Abstract: A compound superconducting wire comprising a matrix of CuX alloy and a multiplicity of Z.sub.3 X filaments embedded in the matrix in a spaced relationship so as not to come into contact with each other wherein X is Sn or Ga and Z.sub.3 X is Nb.sub.3 Sn or V.sub.3 Ga. In a precursor, therefore, a multiplicity of filaments of a base metal material Z such as Nb are arranged in a Cu base metal metrix concentrically in layers around a center core of a base metal material X such as Sn, in which the spacing between any adjacent filaments arranged in a former boundary region of an .epsilon.-phase bronze layer having a certain radius from the center produced when the precursor is preheat-treated at a temperature of 300.degree. to 600.degree. C. is made larger than the spacing between any adjacent filaments arranged in the other matrix regions.

Abstract: The document processing system which performs a function of storing in a memory data of a bracket input by an input device and positional data of starting and ending points of the bracket located in the document. The document processing system then determines an appropriate size of the bracket based on the positional data stored in the memory so as to properly lay out the bracket in the document. The system then generates and displays the appropriately sized bracket in a position specified by the positional data.

Abstract: In a MOS transistor device, the gate width is effectively enlarged without increasing the occupied area of the transistor by forming a plurality of rectangular grooves in the direction perpendicular to the gate width, and filling in these rectangular grooves with a gate electrode. Since these grooves are formed by anisotropic etching, there is no risk of contaminating the wafer.

Abstract: This invention has its purpose in providing a brake fluid pressure control device which is simply structured but still satisfies a driver's braking feeling and which controls wheel cylinder pressure without using master cylinder pressure.

Abstract: A process for preparing a superconducting wire having improved superconducting characteristics in shortened period of time at a reduced cost, which comprises the steps of forming a plurality of holes in each of Cu base metal plates, stuffing the plates in a supporting container to form a stacked body of the plates with their holes aligned with each other, stuffing a superconductor or a material convertible into a superconductor by a heat treatment into the resulting through-holes of the stacked body, evacuating and sealing the supporting container to form a composite billet, and processing the composite billet in a usual manner to give a superconducting wire.

Abstract: A suspension control system for an automotive vehicle is provided which is operable to control transmission of vibratory energy from a road surface to a vehicle body. This suspension control system includes a variable damping force shock absorber, a vertical speed sensor which detects vertical speed of the vehicle body, a relative displacement speed sensor which detects the relative displacement between the vehicle body and a road wheel, and a damping force control unit which is operable to modify a damping force of the variable damping force shock absorber over a range from preselected maximum to minimum values based on the vertical speed and the relative displacement speed.

Abstract: A shock absorber damping force control system for a vehicle employs at least a high-frequency component included in sprung mass vibration as a factor to control a damping force of a shock absorber. The system provides a lower damping force of the shock absorber with a larger magnitude of the high-frequency component when signs of a sprung mass velocity and a relative velocity between a sprung mass and an unsprung mass coincide with each other. A low-frequency component may also be employed as a factor to control the damping force of the shock absorber. The system provides a lower damping force with a larger ratio of the high-frequency component relative to the low-frequency component when signs of the sprung mass velocity and the relative velocity coincide with each other.
