Abstract: A general-purpose lead bending machine for electronic
components that is capable of bending leads of various types
of electronic components without a need of a great variety
of benders. The machine includes a lead holding device for
holding the distal end of a lead of an electronic component.
A first driving mechanism causes the lead holding device to
move along a first axis of travel. A second driving
mechanism causes the lead holding device to move along a
second axis of travel perpendicularly intersecting the first
axis of travel. A control device controls the first driving
mechanism and the second driving mechanism such that the
lead holding device holding the lead of the electronic
component moves along an approximately circular arc-shaped
locus, thereby bending the lead of the electronic component.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine and method of engine
control that selectively shifts the combustion mode carried
out in its cylinder between stratified charge combustion and
homogeneous charge combustion. A fuel supply device
supplies the cylinder with fuel. A condition detecting
device detects the operating conditions of the engine. A
mode determining device determines the preferred combustion
mode in accordance with the detected operating conditions.
If the mode determining device determines that homogeneous
charge combustion is to be performed, a first controller
sets a first fuel supply amount and controls the fuel
supplying device accordingly so that the engine torque
fluctuation approaches a predetermined target value. If the
determining device determines that stratified charge
combustion is to be performed, a second controller sets a
second fuel supply amount and controls the fuel supplying
device accordingly so that the engine torque fluctuation
approaches a predetermined target value. This permits
smooth fuel control and prevents torque shocks.

Abstract: An apparatus for preventing a vehicle from deviating from the
correct locus of movement thereof when the vehicle travels in a direction
opposite to the direction designated by a gear selecting lever during an
automatic parking control operation. When automatic parking control
operation is started, the wheels are automatically steered on the basis of
the relation between the traveling distance of the vehicle and a standard
steering angle which is stored in advance in a storage means, and the
vehicle is guided automatically to a parking position. When the vehicle,
for which the automatic parking control operation has been started from
a position  O , moves back from a position Q due to the inclination of the
road surface, the automatic parking control operation necessarily
continues to be carried out unless the forward movement or backward
movement of the vehicle is recognized and the vehicle travels to a
different position O'. When the forward or backward movements of the
vehicle is recognized, and when the vehicle moves back from the
position Q, the standard steering angle ref is reproduced reversely from
the position Q and outputted, whereby the vehicle can be returned to the
original position O.

Abstract: An electric power supply control apparatus (4 1  - 4 5 ) for controlling electric
power supplied to an electric motor (2) and a lamp (3) in a motor assisted
vehicle comprises: an input torque detecting means (10) for detecting a
torque generated by strength of the driver; the lamp (3); the electric motor
(2) capable of generating assist power in accordance with a value detected
by the input torque detecting means (10); and a battery (1) for supplying
electric power to the lamp (3) and the electric motor (2). In the control
apparatus (4 1  - 4 5 ) electric power supplied by the battery (1) to the electric
motor (2) and the lamp (3) is controlled so that is it possible to prevent
electric power from being discharged excessively from the battery (1) to the
electric motor (2) and the lamp (3) of the motor assisted vehicle, which is
currently powered only by strength of the driver, can be turned on even in
the absence of assistance provided by the electric motor (2). To this end,
the electric power is controlled as follows: when the voltage of the battery
(1) drops below a first predetermined level, supplying of electric power to
the electric motor (2) is halted, and when the voltage of the battery (1)
drops below a second predetermined level which is lower than the first
predetermined level, supplying of electric power to the lamp (3) is halted.

Abstract: A power supply device of the present invention includes
an electric double layer capacitor (2) connected to,
e.g., an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read
Only Memory) drive, floppy disk drive or similar motor-driven
equipment (1), and another electric double layer
capacitor (2) connected to, e.g. a pulse generating device
(3) included in a radio transmitter. The capacitors
(2) each feed power when the load of the associated
equipment sharply varies during operation of the equipment.
This makes it needless for a main power supply (5)
to feed such power. A laminate polymer battery (4) is
connected to a low voltage IC (Integrated Circuit) (7)
and feeds power thereto. This also makes it needless for
the main power (5) to feed power to the low voltage IC
(7), and allows a short feed line to connect the laminate
polymer battery (4) and IC (7). The short feed line reduces
the transfer of noise to the IC (7) and therefore
malfunction ascribable to noise.

Abstract: The voltage of each of battery block (50-1∼50-n) of a battery
(50) is detected by a voltage sensor (70-1∼70-n). Further, the
temperature of the battery (50) is detected by a temperature sensor
(74). These detected values are supplied to a detecting section
(80) of a battery ECU (68). A judging section (82) reads out the
threshold value of the voltage stored in a memory (84), on the basis
of the detected values of temperature, and compares the threshold
value of the voltage with the detected voltage of each of the battery
blocks (50-1∼50-n). Then, if at least any one is less than the
threshold value of the voltage, a relay (76) is turned off.
Furthermore, the threshold value of the voltage is arranged to be
the voltage at the moment when the value of the current is suddenly
increased by the discharge of a constant current of the battery.

Abstract: A Rat IgG antibody film, formed on a p-type Si substrate,
is selectively irradiated with ultraviolet rays,
thereby leaving part of the Rat IgG antibody film, except for
a region deactivated with the ultraviolet rays. Next, when
the p-type Si substrate is immersed in a solution containing
Au fine particles that have been combined with a Rat IgG antigen,
the Rat IgG antigen is selectively combined with the Rat
IgG antibody film. As a result, Au fine particles, combined
with the Rat IgG antigen, are fixed on the Rat IgG antibody
film. Thereafter, the p-type Si substrate is placed within
oxygen plasma for 20 minutes, thereby removing the Rat IgG antibody
film, the deactivated Rat IgG antibody film and the Rat
IgG antigen. Consequently, dot elements can be formed at desired
positions on the p-type Si substrate. If these dot elements
are used for the floating gate of a semiconductor memory
device, then the device has a structure suitable for miniaturization.

data of the scenario accordingly. This enables every consuming
device to consume any ofthe multimedia applications stored in the server
regardless of the material format with which the consuming device can deal
