Abstract: It is an object of the invention is to provide a candy composition in which a sugar alcohol is used as a main raw material and which is comparable in intensity of sweetness and quality of sweetness to sugar as well as a candy manufactured using the same. The above object can be accomplished by providing a deliciously sweet candy composition which comprises sugar alcohol as a main raw material and comprises high sweetness intensity sweetener (E), flavoring components (A) maltol and (B) furaneol as essential components, each in an effective amount, and an effective amount of at least one component selected from among flavoring components (C) cyclotene and (D) menthyl acetate.

Abstract: In an endoscope apparatus, inside an endoscope, color correction processing is performed that performs multiplication between a color correction coefficient that is set based on a plurality of numerical apertures with respect to a plurality of different wavelengths included in a wavelength band of illuminating light of a light guide that is mounted in the endoscope and that transmits light-source light from a light source apparatus, and at least one of B, G and R signals generated by the signal processing apparatus.

Abstract: A closed type capacitor (1) includes: an external container (10) which cuts off gas; a pair of polarized electrodes contained in the external container (10); a separator arranged between the electrodes; and a non-aqueous electrolytic liquid containing electrolyte and a non-aqueous organic solvent if necessary. The external container (10) has an opening (10A) for communication between inside and outside the container and a valve mechanism (13) which is arranged to cover the opening (10A) and which is opened and closed by the pressure difference between the inside and outside the container (10). The electrolyte contains more than 30 mass % of ion liquid. This closed type capacitor can minimize separation of electrolyte in the valve path.

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol based fibers having good fatigue resistance, dipped cords comprising the polyvinyl alcohol based fibers and having good fatigue resistance, and a method for producing the dipped cords. The polyvinyl alcohol based fibers have a tan&dgr; at 90° C. of at least 0.12, substantially one peak of tan&dgr; within a temperature range of from 60 to 120° C., and an elongation at break of at least 12%.

Abstract: The object of this invention is to decrease the ratio of contact faults by way of releasing the physical stress acted on the electric connecting portions. It settles dispersions of positions of the terminals by using elasticity of the bushing (50) with being attached the bushing (50) to the body (21) of coil unit (20), being held to be pierced terminals (23, 23) extended from the coil (22) out the bushing (50). The flexibility of the conductive sheet (40) gets rid of stress acted on the connecting portions with the terminals (23) by being electrically intermediated with the flexible conductive sheet between each terminal (23, 23) of the coil (22) and the controlling board (32) of the electric controlling unit (30).

Abstract: A pressure control device includes a hydraulic unit with a plurality of pressure control valves, a coil unit with a plurality of coils each operating one of the valves, and an electronic controlling unit controlling the coils. Each of the hydraulic unit, the coil unit, and the electronic controlling unit are separately formed. Additional structure is provided to physically and electrically connect the controlling unit and the coil unit.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis which enables an external data setting to set the mechanism of the teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis for conditions that enable the mechanism to operate for motions according to a walking speed. The teaching playback swing-phase-controlled above knee prosthesis includes a structural body having a thigh frame and a leg frame pivotally joined to the thigh frame for swing motion relative to the thigh frame, an air cylinder having a cylinder body, a piston axially slidably fitted in the cylinder body and provided with a valve, and a piston rod having one end fixed to the piston and the other end pivotally joined to the thigh frame, and a stepping motor for adjusting the opening of the valve of the cylinder.

Abstract: An improved failure detection circuit for anti-skid braking systems is disclosed. The failure detection circuit sends electrical test pulses to the individual valves which control the flow of pressurized brake fluid to the individual brakes and uses a feedback signal from these valves to determine a failure in any of these circuits. The failure detection circuit also includes a voltage monitoring circuit which monitors the voltage which is supplied to the anti-skid braking controller while applying an electrical load to the main power circuit for the controller such as by testing a plurality of valves at once. If the voltage drops below a minimum acceptable level, it indicates an actual or incipient failure of the main power supply circuit. This indication can be used to trigger a warning or to shut down the anti-skid braking system as can a detection of a failure in an individual circuit.
