Abstract: A text input device for attachment to a game controller includes a small-sized
housing, upper and lower faces, a plurality of text entry keys disposed on the upper face, and
an attachment interface disposed on the lower face. A bracket for attaching the text input
device to a game controller includes an arm portion having first and second ends. An
attachment plate is fixed to the first end and has at least one engaging member protruding
therefrom and engaging the attachment interface of the text input device. The bracket further
includes at least one retaining member protruding from the second end in a position such that,
when the attachment plate is coupled to a first part of a game controller and the retaining
member is in contact with a second part of the game controller, a force is applied to a face of
the retaining member by the second part of the game controller so as to maintain the coupling
of the attachment plate to the game controller first part. The attachment plate engaging
member is non-destructively disengagable from the attachment interface of the text input
device, and is subsequently re-engagable so as to permit subsequent non-destructive
disengagement.

IPC: B05D3/04

Abstract: In the first section of a drying unit all contaminants of low molecular and inhibiting components of the applied material are removed from the polymer or polymer mixture in a convection air flow. The convection zone may be operated either below, at or above room temperature. Forced convection produces high air flow rates which have a maximum at the point at which the applied plastic starts to be blown off. Removal of contaminants is effected by high air turbulence at the surface of the plastic coating. Arrangement of nozzles in relation to the material strip and the nozzle shape for producing maximum turbulence is initially simulated on a personal computer before applying in practice. Turbulent air flow is created either against, with or perpendicular to the material strip movement. Nozzle angle may be continuously varied during the process. Air flow is sucked away immediately after striking the strip. For maximum turbulence nozzles have a convex air inlet and outlet. Vertically adjustable thin plates maintain turbulence in the convection zone. Contaminant extraction may performed on both in-line and off line processes. The nozzles can be a continuous slit nozzle or individually adjustable nozzles over the whole length of the convection zone. For hardening the plastic film, the convection zone may be combined with a suspended dryer or the latter may be located before the convection zone. Cross-linking of plastic films may be enhanced using energy intensive emitters such as UV(ultra-violet) or IR (infra red). Cross-linking of plastic or silicone commences in a zone in which all or most inhibitors have been removed.

Abstract: To provide a bicycle shift controller (9) for shift control according to riding conditions
wherein unintended upshift during sudden acceleration of the bicycle can be avoided. 
     Shift control portion (25) performs shift control of an internal shift hub (10) having a plurality
of gear speeds and able to be upshifted by means of a shift motor (29); if riding condition
sensor results exceed the upshift threshold value for the current gear speed, a decision is
made as to whether a plurality of subsequent riding condition sensor results also exceed the
upshift threshold value, and when it is determined that all riding condition sensor results
exceed the upshift threshold value, actuating means is controlled so that shifting to a higher
gear speed takes place. However, if during the riding condition decision process, of two
successive sensor results, the latter sensor result changes by a more than a predetermined
value toward the upshift end from the former sensor result, the preceding decision is canceled.

Abstract: A baking method for heating an object (an inner pipe 1, an outer pipe 2) having
a vacuum layer formed therein to remove gas molecules occluded in the object, wherein
the object itself is made to be a heat production element for heating. By making the
baking object a heat production element, the object can be heated directly and the
heating can be energy-efficient. Moreover, additional heating means such as a heater
or gas is unnecessary, which enables simplification of a configuration of a baking device.
Therefore, a baking method is obtained which enables energy-efficient heating and, in
particular, uniform heating of a long or large object.
