Abstract: A tile (1) for attaching a solar battery module (6) to the roof of a house comprises a substantially rectangular plate-like tile body (2). The upper surface (1a) of the tile body (2) has a plurality of projecting portions (7) and a plurality of depressed portions (8) alternately extending over the entire length of the tile in a direction of inclination of the inclined roof. The upper surface (1a) of the tile body (2) also has a recess (4) formed therein for receiving the solar battery module (6). The recess (4) is formed by partially cutting out the projecting portions (7) of the tile body (2). Further, the recess (4) has a bottom portion (4a) to be brought into contact with the reverse surface of the solar battery module (6). The bottom portion (4a) is at a lower level than the projecting portions (7) and at a higher level than the depressed portions (8). The recess (4) also has a plurality of stop portions (4b) to be brought into contact with edge portions of the solar battery module (6) to hold them.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification apparatus (60) estimates
the amount (sNox) of NOx stored in a NOx catalytic converter
(49) arranged in an exhaust passage (48) of an engine (2),
based on an operating state of the engine. When the amount
of stored NOx is greater than a predetermined storage limit
(NoxCAP), the concentration of fuel in the air fuel mixture
is increased so that the fuel concentration becomes higher
than that of a stoichiometric mixture in order to reduce the
amount of stored NOx. The apparatus includes a fuel cutting
means (60, 22) that cuts
the supply of fuel to the engine based on the operating
state of the engine. A stored NOx reduction means (60, 22,
46) temporarily increases the
fuel concentration of the air fuel mixture so that the fuel
concentration becomes higher than that of a stoichiometric
mixture at one point in a period from when the fuel cut is
terminated to just before the stored amount of NOx exceeds
the predetermined storage limit.

Abstract: An electrodialysis water splitting processes incorporates a chromatographic
separation step using an amphoteric ion exchange resin to remove contamination salts
from a salt solution feedstream (18) and a base product solution (36). When the
chromatographic column (20,30) is subsequently eluted with water an effective separation of
the components is achieved. The separated pure salt stream is forwarded to an
electrodialysis water splitter cell (24) for conversion to acid and base. The base product
solution (sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide) (36) may be similarly purified by passing
through a second chromatographic column (30) also containing an amphoteric resin to
separate the base from the salt (recovered salt). The process is also applicable in a
chlor-alkali process for acidifying the brine feed (82) to the electrolysis cell (80) and for producing
high purity caustic from salt.

Abstract: An executable program is prepared from a plurality of object
code modules, at least one of the object code modules
including section data specifying a plurality of code
sequences each associated with relocation instructions
identifying condition parameters. The executable program is
prepared by reading the relocation instructions and
determining for each condition parameter whether or not the
condition specified for that parameter is satisfied and on
the basis of that determination, selecting only one of the
code sequences for inclusion in the executable program. 
     A linker for preparing the executable program includes a
stack, a relocation module for reading the relocations and
carrying out the relocation operations, the relocation
module being responsive to a value recalled from the stack
to select one of the code sequences in dependence on the
value, a section data module for holding section data which
is subject to the relocation operations and a program
forming a module for preparing executable programs. The
linker may be controlled by a computer program in the form
of one of the object code modules. 
     Also disclosed is a method of assembling an object code
module such that the assembled object code module includes
the conditional code sequences.

Abstract: Hermetically sealed electrical leads emanating from the neck portion of a
conductive housing extend through a sleeve member that includes conductive and non-conductive
parts. The sleeve member is dimensioned to firmly engage the neck portion of
the housing. When so engaged, the electrical leads extend through longitudinal openings
in the non-conductive part. In that way, a substantial extent of the leads is shielded.
Moreover, the extent to which the leads can be laterally moved with respect to their
hermetic seals is thereby significantly restricted.

Abstract: When searching for information on a network such
as the Internet, retrieval of search results and
transfer of information are required. An information
transfer mechanism including a
retrieval mechanism is realized. A user mechanism
(102) converts numeric data indicating 'information'
into a uniquely corresponding information network
address, and transmits a packet storing the address to
the network (101). A relay mechanism (103) which has
received the packet determines the route to a host
(104) storing the information corresponding to the
information network address stored in it, and relays
the packet. Upon receipt of the returned packet from
the host (104), the relay mechanism (103) determines
the route to the user mechanism (102) corresponding to
the network address stored in the return packet, and
relays the return packet. Upon receipt of the return
packet from the relay mechanism 103), the user
mechanism (102) receives the information stored in the
return packet.

Abstract: A single step wet oxidation process for treating wastewaters containing organic
species, with or without heteroatoms, and anions of strong acids, e.g. sulfate or
phosphate ion, or cations of strong bases, e.g., sodium, potassium or calcium ions, and
which may contain ammonium ion and/or nitrate ion in addition to added ammonium ion
and/or nitrate ion was developed which on thermal treatment near the critical
temperature of water removes substantially all the COD and nitrogen through conversion
to water, carbon dioxide or carbonate species, nitrogen gas and small amounts of
nitrous oxide. Key to the success of the process is the balancing of all reducing species
with an equivalent amount of oxidizing species and the balancing of all strong acid
anions with strong base cations. The former ensures good removal of organic species,
ammonium ion and nitrate ion. The latter ensures maintaining the pH in the range of
from 1.5 to 8 thus avoiding severe corrosion problems and regions of pH where rate of
reaction of the oxidizing species with reducing\species is slow.

Abstract: A webbing retractor having a force limiter mechanism whose
energy absorption amount is large and which can reliably absorb
energy. To this end, a wire is provided as an energy absorbing
member (60) having a fixing portion (64), a curved portion (62) and a fit-in
portion (66). When a spool (20) rotates in a pull-out direction relative
to a lock base, the fit-in portion (66) is forcibly pulled-out from
a fit-in hole (56) and deformed while being strongly rubbed. Here, the
fit-in portion (66) deforms along an imaginary extended line of the
curved portion (62). Thus, breaking of the wire due to concentration
of shearing stress at one portion of the wire can be prevented.
Deformation load which is applied to the wire can be reliably
applied as force limiter load until a position of relative
rotation of the spool (20) with respect to the lock base which position
is set in advance.

Abstract: An error detection and correction scheme for automatic repeat request (ARQ) systems in
which multiple copies of a received data packet comprising a CRC field are compared to
each other to determine the non-unanimous bit positions. If the number of bit positions
thus determined lies under a threshold, tentative packets with all possible configurations
at the non-unanimous bit positions are tested on validity by CRC check. In order to
amount for the changes in the header fields between the multiple copies of a received data
packet, the CRC fiels are calculated before and after modifying the variable header fields
of at least some of multiple copies of said received data packets.
