Abstract: A vehicle roll control system (22,24) for a vehicle (10) having a
pair of wheels (12,16) each rotatable on an axle (14,18), comprising a torsion
bar (26); a first arm (28) extending substantially perpendicular to the torsion
bar, the first arm being fixed to the torsion bar at one end and being
connectable to one of the axles at the other end; a hydraulic actuator (34)
attached to the torsion bar having first and second fluid chambers;
and control means (70-84) connected to the
hydraulic actuator and controlling the operation thereof on detection of a
predetermined vehicle condition;
wherein the control means acts on detection
of the predetermined vehicle condition either to apply substantially the same
fluid pressure to the first and second fluid chambers when the piston tends to
move in a first direction to extend the hydraulic actuator, or to apply a fluid
pressure to the second fluid chamber above the fluid pressure in the first fluid
chamber when the piston tends to move in a second direction to compress the
hydraulic actuator; and wherein the control means comprises a first directional
valve (84) and a second directional valve (86), each directional valve being
capable of moving between first and second positions either to tend to move
the piston in the first direction or to tend to move the piston in the second
direction. Reduces fluid flow in the hydraulic system.

Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based on the identification of cardiotrophin-1 gene amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the cardiotrophin-1 polypeptide encoded by the amplified gene is believed to be a useful target for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as a predictor of the prognosis of tumor treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mounting a windshield wiper on a vehicle body. Said mounting device comprises an elongated support with a pre-assembled wiper motor, a transmission, a driving crank and a transmission rod assembly that is linked with said driving crank and with at least the drive shaft for a wiper arm by means of a pivoted lever. The support structure is linked with the vehicle body in three mounting points. It is the aim of the invention to design a mounting device that requires only little assembly space for mounting the equipped support structure on the vehicle body and that facilitates the assembly. To this end, two of the mounting points (P1 and P2) that are used to establish a firm connection with the vehicle body are located along the longitudinal axis of the support structure (1) and are spaced apart from one another. The third mounting point (P3) is located at a distance from the connecting line between said mounting points (P1, P2) and is configured as a connector element (10) of a vibration-free and noise-reduced connector for a counter piece (11) to be firmly mounted on the vehicle body. The direction of connection is substantially transversal to the rotational axis of the drive crank (6) that drives the drive rod assembly (7).

Abstract: A slot allocation among child station devices is
determined in a communication control device, and slot
allocation information is sent as a downward signal to the
child station devices. In each child station device,
upwards packets are inserted into slots of an upward signal
according to the slot allocation information, and the
upward signal is sent from the child station devices to
the communication control device. In the communication
control device, it is checked whether or not upward packets
exist in slots of the upward signal. Also, one child station
device relating to slots of the upward signal currently
received is identified according to a preset delay time
for each child station device and a current time, the number
of slots allowed for the identified child station device
is detected according to the slot allocation information.
In a traffic assuming unit, a traffic volume of upward
packets sent from the identified child station device in
the future is estimated according to the packet existence
information and the number of allowed slots. Thereafter,
the slot allocation information of the child station
devices is changed according to the estimated traffic
volumes of the child station devices. Accordingly, the
traffic volume can be accurately estimated in a short time,
and a transmission bandwidth of the upward signal can be
properly allocated among the child station devices.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes, on a protective
film laminated on a circuit principal part, (i) a light
blocking film provided so as to cover the circuit
principal part, (ii) an aluminum oxide film provided so
as to completely covering the light blocking film, and
(iii) a light-blocking upper wiring provided on the
aluminum oxide film, so as to protect the circuit
principal part from observation. An attempt to exfoliate
the light blocking film or the light blocking upper
wiring causes the resistance-detection-use upper wiring
made from the same material as the material of the light
blocking upper wiring to break or thin, thereby resulting
in an increase in the resistance of the resistance-detection-use
upper wiring. The increase in the
resistance is detected by the resistance detecting
circuit part, and malfunction or inoperativeness of the
circuit principal part is caused in response to
detection, or alternatively, a malfunction of the circuit
may be caused in response to the abnormal increase in the
resistance of the resistance-detection-use upper wiring
per se. By so ding, the circuit principal part can be
protected from analysis.

Abstract: Particulate silica is prepared by feeding a gas
mixture of an organohalosilane gas, a flammable gas capable
of generating water vapor when burned, and a free oxygen-containing
gas to a reaction chamber through a multiple-tube
burner, whereby the organohalosilane is subjected to flame
hydrolysis and oxidation reaction. The amount of the
flammable gas fed is 0.5-9 mol per mol of the
organohalosilane and such that the amount of water vapor
resulting from combustion of the flammable gas is 1-6 times
the stoichiometric amount, and the gas mixture is fed to the
center tube of the burner such that it may have a linear
velocity at the outlet of 50-120 m/sec, calculated in the
standard state. The resulting silica has a surface area of
100-400 m 2 /g and a narrow particle size distribution of
primary particles and ensures the transparency of silicone

Abstract: With an electronic money managing system (1000, 1000')
using an electronic-money medium (100, 100'), a user is freed
from worrying about a balance in the medium (100, 100'),
avoiding unnecessary spending. The system has a medium (100,

section (120) in response to charging by a charging section (210).
A minimum balance setting section (130, 130') sets in the
medium (100, 100') an amount payable only for a particular
purpose as a minimum balance. A purpose judgment section
(140) discriminates whether or not a payment is for the
particular purpose. A balance judgment section (150, 150')
discriminates whether or not a total balance of electronic
money remaining in the medium (100, 100') after the payment
is smaller than the minimum balance. A control section (160)
makes control so as to prohibit the payment, if the result of the
discrimination by the purpose judgment section (140) is
negative and also if the result of the discrimination by the
balance judgment section (150, 150') is positive.
