Abstract:
A remote control is equipped with a pushbutton unit including a plurality of transverse linking sections linking pushbuttons in a transverse direction and a bridge section connecting the transverse linking sections at one side. This pushbutton unit is provided by integrally forming a first button group and a second button group respectively including a plurality of pushbuttons in a specified arrangement as a unit on a sheet-form elastic member in such a manner that pushbuttons of one button group are located between pushbuttons of the other button group and by cutting, along a specified cut line, this unit into two pushbutton units including transverse linking sections with pushbuttons linked in the transverse direction and a bridge section that connects the transverse linking sections at one side. Since the portion where any pushbutton of one pushbutton unit is not arranged can be used as the portion where a pushbutton of the other pushbutton unit is arranged in such a configuration, the wasteful use of material can be reduced. In addition, since two pushbutton units can be formed by one molding process, the forming man-hour per pushbutton unit can be reduced.
Abstract:
A combustion variation value is detected, and a function that uses the detected combustion variation value is added to CVAR(i−1) to obtain CVAR(i); and using the resulting value, an exhaust gas recirculation amount and an ignition timing are obtained. A combustion variation is detected, and if the detected combustion variation value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the value of flag is set to be 1, and the exhaust gas recirculation amount and the ignition timing are reset to previous values. If the detected combustion variation value is less than the predetermined value, the value of the flag is set to be zero, and a current combustion variation manipulation correcting amount CVAR(i) is updated. If the value of flag is 1, the process is immediately terminated.
Abstract:
A remote controller for a television having a function of measuring a body fat includes a physical data setting section for registering a physical data including the weight and the height of a user and an impedance measuring circuit for measuring the impedance across the body to determine the body fat of the user. For determining the body fat of a user to be examined, the body fat meter equipped television remote controller registers the physical data including the weight and the height of the user, measures the impedance across the body of the user, and transmits to a television receiver a body fat measurement signal which carries the physical data and the impedance measurement. The television receiver calculates the body fat of the user from the physical data and the impedance measurement carried on the body fat measurement signal and displays a resultant calculation of the body fat on its display provided for displaying images of the existing television broadcasting.
Abstract:
A video signal selecting device for selectively outputting one of a plurality of input video signals to a video display apparatus in accordance with an instruction input is disclosed. The selecting device comprises a selector for selectively outputting one signal of the plural video signals, an OSD control section for displaying symbol information on uniformly colored background indicating that the selective output is executed on a screen of the video display apparatus, and a control circuit section for controlling the selective output of the selector in accordance with the instruction input, and for detecting a change of the instruction input to start up the OSD control section.
Abstract:
A carrier having a BET specific surface area of 0.50 to 2.00 m2 and a dynamic current value of 15 to 170 nA and a two-component developer comprising such a carrier and toner.
Abstract:
An electric apparatus such as a recording apparatus, having a cabinet. The cabinet includes a chassis case and an upper cover, the chassis case having a medium inserting opening in a front surface thereof. The cabinet accommodates therein at least a printed wiring board and a mechanical deck. The printed wiring board mounts thereon electronic parts for system control and the mechanical deck mounts thereon medium and head drive mechanisms, the mechanical deck being arranged at a predetermined position on the board. The upper cover of the cabinet is made of a synthetic resin material.
Abstract:
A fluid dispersal device has a fluid inlet port, a nozzle, a fluid jet passage and an outlet throat provided in a housing and arranged from the upstream side thereof in order. The sidewalls defining the fluid jet passage are composed of deflection walls, turn walls and branch walls arranged in order from the upstream side thereof. The deflection walls are parallel walls symmetric with respect to the center line of said nozzle, each of the turn walls continues from the downstream end of each of the deflection walls and is formed into a rectangular concave wall, the distance between the opposed rectangular concave walls is larger than that between the deflection walls. The branch walls continue from the downstream ends of the turn walls and project in opposite directions. The outlet throat is defined by the oppositely projecting branch walls. The fluid jet jetted from the nozzle is rightward of leftward deflected due to the interaction between the fluid jet and the deflection walls. The deflection fluid jet is branched by the branch walls into two branch flows in accordance with the amount of deflection thereof. One branch flow is dispersed from the outlet throat while the other branch flow flows into one of the turn walls. The turn walls turn the branch flows and make them collide with the deflected fluid jet perpendicularly to push the deflected fluid jet in a direction opposite to the deflecting direction thereof. Thus, the fluid jet is periodically deflected and oscillated within the fluid jet passage and is dispersed from the outlet throat.
Abstract:
A turbine housing includes a first shell member and a third shell member, which are formed from metal sheets and forming a housing body, and a tongue member, which is fixed to inner circumferential surfaces of the shell members and discrete from the shell members. The tongue member defines an inlet port and a scroll compartment in the housing body.
Abstract:
A running-linked sound generation unit includes an order sound data generation unit, a random sound data generation unit, and a synthesis unit. The order sound data generation unit generates order sound data by changing the tone of basic order sound data according to a motor rotation speed of a vehicle. The random sound data generation unit generates random sound data by changing the volume of basic random sound data according to a motor rotation speed and an accelerator command value of a vehicle, without changing the tone of the basic random sound data. The synthesis unit generates synthetic sound data by combining synthesized order sound data and random sound data.
Abstract:
A developing device having a housing that houses two-component developer containing carrier and toner, replenishing replenishment carrier to the housing while gradually ejecting developer to outside from an outlet. The developing device includes: transport passage provided in the housing so that developer is transported therein; transport member provided in the housing and rotates to transport the developer; ejection passage having diverged from the transport passage so that a part of the developer transported in the transport passage is conveyed therein to the outlet; and restriction unit configured to restrict an amount of ejected developer so that a first amount of developer is ejected from the outlet when the transport member rotates at a first speed, and a second amount of developer is ejected when it rotates at a second speed. The second amount is smaller than the first amount. The second speed is higher than the first speed.
