Abstract: The device has a lock bolt (3.1) which is fixable in a lockable position by a press button mechanism which is operable vertically to the housing plane. After application of an excess lift on the press button mechanism the bolt can be freed from the locking position. In an unlocked state the lock bolt is tensioned by a compression spring (3.4) in an outwardly pushed position, but is backwardly press held against spring force in the lock housing (3.2). The lock bolt has an inclined or rounded formation which works in conjunction with a stop (1.1) and is located so that it is capable of being pushed backwards. The pressure spring may be arranged between a central section of the rear side of the lock bolt and the front side of a stop (3.5) which is fixed to the housing.

Abstract: In a combustion control device for an internal combustion
engine provided with a plurality of fuel injection modes having
different target air-fuel ratios, threshold values for
detecting deterioration of combustion in the internal
combustion engine are determined separately for each fuel
injection mode depending on features of variation of combustion
in the internal combustion engine in each fuel injection mode.
Quantity of variation of combustion in the internal combustion
engine is, for example, detected in the form of revolution
angular acceleration or revolution angular acceleration
deviation of the engine. The detected quantity of revolution
fluctuation is compared with a threshold value in the currently
chosen fuel injection mode. Thus, deterioration of combustion
is surely judged according to each fuel injection mode. In
particular, threshold values in a compression stroke injection
mode are determined to be larger than threshold values in an
intake stroke injection mode. A threshold value in the
compression stroke injection mode is so determined as to
substantively correspond to a complete misfire state of the
engine, and threshold values in the intake stroke injection mode
consist of a first threshold value substantively corresponding
to a complete misfire state of the engine and a second threshold
value substantively corresponding to an unstable combustion
state of the engine.

Abstract: In a multi-media communication terminal device, when
commands of respective reproduction modes are
sequentially input for a short period, synchronization
error of the image and sound causing disturbance of image
of sound and unwanted video and audio output, can be
avoided. When the command is input to the multi-media
communicating terminal device by a user, a control
software executed in CPU inhibits input of the next
command. When a video data corresponding to the input
command is fed to the multi-media communication terminal
device from the superior device, decoding of the video
data in the video data decoding portion is initiated. 
When decoding of the new video data by the video data
decoding portion is confirmed, interruption is caused in
CPU. When interruption is confirmed, the control
software permits next command input which is once
inhibited.

Abstract: A contour encoding apparatus encoding a contour of an
object in a current frame based on a previous frame first
generates a global motion vector between the current and the
previous frames and calculates the number of contours in the
previous frame. Then, the apparatus determines, for each of
current contours, an optimum contour among the previous
contours and detects a local motion vector between the optimum
and the current contours. Once the global and the local
motion vectors are determined, a predicted contour
corresponding to each of the current contours is generated by
shifting the optimum contour by the global and the local
motion vectors. By using the predicted and the current
contours, an error representing a difference therebetween is
extracted. Subsequently, flag signals describing how close
each of the previous contours is to a corresponding current
contour are produced based on the number of the previous
contours and contour encoding information corresponding to
each of the current contours and sequences of the errors and
the local motion vectors for the current frame are outputted
based on the contour encoding information corresponding to
each of the current contours. Finally, the flag signals and
the sequences of the errors and the local motion vectors are
multiplexed and then the multiplexed data is transmitted as an
encoded contour data.

Abstract: A waveguide element is capable of realizing acute waveguide
discontinuity, such as a right angle bending, (L-shaped bending) or
branching (T-shaped branching). Two single mode waveguides (12,13)
having the identical cross-sectional structure form a waveguide
discontinuity where center axes thereof extending in the longitudinal
direction intersect with each other at an angle  (0 <
 ≦ 90°). A leaky wave propagation region (14) in a form of a lozenge
shape having a length of one edge of L in located in the vicinity of a
point where the center axes extended in the longitudinal directions of
respective incident side and side single mode waveguides, with an
effective propagation wavelength of a dominant mode thereof being cos
(/2) times of the effective propagation wavelength λc.
Thus, energy of the wave launched from the incident end of one single
mode waveguide can be efficiently taken out from the end of the other
single mode waveguide. 
     A mechanism for controlling the leaky wave propagation region (113)
is constructed with a terminal (114), to which a voltage (electric
field) as a control signal is applied, electrodes (118) and (119) and an
electro-optical crystal (120). 
     By applying the voltage as the control signal to the terminal (114),
the absorption coefficient and/or refraction index of the electro-optic
crystal (120) are varied by the electrodes (118) and (119).
