for producing an oligosaccharide by using the same. Also
provided are an amylase that has a principal activity
of acting on a saccharide, as a substrate, composed of at
least three sugar units wherein at least three sugar units
on the reducing end side are glucose units and the linkage
between the first and the second glucose units is α-1,α-1
while the linkage between the second and the third glucose
units is α-1,4 so as to liberate α,α-trehalose by
hydrolyzing the α-1,4 linkage and another activity of
hydrolyzing the α-1,4 linkage within the molecular chain of

Abstract: In a valve operating system in an internal combustion
engine, a swinging support section provided at a base end of
a rocker arm is swingably carried on a rocker shaft mounted in
a cylinder head. A plurality of valve abutments are provided
at a tip end of the rocker arm and capable of being individually
put into abutment against upper ends of a plurality of engine
valves, and a cam abutment is provided on the rocker arm in an
intermediate portion between the swinging support section and
each of the valve abutments to come into contact with a valve
operating cam. The swinging support section comprises a
thinner cylindrical portion surrounding the rocker shaft, and
thicker cylindrical portions which are formed at a thickness
larger than that of the thinner cylindrical portion into a
cylindrical shape to surround the rocker shaft and which are
integrally and continuously provided at axially opposite ends
of the thinner cylindrical portion, respectively. Thus, it is
possible to enhance the durability of the rocker arm, while
avoiding an increase in weight of the rocker arm.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a video game system
including a game controller, a video display and a hand-held control unit. The game
controller is coupled to the control unit and the video display. The control unit houses
an accelerometer that senses the tilt of the control unit with respect to an axis. The

movement of a game character on the video display. 
     In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a video game
system that further includes a light sensor housed in the control unit. The light sensor
detects one or more light pixels from the video display and produces a detection signal
to the game controller. The game controller determines from the detection signal the
light pixels detected from the video display.

Abstract: A two-dimensional bar code reading method and apparatus search the finder pattern in a scanned image of a two-dimensional bar code symbol, find orientation modules, find data modules, and convert the symbol to data characters as part of the decoding process for the scanned image of a MaxiCode symbol. In the data module search part of a MaxiCode symbol decoding process, position and shape information is calculated for data modules on an orientation axis, assuming an orientation axis passing the finder pattern center point, inside orientation module center point, and outside orientation module center point (step S1801). Based on pixel data corresponding to the calculated location of the center point in each module, a bit pattern is generated where black data cells are 1 bits and white cells are 0 bits (S1802). The locations of MaxiCode symbol data modules in the area between orientation axes are then calculated (S1803). Pixel data corresponding to the calculated location of the center point of each data module is then converted to a bit pattern where black data cells are 1 bits and white data cells are 0 bits (S1804), and the data module search process then ends. <IMAGE>

Abstract: [Object] 
     To improve contact reliability while preventing a terminal fitting from becoming

     [Solution] 
     An insulation-displacement groove 24 is formed between blades 20 formed to
project at right angles from left and right side walls 22 by cutting and bending. The
insulation-displacement groove 24 is formed such that a straight contact groove 26 is
continuously provided below a guide groove 25 having an angled tapered shape by
being defined by moderately sloped edges 31 at its upper side and steeply sloped
edges 32 at its lower side. When a coated wire W is pushed in, cuts are made in a
coating Wb by boundary portions 35 between the moderately sloped edges 31 and
the steeply sloped edges 32 of the guide groove 25. As the coated wire W is further
pushed, the coating Wb is cut and a core Wa thus exposed is pushed into the contact
groove 26 while being guided toward the center of the contact groove 26 by the
steeply sloped edges 32, consequently establishing a contact by being tightly held
between contact edges 33.

Abstract: A method for trans-myocardial revascularization of the heart of a patient includes positioning an active electrode surface (82) close proximity to a target site on the wall of a patient's heart, and applying high frequency voltage between the active voltage surface (82) and a return electrode (56) to ablate tissue at the heart wall. The high frequency voltage ablates, i.e., volumetrically removes the heart tissue, and the electrode surface (82) is axially translated into the space vacated by the removed tissue to bore a channel through the heart tissue. The active electrode surface (82) may be introduced into the thoracic cavity and placed adjacent the epicardium to form an inward channel toward the ventricular cavity of the heart and positioned adjacent the endocardium to form a channel extending outward towards the epicardium. In either case, the channels formed through the myocardium promote direct communication between blood with the ventricular cavity and that of existing myocardial vasculature to increase blood flow to the heart tissue. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and system for controlling a temperature of products in a
rotating drum employs nozzles (36) to deliver a heat transfer fluid in a more efficient
manner. The heat transfer fluid nozzles (36) which are positioned around the interior
of the rotating drum (14) deliver the heat transfer fluid to the product in the drum
when the nozzles are positioned under the product and prevent delivery of the
heat transfer fluid when the nozzles are not under the product. This improves
the efficiency of the heat transfer system substantially over known systems in
which the heat transfer fluid is delivered continuously and a large portion of the
heat transfer fluid is exhausted from the rotating drum before contacting the
product. The heat transfer system also provides a self cleaning system for the
nozzles which deliver the heat transfer fluid to the drum.
