Abstract: Provided is an air conditioner that suppresses power consumption by discharging resistors for discharging residual charges of a transmission path. An analog switch is previously interposed between two discharging resistors. In sending an AMI signal to two lines of a transmission path, an MCU executes discharge control to cause the analog switch to achieve an OFF state when a high level signal voltage is output, and to cause the analog switch to achieve an ON state when a low level signal voltage is output.

Abstract: A receiving circuit includes a positive-side level judgment circuit, a negative-side level judgment circuit, and a gate circuit, and is configured to receive input of an AMI-coded signal, convert the signal to a binary output signal, and output the same. The positive-side level judgment circuit judges whether the voltage of an input signal is greater or less than a threshold on the positive side. The threshold on the positive side is provided with a hysteresis characteristic by a positive feedback. The negative-side level judgment circuit judges whether the voltage of an input signal is greater or less than a threshold on the negative side. The threshold on the negative side is provided with a hysteresis characteristic by a positive feedback loop. The gate circuit logically combines the outputs of the positive-side and negative-side level judgment circuits so as to generate the output signal.

Abstract: A multilayer metal static cylinder head gasket for establishing a gas/fluid-tight seal between a cylinder head and an engine block includes a pair of functional layers having openings configured to register with a combustion chamber and annular seal beads configured to form a seal about the openings. The gasket further includes a primary compression limiter formed of a separate piece of material from the functional layers. The primary compression limiter extends at least partially about the openings to facilitate inhibiting the seal beads from being fully flattened between the cylinder head and the engine block. The pair of functional layers have nested protrusions forming a secondary compression limiter spaced radially outwardly from the primary compression limiter to further inhibit the seal beads from being fully flattened between the cylinder head and the engine block.

Abstract: An image data is pre-processed in parallel by a pre-processing unit (A) and a pre-processing unit (B) arranged in parallel.

Laser scanning for plural beams of a multi-laser beam is performed in synchronization with the BD signal. Color matching processing or zeronization processing for the multi-laser beam is performed in synchronization with the image processing signal.

Abstract: A method includes heating a thermoplastic sheet to a predetermined temperature, and placing the heated sheet between a male die and a female die. The female die has a grain pattern on an inner surface thereof and a plurality of minute holes extending therethrough. The method further includes closing the male die and the female die to press the sheet against the inner surface of the female die, drawing the sheet to the female die by vacuum pressure through the plurality of minute holes, and thereby the grain pattern on the female die is transferred to the sheet. After that, thermoplastic molten plastic material is injected into a space between the laminate material and the male die, and is cooled down so that the plastic product is formed by integrating the sheet and the injected material.

The half bead is between the full bead and the free edge. The half bead extends in a first axial direction to a plateau portion and the full bead extends in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction to a peak.

Abstract: A multilayer static cylinder head gasket has at least one metal functional layer and a metal distance layer having registered openings. The functional layer has a full bead located radially outwardly from and extending about its opening. The opening in the distance layer is formed in a first portion having a first thickness. A second portion of the distance layer extends radially outwardly from the opening and the first portion, wherein the second portion has a second thickness that is less than the first thickness. A compression limiter is formed in at least one of the functional layer or the distance layer. The compression limiter prevents the full bead from being completely flattened, which in turn maintains the full bead in high sealing pressure against the distance layer relative to the remaining portion of the functional layer and also prevents premature fatigue cracks from forming in the full bead.
