Abstract: Provide is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor exhibiting low specific resistance and low impedance property and realizing high reliability. An electrolytic capacitor has a structure in which: a capacitor element which is formed by rolling an anode foil and a cathode foil each connected with an electrode extraction lead through a separator and which is impregnated with a drive electrolytic solution is included in a cylindrical outer case having a closed-end; and an open end of the outer case is sealed with an elastic sealing body, in which: the drive electrolytic solution contains a tricyanomethide salt represented by the below-indicated chemical formula (1); and the drive electrolytic solution has a water content of 3.0 wt % or less: where, R represents a cation pairing with a tricyanomethide ion in formation of a tricyanomethide salt.

Abstract: A shoe comprises: an upper 7 wrapping an instep; an outsole 3 contact with a floor or a road; a front roll-up portion 32 formed as the outsole 3 is rolled up upward along a front end portion 71 of the upper 7 and fixed to the upper 7; through hole means running through the front end portion 71 and the front roll-up portion 32; and a clamper 1 running through the through hole means to clamp together the upper 7 and the outsole 3 and keep them clamped therein, thus strengthening a fixing strength between the upper 7 and the outsole 3, wherein the clamper 1 is made of a resin and includes: first flange means engaging with the front roll-up portion 32 on a front surface 31 of the front roll-up portion 32; second flange means engaging with the upper 7 on an inner surface of the front end portion of the upper 7; and pipe means connecting the first and second flange means and running through the through hole means for ventilation between an inside and an outside of the shoe.

Abstract: An engine starting system for a power train including an engine and an automatic transmission includes an engine stop/restart controller. The automatic transmission having special mode includes first and second planetary gear sets having respective sun gears, a turbine shaft, an output gear, a forward clutch and a 2-4 brake. The forward clutch sets the automatic transmission in a drive condition when engaged and in a neutral condition when disengaged. If the special mode is selected under conditions where the output gear is locked, the sun gear of the first planetary gear set is locked. During execution of automatic engine stop control operation, the engine stop/restart controller causes the automatic transmission to initiate a transfer to the special mode before fuel supply is interrupted and causes the forward clutch to completely engage at a specific point in time after the automatic transmission has completed the transfer to the special mode.

Abstract: There are provided a driving-state determination device to determine a driving state of a hybrid vehicle, and a driving-source selection device to select a driving source from an engine a first motor generator, and a second motor generator based on determination of the driving-state determination device so as to provide the highest driving efficiency as a whole of the vehicle. Herein, the first and second motor generators are configured so that a high-efficiency driving operation area of the first motor generator is set on a higher-speed side relative to a high-efficiency driving operation area of the second motor generator. Accordingly, there can be provided a control device of a hybrid vehicle that can improve the driving efficiency as a whole of the vehicle properly.

Abstract: In order to obtain a plane lattice hollow concrete slab having a high workability and a high sound insulating property, and a cross arm brace used in the plane lattice hollow concrete slab, the plane lattice hollow concrete slab comprises a light weight body 5 buried in a small space 4 which is partitioned on a grid by upper reinforcing bars 3a and 3b and lower reinforcing bars 2a and 2b positioned on a grid in a slab. The light weight body is a solid-core or a hollow light weight ball body. The light weight body has a diameter which passes through a top surface of the small space and which does not pass through a side surface of the small space. The light weight body is fixed to a predetermined position by a cross arm brace which is positioned on the upper reinforcing bar.

Abstract: A sorting method and apparatus for sorting steel products such as bars, rods, shapes and tubular products which are delivered in a random manner, according to the ordered lengths, sizes and so forth. The steel products are made to stay on a sorting apparatus temporarily. Then, pieces of products of the same class are successively selected and forwarded to a bundling bed from the sorting apparatus, while the latter receives a new piece of steel products. This operation is repeated for successive classes to sort the steel products into a plurality of classes having different ordered lengths, sizes or other sorting condition. The sorting apparatus has a vertically movable sorting roller table and a sorting truck arranged in a side-by-side relation to the sorting roller table and movable in the direction normal to the direction of movement of the steel products.
