Abstract: An absorbent sheet can include a sheet portion defining a plurality of first cuts; a plurality of second cuts intersecting the first cuts; an edge portion provided near an edge of the sheet portion in which the first cuts are not provided; and a reed shape portion having a plurality of loose end aggregation portions; wherein the plurality of loose end aggregation portions are connected at a plurality of the edge portions which face each other across the reed shape portion; wherein the plurality of the second cuts are provided between the first cuts; and wherein a plurality of loose ends are formed by connection of a plurality of the second cuts with a line segment portion between two edge points of the first cut.

Abstract: An oligonucleotide having a nucleotide residue or a nucleoside residue represented by formula (I) {wherein X1 is an oxygen atom or the like, R1 is formula (IIA) (wherein R5A is halogen or the like, and R6A is a hydrogen atom or the like), formula (IVA) (wherein Y3A is a nitrogen atom or the like, and Y4A is CH or the like), or the like, R2 is a hydrogen atom, hydroxy, halogen, or optionally substituted lower alkoxy, and R3 is a hydrogen atom or the like, or formula (VI) (wherein n2 is 1, 2 or 3)} at the 5? end thereof, wherein the nucleotide residue or the nucleoside residue binds to an adjacent nucleotide residue through the oxygen atom at position 3, is provided.

Abstract: An engine valve (6) such as an intake valve or exhaust valve is driven to open or close a corresponding intake or exhaust port by attracting an armature (1) onto one of first and second electromagnets (2, 3) and a position of the armature, viz., the position of the engine valve is measured by a permanent magnet (7) and a Hall effect device (8). An adhesive layer (9) whose hardness is lower than the drive axle (5) is used to attach the permanent magnet (7) onto the drive axle (5).

Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling an internal combustion engine equipped with an evaporative emission control system comprises an electronic control unit configured to be connected to at least an electronically-controlled throttle and an electronic fuel injection system, the control unit comprises a desired air flow rate setting section setting a desired air flow rate on the basis of at least an opening of an accelerator, and a desired fuel-flow quantity setting section setting a desired quantity of fuel flow on the basis of the desired air flow rate and a predetermined air/fuel ratio. A purge gas flow detection section is provided for detecting a purge-air flow rate of purge air flowing through the purge line and a purge fuel-flow quantity of purge fuel vapor flowing through the purge line.

Abstract: In a fuel vapor processor for use with an engine provided with a fuel tank comprising a filler tube which fits on a fuel nozzle for refueling, the presence of leaks of fuel vapor is diagnosed according to a variation of a test pressure has been introduced into a purge passage. If refueling of the fuel tank is being performed during the leak diagnosis, an escape vent for air in the fuel tank is provided by connecting the canister to the atmosphere so that smooth refueling is performed.
