Abstract: A two-stroke engine (4) has a throttle motor (22) for driving a throttle valve (20), a fuel injection device (430) disposed in an intake system (18) including a crank chamber (420), and a control unit (24) controlling the throttle motor (22) and the fuel injection device. The two-stroke engine (4) is designed to achieve an engine rotation speed of 4,500 rpm to 7,000 rpm when the throttle valve (20) is fully open. The two-stroke engine (4) is operated with the throttle full open by the control unit (24), and a battery (8) is charged with electric power generated by a generator (6) using the two-stroke engine.

Abstract: The scavenging passage includes a wall surface that defines an orientation direction of a main scavenging gas flow spouting from the scavenging port to the cylinder chamber. In a boundary portion between the scavenging port and the scavenging passage, a wall surface located on an opposite side of the exhaust port is composed of an inclined surface inclined in a direction further away from the exhaust port than a wall surface of a deep portion of the scavenging passage. The scavenging port includes a rear wall surface located in a portion on the opposite side of the exhaust port. The rear wall surface continues to the inclined surface to extend in the direction away from the exhaust port and generates an incidental scavenging gas flow incidental to the main scavenging gas flow and higher in speed than the main scavenging gas flow.

Abstract: A catalyst-installed muffler includes an expansion chamber (25), and a gas-permeable exhaust gas-purifying catalyst (30), wherein exhaust gas blown out of the exhaust port (10) of an internal combustion engine is introduced into the expansion chamber (25) through the catalyst (30). The catalyst (30) may be cylindrical in configuration. An outer circumferential cross-sectional configuration of the catalyst (30) is made identical with an inner circumferential cross-sectional configuration of the outer end portion (10a) of the exhaust port (10), so that one end portion (exhaust gas introducing side 30a) of the catalyst (30) is enabled to fit in an outer end portion (10a) of the exhaust port (10). According to this muffler, it is made possible to utilize the purifying capacity of the catalyst to a maximum extent.

Abstract: In a hybrid type gas insulation switch gear apparatus, an enclosure includes a cylindrical branched portion branched from a cylindrical body so as to be inclined obliquely upward. An insulating gas is sealed therein. Insulating enclosures are mounted to the enclosure and the cylindrical branched portion, a disconnecting switch is arranged within the enclosure and electrically connected to the bushing. A circuit breaker is arranged within the insulating enclosure and electrically connected in series to the disconnecting switch. A current transformer is arranged on the cylindrical branched portion. A connecting conductor is arranged in between the circuit breaker and the disconnecting switch and an earth switch mounted to the enclosure, and an insulating member for supporting a primary electrode and the bushing conductor on the enclosure.

Abstract: An effortless peeling operation is provided with maintaining the adhesion area required between a display panel and a chassis, which allows a disassembling operation for recycling and a parts replacement operation to be simplified. A plasma display apparatus includes a plurality of double-faced adhesive tapes 50 interposed between and adhering to the back surface of a display panel 1 and a chassis 3 for attaching the chassis 3 to the display panel 1. The double-faced adhesive tape 50 used has an adhesive strength smaller than a peel force produced by strain in a width direction caused by tension in a longitudinal direction, and the tape 50 is pulled in the longitudinal direction for peeling.

Abstract: A rear projection television set is of the construction in which an image light projected from a projection cathode ray tube is reflected by a mirror onto the rear surface of a screen comprising a Fresnel lens and the light passes through the front surface of the screen to be viewed by viewers. The condensing distance of the Fresnel lens is selected to be less than four meters for radii of up to 300(S/40) millimeters of the Fresnel lens when the mirror is positioned relative to the screen such that A.ltoreq.200+(S-40).times.10 millimeters, where S is the diagonal distance of the screen in inches and A is the shortest distance between the mirror and the screen.

Abstract: A thermal transfer color printer provided with a platen roller having elasticity and a surface displaying of low coefficient of friction relative to the recording medium and a transport mechanism which transports the recording medium by force greater than that of the platen roller, in one embodiment or pulls the recording medium from the downstream side of the transport direction while keeping the platen roller freely rotatable in another embodiment.
