Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus including a transmitting and receiving unit configured to transmit and receive ultrasound waves and from a plurality of planes of a subject by an ultrasonic probe, and an image signal generation unit configured to execute image processing on the basis of received signal from the transmitting and receiving unit and to generate image signals for ultrasound images indicating each of the planes, wherein the transmitting and receiving unit or the image signal generation unit as configured to execute transmitting and receiving or image processing with respect to one of the planes in a condition that is different with respect to another of the planes.

Abstract: A transmission control apparatus controls transmission of a packet requesting a name resolution. A determining unit monitors a state of a server that performs the name resolution, and determines whether there is a failure in a first server. A transmission control unit converts, when the determining unit determines that there is a failure in the first server, a destination address set in the packet into a destination address of a second server, and transmits the packet to the second server.

Abstract: A network monitoring program automatically sorts fault producing locations on a network. A memory unit stores a fault location determining table containing events indicative of failures of communications via the network, the events being associated with classified elements which can be causes of faults on the network. A communication situation monitoring unit monitors communication situations with respect to other apparatus on the network. A failure detecting unit detects an event indicative of a failure from a communication situation detected by the communication situation monitoring unit. A fault location determining unit determines an element which is responsible for the event detected by the failure detecting unit by referring to the fault location determining table. A fault information output unit outputs fault information representative of a determined result from the fault location determining unit.

Abstract: A friction material containing a thermosetting resin binder, reinforcing fibers, and a friction modifier are integrally formed with a pressure plate. The friction material has a first layer friction material on a side of a friction surface and a second layer friction material on a side of the pressure plate. A pre-mix containing an elastomer and a cross-linker is blended in the second layer friction material. The premix preferably contains fibers, and the premix preferably contains 10 to 97 vol % of an elastomer blended therewith.

Abstract: A friction material comprising a fibrous reinforcement, a friction modifier, and a binder. An abrasive component of the friction material includes non-fibrous particulate matters having the same material as fibrous matters of rock wool, slag wool, and ceramics including Al2O3—SiO2 as a main component, but the fibrous matters are not contained.

Abstract: An automobile exterior component, having good balance between impact resistance and fluidity and being excellent in coating heat resistance and rigidity, which is prepared by performing urethane coating or melamine coating on a molded article obtained by molding a resin composition which comprises a polyamide resin (A); a grafted polymer (B) prepared by graft polymerizing an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer in the presence of a diene rubber; an unsaturated carboxylic acid-modified copolymer (C) which has a reduced viscosity of 0.2 to 0.5 dl/g and is prepared by polymerizing an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer; a copolymer (D) prepared by polymerizing an aromatic vinyl monomer and a vinyl cyanide monomer; and talc, wherein the amount ratio of (A), (B), (C) and (D) is in a specific range.

Abstract: A friction material comprising a filler, a binder, and a lubricant, wherein a part or the whole of the filler is constituted by molybdenum trioxide. Not only is the friction material improved in anti-cracking property and anti-fading property under high-temperature and high-load conditions, but the friction material can be prevented from deterioration due to ashing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chlorofluorocarbon resistant resin composition characterized by comprising an agglomerated graft polymer (Y) occurring in clusters having a weight average particle diameter of 0.8-2.0 .mu.m as formed from a small particle diameter graft polymer (y) obtained in a grafting degree of 10-40 weight % by polymerizing 60-20 weight % of a monomer mixture comprising 30-45 weight % of a vinyl cyanide compound and 70-55 weight % of an aromatic vinyl compound in the presence of 40-80 weight % of a rubber like polymer having a weight average particle diameter of 0.05-0.2 .mu.m and a copolymer (Z) obtained by polymerizing 35-45 weight % of a vinyl cyanide compound with 65-55 weight % of an aromatic vinyl compound and having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.6-0.9, the rubber like polymer accounting for 15-25 weight % of the total composition. The resin composition of the invention is superior to the conventional resin composition in chlorofluorocarbon resistance.
