprises using the same.

Abstract: Processing delays are prevented even when the number of processes executed to control a recording device increases. The printer-side control unit of a recording device having plural devices includes a drive control unit that drives the device by executing a control job; an operating sequence control unit that creates an operating sequence of specific operations; and a job control unit that creates a control job for the device based on the operating sequence. When the operating sequence control unit creates an operating sequence, the job control unit creates a new control job when a control job used in the operating sequence has not been created, and deletes at least one control job when there is a control job that is not used in the operating sequence.

Abstract: An index cutter (I) forms a thumb index on a sheet. The index cutter (I) includes: a flat plate-shaped first base member (1) having a first blade portion; and a flat plate-shaped second base member (2) rotatable coupled to the first base member (1) and having a second blade portion. When the first base member (1) and the second base member (2) are rotated relatively to each other, a part of the sheet is cut by the first blade portion and the second blade portion.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is disclosed which includes a recording controlling element for controlling recording of first data about a developer developing an information processing program, a first providing element for providing information about the development of the information processing program, a judging element for judging whether the information processing program functions normally after being developed by the developer about whom the first data have been recorded and a second providing element for providing the information processing program if the program is judged to function normally.

Abstract: A compound of the formula: wherein Ar is an optionally substituted aromatic hydrocarbon or aromatic heterocyclic group, R is H, halogen or a group bonded through C, N, O, S or P, W is halogen or a group bonded through C, N, O, S or P, X is H or a group bonded through C, N, O or S, Y is H or a group bonded through C, N, O, S or P, or X and Y together with the adjacent nitrogen atom to Y may form an optionally substituted nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group which may further have N, O, S and/or P, or a salt thereof, a method of production thereof and agrochemicals containing the above compound [I]. The compound [I] and their salts are effective in preventing sanitary or horticultural insect pests and animal and plant parasites and can exert potent insecticidal activities when they are applied to harmed living animals or plants.

Abstract: A sealed ornament of a dried and pressed flower completely sealed by a film having a low melting point in a substantially absolutely dried state and in a state free from air and moisture in order that the dried and pressed flower maintains its gracefulness without discoloring and fading for long periods. The sealed ornament is further secured to a base, and a cover film may be secured externally of the film having a low melting point as necessary. Additionally, the outermost layer may be coated with a coating resin as necessary.

Abstract: In a tire equipped on the tread thereof with a tread pattern consisting of a plurality of kinds of pitches having different pitch lengths and arranged repeatedly, a pneumatic tire characterized in that said pitches having different pitch lengths, which are to be disposed inside the length of one circumference of said tread, are at least four kinds, the number of pitches having the shortest pitch length is one or two, and the pitch ratio .alpha. of the greatest pitch length Pmax to the smallest pitch length Pmin (Pmax/Pmin) is from 1.40 to 1.55; and that the total number of the fundamental periods, each of which is defined as a period from the pitch having the greatest pitch length to a pitch immediately before the next pitch having the greatest pitch length and which is to be disposed inside one circumference of said tread, is at least 6, and the period length ratio .beta. (Tmax/Tmin) of the greatest period length Tmax to the smallest period length Tmin is from 1.20 to 1.80.
