Abstract: An optical disc drive apparatus includes a reference base. A turntable provided on the reference base operates for receiving an optical disc thereon. An optical pickup head supported by a guide shaft is movable along the guide shaft in a radial direction of the optical disc on the turntable. A movable base supports the guide shaft, and is movably connected to the reference base. The movable base is inclined relative to the reference base at an adjustable inclination angle. A mechanism operates for moving the movable base relative to the reference base and adjusting the inclination angle to correct a tilt of an optical axis of the optical pickup head with respect to an information recording surface of the optical disc on the turntable. A plurality of guide members fixed to the reference base have respective guide surfaces. Guide rollers connected to the guide shaft are in contact with the guide surfaces of the guide members respectively.

Abstract: A cement additive is added to increase flowability of a cement composition and to prevent a slump loss, but those characters are insufficient, or the cement additive becomes ununiform in the cement composition and causes a trouble of the hardening inferiority.Thus, to solve the subjects, the present invention provides a cement additive composed of a crosslinked polymer in which, between main chains having a water-soluble polymer structure of a molecular weight from 500 to 100,000, a bond having as a structural unit at least one group selected from divalent groups as shown in the following formula (I) is formed. ##STR1## ?In the formula (I), R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently denote any one of the following. ##STR2## However, R.sup.1 may not be required in a case of that R.sup.2 is the following. ##STR3## Moreover, R and R' independently denote an alkyl group of carbon number of 1 to 5.

Abstract: An interface unit having a hardware for converting a transfer mode of data is constituted with the logic cell block (1), the discrete block (2) and the wiring cell block (3), and including the configuration block (4) for memorizing plural logic information data for defining each function of the logic cell block and the discrete block, and plural wiring information data for defining function of the wiring cell block.

Abstract: In a system for executing distribution, arrangement and collection of array data between a host processor and plural processor elements, control parameter regarding array data to be transferred and an identification number assigned to each data receiver are set beforehand to a data receiver of each processor element. Data sequentially sent out onto a data bus with synchronization with a strobe signal from the data transmitter of the host processor are fetched selectively according to a data transfer allowance signal generated based on the control parameter and the identification number. The fetched data is written into a memory with a discrete address.

Abstract: A cement additive composed of a crosslinked polymer in which, between main chains having a water-soluble polymer structure of a molecular weight from 500 to 100,000, there is a bond having as a structural unit at least one divalent group having the following formula (I): ##STR1## where R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently denote any one of the following: ##STR2## where R.sup.1 is not required, if R.sup.2 is the following: ##STR3## and where R and R' independently denote an alkyl group of carbon number of 1 to 5.
