method comprises introducing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol
copolymer solution containing at least 50 parts by weight
of an alcohol having a boiling point of not higher than
100°C, relative to 100 parts by weight of the ethylene-vinyl
alcohol copolymer therein, into an apparatus, and
contacting it with water in the apparatus, thereby letting
the alcohol along with water out of the apparatus and
taking the resulting aqueous ethylene-vinyl alcohol
copolymer composition that contains from 0 to 10 parts by
weight of the alcohol and from 10 to 1000 parts by weight
of water, relative to 100 parts by weight of the ethylene-vinyl
alcohol copolymer therein, (step 1), and a step of
feeding the aqueous ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer
composition into an extruder, kneading it in melt therein,
and then extruding the copolymer out of the extruder (step

Abstract: Coding, transcoding and iterative filtering methods and apparatus are described
using a concept of a 2D FIFO to implement a CACLA processing. The processing
methods are block-oriented. A block-by-block processed input image or input coded
image which is delayed in an arbitrary number of lines and columns is provided, in such
a way that the output image is still produced in a block-by-block schedule, at a reduced
or minimal memory access and memory size cost. 
     A 2D FIFO, being memory-efficient (hence at a minimal memory (access and
size) cost) in image block coding and decoding applications is described. The 2D FIFO
is a device having an associated scheduling mechanism used for enabling delaying of a
block-by-block coded input signal such as an image (e.g. a JPEG, JPEG2000, MPEG-4
or similar image) in an arbitrary number of lines and columns, in such a way that the
output image is still produced in a block-by-block schedule. 
     The 2D FIFO tailored memory schedule mechanism can achieve the realignment
process at reduced or minimal memory (access and size) cost. The process is
functionally identical to delaying the rows and columns of the input image along a set of
horizontal and vertical FIFOs, except that the pixels remain clustered in blocks rather
than lines.

Abstract: A device for positioning a sheet-shaped material by providing a plurality of
pairs of pins on a conveying path. Printing plate precursors are classified, on the
basis of widths thereof, into large-sized and small-sized. Two pairs of positioning
pins are provided for each size, and are disposed so as to be offset in a direction of
conveying a printing plate precursor toward a rotating drum. A width of a small-sized
printing plate precursor is smaller than a pitch dimension of a pair of
positioning pins for large-sized printing plate precursors. Therefore, the small-sized
printing plate precursor abuts and is positioned by positioning pins for
small-sized printing plate precursors which are provided further ahead. Moreover,
a large-sized printing plate precursor directly abuts and is positioned by the
positioning pins for large-sized printing plate precursors, so as not to be interfered
with by the positioning pins for small-sized printing plate precursors.

Abstract: An engine including a recirculation passage, which connects an exhaust passage to an intake passage, and an EGR valve arranged in the recirculation passage. An electronic control unit (ECU) obtains a target opening degree of the EGR valve in accordance with an operating state of the engine and controls the EGR valve so that the opening degree of the EGR valve becomes equal to the obtained target opening degree. When opening the EGR valve from a fully closed state, the ECU restricts the opening degree of the EGR valve to a restricted opening degree that is smaller than the target opening degree during a predetermined delay time before actuating the EGR valve to the target opening degree. This prevent exhaust gas from being excessively recirculated to the intake passage even if the difference between the exhaust pressure and the intake pressure is too large when starting EGR.

Abstract: Multiple Views of an Industrial Plant are graphically displayed and viewed. A graphical user interface displays the views in corresponding panes or windows of the graphical user interface. The views, being graphical representations of systems of the Industrial Plant, are coupled by a coupler according to a predetermined relationship between the underlying systems of the Industrial Plant represented by the coupled views. The coupler automatically refocuses the panes to display different views of the Industrial Plant based on a selection of an object in any of the panes or on a manual refocus of one view and on the predetermined relationship for coupling the views. The Coupled views represent different domains of the Industrial Plant or Industrial Network e.g. real-time monitoring and operation, configuration, debugging, maintenance, scheduling, asset management, documentation, training, simulation, physical construction, material flow monitoring, programming, interconnecting function blocks, performance analysis. The analysis may be provided at different points in time (now, past, predicted future) and with a different spatial focus (parts, whole). Coupling different views greatly reduces handling effort for building and operating Industrial Plants.
