Abstract: In a fuel cell system 10, a cracking unit 20 is provided upstream of a
reformer 36. When the cracking unit 20 is supplied with oxygen and
gasoline as a hydrocarbon-based fuel, the gasoline is partially oxidized and
decomposed using oxidation-generated heat to give a hydrocarbon with a

obtained by such gasoline pyrolysis is fed to the reformer 36 and supplied to
a reforming reaction zone.

Abstract: An electronic device for performing an output operation
according to pressing force of a button is provided. An entertainment
device receives an output signal from a controller. When the button is
pressed, the entertainment device obtains a pressing level, and calculates
a variable time (a continuous input judging time and a continuous output
interval time) on the basis of this pressing level. When an on-signal is
outputted in a just previous frame, the entertainment device judges
whether the frame should be turned on this time on the basis of the
variable time calculated here.

Abstract: A toner loading system for an image forming apparatus includes a valve for a
toner bottle and a valve opening member on a toner hopper of the image forming
apparatus. The valve includes a first valve member non-rotatably secured to an
opening of the toner bottle and a second valve member rotatably secured to the first
valve member. The first and second valve members each include tabs and apertures.
When the tabs of the first and second valve members are aligned the apertures of the
first and second valve members do not overlap and no toner may be dispensed from the
toner bottle. The toner bottle is engaged with the valve opening member on the toner
hopper to dispense the toner. The valve opening member prevents rotation of the
second valve member with respect to the hopper and permits rotation of the first valve
member and the toner bottle with respect to the toner hopper. Rotation of the first
valve member relative to the second valve member in a first direction causes the tabs to
move out of alignment and the aperture of the first valve member to overlap the
aperture of the second valve member, allowing dispensing of the toner. The valve
opening member prevents disengagement of the toner bottle from the toner hopper
while the valve is open, thus preventing spilling of the toner. Rotation of the first valve
member relative to the second valve member in a second direction opposite to the first
direction moves the tabs back into alignment and closes the valve. The toner bottle
may then be disengaged from the valve opening member.

Abstract: A method of driving a display apparatus, in which the gradation scale is represented, by the subfield method, with less flicker even when driven at a frequency of 50 Hz is disclosed. In this method, the two most weighted subfields (subfields of Bn brightness and Bn-1 brightness when it is assumed that the frame is composed of n subfields and the brightness of n subfields is Bi (i = 1 - n; B1 ≦ B2 .... Bn-1 ≦ Bn)) are arranged at the interval of about half the length of the frame. Because of this, there exist two peaks of the light emission intensity in a frame, the interval being about half the length of the frame, and if the display apparatus is driven at a frequency of 50 Hz and the length of the frame is 20 ms, the variation period of the light emission intensity is 10 ms and the light emission intensity varies at 100 Hz, therefore, flicker is not detected.

Abstract: In one method, a zinc concentrate is leached as elemental
sulfur and other by-products are stripped from the surfaces of
the particles in the concentrate by means of a grinding machine
such as a ball mill. The ferric ion consumed by leaching is
regenerated for recycled use by introducing oxygen into the
post-leaching solution flowing through feed pipes. This method
can shorten the leach time by a substantial degree. 
     In another leaching method, a solution containing free
sulfuric acid and ferrous ions and a zinc concentrate are
charged into an autoclave having a pressurized atmosphere and
as oxygen gas is supplied, the internal temperature is adjusted
between 90 °C and 120 °C, whereby the ferrous ion in the
solution is oxidized to increase the ferric ion concentration
to 2 - 60 g/L whereas pressurized leaching of the zinc
concentrate is performed simultaneously. Following this one-step
oxidative leaching process, the resulting slurry is
subjected to a grinding/leaching step in which by-product
elemental sulfur is stripped from the surfaces of the particles
in the leached zinc concentrate and, thereafter, the slurry
from the grinding/leaching step is subjected to another
pressurized leaching step.

Abstract: The plasma display panel having brightness display ranges comprising a gradation brightness display range (1) which displays gradation brightness corresponding to the input signals under a preset input signal level (LM) and a constant peak brightness display range (2) which displays a constant peak brightness (P) greater than the maximum brightness (M3) corresponding to input signals greater than the preset input signal level (LM). The plasma display panel can provide the gradation display up to the maximum brightness (M3) corresponding to the input signals up to the maximum input signal level (LM) and provide the constant peak brightness (P) corresponding to the peak level input by adding one additional weighting bit for the higher gradation. Consequently, a high quality brightness display with high mean value of the brightness and sufficiently high peak brightness can be achieved. Furthermore, the plasma display panel enhances the brightness weighting value and the value of  gamma  for the reverse  gamma  correction when the input signals go over the preset value and decrease the values to the original values when the input signals drop below the preset value. The plasma display panel can provide the gradation display up to the maximum brightness M3 corresponding to the input signals up to the maximum input signal level LD and provide the gradation display up to the peak brightness P greater than the maximum brightness M3 corresponding to the input signals over the maximum input signal level LD. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Word sense ambiguity, for "thematic" words in a sentence, is achieved based on thematic
prediction. The senses of "thematic" words are disambiguated in a sentence by determining and
weighting possible themes for that sentence. Possible themes are determined for that sentence
based on thematic information associated with the different senses of each word in the sentence.
A highly deterministic thematic-based word sense disambiguation method is used to preprocess
the sentence prior to further syntactic and semantic analysis, thereby enhancing accuracy and
decreasing the demand for computational resources (memory and CPU) by reducing input
ambiguities.
