Abstract: A portion 23 of a cylindrical member 3 projecting from a front end 4a of a
plug body 4 has outside diameter D2, which is defined as a smaller diameter than a
portion of the metallic, cylindrical member which is fixedly disposed within the
metallic, cylindrical plug body (a large-diameter portion 33 of the cylindrical
member 3). A front-end-oriented end face 3t is formed in a diameter transition
region where the outside diameter changes between the two diameters. In a
mounting bore formed in a cylinder head, bore diameter D3 of a dead end portion,
against which the front end 4a of the body 4 is pressed, is rendered smaller than
outside diameter D1 of a large-diameter portion 33 of the cylindrical member 3.
Since the dead end portion prevents movement of the cylindrical member 3, even
when the cylindrical member 3 comes off the body 4, the member 3 does not drop
into the interior of an engine.

Abstract: The present invention provides an optical transmission system that enables high-speed transmission of 40 Gb/s with low residual dispersion while maintaining the yield of a dispersion compensating fiber. In the present invention, the dispersion compensating fiber is connected to each span of an optical fiber for transmission. One set of an optical transmission path is formed by this optical fiber for transmission and the dispersion compensating fiber, and this one set of optical transmission path is connected in multiple stages and connected to a transmitter and a receiver. By setting the conditions of dispersion compensation in each span comparatively leniently, managing the residual dispersion of each transmission span, and suitably arranging each transmission span, an optical transmission system is composed in which adequate dispersion compensation is performed over the entire optical transmission path.

Abstract: In a structure of mounting a wheel cap (C) to a wheel, a plurality
of pairs of support plates (4) are projectingly provided on an inner
wall of the wheel cap made of a synthetic resin and arranged
annularly so that the support plates in each pair are opposed to
each other in a circumferential direction. A pair of elastic
support legs (5) extending from opposed surfaces of the support plates
in each pair are integrally connected to each other to form a
V-shape. A locking claw (6) is formed on a connection between the
support legs and capable of being engaged into a locking recess
in an inner peripheral surface of a rim of the wheel. An annular
setting spring (9) is connected to the locking claws for biasing the
locking claws in a direction to come into engagement in said locking
recess. Thus, it is possible to form each of the support legs
supporting each of the locking claws sufficiently long to enhance
the flexibility of the support leg, thereby improving durability
of the support legs and mounting property of the wheel cap.

Abstract: A method of forming an air gap (26) or gaps within solid structures and specifically
semiconductor structures to reduce capacitive coupling between electrical elements such as
metal lines, wherein a norbornene-type polymer is used as a sacrificial material (20) to
occupy a closed interior volume in a semiconductor structure. The sacrificial material (20) is
caused to decompose into one or more gaseous decomposition products which are
removed, preferably by diffusion, through an overcoat layer (24). The decomposition of the
sacrificial material leaves an air gap or gaps (26) at the closed interior volume previously
occupied by the norbornene-type polymer. The air gaps may be disposed between electrical
leads to minimize capacitive coupling therebetween.

Abstract: A vehicle driveline component temperature control assembly utilizes compressed
air (40) or another fluid to cause air flow across an external portion of the driveline
component (22). The airflow facilitates heat transfer or heat dissipation from within the
driveline component to assist in maintaining the temperature of the component within an
acceptable range. A supply of compressed air or other fluid communicates with at least
one discharge device supported on an external housing of the driveline component. The
discharge device includes at least one manifold (50) having at least one opening (52) through
which the compressed air is delivered to create an airflow across the external surface of
the housing. In one example, each discharge device comprises multiple, generally C-shaped
manifolds that are secured in place and supported on the external surface of the
housing. The inventive arrangement is particularly useful for off-highway vehicle
driveline components such as axle and wet disc brake assemblies.
