Abstract: A cylinder bore (4) of a two-stroke internal combustion engine (1) has first scavenging ports (12) and second scavenging ports (13) inside. The first scavenging ports (12) are nearer to an exhaust port (11) of the engine (1) than the second scavenging ports (13). In each scavenging stroke, the second scavenging ports (13) are opened earlier than the first scavenging ports (12) and introduce fuel-free air (A) from the second scavenging ports (13) into a combustion chamber (6). The first scavenging ports (12) are opened later and introduce an air-fuel mixture (M) pre-compressed in a crank chamber (8) into the same combustion chamber (6). Thus, harmful substances contained in exhaust gas discharged from the engine (1) are reduced.

Abstract: A garment made of a reversible electromagnetic wave shielding knitted material comprising a conductive fiber yarn and an elastic fiber yarn interknitted with each other as a surface side and a natural fiber yarn as a back side, wherein the proportion of the elastic fiber yarn is greater than 0 but not greater than 2/3 of the total amount of the conductive fiber yarn and the elastic fiber yarn interknitted with each other, the conductive fiber yarn is a silver-plated nylon yarn having a denier (d) of about 70 to about 210, the natural fiber yarn is a cotton yarn having a count of 30 to 150, and the material has a KES hand value (G-soft) of at least 6 and an electromagnetic wave shielding capability of at least 20 dB.

Abstract: The invention provides innerwear with a structure in which the body fabric and the hem are joined together without sewing and which has outstanding effects in discrimination as products and in showing individuality for users. The innerwear includes a body fabric 2 made of a cylindrical double material with a body size and a hem 3 disposed at the end of the body fabric 2 and having apparently different texture therefrom, the body fabric 2 and the hem 3 being joined to each other without sewing. The body fabric 2 partly has a heterogeneously knitted part 5 with different functions, appearance, and texture therefrom by differentiating the way of knitting in the consecutive knitting process.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of erase information each showing whether or not to erase data for each of a plurality of divided areas into which the hard disk is divided, group erase information showing groups grouping the erase information, and erase count information determined based on the group erase information. Based on the erase count information whether or not there is a divided area to erase, the divided area is erased.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus is provided that has a first and a second display units; and a control unit which controls display contents of the first and the second display units respectively. The control unit displays, on the second display unit, status information as well as an operation key associated with the display contents displayed on the first display unit. The control unit changes the display contents displayed on the first display unit in response to an input with the operation key.

Abstract: An optical glass suitable for high-precision lenses moldable at a low temperature, and having a transformation temperature (Tg) of 340° C.-430° C. and excellent chemical durability, is provided by compositions that include Na2O, ZnO, P2O5, and Sb2O3, and optionally include K2O, CaO, BaO, SrO, and MgO—each within a specified wt % range.

Abstract: An image forming system is disclosed which can prevent toner stain adhered onto an image bearing member at the time of switching from one developing unit to another from adhering to an image area on an intermediate transfer member and which can thereby prevent the deterioration of image quality. Latent images formed on a photoreceptor drum are developed by developing units in a revolver developing unit, toner images thus formed are primarily transferred in an overlapped state onto an intermediate transfer belt in a primary transfer section, and the thus primarily transferred toner images are together transferred secondarily onto a transfer paper. In this image forming system, a revolving operation of the revolver developing unit is controlled so that an area on the photoreceptor drum with which a developer contained in a Bk developing unit comes into contact upon 22.

Abstract: Level detectors detect levels of digital audio signals of individual channels. A controller predicts whether or not an overflow will take place corresponding to detected signals. When the controller predicts an occurrence of an overflow, attenuators attenuate a signal level of at least one channel. In addition, when variable length delaying devices vary the phases of signals, an overflow can be prevented.

Abstract: A method of producing, in a workpiece such as a spiral member of a scroll element, a curved groove for receiving a mechanical seal by using a milling cutter, especially, an end mill. A relative feed in a given direction "A" is provided between the milling cutter and the work, and the milling cutter rotating in a predetermined direction "B" about an axis of rotation thereof is set so that the milling cutter provides an inner side wall of the curved groove with respect to a center of curvature of the curved groove with an up milling in which the direction "B" is directed against the direction "A", and that the milling cutter provides an outer side wall of the curved groove confronting the inner side wall with a down milling in which the direction "B" is directed toward the direction "A", in order to suppress formation of coarse and rough surface on both the inner and outer side wall of the curved groove. Thus, the width of the curved groove can be constantly accurate over an entire length of the groove.
