condensation water lasts for a longer period, and the long-term
reliability of air conditioner is enhanced. When moving
the air conditioner, it is easier to detach and attach the drain
cap. It includes a heat exchanger for exchanging heat with air,
a drain pan unit disposed in the lower direction of the heat
exchanger, a first discharge port and a second discharge port
disposed to communicate with the drain pan unit, a drain hose
connected to the first discharge port, and a drain cap disposed
in the second discharge port. The drain pan unit has a
function of receiving the dew condensation water generated from
the heat exchanger, and the drain cap is composed of a
hydrogenated polymer of copolymer including styrene group and
unsaturated hydrocarbon group. The hydrogenated polymer
of copolymer including styrene group and unsaturated
hydrocarbon group includes a hydrogenated polymer of
styrene-butadiene block copolymer or a hydrogenated polymer of

Abstract: A vehicle steering control system for conducting a steering assistance
control, in which it is determined whether the vehicle operator has the intention to drive the
vehicle by himself. This is done by discriminating the intention using the vehicle lateral
deviation (yd), the steering torque (τh) and the steering torque change (Δτh; S10-S14).
When it is discriminated that the vehicle operator does not have the intention in two or more
discriminations (S16), it is finally determined that the vehicle operator does not have the
intention and the vehicle operator is alerted and/or the steering assistance control is
discontinued (S20), thereby preventing the vehicle operator from depending on the steer
assist torque control excessively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for washing cloth items in an automatic washer is provided
wherein the automatic washer includes a wash basket defining a wash chamber and an
impeller located within the bottom of the wash chamber. The method includes loading cloth
items into the wash chamber and then supplying a quantity of wash liquid into the wash
chamber sufficient to moisten the cloth items but insufficient to cause the cloth items to lose
frictional engagement with the impeller as the impeller oscillates. The impeller is oscillated
to apply a drag force to the cloth items in contact with the impeller such that the cloth items in
contact with the impeller move angularly along an arc-like path. Angular movement of the
cloth items disposed along the bottom of the wash chamber beyond the outer periphery of the
impeller is impeded such that relative angular motion is created between the cloth items
disposed along the periphery of the impeller and the cloth items disposed immediately above
the impeller. Cloth items move radially inward along the impeller, move upwardly in the
center of the wash chamber, move radially outwardly along the top of the wash chamber and
move downwardly along the side wall of the wash chamber in a pattern which may be
referred to as an inverse toroidal rollover path or pattern. This inverse toroidal rollover
pattern is created by direct contact between the oscillating impeller and the cloth items
supported above the impeller.

Abstract: A uniplanar gradient coil assembly  (40)  generates substantially linear gradient magnetic
fields through an examination region  (14) . The gradient coil assembly  (40)  includes at least
a pair of primary uniplanar gradient coil sets  (40a, 40b)  and a pair of shield coil sets  (41a,

relative to the other gradient coil set such that the mutual inductance between the two is
minimized. Preferably, the coil sets  (40a, 40b, 41a, 41b)  are symmetric, such that the sweet
spot of each coil is coincident with the geometric centre of each coil. One primary
uniplanar gradient coil set  (40a)  is a high efficiency, high switching speed coil to enhance
performance of ultrafast magnetic resonance sequences, while the second primary uniplanar
gradient coil set  (40b)  is a low efficiency coil which generates a high quality gradient
magnetic field, but with slower switching speeds. By displacing one gradient coil set
relative to the other, mutual inductance is minimized, which maximizes peak gradient, rise
time, and slew rate, while dB/dt levels are minimized. In one embodiment, the uniplanar
gradient coil assembly  (40)  is housed within an interior of a couch  (30) .
