Abstract: An oil ring (1) includes an oil ring body (10) and a coil expander (20). The oil ring body (10) includes a pair of rail portions (12) each including an end portion of an outer periphery having a land (30) formed protruding radially outward from each rail portion (12). The land (30) includes an upper axial portion (31) and a lower axial portion (32) facing opposite to each other in an axial direction, a tapered portion (33) having one axial end contiguous to the upper axial portion (31) via a first curved portion (35), and a protruding portion (34) having one of axial ends contiguous to the tapered portion (33) and the other axial end contiguous to the lower axial portion (32) via a second curved portion (36). The protruding portion (34) is protruding in a direction perpendicular to the tapered portion (33).

Abstract: A chemically modified water-soluble elastin that is obtained by subjecting to N-acylating some or all of the primary amines and secondary amines contained in the molecule of a high molecular weight water-soluble elastin and coupling some or all of the carboxyl groups contained in the molecule with the amino group of an amino acid alkyl ester. A chemically modified water-soluble elastin/collagen mixed gel obtained by mixing a collagen with a chemically modified water-soluble elastin that is obtained by subjecting to N-acylating some or all of the primary amines and secondary amines contained in the molecule of a high molecular weight water-soluble elastin and coupling some or all of the carboxyl groups contained in the molecule with the amino group of an amino acid alkyl ester.

Abstract: Turbine casings LP1, PL2 and HP are secured to storing spaces S1 to S3 formed in a concrete frame 12. Cubic blocks 16, 40 and 80 are secured to depressions C2, C3 and C1 respectively. The cubic block 16 has transverse anchors 20a and 20b projecting upward from an upper wall 18. A bearing housing 35 for supporting a rotor shaft 34 rotatably is positioned and secured by transverse anchors 22a and 22b in a direction perpendicular to a rotor shaft (a direction of an arrow a).

Abstract: Thermal throttling control to safely throttle clocks OFF and ON in an integrated circuit. Digital thermal throttling control is provided to gradually throttle a clock's frequency from ON to OFF and from OFF to ON. The gradual throttling can minimize an instantaneous current rise that would otherwise occur with a rapid shut OFF and a rapid turn ON of a clock. Included are methods and apparatus for digital thermal throttle control in an integrated circuit.

Abstract: In forming a donut-like headrest under a foaming process, a sealing garnish element is provided, which includes a garnish portion and an edge abutment portion. Prior to a foaming step, the sealing garnish element is brought to a donut-like trim cover assembly and inserted fit in an annular opening formed in the annular inward wall region of the trim cover assembly, such that the edge portions of the annular opening are abutted against the edge abutment portion of sealing garnish element, while the garnish portion is attached on and along the annular inward wall region of trim cover assembly. Hence, during the foaming step, those edge abutment and garnish portions of sealing garnish element effectively prevents a liquid foaming base material injected in the trim cover assembly, against leakage from the annular opening.

Abstract: An improved vehicle seat comprising a cushion member formed of foam material is disclosed which is provided with a frame-like shape-retaining member of a wire material embedded within the cushion member. The shape-retaining member includes a buttocks support element to which a peripheral element is pivotably connected for up and down rotation with respect to the buttocks support section to provide a continuous top sitting surface for the buttocks support element and the movable peripheral support sections.
