Abstract: A tread pattern of a pneumatic tire is formed by arranging lateral grooves (3a, 3b, 3c) in a tread and combining at least two kinds of pitch segments having different pitch lengths (P₁, P₂, P₃) in the ciricumferential direction of the tread and each having a negative ratio of 25-55%. In this tread pattern, a distance (R) from the tire center to a land surface at a tire section in the circumferential direction under inflation of air pressure is made longer as the pitch length in the pitch segment becomes shorter.

Abstract: In a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus, when the reproduced audio data is processed in the reproduction system and the record system and is re-recorded in every cycle of N times the cycle during which the reproducing magnetic head scans a pair of recording tracks, the recording magnetic head is positioned behind the reproducing magnetic head for 8.5 + 4N track pitch so that the reproduced audio data can be re-recorded on the original recording track, therefore a write-after-read processing can be realized. 
     Further, in the recording magnetic head positioned behind the reproducing magnetic head for the specific track pitch, the audio data is stored in a memory circuit for time base compression or expansion with a multichannel mode such as to record the reproduced audio data at the same part on the magnetic tape, so that a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus which enables to perform the write-after-read processing can be obtained with simple construction if the number of channel is switched. 
     Furthermore, the 2 n  channel audio data is recorded by interleave processing in every cycle of N times the cycle forming a pair of recording tracks, so that even when the cycle during which a pair of recording track is formed is not kept to a multiple of integer of sampling cycle, a magnetic recording apparatus and a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus which record and reproduce a plurality of channel audio data can be provided.

Abstract: An extension module 40 is provided for tandem connection to a base circuit card 1 having an external sheet material jacket 4 girding said card. The module includes a module housing 4a, 4b and a pair of spaced apart parallel support fingers 45 extending from the housing. The outer sides of said support fingers are configured for slidable insertion into corresponding spaced apertures 50 in the rearward end of the base circuit card to engage inner surfaces of the jacket adjacent opposite side edges of the jacket of the card. An electrical connector 49 is located between the support fingers and is adapted for mating connection with a corresponding electrical connector 3 located at the rearward end of the base circuit card, when the extension module is connected to the base circuit card. When the extension module is connected to the base circuit card by substantially full insertion of the support fingers into the base circuit card the engagement of said jacket embracing the fingers rigidly joins the extension module to the base card to form an integral extended circuit card.

Abstract: A depilating device has a housing (10) with a top opening (23) and a plucking head (40) with a longitudinal axis. The plucking head (40) carries a series of pinching elements (43,44) arranged in side-by-side relations to form therebetween gaps. At least one (44) of the adjacent pinching elements is movable relative to the other (43) in a direction of successively opening and closing said gaps so as to entrap and pinch the hairs between the adjacent pinching elements for plucking the hairs from the skin. The plucking head (40) is disposed to expose the pinching elements (43,44) in the top opening. A skin guide (30) is disposed around the plucking head (40) within the opening (23) to be exposed at least partially beyond the pinching elements (43,44) for sliding contact with the skin. The device is characterized in that the plucking head (40) and the skin guide (30) are floatingly supported to the housing (10) by means of a common structure such that they are capable of being depressed together into the housing (10) within a predetermined extent. Because of the common supporting structure, the plucking head (40) and the skin guide (30) can be depressed to the same extent, i.e, pressed evenly against the skin. Whereby, the skin guide (30) can well prevent the plucking head (40) from being over-pressed against the skin, which avoids the otherwise lowering of the plucking speed, thus assuring effective plucking operation without irritating the skin.

Abstract: A switched reluctance motor controller derives an error signal from the difference between a phase winding current reference and the phase winding current. The error signal is applied to a pair of hysteresis circuits which define adjacent hysteresis bands above and below the reference current. The outputs of the hysteresis circuits are received by control logic which permits current to be applied to the phase winding when the current is below the hysteresis bands, removes current from the phase winding when the current is above the hysteresis bands and allows the phase winding current to freewheel when the current is between the upper and lower hysteresis limits.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a power steering device which is low in cost, is high in reliability, and can be incorporated into a steering mechanism as a part which does not cooperate with but is constructively independent of other vehicle parts. In the present invention, the number of revolutions of the motor 10 for rotating an oil pump 7 is controlled by a driving control circuit 12. The driving control circuit 12 compares a signal from a trigger signal output device 24 which is constituted by a torque sensor, a sensor for detecting a relative angle of rotation between an input axis and an output axis which are connected to each other by a torsion bar, or a hydraulic sensor in a power cylinder 1, and the like with a reference value in comparators 22 and 23. By the results of the comparison, the opening or closing of switches S1 and S2 is controlled, to gradually switch a voltage applied to the motor 10. The driving control circuit 12 can be constructed at low cost by simple hardware, whereby a power steering device can be thus constructed as a reliable and constructively independent unit.

Abstract: The control system for a print machine, especially an offset litho machine having a single revolution angle encoder or sensor uses this sensor to control the main operation. The angle sensor determines the plate cylinder position, for example to position for exchange of the plate. So as to position the plate cylinder (P) sensors (SR) are fixed to scan markings on the cylinder, and connected to the control unit (S). The command angle is stored for the desired position, and a difference is calculated between the command angle and the detected angle from the sensor for cylinders not in position to generate a new command angle.
