Abstract: A partition plate (cast-in object plate member) is preliminarily set in an intake-port forming sand core, by which an intake port of a cylinder head is molded, and cast in during cast molding of the cylinder head for partitioning the intake port. The partition plate has both distal ends, spaced apart in a longitudinal direction, one of which corresponds to an intake-side distal end at which an acute-angled end face is formed to induce core breaking in a port core at an area closer to the intake-side distal end.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide the function for displaying the configuration of storages not in a form peculiar to a storage system but in a more general purpose system. The present invention provides a method and system for displaying the configuration of a storage network, wherein each piece of apparatus constituting the storage network is connected to a control network different from the storage network connecting the pieces of apparatus to one another, and configuration information about each piece of apparatus is acquired using the control network, and a screen for displaying the configuration of the storage network is generated and displayed based on the acquired configuration information.

Abstract: An electrophotographic toner is prepared by using a binder resin having an acid value of 5 to 15 mgKOH/g, a salicylic metal complex, a colorant, and a releasing agent. In the preparation determination for the third root distribution of a light emission voltage by helium atmospheric pressure microwave induction plasmas for carbon atoms derived from the binder resin and metal atoms derived from the salicylic metal complex is made based on a value measured by a micro-particle measuring apparatus including a normal pressure or atmospheric pressure space, a capillary tube inserted at one end in the space, a microwave source, a cavity, a quartz tubular reactor, a discharge means, an analyses means, and a signal detection portion. The absolute deviation showing the scattering of approximate straight lines approximated by a least squares method is controlled to be 0.08 or less.

Abstract: An anastomosis member has a generally cylindrical body comprising a plate member to be brought into contact with first and second blood vessels. The plate member is arranged in contact with the first and the second blood vessels at an anastomosed site where the first and the second blood vessels are anastomosed to each other. The plate member is provided with a plurality of protrusions formed on at least one of opposite surfaces thereof. The protrusions are engaged with at least one of the first and the second blood vessels to avoid the dislocation of the first and the second blood vessels at the anastomosed site.

Abstract: In a differential output circuit, a second amplifier has a positive terminal connected to a second fixed potential and a negative terminal to a fifth switch at a first terminal. First and second switches are connected at a point connected to the fifth switch at a second terminal and to a first load. Third and fourth switches are connected at a point connected to the fifth switch at a third terminal and to a second load. The second terminal is connected to the first terminal when the second and third switches turn on. The third terminal is connected to the first terminal when the first and fourth switches turn on.

Each of the pieces of structural facing 2 is constituted of a heat-insulating sound-insulating core material 3 coated on both sides thereof with an outer panel 5 and an inner panel 6 both made of a steel sheet and connected to the framework of a building 1 and concatenated with adjoining pieces of facing 2.

Abstract: A toner is provided with which the image formed by the use of an image-forming apparatus for electrophotography may keep a good and uniform image density for a long period of time from the initial stage of image formation. The toner contains a toner base particle containing at least a colorant and a binder resin, silica having an average particle size of 40 nm or larger and 200 nm or smaller, and an aluminum oxide-silicon dioxide mixed oxide having an average particle size of 5 nm or larger and 25 nm or smaller. The silica and the aluminum oxide-silicon dioxide mixed oxide are externally added to the toner base particle.

Abstract: A washing apparatus for an endoscope includes a wire brush, a region for housing the wire brush and a driver adapted to advance and retract the wire brush. The wire brush is received in a pipe section of the wire housing region so that the wire brush may be selectively advanced out or retracted in this pipe section which is, in turn, provided along its front end portion and a rear end portion with position sensors to detect a position of a wire component of the wire brush.

Abstract: In a fluid passage structure of an internal combustion engine wherein oil flows from an in-block flow passage formed in a cylinder block to an in-head flow passage formed in a cylinder head, a groove that is generally rectangular in cross section is so formed in a top face of the cylinder block as to extend from a position corresponding to an opening of the in-block flow passage formed in the top face to a position corresponding to an opening of the in-head flow passage formed in a bottom face of the cylinder head, by machining or the like. Thus, a flow passage arrangement in which the openings of the flow passages are offset from each other is allowed. As a result, the degree of freedom in designing the fluid passage structure is enhanced.

Abstract: A stratified scavenging carburetor with a lost motion coupling permits limited relative movement of a throttle valve relative to an air valve so that initial opening of the throttle valve off idle does not open the air valve to avoid diluting with scavenging air the fuel and air mixture delivered to an engine. Rotation of the throttle valve beyond a predetermined amount from idle causes a corresponding opening of the air valve to provide scavenging air to the engine. Closing a choke valve engages a lock lever with the throttle valve to move the throttle valve off idle to a start position without opening the air valve. In another embodiment, closing the choke valve prevents the air valve from opening even if the throttle valve is moved beyond where the throttle valve would cause the air valve to open if the choke valve were open. Thus, a richer than normal fuel and air mixture can be supplied to the engine during a choke-assisted start and warm-up of the engine.

Abstract: An idle fuel supply device for a carburetor has an idle air passage that communicates with an air intake passage and a fuel chamber. A passage extending from a fuel metering chamber is connected to the fuel chamber preferably via a fuel adjusting needle valve. A low speed fuel nozzle hole communicates the fuel chamber with the air intake passage in the vicinity of a throttle valve when in its idle position. A passage communicates with the fuel chamber and the idle air passage, so that fuel and air may mix in at least a portion of the idle air passage.
