Abstract: A system for controlling the seating of an engine valve is disclosed. The system is designed to bring a hydraulically actuated engine valve to a soft landing on its valve seat. The velocity of the engine valve is reduced as it approaches its seat by progressively throttling the escape of hydraulic fluid from a chamber. The chamber is pressurized as a result of the valve approaching its seat. Accordingly, as the valve approaches its seat, the pressure in the chamber increases, causing the force that opposes the closing motion of the engine valve to increase.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil de traitement à faisceau de particules, de taille inférieure fonctionnant plus efficacement. L'appareil de traitement comprend un assemblage de production de faisceau de particules, un assemblage de support en feuille et un assemblage de traitement. Cet assemblage de production de faisceau de particules produit un nuage de particules, par exemple, des électrons, en chauffant au moins un filament de tungstène. Ensuite, les électrons sont extraits, de sorte qu'ils se déplacent à grande vitesse jusqu'à l'assemblage de support en feuille réglé à une tension sensiblement inférieure à celle de l'assemblage de production de faisceau de particules. Un substrat est placé dans l'appareil de traitement, à l'intérieur de la zone de traitement, puis est exposé aux électrons sortant de l'assemblage de production de faisceau de particules et entrant dans la zone de traitement. Les électrons pénètrent et traitent le substrat, provoquant ainsi une réaction chimique, par exemple, une polymérisation, une réticulation ou une stérilisation.

Abstract: The present invention aims to produce a label which
has a size, margins and a character arrangement as a user
desired, and aims to reduce a wasteful consumption of
tape. 
In a tape printing device of the present invention,
there is established an enlargement printing mode in
which a large pseudo label, whose width is wider than the
width of tape (T), can be obtained when the tape is divided
into division portions in the longitudinal direction of
the tape (T) and when the division portions are arranged in
the direction of the width of the tape. When printing in
this mode, the tape printing device prints not only a
character string but a marker which indicates the
dividing positions in the longitudinal direction of the
tape, with the intention of improving the quality of the
pseudo label. 
Further, the tape printing device of the present
invention has the function of automatically setting the
length of the front and rear margins according to the
width of the tape and the function of printing a square-array
dot pattern on a wide region which is wider than
the character string. Moreover, the tape printing device
of the present invention has the function of feeding the
tape, for example, between a print head (32) and a cutter (39),
when instructing to stop printing the character string,
without printing characters. Furthermore, the tape
printing device of the present invention has the function
of printing a character string even when accelerating and
decelerating a tape feeding motor. Thus, desirable
margins or the like can be realized and the reduction in
wasteful consumption of the tape can be achieved by
making use of theses functions. 
Additionally, the tape printing device of the
present invention has the function of inputting, taking
in and printing (1/M)-scale reduced numeric characters,
each of which has a size that is (1/M) the size of a
full-size character. Thus, the variety of the manners of
printing numeric characters can be increased.
