Abstract: In a drive unit using an electric motor as a driving source, a coolant
circuit for cooling the electric motor is simplified. The drive unit
comprises an electric motor M and a circulation passage L for coolant
for cooling the motor M in a drive unit case. There is provided a
circulation passage F for second coolant different from the circulation
passage L for coolant. A heat exchange portion C with the circulation
passage L for the first coolant in the drive unit case is provided
in the circulation passage F for the second coolant, and the first
coolant for cooling the electric motor is cooled by heat transfer
to the second coolant at one heat exchange portion on the drive unit
case side. Accordingly, the coolant circuit on the drive unit case
side is simplified.

Abstract: A method for inhibiting scale formation in wholly or partly aqueous
systems under stressed conditions characterized by a Langelier Saturation
Index value of greater than 2.5, or a Ryznar Stability Index value of less than
4.5, said method comprising adding to the aqueous system a styrene
polycarboxylate, said styrene polycarboxylate is prepared by solution
polymerizing: (i) 1 to 60 mole percent of a monomer selected from the group
consisting of styrene, substituted-styrene and combinations thereof, (ii) 20 to 80
mole percent of a monocarboxylic acid monomer, and (iii) 30 to 80 mole
percent of a dicarboxylic acid monomer, in the presence of a water-miscible
solvent to form a styrene polycarboxylate solution containing acid moieties,
wherein the mole percents are based on the total moles of monomer used to
prepare the styrene polycarboxylate. The styrene polycarboxylates of the
invention inhibit scale formation, and/or inhibit corrosion of metals, and/or
facilitate dispersion of particulate matter, in aqueous systems.

Abstract: Voice and data services are delivered to subscribers from a Tier 2 exchange (11) via an
optical fibre path (36) to a local distribution unit (37) to which the subscribers are coupled by
copper loops. Each subscriber is served via a respective line card (19) at the exchange.
Coupling over the fibre path is effected by digitizing analogue signals from the line
cards (19) and multiplexing the digitized signals together. At the distribution unit, the
digitized signals are de-multiplexed and their analogue form is recovered for delivery
over the subscriber loops. In a further embodiment, the technique can be used over
a single subscriber line, e.g. to provide data services over a long loop that would
otherwise have insufficient bandwidth for such services.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for reproducing on a monitor
the output of a color printer. A coefficient
calculating section (44) calculates coefficients
representing color characteristics of the color printer
output and concerning the respective spectral
reflectivities of 3 reference color chips for a side,
based on the spectral reflectivities of the
color chips. A spectral reflectivity calculating
section (46) calculates a spectral reflectivity
corresponding to an arbitrary dot-area percentage on
the side, based on the coefficients calculated by the
coefficient calculating section (44), and in the
meantime calculates a spectral reflectivity
corresponding to an arbitrary dot-area percentage on
the side where the dot-area percentage of black is
100%, based on the spectral reflectivities of the color chips. 
     Such apparatus matches the real output color of a
color printer with the color to be reproduced on a

Preferably, the integrated crank assembly includes a bottom bracket spindle having an
outside diameter of greater than 29 mm, a wall thickness of less than about 2 mm, and a
wall thickness to outside diameter ratio of greater than about 11. In one embodiment, the

arm. Thus, if the outside profile of the crank arm is asymmetric between halves, then the
wall thickness can also be asymmetric because it is optimized for carrying loads equally
along the length of the crank arm.
