Abstract: A device operable to allow sharing of a serial line (TX1-A,
RX1-A) of a microcontroller (A) of a panel (QB) of a vehicle
between a normal serial line (3), utilised during operation of
the vehicle, and a diagnosis serial line (FLT). This device
includes a multiplexer (7) operable to switch the input of the
serial line (TX1-A, RX1-A) of the microcontroller (A) between
the normal serial line (3) and the diagnosis serial line and
to connect the normal serial line to two input/output
terminals (IN, OUT) of the microcontroller (A) when the
terminals (TX1-A, RX1-A) of the serial line of the
microcontroller (A) are connected to the diagnosis serial line
(FLT).

Abstract: OBJECTIVE 
     To provide a method for repairing a sheet metal according which
a dented portion of a sheet metal can be easily and appropriately
pulled out with a minimal force and also to provide a tool which
has a simple structure and adapted to be used for said method. 
     STRUCTURE 
     An end of an operational shaft 1 having a given length serves
as a handle portion 2, and an arc electrode 3 is affixed to the other
end. A support stand 4 is attached to an end of the operational
shaft 1. The support stand 4 is comprised of a base 5 through which
the operational shaft 1 is inserted and affixed thereto, a leg
portion 6 extended from the base 5, and a seat portion 7 attached
to the lower end of the leg portion 6. With the configuration as
above, the arc electrode 3 is welded to a dented portion r of a sheet
metal while the seat portion 7 is in contact with the sheet metal
surface R, and the operation shaft 1 is tilted in that state, while
the seat portion 7 is pressed against the sheet metal surface R.
Thus, the dented portion r joined to the arc electrode 3 is pulled
out by leverage.

Abstract: The wheel hub is supported on bearings in an upright that is attached to the chassis of the vehicle by a transverse arm and the drive shaft. The upright fits inside the dish formed by the interior of the wheel. The bearing support is carried on a spring and damper and is free to move vertically along the upright. Vertical movement of the bearing support is controlled by an electric actuator to allow computer control of the operation of the suspension. The electric actuator may be a linear actuator or a rotating electric motor driving a rack gear attached to the bearing support. An electronic servo-system controls operation of the electric actuators.

Abstract: An automotive shock absorber (18) is fully enclosed within an air spring (16) consisting of a flexible rolling bellows (4) and roll piston (6). The inner chambers (12) (14) of the rolling bellows (4) and roll piston (6) are linked. In place of the conventional spring plate between the rolling bellows (4) and roll piston (6) there is a funnel-shaped insert (22) surrounding the shock absorber (18). It produces an annular jet constriction (24) between the shock absorber (18) wall and the inner surface of the runnel insert (22). The outer zone of the insert (22) has openings (26) which, like the constriction (24), creates a link between the rolling bellows (4) inner volume (12) and that (14) of the roll piston (6). During operation, the shock absorber circulates the air (30) along the shock absorber wall (18).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light transmission type powder and granular
measuring apparatus, comprising: two pieces of piping connected in such a manner to
branch a powder and granular material (P) flowing line into two directions at a divergence
point (A) and to join again at the confluence point (B), a valve (6a, 6b) which is installed
at the divergence point (A) and can be changed over to allow the powder and
granular material (P) to selectively flow in either one of the piping, and a light transmission
type cell (7) mounted to the midway of at least either one of the piping. Both the
condition in which the powder and granular material (P) is allowed to flow in the cell (7)
and the condition in which the powder and granular material (P) is not allowed to flow
in the cell (7) can be measured by changing over the valve (6a, 6b) without stopping the
flow of the powder and granular material (P).

Abstract: A disk recording/reproducing device includes a power
transmitting mechanism (7) which transmits movement of a pickup (4)
while engaging with the pickup, and a disk retaining mechanism (31)
which, in response to the movement of the pickup transmitted by
the power transmitting mechanism, retains a disk on a turntable or
releases retention of the disk. Radially inward movement of the
pickup causes the disk retaining mechanism to retain the disk on
the turntable, while radially outward movement of the pickup causes
the disk retaining mechanism to release retention of the disk. For
accomplishing the release of the retention of the disk upon the
radially outward movement of the pickup, an operation switching
mechanism is provided for changing a position of the power
transmitting mechanism to cause the power transmitting
mechanism to engage with the pickup upon the radially outward
movement of the pickup.
