Abstract: In a parking lock system, a link member that swings due to sliding of an operating shaft so as to make a perking lock operate and release the operation includes a counterweight for canceling out axial inertial force of the operating shaft. Therefore, even if the operating shaft attempts to slide in an axial direction with respect to a transmission case due to inertial force when a vehicle experiences sudden deceleration due to a frontal collision or sudden braking, mass of the counterweight resists the inertial force to thus prevent the link member from swinging, thereby making it possible to avoid a situation in which the parking lock is operated unintentionally.

Abstract: A hopper for cleaning a coating machine in which a rotary atomizing head extends through an opening in the upper surface of a hopper housing, a thinner for cleaning the rotary atomizing coating machine and a residual coating material are sprayed on the inside, an airstream control member for preventing flow from ascending from the inside of the housing to the outside of the housing through a gap between the coating machine and the opening by the rotation of the rotary atomizing head corresponding to the gap between the coating machine and the opening, and the control member is formed with an air vent hole for supplying air to a negative pressure zone formed just below the rotary atomizing head.

Abstract: Upward whirling of a coating material through a gap between a coating machine and an opening is prevented without using a shaping air upon cleaning a coating machine in a cleaning hopper by supplying a thinner to the coating machine and rotating a rotary atomizing head at a high speed.

Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing crystalline isomaltulose from sucrose, comprising the steps of: 1) contacting an ?-glucosyltransferase enzyme to aqueous sucrose solution or slurry under the condition wherein the ?-glucosyltransferase enzyme is active; in which said condition is maintained after the concentration of isomaltulose in the reaction mixture reaches the point at which crystals are formed, and 2) separating the reaction mixture into crystalline isomaltulose and remaining syrup. According to the present invention, enzymatic conversion of sucrose and crystallization of isomaltulose are carried out simultaneously in a same reaction vessel. In addition, the enzyme can be used repeatedly.
