A track-seeking apparatus for an optical disk drive seeks a target track by counting track crossings according to a track-crossing signal. The track-seeking apparatus also has means for detecting the ID fields on the disk and substituting a simulated track-crossing signal for the track-crossing signal in these fields, thus enabling high-speed seeking without track-count errors.

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a film catalyst, including forming a catalyst layer on one side or each side of a base material to obtain a film catalyst, bending the film catalyst, and optionally cutting the film catalyst, wherein the bending step is conducted by bending the film catalyst with a bending tool composed of two gears that are oppositely arranged as meshing each other while a protective material having a compressibility of 40 to 95% is inserted between the catalyst layer of the film catalyst and the two gears.

A process for producing a cosmetic-impregnated sheet which comprises applying and infiltrating a cosmetic base to and into a base sheet having on the surface thereof a retentive sheet capable of absorbing and retaining the cosmetic base at a shear rate of 102 to 106 s−1, the cosmetic base being applied to and infiltrated into the retentive sheet of the base sheet, and the cosmetic base, when subjected to a steady shear deformation at a shear rate of 2 s−1 for 100 seconds followed by a steady shear deformation at a stepwise increased shear rate of 20 s−1, showing no shear stress growth or showing such a shear stress growth that the difference between the peak shear stress B at a shear rate of 20 s−1 and the equilibrium shear stress A at the same shear rate, B−A, is 20% or smaller of the equilibrium shear stress A in the transition between the two shear rates.

An exhaust-gas purifying apparatus includes a mantle, a support, and a catalytic layer. The support is disposed in the mantle, and is formed as at least one shape selected from the group consisting of cylinder shapes and corrugated shapes. The catalytic layer is loaded on at least one of the surfaces of the support. Moreover, the support includes at least two support elements disposed in the axial direction of the mantle, and the two support elements neighboring in the axial direction of the mantle are disposed out of phase with each other in the peripheral direction of the mantle. The exhaust-gas purifying apparatus shows not only an enhanced exhaust-gas purifying ability but also high misfire resistance.

An exhaust-gas purifying apparatus includes an outer cylinder, a plurality of cylinder-shaped supports, and a catalytic layer. The cylinder-shaped supports are disposed in the outer cylinder, and have an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface. At least two of the neighboring cylinder-shaped supports contact with each other with the outer peripheral surfaces. The catalytic layer is loaded on at least one of the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the cylinder-shaped supports. At least one of the cylinder-shaped supports has a ring-shaped cross-section with a cut-off, and is disposed in the outer cylinder in such an elastically deformed state that it expands in the centrifugal direction. Thus, the exhaust-gas purifying apparatus not only shows a high exhaust-gas purifying ability, but also is good in terms of the assemblage easiness. Moreover, the exhaust-gas purifying apparatus exhibits improved misfire resistance.
摘要:
Code patterns are first sorted in a codebook in order of power, and catalogued while preparing fixed parameters indicating a selection range size of the code patterns (not greater than values recordable in an analog flash memory), and a variable parameter indicating an offset amount of a selection range, from the leading edge of the codebook. When selecting a waveform, such selection is made from among the code patterns within the selection range, and the selection range is shifted to the optimal position by sequentially renewing the offset amount on the basis of a code number resulting from encoding of a preceding frame, and is then decided upon.

A catalyst for the purification of exhaust gases capable of maintaining excellent durability at elevated temperatures and preventing the formation of LaAlO.sub.3, comprises a support substrate, a catalyst carrier layer formed on the support substrate and catalyst ingredients carried on the catalyst carrier layer. The catalyst carrier layer comprises oxides of lanthanum and cerium in which the molar fraction of lanthanum atoms to the total rare earth atoms is 0.05 to 0.20, and the ratio of the member of the total rare earth atoms to the number of aluminum atoms is 0.05 to 0.25.
摘要:
The present invention provides a plate-shaped member holding system, which stably holds a plate-shaped member without damage during transportation.The plate-shaped member holding system includes a holder for holding a glass sheet as a plate-shaped member and a fixing member engageable with the holder. The holder includes a pair of retainers for clamping the plate-shaped member from both sides of a front side and a rear side thereof, a pair of supports for supporting the retainers, and a coupler for coupling the paired supports. When the holder is engaged with an engagement recess formed in the fixing member with the plate-shaped member being disposed between the paired supports, the holder utilizes the weight of the plate-shaped member to generate pressing forces in directions to bring the paired retainers much closer to each other so as to firmly clamp and stably holds the plate-shaped member by the paired retainers.
