Abstract: For cooking data provided via a communication network, use track records of the cooking data corresponding with their actual use status are accurately managed. When receiving a request for transmission of cooking data from a terminal (S11), a server transmits the cooking data to the terminal (S12, S13), and at this time receives use history data with a microwave oven for previously transmitted cooking data (S14). The server manages use track records of the cooking data based on use history data received from terminals.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a water supply controlling method of a high-frequency heating apparatus and the high-frequency heating apparatus wherein water supplied to a heating chamber as steam is controlled in the quantity and the quality and power can be saved. To achieve the object, it is judged whether there is the required quantity of water supplied as steam in cooking in a water tank or not and in case it is judged that the water is short, request for replacing water in the water tank is annunciated. Elapsed time since water in the water tank was last replaced is monitored and in case the elapsed time exceeds predetermined time, request for replacing the water is annunciated.

Abstract: For the purpose of making it easy to use contents composed of a plurality of files, provided are the steps of: concatenating a plurality of files constituting contents to form a concatenated file; creating a list including information representing the beginnings of the respective files in the concatenated file and adding the list to the concatenated file; storing the concatenated file to which the list has been added in a server; and downloading the concatenated file from the server via a communication network and storing the downloaded concatenated file on a recording medium.

Abstract: A high pressure fuel pump includes a cylinder having a pressurizing chamber and a plunger inserted into the cylinder. The plunger is axially reciprocated by a lifter to pressurize fuel in the pressurizing chamber. A seal member encompasses a portion of the plunger that is projected from the cylinder. The seal member disconnects a cylinder side space surrounded by the seal member from a lifter side space outside the seal member. The seal member has an annular lip portion that contacts a peripheral surface of the plunger, and the annular lip portion has a pair of lips separated from each other in an axial direction of the plunger. An axial distance between the lips is greater than a stroke of the plunger. As a result, fuel does not enter the lifter side space, and lubricating oil does not enter the cylinder side space.

Abstract: A slider having a thin film magnetic head. The thin film magnetic head has an upper magnetic core, a lower magnetic core and a coil disposed between the upper magnetic core and the lower magnetic core. The upper magnetic core and the lower magnetic core is an electroplated thin film with an average crystal grain size smaller than 500A.

Abstract: A high pressure fuel pump has a plunger that extends through a cylinder and is reciprocally located in a pressurizing chamber. The plunger is reciprocated by a lifter and changes the volume of the pressurizing chamber to pressurize fuel in the pressurizing chamber. A seal member seals the cylinder from the lifter to prevent fuel that leaks from the pressurizing chamber from being mixed with lubricant that lubricates the lifter. A support to which the seal member is attached is formed separately from the cylinder. The support is fixed to the cylinder with the plunger extending through the support.

Abstract: A stratospheric airship capable of substantially and smoothly varying the volume of a buoyant gas is provided so as to allow the airship to stably ascend into the stratosphere and keep a station therein. A stratospheric airship includes a gas envelope defined by a ship hull, the gas envelope being divided by a diaphragm into a buoyant gas compartment containing a buoyant gas and an air compartment containing air, the stratospheric airship being allowed to ascend by varying the volume ratio between the buoyant gas and the air, wherein the periphery of the diaphragm is coupled to the ship hull generally at the midpoint along the vertical dimension thereof, and a central portion of the diaphragm is coupled to a suspension chord whose upper and lower ends are coupled respectively to the upper and lower surfaces of the ship hull. The sloshing phenomenon of the diaphragm is suppressed, whereby the change in the shape thereof is balanced, and thus there is no asymmetric distribution of the buoyant gas.
