Abstract: A carton end closure score line breaker mechanism for pre-breaking the top closure score lines before the filling and closing and sealing steps does not include a centre post, or any components which extend into the inside of a carton end closure, eliminating any chance for contamination inside the end panels. The mechanism includes a first pair of blades (76) having arcuate centre sections for caving in respective end panels 18 and 20 and, thereby, bulging outwardly the other end panels 17 and 19, a blade fork 88 including two longitudinal, parallel extensions 92 and 94 which slide across respective body panels, and a second pair of blades (90) in the form of flat-faced bars for engaging the end panels 18 and 20 and causing the end panels 17 and 19 to project outwardly, completing the pre-breaking of all vertical end closure score lines.

Abstract: On a winding method that winds by traversing yarn, the present invention forcibly restricts the traverse width of the yarn when the yarn tension decreases. Specifically, traverse restriction is carried out before cutting of the yarn, immediately before the supply yarn runs out or at the start of winding. 
     Accordingly, end missing during winding and mis-traversing are prevented and the production of defective packages can be prevented.

Abstract: An assembly for mounting a vehicle sunshade (10) in
a panel opening comprises a sunshade having a mounting
shaft extending therefrom and terminating in an end
portion (12) received in a first mounting member. The first
mounting member has a sleeve-like body (24) with a central
opening (26) that receives the end portion of the mounting
shaft (12) to permit rotation thereof within the central
opening. A second mounting member (46) including an annular
flange (48) and a center opening closely receives the first
mounting member. A plurality of resilient legs located
about the center opening extend from the annular flange
axially relative to the center opening. The legs (56) are
located and sized to extend into the panel opening and
including catch elements on the exterior of the legs that
act to retain the second mounting member in the panel
opening. Cooperating surfaces on the exterior of the
sleeve-like body and the interior of the legs define an
axially outer first position of engagement and an axially
inner second position of axial engagement. The first
position prevents radial inward deflection of the legs (56) to
retain the first mounting member in the panel opening and
the second position permits radial inward deflection to
allow removal of the second mounting member from the panel
opening. Latch elements (58) carried by the second mounting (46)
member are engageable with the first mounting member for
preventing movement of the second mounting member axially
but of the first mounting member while permitting
selective movement from the first position to the second
position.

Abstract: The object of the present invention lies in providing
an optical digital communication method and an optical
digital communication apparatus capable of reducing the
influence of disturbance light noises and of increasing the
communication distance. In a transmission unit 80 of an
optical digital communication apparatus, two different
light emitting elements 14A and 14B are activated in
response to a digital signal DS1 to be transmitted and to
a digital signal DS1' obtained by inverting the digital
signal DS1. Output lights from the light emitting elements
14A and 14B are converted into two linearly polarized lights
having different planes of polarization and then into two
circularly polarized lights or elliptically polarized
lights for the radiation into the air. In a reception unit
90 of the optical digital communication apparatus, two
different linearly polarized lights are regenerated from
the two circularly polarized lights or elliptically
polarized lights radiated from the transmission unit 80 on
another optical digital communication apparatus to
communicate therewith. Two different light receiving
elements 13A and 13B receive the two different linearly
polarized lights to generate two electric signals DS2 and
DS2'. A subtracter 91 obtains a difference in level
between the two electric signals DS2 and DS2' to generate
an electric signal DS3, and a digital signal to be
transmitted is acquired from said signal DS3.

Abstract: A control for an automatic transmission minimizes shift cycling
between adjacent speed ratios (Rdes, Rdes +1 ) due to non-ideal load conditions
such as grade climbing and trailering. The control utilizes shift schedule data
(%T vs Nv) in formulating a determination of the ability of the vehicle to
maintain current levels of performance if an upshift were to occur and inhibits
such upshifts where the determination so indicates an inability to meet the
criteria.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is constituted by a
quantum-wave interference layer with plural periods of a
pair of a first layer W and a second layer B. The second
layer B has wider band gap than the first layer W. Each
thickness of the first layer W and the second layer B is
determined by multiplying by an odd number one fourth of
wavelength of quantum-wave of carriers in each of the first
layer W and the second layer B existing around the lowest
energy level of the second layer B. A δ layer, for sharply
varying energy band, is formed at an every interface
between the first layer W and the second layer B and has a
thickness substantially thinner than the first layer W and
the second layer B. The quantum-wave interference layer
functions as a reflecting layer of carriers for higher
reflectivity.
