Abstract: A network device includes a network protocol controller and a device controller. The device controller controls a plurality of service devices including a first device, and a second device of different type from the first device. The network protocol controller and the device controller are connected by a packetized logical channel for the first device. The network protocol controller, upon having received a message in the network plug-and-play protocol and destined for the second device, transfers the content of the message body of the received message to the device controller, using the logical channel for the first device.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hard capsule filled with a solution containing an active ingredient, characterized in that the solution contains an inorganic chloride and has a water content (w) of 10<w?80% and a water activity (a) of 0.50?a?0.90, and that the capsule is made of a base material containing a cellulose derivative. According to the present invention, a solution having high water content can be encapsulated, with its solution form being maintained. Thus, the present invention enables provision of a product which does not impair properties and stability of a drug or a similar substance, and does not impair sensation upon intake or eating sensation.

Abstract: This invention relates to a liquid preparation containing a solution, which has a water content of from 10 to 80%, and an active ingredient coated with a coating material comprising a water-soluble cellulose derivative. The liquid preparation can stably retain the water-unstable active ingredient in it and at the same time, can mask its unpleasant taste and/or smell, and is usable as drug, quasi-drug, cosmetic, food or the like.

Abstract: An output device comprising: a first unit that receives a request for an output service via a network; a second unit that receives a data processing service required for providing the requested output service via the network; and a third unit that provides the requested output service in a directly perceptible form based on data provided by the data processing service.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hard capsule filled with a solution containing an active ingredient, wherein the shell of the capsule is made of a material containing a cellulose derivative, and the solution has a water content (w) of 10%<w?50%, and a water activity (a) of 0.60?a?0.90. The present invention provides a hard capsule which can hold an active-ingredient-containing solution of high water content, without impairing drug properties and stability, and sensation upon intake or eating sensation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid preparation containing crude drug extracts in an amount of 5 to 50 w/v % in terms of a dry extract weight based on the whole amount of the liquid preparation, characterized by containing saccharides in an amount of 5 to 40 w/v % based on the whole amount of the liquid preparation and adjusting a pH to 4.5 to 5.5.

Abstract: A hydraulic passage structure of an automatic transmission having at least one friction element for gearshift, the friction element being comprised of a drum. The hydraulic passage structure is comprised of a housing, a sleeve, a center member joined integrally with the drum of the friction element, a radial passage in the housing, a sleeve passage in the sleeve, and a center member passage in the center member. The sleeve is fitted into an inner circumference of the housing, and the center member is inserted in an inner circumference of the sleeve. The sleeve passage connects with the radial passage of the housing, and the center member connects the sleeve passage and the friction element. Line pressure is supplied to the friction element via and in order of the radial passage, the sleeve passage, and the center member passage.

Abstract: A method of assembly for a planetary gear train wherein long front gears of stepped long pinions are applied with markings on the end surfaces of tooth forms, the middle grooves of the second and third stepped long pinions are respectively provided with an assembling pin hole in the position at an angle 180 degrees opposite to said markings, and the long rear gear of the first stepped long pinion is provided with a spot facing on the end surface corresponding to the marking, the process comprising preparing an assembling jig composed of carrier-fixing plates at an angular interval of 120 degrees on the center of a boss portion, a spot-facing plate provided in the direction rotated 15 degrees on the center of the support shaft located between said carrier-fixing plates, and control pins supported on pedestals; assembling the stepped long pinions by inserting the control pins into assembling pin holes so that the markings on the second and third stepped long pinions are pointing to the same direction as that of

Abstract: A cover body formed with AC2B is fixed to a casing of an automatic transmission and has a hole in the shaft center thereof. The cover body is subjected over the surface of the hole to a solution heat treatment at 500 centigrade degree for 3 hours and is tempered at 180 centigrade degree fo 4 hours to acquire hardness of 90 HB of more. An iron stator shaft for supporting a stator of a torque converter is pressed into the hole in the cover body.Since the plastic deformation of the hole part of the cover body is reduced, the interference between the stator shaft and the cover body is ensured, and the stator shaft is prevented from being displaced axially even at a high temperature.

Abstract: A process is described for the selective decomposition of aromatic primary hydroperoxides by contacting a hydroperoxide mixture containing aromatic primary hydroperoxides and aromatic tertiary hydroperoxides obtained by oxidation of alkylaromatic compounds under non-aqueous conditions with an alkali and an organic aromatic carboxylic acid salt.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for the production of cresols, including the steps of: (a) conducting oxygenation of cymene with oxygen gas or an oxygen-containing gas, thereby obtaining a solution of oxygenation products containing tertiary and primary hydroperoxides of cymene; (b) reacting the solution of oxygenation products obtained in the step (a) with an organic quaternary ammonium salt and an alkali, or with an organic quaternary ammonium hydroxide, thereby decreasing the content of primary hydroperoxide; (c) subjecting the reaction mixture in the step (b) to decomposition in the presence of a catalyst; and (d) subjecting the decomposition mixture in the step (c) to hydrogenation, thereby obtaining the desired cresols.
