Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electron emitting device (104) of the type having, on a substrate 1, an electroconductive thin film (3) with an electron-emitting region (2), connected to respective electrodes (4,5). The electroconductive film (3) is formed by spraying through a nozzle (33;131) a solution containing component elements of the electroconductive thin film (3) which is to be formed. Spraying is performed whilst an electrical potential difference (V) is produced between the electrodes (4,5), between the nozzle (131) and the substrate (1), or both. The effect is to improve adherence of the film (3) to the substrate (1) or substrate and electrodes (1,4,5). This method may be extended to the manufacture of an electron source (1,102-104) having an array of electron-emitting devices (104). <IMAGE>

Abstract: An audio information device has a memory (16) in which a variety of pre-recorded
program material is stored. A linking facility is provided connecting
audio data files. The links are context related; whilst the user is listening to a
first program, a display (38) is illuminated to indicate to the user that another
program is available with related content. The user then presses a key on a
keypad (44) to command play of the second, related file. Upon completion of
the second file, play of the first file is resumed at the point of interruption. An
alert bulletin facility is also provided whereby during listening to a first program,
upon receipt in real time of current news such as a traffic report, the current
news is played by interrupting the first program. At the conclusion of the

Abstract: Mercury in industrial gas (12) is reduced by inhibiting oxidation in the
absorber reaction tank (16) of a wet scrubber (14) so that sulfites in the wet scrubber
(14) are increased to enhance mercury removal from the industrial gas (12). By
controlling a rate of oxidation air (26) flow supplied to a wet scrubber slurry (34)
within the absorber reaction tank (16) at a reduced rate relative to that rate of
oxidation air flow required to achieve nominally 100% oxidation of the wet scrubber
slurry (34), the wet scrubber slurry (34) used to scrub the industrial gas (12) contains
a selected non-zero sulfite concentration sufficient to achieve greater mercury removal
from the industrial gas (12). The selected sulfite concentration in the wet scrubber
slurry (34) is preferably greater than about 0.3 millimoles/liter.

Abstract: A tilt steering apparatus has a pivot (15) fixed to, for
example, a pair of fixed side plates (4, 5) of a vehicle body.
The pivot (15) is inserted through a connection hole (14) provided
in a steering column (1). At the time of tilt adjustment,
the steering column (1) is swung around the pivot (15). In either
one of an inner peripheral surface of the connection hole
(14) and an outer peripheral surface of the pivot (15) opposite
thereto, a projection extending in a substantially circumferential
or axial direction is formed in contact with the other peripheral
surface. Consequently, the contact area between the
pivot (15) and the connection hole (14) is reduced, thereby reducing
friction therebetween. When the pivot (15) is pressed
into the connection hole (14), the projection is suitably
crushed, so that fitting between the pivot (15) and the connection
hole (14) is loosened, which is useful for the reduction
in the friction therebetween.

Abstract: A natural language-based interface data presentation system interfaces, for example, information visualization system interfaces, is realized by employing so-called open-ended natural language inquiries to the interface that translates them into database queries and a set of information to be provided to a user. More specifically, a natural language inquiry is translated to database queries by determining if any complete database queries can be formulated based on the natural language inquiry and, if so, specifying which complete database queries are to be made. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, knowledge of the information visualization presentation is advantageously employed in the interface to guide a user in response to the user's natural language inquiries. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, knowledge of the database and knowledge of the information visualization presentation are advantageously employed in the interface to guide a user in response to the user's natural language inquiries. In accordance with still another aspect of the invention, knowledge of the database, knowledge of the information visualization presentation and context information about the query dialogue are advantageously employed in the interface to guide a user in response to the user's natural language inquiries. In one or more first prescribed embodiments of the invention, the set of data presentation information can be in audio, visual, or both audio-visual form. In one or more other prescribed embodiments of the invention, the inquiry and data presentation information delivery process can be interactive between the user and the interface. In one or more still other prescribed embodiments of the invention, one or more modes of user-interface interaction can be utilized. These modes of interaction can include text, speech, point and click, or the like.
