Abstract: Magnetic recording device and method are provided. The magnetic recording device includes a shaping driver for positive and negative signals whose polarities are reversed, corresponding to the digital information, a push-pull portion (14) for generating a recording current corresponding to the positive and negative signals and generating a transient pulse current during reversal of the polarity of the recording current, and a current switch (12) for switching a current flowing through the push-pull portion in response to the positive and negative signals. The digital signal is recorded on the magnetic recording medium on the basis of the transient pulse current. Therefore, without an additional recording equalizer, rise characteristics of a head current is improved and the demand of small-size and low-power is satisfied. In addition, since the magnetic recording device employs a compensation signal generator (20) for compensating for a variation of the instantaneous value of a recording current caused by use of a rotary transformer, rise characteristics of the recording current during switching the polarity of the recording current can be maintained to be stable.

Abstract: A connecting structure for a head holder and ink cartridge assures proper positioning of the cartridge and avoids damaging ink supply components. The ink cartridge defines a protrusion distance for a grip section of a cartridge, which protrudes outward from the rear surface of the ink container. The protrusion distance is larger than a protrusion distance of an ink supply member of a head holder, which protrudes from the inner surface of the front wall. Also, the height from a surface of a bottom wall in the head holder to the bottom edge of the grip section is larger than a height from a surface of the bottom wall to a top edge of the ink supply member. The inner wall surface of a pair of mutually opposite side walls is formed, integrally continuing from the opening of the ink container in each cartridge. Also, the wall thickness of the upper section is smaller than that of the upper section. The width of the upper section is larger than the width of the lower section. Thus, each cartridge can only is mounted in a cartridge mounting section provided between partition walls, which are formed on the bottom plate of the head holder through the lower section of the ink container.

Abstract: The initial steps in photosynthesis are the conversion of light energy into chemical energy. This conversion is performed by the multisubunit protein-pigment complexes of the thylakoid membranes. Oxygen-evolving photosystems contain photosystem I (PSI) and photosystem II (PSII), which act in tandem. In PSII, the majority of light-adsorbing chlorophylls are attached to LHCII, the light harvesting complex associated with this photosystem. LHCII is the most abundant member of the family of chlorophyll  a/b  binding (CAB) proteins. A gene encoding a type I chlorophyll  a/b  binding protein of LHCII (ICABPSII) has been cloned from  Brassica napus  L. An anti-sense RNA of this gene has been used to reduce the amount of chlorophyll  a/b  binding protein and thus reduce the amount of chlorophyll in the resulting transgenic plants. By using "site" specific promoters the reduction of chlorophyll can be targeted to specific organelles in the transgenic plant and thus can be used to reduce the green colour at these sites. Thus it is possible to use the anti-sense RNA of a chlorophyll  a/b  binding protein as a means for degreening, for example fruits, seeds or floral parts in transgenic plants.

Abstract: In an automatic transmission, a small-capacity second
clutch that does not engage for reverse drive is mounted
forward of a counter drive gear, and the other engaging
elements of relatively larger capacity, that is, first and
third clutches and first to third brakes, are disposed
rearward of the counter drive gear, so that an axially
extending space is formed between the counter drive gear and
the second clutch, which space is utilized to accommodate a
parking gear. Such an arrangement of engaging elements
allows the counter shaft to be placed closer to the input
shaft without the parking gear interfering with the second
clutch, thereby enabling a more compact automatic
transmission. Furthermore, since there is no need to
relocate the counter drive gear rearward, the length of the
counter shaft can be reduced, thereby enabling still greater
compactness.
