Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) for a text search
system includes text entry fields and menus of operators
from which a search query is composed. The actual search
query submitted to a search engine is a single string of
text and operators arranged in accordance with the search
syntax in use. The actual search query is also displayed
on the GUI and permits a user to learn how the system
interprets the entries in the fields and selections from
the menus as they are entered or changed. The displayed
search query is also editable and changes in the overall
search query are reflected back into the text entry
fields and operators from which it was composed. Thus a
user can compose a search query using either form fill
out or text editing.

Abstract: When a pressure contact terminal fitting 20 is
correctly inserted, a protruding member 26 makes contact
with a receiving member 16 to resist a pressing-in force
applying on the posterior end of the terminal fitting 20.
Since the receiving member 16 and the protruding member 26
are located approximately in the centre along the lengthwise
direction of the terminal fitting 20, the terminal fitting
is less likely to buckle than the case where the fitting
force is resisted by the anterior end of the terminal
fitting.

Abstract: An advantage of the present invention is the provision of a friction material having a
porous structure and a large static coefficient of friction, that is made to have a porous
structure so as to improve heat resistance but which does not exhibit time-varying
characteristics in friction at the beginning of engagement. 
     A friction material 12 is provided on the surface thereof with small holes 16 each
of which is 0.02 mm 2  to 0.2 mm 2  in size and whose area ratio to the whole surface area of
the friction material 12 is not less than 5% and whose ratio of depth to the thickness of the
friction material 12 is not less than 20% and holds oil in the small holes 16. 
     Even if the friction material 12 is made to have a porous structure, an oil film is
always formed on a friction sliding surface by the oil held in the small holes 16 to reduce a
shearing force produced when an associated plate shears the oil film, thereby preventing an
increase in the dynamic-coefficient of friction, which can prevent a speed change shock.
