Abstract: A disk brake device comprises a brake lever (3A) toward which a tilting
force is applied in opening operation. This brake lever (3A) is formed at its lower
end with an outwardly protruding stopper (58) into which an adjusting bolt (56) is
screwed vertically. A base seat (59) is provided on a base plate (1) immediately
under the stopper (58). A pinion (61) is fitted over an upper end of the adjusting bolt
(56) via a one-way clutch (60) so as to rotate the adjusting bolt (56) only in a
direction of fasting the same downward. A rack (67), which is supported by the
base plate (1), is meshed with the pinion (61) to have a predetermined backlash and
to extend in a direction of swing of the brake levers (3A,3B). This disk brake
device allows to assuredly maintain the brake levers (3A,3B) at equally opened
positions at left and right in a brake releasing condition, even if brake linings
(9A,9B) are worn out and adjustment is made by an automatic lining wear
adjusting unit (53) to automatically decrease the gap caused by wear of the
brake linings (9A,9B).

kann die Datenbitzahl des Datenfeldes je nach der adressierten untergeordneten
Einrichtung verschieden sein. Die von der übergeordneten
Einrichtung losgeschickten Bitfolgen werden unmittelbar in die übergeordnete
Einrichtung rückgelesen, so daß das Auftreten korrupter Bits
in der Bitfolge erkannt und die Übertragung der als korrupt erkannten
Bitfolge an die adressierte untergeordnete Einrichtung unterbunden

Abstract: The suspension apparatus comprises a pair of hydraulic dampers (1) for
mounting between the body and axle of a vehicle, and a pressure regulating cylinder (2)
communicating with piston side oil chambers ( a ) of the hydraulic dampers (1). The
pressure regulating cylinder (2) has a free piston (26) slidably disposed within a cylinder
body (24) and defining a front side chamber (h) and a back side chamber (i). The free
piston (26) contains a partitioning member (27) separating a closed chamber (j) from an
open chamber (k) which communicates with the front side chamber (h). The
partitioning member (27) also has a damping valve (4) which enables communication
between the closed chamber (j) and the open chamber (k) and is connected to a rod body
(29) elastically supported on the cylinder body (24). The front side chamber (h)
communicates with the piston side oil chamber ( a ) of one of the hydraulic dampers (1),
and the closed chamber (j) communicates with the piston side oil chamber ( a ) of the
other hydraulic damper (1) through an axial through-hole (29b) of the rod body (29). 
     Because the cylindrical sliding surfaces of the cylinder body (24) and free piston
(26) do not have steps which vary their diameters along their lengths, the suspension
apparatus is easy to manufacture and experiences reduced wear in use.

Abstract: A method and program product for a distributed system having a
plurality of nodes and a switch network for passing messages between
nodes, each message being sent from a source node to a target node. Each
node is connected to the switch network by an adapter having a count
register for adding the value of the packets in messages received by the
adapter to the value in the count register and a threshold register for

interrupts when the value in the count register is equal to or greater
than the value in the threshold register. The value in the threshold
register may be changed under program control to enable or disable
interrupts.

storage device having a plurality of non-volatile memory
cells formed by cell transistors (CTr1) in which a first
voltage is applied to a word line (WL) through an address
selection circuit (11) and a second voltage lower than the

Abstract: In a slot timing detection method, only data of power
values, of power values at points as the ordinal numbers
of data, which fall within upper N power values in a
decreasing order of power values are stored, and the Nth
data is as a threshold. The thresholds in the slot
intervals are accumulated to obtain a base value. Only
predetermined M data of the data of the power values are
stored in correspondence with point information. When
data corresponding to the points corresponding to the N
data fall within the M data, currently obtained data is
added to the data at each point to generate new data.
When data corresponding to the points corresponding to the
N data fall outside the M data, currently obtained data is
added to the base value to generate new data. New data is
generated by adding the threshold to data, of the M data,
which corresponds to a point where no data falls within
the N data. When the number of generated data is M or
more, only upper M data are stored together with point
information. When slot averaging is performed a
predetermined number of times, the M data is divided by
the predetermined number and the quotient is as an average
value. A slot timing detection circuit, a mobile station,
and a mobile communication system are also disclosed.

When the preceding calculated engine speed is determined to
be lower than a predetermined engine speed, an engine speed
is calculated on the basis of a time required for the crankshaft
to revolve through an angle larger than the predetermined

Abstract: The method involves using a robot (10) model with one or more parameters describing the theoretical spatial position of the robot depending on one or more control parameters. The parameters control the theoretical demanded spatial position of the robot, detecting the actual spatial position in operation using a sensor (K1,K2;50). Dynamic variations using the deviation of the detected actual position from the theoretical demanded position are detected, and the parameter(s) of the model are matched to compensate the dynamic variations. The theoretical spatial demanded position of the robot with the robot controller (100) is controlled according to the matched parameter(s).

lower than barrier ribs (21) on an inner surface of a back plate
substrate (20) and a phosphor layer (22) formed on a rib surface within
a unitary emission unit including a surface of the protrusion, thereby

inner surface of the substrate (10) is opened to a discharge space
directly or through a protective layer, so as to improve power
consumption remarkably. Further, the invention provides a production of
the PDP with superior whiteness by way of controlling a balance of each
color with shape of the respective protrusions. Moreover, an electrode
can be formed easily and precisely on an upper part of the protrusion by
providing a sloped surface for at least one end in a longitudinal
direction of the protrusion. As a result, the invention provides the PDP
that is of lower power consumption, high brightness, high luminous

Abstract: A method of monitoring an individual's interactions, by recording a
value of an interaction parameter of the individual (such as
conversational speech) using a measurement device, storing the value of
the interaction parameter with an associated geographic coordinate, and
generating a report, including the value of the interaction parameter and
the associated geographic coordinate. The report can further include a
timeframe associated with the particular value of the interaction
parameter. The global positioning system (GPS) can be used to provide
the geographic data. The directional orientation (attitude) of the
individual may further be measured and used to facilitate selection of
one or more other subjects as recipients of the communication (i.e., when
the individual is facing one or more of the subjects). Analysis and
report generation is accomplished at a remote facility which supports
multiple measurement devices, so each device sends a unique identifier
which distinguishes the particular measurement device.
