Abstract: An information sharing system including a plurality of on-vehicle diagnosis terminals and one or more of display terminals sharing diagnostic information over wireless communication. The respective terminals store, in a storing unit, data sets, also stored in another terminal with which communication was established, and a stored clock time. The terminals include a communication-establishing unit that includes a searching unit and an establishing unit. The searching unit is configured to search an planned-connection terminal capable of establishing communication with the terminal, and that does not yet have a stored clock time, or the stored clock time that is stored in the on-vehicle diagnosis terminal and from which a predetermined time has passed, and the establishing unit is configured to establish communication with the planned-connection terminal.

Abstract: An information sharing system (1) including a plurality of on-vehicle diagnosis terminals (10) and one or a plurality of display terminals (20) and sharing diagnostic information over wireless communication. The terminals (10, 20) include a first determination unit S7, S8 and a second determination unit S34, S35 configured to determine whether or not predetermined times T1, T2 have passed from stored clock times C1, C2 at which data sets DS are acquired from the any of the other terminals (10, 20). When the predetermined times have passed, new data sets DS are acquired and the storing into an other-vehicle data storing unit 15B and a data storing unit 25A is performed. When the predetermined times have not passed, new wireless communication is established with communication units (13, 23) of the terminals (10, 20) capable of establishing wireless communication.

Abstract: A gas sensor has a sensor cell unit which includes a detection member made up of an oxygen concentration cell, oxygen pump cell and a spacer interposed between the oxygen concentration cell and the oxygen pump cell to define therebetween a measurement gas chamber. The spacer has a pair of communicating holes for providing communication between the measurement gas chamber and the outside. Diffusion control layers made of porous material are formed within the communicating holes of the spacer so as to control flow of the detection gas into the measurement gas chamber, etc. The diffusion control layer is made of alumina and has on the outer surface thereof (i.e.

Abstract: A glaze composition suitable for a thin chip substrate, for example. The glaze composition makes a low-temperature glazing possible and is superior in the electrical and chemical stability. The glaze composition can prevent even a thin substrate from warping and can easily form an extensive smooth glaze layer without deteriorating a thin glaze face. The components of the composition are 20% to 50% by weight of boron oxide, 5% to 35% by weight of aluminum oxide, and 15% to 55% by weight of at least one alkaline-earth oxide selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide, strontium oxide, magnesium oxide and barium oxide.

Abstract: A biologically active ceramic suitable as a substitute for hard tissues in a living body is disclosed, comprising a dense calcium phosphate ceramic body having formed thereon a surface layer mainly comprising at least one of hydroxyapatite and calcium tertiary .beta.-phosphate and having a surface roughness of from 10 to 1000 .mu.m. The surface layer is formed by forming a calcium phosphate coating containing hydroxyapatite and a phosphate or phosphate-containing glass capable of reacting with hydroxyapatite to form calcium tertiary phosphate on a calcium phosphate molded article or a sintered body thereof and calcining the calcium phosphate molded or sintered body with the calcium phosphate coating at a temperature of from 700.degree. to 1350.degree. C. to allow a part or the whole of the hydroxyapatite to react to form calcium tertiary .beta.-phosphate. The ceramic has improved bioaffinity and sufficient mechanical strength, and can be integrated into hard tissues in a reduced period of time.
