Abstract: An exhaust system has first and second exhaust gas turbochargers for a V-8 internal combustion engine having an ignition sequence of a 90° crank angle from one cylinder to the next in each of two cylinder banks. The exhaust system includes a first-through-fourth exhaust lines from the cylinders to the two exhaust gas turbochargers, with two cylinders respectively being assigned to an exhaust line. One exhaust turbocharger is respectively assigned to two exhaust lines. The two cylinders assigned to an exhaust line having an ignition interval of a 360° crank angle. The first and the second exhaust lines assigned to an exhaust gas turbocharger having an ignition sequence displaced with respect to one another by a 180° crank angle. As a result, the opening phase of the charge cycle intake valves can be prolonged, which leads to a significantly higher power of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: Hammer drill capable of restricting rotation of a bit (4) in a hammer mode, and improving usability.  A hammer drill includes a lock plate (51) in a housing (2), and the lock plate (51) engages with a second gear (31) so as to lock rotation of the second gear. The lock plate (51) is provided to be slidable between an engaging position with the second gear (31) and a non-engaging position, and is biased to the engaging position by a coil spring. The hammer drill further includes a restriction part (50) on an outer peripheral side of a holding tube (46) in a mode switching knob (44). The restriction part (50) abuts the lock plate (51) in one of two phases for engaging a clutch (37) with only a boss sleeve (32) so as to hold the lock plate (51) at the non-engaging position, and cancels the abutment with the lock plate (51) in the other phase to slide the lock plate (51) to the engaging position. In a hammer mode, a user can select a state for making rotation of a tool holder (3) free in one phase or a state for restricting the rotation of the tool holder (3) in the other phase.

Abstract: The invention concerns the introduction of predetermined genetic changes in target genes of a living cell by introducing an oligodeoxynucleotide encoding the predetermined change. The oligodeoxynucleotides are effective in animal, plant and bacterial cells. Specific end modifications that greatly increase the effectiveness of the oligodeoxynucleotides in bacteria are described. Surprisingly, unmodified oligodeoxynucleotides can be as effective in mammalian cells, including in vivo hepatocytes, as the modified nucleotides and can be as effective or more effective than chimeric oligonucleotides that consist of a mixture of deoxynucleotides and 2'-O-methyl ribonucleotides.

Abstract: A tone generation system intended primarily for use in electronic musical instruments wherein a digital representation of a harmonically rich waveform is sampled, and a musical tone is produced therefrom. The stored waveform could be the four term Blackman-Harris window function, which has negligible side lobes and thus greatly attenuated higher harmonics. The stored function is read out at a fixed rate, but the time periods between successive readings of the waveform are varied to thereby vary the frequency of the output signal.
