Abstract: An exhaust manifold is constructed of material varying in thickness. Auxiliary cooling, such as from an air flow, to a portion of the exhaust manifold, permits making this portion thinner than a portion shielded from the auxiliary cooling. This lowers the heat capacity of the thinner material, allowing the exhaust manifold to heat rapidly to the activation temperature of a catalyst. Thus, the catalyst is capable of removing harmful elements from the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine more quickly, thereby reducing pollution to the atmosphere. Furthermore, an exhaust manifold having this structure is lighter and requires less material than conventional exhaust manifolds, thereby making production easier and less costly.

The resin composition of the present invention has high performance in application to, for instance, an inorganic base material such as a plastic plate, e.g., an acrylic plate and glass, and has excellent cold curing properties, possesses high de-staining ability and excellent adhesive properties, and further can form a smooth and transparent coating film.

Abstract: A series of resonators are affixed to a vehicle engine air intake pipe path to provide muffling of air intake noises. An air intake port, facing toward the front of the vehicle, has a midsection bent back on itself. A connection opening is provided on the bent-back part. A pipe-form resonator, having a closed-off tip, is bent back on itself in roughly a U-shape at its midsection. A base end of the resonator is joined to the connection opening of the air intake port. This resonator makes it possible to muffle intake sound of frequencies that heretofore could not be absorbed by other affixed resonators.

Abstract: A shredded tobacco supplying apparatus for a cigarette manufacturing machine has a running speed sensor for detecting the belt running speed of a belt conveyor for conveying shredded tobacco, a blow fan for producing an air flow in a shredded tobacco supply passage extending toward the belt conveyor, and a main controller for driving the blow fan in accordance with the output of the running speed sensor. When the blow fan is driven, air is blown from the blow fan into the supply passage at a blowing velocity matching the belt running speed, by which air flow is produced. The shredded tobacco supplied to the supply passage is delivered to the conveyor belt by the air flow. At this time, a velocity component in the belt running direction, which is substantially equal to the belt running speed, is given to the shredded tobacco.

Abstract: A guidance system for an unmanned transporting vehicle which runs along a guide track. The guide track is composed of a belt-shaped light reflective material and laid out on a floor or the like. The unmanned transporting vehicle has two rows of photodetectors longitudinally arranged thereon forwardly of the front wheel. Since the two rows of the photodetectors are spaced apart from each other with a distance less than the width of the guide track, increasingly forwardly photodetectors begin failing to detecting the guide track earlier when the vehicle runs off the guide track. The vehicle is equipped with control means for controlling the steering mechansim of the vehicle in response to the detection count value such that the front wheel is swivelled to correct the vehicle deviation at a sufficiently early stage.
