Abstract: A method and system for generating an HTML (hypertext markup language) file including images captured by a digital imaging device, the digital imaging device having a display. A script and it's predefined model are provided to the digital camera. The script is comprised of a set of software program instructions. The digital camera executes the script to display interactive instructions on the display that prompt a user to perform specific operations. In response to the user performing the specific operations, the digital camera automatically updates the interactive instructions, such that the user is guided through a series of related image captures to obtain a series of resulting images. The digital camera then generates an HTML file including the resulting images, wherein the HTML file is formatted in accordance with the predefined model.

Abstract: In an outboard motor including a centrifugal clutch system between the engine crankshaft and the drive shaft and including an exhaust pipe that has an outlet which is submerged under water in an operable state of the outboard motor, the exhaust pipe is provided with an exhaust vent which is positioned above water in an operable state of the outboard motor. Thus, when a reverse rotation takes place in the event of unsuccessful engine start, the exhaust vent allows atmospheric air to flow into the exhaust pipe so as to prevent the internal combustion engine from working as a suction pump and introducing water into the engine cylinder through the exhaust pipe.

Abstract: In a variable propeller for a boat, variable-diameter main blades and stationary subsidiary blades are mounted on a propeller boss in order to provide further enhanced low-speed driving property and high-speed and high-output performance. When the main blades are in closed positions in which the propeller diameter assumes a minimum value, the main and subsidiary blades are axially superposed on each other. When the main blades are in opened positions in which the propeller diameter assumes a maximum value, the main and subsidiary blades are arranged in a relation such that their blade surfaces are substantially in line with each other.

Abstract: In a propeller for a boat, a plurality of stationary blades and a plurality of variable blades are alternately disposed around an outer periphery of a propeller boss. Exhaust passages are formed in the propeller boss to axially pass through the propeller boss at location corresponding to the stationary blades. Despite the provision of the variable blade which is variable in diameter or pitch, the exhaust passage can be formed into a large sectional area in the blade boss without being obstructed by a blade shaft for the variable blade.

Abstract: A plurality of blade shafts spline-connected to bosses of a plurality of propeller blades are rotatably carried on a propeller boss parallel to the axis of the boss, the propeller blades being rotated so as to increase the propeller-diameter D according to an increase in the centrifugal force, and all the blade shafts are mutually connected through a synchronizer including cranks integrally continuously provided on the blade shafts and a single common synchronizing ring. With this arrangement, it is possible to always equally control opening angles of all the propeller blades despite any partial conditional change.

Abstract: A propeller for a boat having a plurality of recesses and a plurality of land portions arranged circumferentially alternately around an outer periphery of a propeller boss which is fitted over and connected to a propeller shaft. A boss of each of propeller blades and each of blade shafts disposed parallel to an axis of the propeller boss to rotatably support such propeller blade are accommodated in each of the recesses, and each of the land portions is provided with an exhaust passage extending axially through the land portion to permit an exhaust outlet in a body of a propelling device to be opened at a rear end face of the propeller boss. Thus, it is possible to discharge an exhaust gas from an engine through the inside of the propeller boss into water.

Abstract: A sleeve 18 spline-fitted in an outer periphery of a propeller shaft 4 is connected to a propeller boss 12 for surrounding the outer periphery of the sleeve by a damper rubber 20 interposed in superposed relation therebetween, and in a recess formed in the outer periphery of the propeller boss 12 so that a bottom surface thereof comes near the outer periphery of the damper rubber 20, propeller blades are rotatably supported on a blade shaft 33 parallel to the propeller shaft 4. With this arrangement, it is possible to provide a compact variable propeller for a boat which can be mounted on a relatively short propeller shaft and which is provided with a torque limiting device.

Abstract: In an optical information recording/reproducing apparatus (2) such that a carriage (7), on which an optical pickup (5) for collectively applying a light beam on a recording medium (11) for information recording and reproduction is mounted, is movable along a movement passage (52) formed in a recessed portion (6) of a deck (4) by a movable mechanism (24) housed in the same recessed portion, cooling air introduced by a cooling device (1) using a fan (43) is blown against the movable mechanism (24) and the blown air is guided toward an exhaust side through a movement passage (52) formed in the vicinity of the movable mechanism (24).

Abstract: An information recording reproducing apparatus adapted to receive a cartridge therein which contains a disc is provided. The cartridge is loaded in the apparatus on a cartridge transfer body which moves horizontally and then vertically. A disc clamp arm is pivotably supported on the cartridge transfer body, and a clamp head disposed at one end of the clamp arm clamps the disc when the cartridge transfer body descends vertically to be positioned on the turn table.

Abstract: A laser hand piece comprises a shank on which is attached the light emitting end of a laser transmission means, a head having a laser light reflecting means and a laser light converging means and a head attachment means for releasably attaching the head to the leading end of the shank. A suitable head is selected from the group comprising heads having an optical means of a different focal length, heads provided with optical means for emitting the laser light in different directions and heads provided with a water supply means and/or air supply means. Therefore, depending upon an affected or diseased part of a body to be treated or operated, a suitable head can be selected and releasably attached to the shank by an operator.
