Abstract: An intake manifold made of a synthetic resin includes a
surge tank, and a plurality of intake pipes disposed in parallel
to one another and each having a rising pipe portion which is
connected to a lower portion of the surge tank and extends
upwards. A space is defined between the surge tank and each
of the rising pipe portions, as viewed sideways. In order to
enable an increase in volume of the surge tank, while avoiding
an increase in size of the intake manifold, the surge tank (20)
includes a main tank portion (20a) extending in a direction (28)
of arrangement of the intake pipes (21A to 21D) and opposed to
the rising pipe portions (29A to 29D) of the intake pipes (21A
to 21D), and a sideways-bulged portion (20b) which is bulged
from an intermediate portion of the main tank portion (20a) as
viewed in the arrangement direction (28) and is interposed
between a pair of rising pipe portions (29B, 29C) disposed at
the intermediate portion as viewed in the arrangement direction
28. Inner ends of a pair of the spaces (38) defined respectively
between the rising pipe portions (29A to 29D) and the main tank
portion (20a) on opposite sides of the sideways-bulged portion
(20b) are closed by opposite sidewalls of the sideways-bulged
portion (20b).

Abstract: An electro-chemical device having a high catalyst utilization efficiency
includes a gas diffusion electrode formed of a carbonaceous material and having a
catalyst formed on at least a portion of its surface, and an electrolyte film provided
in contact with one surface of the gas diffusion electrode. The amount of the
catalyst formed on the portion of the carbonaceous material contacting with the
electrolyte film is lesser on the side electrolyte film than on the side opposite to the
electrolyte film. So, the catalyst utilization efficiency is increased appreciably to
render it possible to elevate the energy efficiency of the electro-chemical device.

Abstract: An artificial vision system traning method starts by forming (S2) a feature matrix including feature sample vectors and a corresponding response sample vector including response sample scalars. The method then uses an iterative procedure to determine a linkage vector linking the response sample vector to the feature matrix. This iterative procedure includes the steps: determining (S4) a response sample vector error estimate in the response sample vector domain; transforming (S6) the response sample vector error estimate into a corresponding linkage vector error estimate in the linkage vector domain; determining (S7) a linkage vector estimate in the linkage vector domain by using the linkage vector error estimate; transforming (S8) the linkage vector estimate into a corresponding response sample vector estimate in the response sample vector domain. These steps are repeated until (S5) the response sample vector error estimate is sufficiently small.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for adjusting the position of a cutting tool. In one embodiment, a boring tool (20) includes a coupling member (45) which is driven by a CNC boring machine, and a sliding tool holder (35) which is slidably coupled to the coupling member. A frictional force resist sliding movement of the cutting tool member (35). The frictional force is sufficient to retain the position of the cutting tool during machining operations. However, the frictional force is insufficient to resist a lateral force applied parallel to the direction of sliding, as used during adjustment of the tool position. In another embodiment, either a surface (1134) of the sliding tool holder (1135, 1135') or a surface (1458, 1458') of a frictional member (1450, 1450') are contoured with a shape that corresponds to a desired contour of a sidewall (1184a) of a hole (1184). During machining, a follower (1457b) in contact with the contoured surface (1458, 1458') causes the cutting tool holder to slide laterally during machining, thus contouring the sidewall of the hole.

Abstract: An architecture for a multimedia peer-to-peer home network
(P2P_1,P2P_2) allows the automated definition of peer groups,
or zones, by using group labels (Z_ID), where each peer
(N1,...,N7) is capable of automatically identifying whether
other peers are members of the same group, or of another
group, and where each peer (N1,...,N7) may freely cooperate with
other peers of the same group, e.g. exchange information or
share resources like storage capacity. 
     Using this architecture, it is e.g. possible that a user who
is accessing a node within a peer group has also access to any
other node of the peer group, without being requested for
authentication. Another characteristic is that other peer
groups (OZ_41) can be defined which have access rights to
network resources and services (N42,N44). Advantageously, the
invention simplifies network creation and operation by not
requiring the user to have special networking knowledge.

Abstract: A container (1) for a roller-applied viscous coating composition (5) which facilitates
non-messy loading of the composition onto a roller and non-messy removal of excess
composition from the roller. The container has an opening large enough to allow insertion
of the roller and also a grid (6) located below the opening but extending only part way
across the container so as to leave access (7) to a lower portion (1a) of the container
below the grid where when in use, coating composition is stored. Insertion of the roller
into the composition and its subsequent withdrawal load excess composition onto the
roller. The excess composition can be removed from the roller by rolling it across the grid
from where the excess drips back into the main volume of the composition. Loading the
roller, removal of the excess and its return to the lower portion all occur within the
container so avoiding mess.

Abstract: A cable jointing enclosure comprises a base 10 provided

oval-section cover 14 for fitting to the base, and a plurality
of storage trays 13 mounted in a stack within the enclosure,
the stack extending perpendicular to the through axis of the
entry ports 11. Each tray 13 is pivotally mounted to the base
10 about respective axes, which extend perpendicular to the
axis to the through axis of the entry ports 11, for pivotal
movement in opposite directions from a position wherein the
plane of the tray 13 lies parallel to the through axis of the
entry ports 11. 
     The enclosure is arranged so that the primary optical
fibre cables 17 and the secondary optical fibre cables 18 enter
the enclosure through respective ports 11 in the base 10.
Individual fibres within the cables are then fed to selected
trays 13 within the stack. The fibres within the cables 17,18
can feed directly into the trays 13 with the minimum of
bending, since the stack of trays 13 extends perpendicular to
the through axis of the ports 11. Thus, the minimum radius of
curvature of any fibres is not exceeded. Also, since the trays
13 effectively pivot about an axis which extends perpendicular
to the longitudinal axis of the fibres, the trays in the stack
can be pivoted apart to gain access to a tray 13 so that an
engineer can work on a required tray 13, to form a splice
between cables or between a splitter device and a cable within
the tray 13.

Abstract: The invention offers a way to objectively analyze information obtained by

information inside the monitored results. Market trend data resulting from
monitoring of market trends are rearranged by an input data sorting portion (2a) of
an information processing device (2) to form a data set of a predetermined form, a
wavelet transform processing portion (2b) applies a discrete wavelet transform to the
data set, and the wavelet spectrum obtained as a result is used to express amounts of
data separately for each rate of change of elemental values in the data set.
Additionally, a multi-resolution analysis processing portion (2c) applies an inverse
wavelet transform to the waveIet spectra of the respective levels, thereby to obtain
multi-resolution analysis results corresponding to respective resolution levels of the
data set. Then, a multi-resolution analysis result processing portion (2d) performs
such operations as summation of the multi-resolution analysis results or correlation
operations of the data sets.
