Abstract: An engine system in which blow-by gas with a specific gravity less than 1 with reference to air is generatable includes a cylinder block. The cylinder block includes a cylinder and a crank chamber which are arranged in an up/down direction, the crank chamber being positioned below the cylinder. An internal peripheral face of the cylinder block has a ventilation port that connects to a ventilation passage that connects an internal space of the crank chamber with an external space out of the cylinder block, and that is open. The ventilation port is placed above a center in the up/down direction in the crank chamber.

Abstract: Inputs of target values and performance values of the MBA index, the MOS index and the MOS index are accepted, three axes passing through an origin and orthogonal to each other are set, target vectors and performance vectors of the enterprise value based on the respective indices are rendered on three-dimensional coordinates of which the three axes are an MBA axis, an MOT axis and an MOS axis, resources for attaining targets of the respective indices in a second evaluation period are reset based on allocation rates of an allocation table if a divergence between the target value and the performance value in a first evaluation period is large, and reset results are output.

Abstract: A strut mount structure for a vehicle for supporting a strut of a strut-type suspension is disclosed. Since the strut mount structure does not have any protruded portions with respect to a front hood while maintaining equal distance between the strut mount unit and the front hood, it is possible to freely choose the design of the front hood. Furthermore, the strut mount structure with a satisfactory large distance between the strut mount unit and the front hood absorbs impact well when a pedestrian comes into contact with the vehicle on the front hood.

Abstract: The invention provides an information management method comprising the steps of, when connecting a removable storage medium having a program storage area and an information storage area, to an information processing unit on the network; selectively displaying header thumb-nail images corresponding to commercial information such as images, music, voice and documents stored by the storage medium in the information storage area thereof by operating programs stored in the storage medium in the program storage area thereof by the information processing unit; and calling and displaying of corresponding commercial information and/or purchase of information corresponding to the commercial information, and/or purchase of information corresponding to the commercial information, and/or connection to, or registration of, a service provider on the network corresponding to the commercial information, in accordance with selection and instruction of thumbnail images desired by the operator.

Abstract: A dynamic damper is disposed between an upper spring seat and a strut mount, comprising a supporting plate secured to a piston rod of a strut and an annular inertia mass body mounted on the supporting plate through an elastic member. The annular inertia mass body is connected at two edge portions thereof located opposite to each other across the diameter with the supporting plate by a bolt and nut through the elastic member, respectively.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a read-only optical disk comprising an annulus transparent substrate of a synthetic resin having information pits thereon, a reflective layer comprising an Al alloy containing Ta and a protective layer provided thereover. The read-only optical disk according to the present invention is excellent in the corrosion resistance and has a high reliability.

Abstract: An improved rear suspension system for an automotive vehicle of the type including a T-shaped front lower arm and a rear lower arm is disclosed. The rear suspension sytem includes a first pivotal point pivotally supported on a vehicle body via a bush, a second pivotal point pivotally supported on a supply member and a third pivotal point pivotally supported on the vehicle body. The third pivotal point is located inwardly from a line extending through the second pivotal point and an intersection defined by an extension line extending from a center line of the rear lower arm and a central plane of the rear wheel.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an optical recording medium for recording informations by irradiating the optical recording medium with a laser beam to form a hole or a deformed part thereon, said optical recording medium comprising a substrate and a recording layer containing at least Te, Se and F in the amounts of from 35 to 94.9 atomic % of Te, from 5 to 25 atomic % of Se and from 0.1 to 40 atomic % of F, produced by a reactive sputtering, said Se being derived from selenium fluoride and a sputtering target of Te or a sputtering target comprising Te-Se-alloy, and a process for producing the same.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a magneto-optical medium comprising a magnetic layer, a protective layer of a complex oxide containing oxides of aluminum and a base plate.
