Abstract: A pneumatic tire for a two-wheeled vehicle, including a pair of sidewalls, a tread, a carcass, bead rings embedded in radially inner ends of the pair of sidewalls and stiffeners including tapered rubber fillers. According to the invention, the tire comprises a belt layer between the tread and the carcass. The belt layer consists of at least one ply whose width is at least 0.5 time of a width of the tread. Cords of the ply have a modulus of elasticity of at least 600 kg/mm.sup.2 and are arranged substantially in parallel with an equatorial plane of the tire.The tire according to the invention maintains a hoop effect of the belt layer to sufficiently exhibit characteristics as a radial tire and eliminates an extreme difference in bending rigidity in radial directions over from the tread to the sidewalls to obtain smooth turning of the two wheeled vehicle at a corner.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire for motorcycles is disclosed, which comprises a tread portion defining a maximum width of the tire, a pair of sidewall portions, a pair of bead portions, a carcass of radial or semi-radial structure composed of at least one rubberized cord ply containing organic fiber cords therein, and a belt superimposed about a crown region of the carcass and composed of at least one cord layer containing cords with a modulus of elasticity of at least 600 kgf/mm.sup.2 arranged at an angle of not more than 30.degree. with respect to the equatorial plane of the tire, and has an aspect ratio of not more than 86%.

Abstract: A method for injecting a pulverized fuel into a blast furnace uses a pulverulent fuel injecting burner which is protruded into a blow pipe through a wall thereof near the tuyere of a blast furnace. The burner injects a pulverized fuel into the blast furnace along with a hot blast of air at a temperature higher than 950.degree. C. flowing through the blow pipe. The tip end of the burner is located at a distance L between 100 and 350 mm upstream from the boundary between the tuyere of the blast furnace and the blow pipe. According to one embodiment, the tip of the furnace is tapered by an angle .theta..ltoreq.1400L.sup.2 -1290L+295. According to a second embodiment, the inner diameter B.sub.1 of the blow pipe, and the inner and outer diameters of the burner tip (d and D) are selected such that 0.1.ltoreq.(D/Bi).ltoreq.0.25 and 0.6.ltoreq.(d/D).ltoreq.0.8. According to a third embodiment, the burner tip is removable.
