Abstract:
A differential for a wheeled motor vehicle comprises a differential gear unit, and a differential case for housing therein the differential gear unit. The differential case is rotatable about its rotation axis in normal and reverse directions at a position above an oil level of a lubricating oil. The differential case includes a portion having an oil inlet opening formed therethrough, the oil inlet opening communicating the interior of the differential case with the outside of the same; and an oil dipping up structure that dips up the lubricating oil to force the same to enter the interior of the differential case through the oil inlet opening when the differential case rotates about the rotation axis.

Abstract:
An image reading apparatus of the present invention converts respective pixel signals outputted from first, second and third shift registers to pixel data in an analog frontend IC and outputs pixel data as a serial data stream in a predetermined pattern. The address setting unit repeats add and subtract operation to the initial value according to the output pattern of the pixel data from the analog frontend IC to calculate pixel positions of the respective pixel data, and sets memory addresses corresponding to the pixel positions as destination memory addresses of the pixel data in an address register RR. The memory writing control unit writes the pixel data obtained from the analog frontend IC via a data sampling control unit in areas in the memory which correspond to the destination memory addresses. As a result, the amount of memory necessary for storing the pixel data can be reduced, and sorting operation of the pixel data can be executed with fewer memory access times.

In the step of removing the photo-resist film formed on a substrate, dry ice particles, with a predetermined particle size, are blasted onto the photo-resist film at a predetermined pressure in a state of heating the substrate at room temperature or higher, such as 30 to 200° C., preferably at about 100° C.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing the power consumption associated with the capacitance of sections of a multiplexer are disclosed. At each cycle, a timing signal is selectively sent only to sections of the multiplexer that include active logic. A plurality of control signals is received for processing by a corresponding plurality of input selection circuits. A plurality of additional inputs corresponding to the plurality of input selection circuits may also be received. In one embodiment, each input selection circuit is configured to output a corresponding input signal if a corresponding control signal is asserted and a timing signal is made available to the input selection circuit. To avoid unnecessary power consumption associated with the capacitance of various portions of the multiplexer, the timing signal is only asserted to a portion of the multiplexer at any given clock cycle according to the values of the control signals.

A time correction system has a timepiece with pointers for displaying the time, and a correction instruction device. The correction instruction device has a timing section for timing reference time data, a time input section for inputting pointed time data corresponding to the time indicated by the pointers, a comparison section for comparing the reference time data and the pointed time data, and a communication section for outputting a correction instruction signal based on the results of this comparison to the pointer type timepiece. The pointer type timepiece has an external signal detection circuit for receiving the correction instruction signal, a drive control section for controlling the driving of the pointers, and a time correction control circuit for matching the readings of the pointers with the reference time data based on the received correction instruction signal.
