摘要:
A spark plug for an internal combustion engine. The spark plug includes an insulator coated with glaze in an area extending from a head portion to a trunk portion of the insulator. Preferably, the glaze is prepared from B.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2 glass containing two or more oxides selected from the group consisting of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, Na.sub.2 O, CaO, ZnO, BaO, Li.sub.2 O and Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3. The glaze is prepared by dry-mixing a plurality of powder materials, melting the resultant mixture in water for vitrification, wet-powdering the resultant vitrification, and adding an organic binder to the resultant powder. The glaze is applied to the insulater and fired at a glost temperature of not more than 1150.degree. C. The Pb content of the glaze is not more than 10 wt. % in terms of PbO. Accordingly, even when a strong electric field is induced at the trunk portion of the insulator, the conversion of Pb to conductive substances is very little or zero. As a result, the flashover voltage between the terminal electrode and the metallic shell of the spark plug is less likely to decrease, thus preventing a spark failure of the spark plug.

An electronic device corrects its device side time with a time correction information supplied from outside the device. The electronic device includes a reception section and a time correction section. The reception section receives the time correction information. The time correction section judges whether the information is received during any correction inhibiting periods of the device side time, then either discards the time correction information if it is received during the correction inhibiting periods, or corrects the device side time with the time correction information if it is received other than the correction inhibiting periods.

An authentication method makes a personal identification when a plurality of operation target regions corresponding to a personal identification code are operated in a predetermined sequence. The authentication method judges whether or not a predetermined operation target region that is preset is operated in a preset operation direction or a preset operation angle, and confirms the personal identification based on a judgement result.

摘要:
In a spark plug, a resistor is placed between a terminal and a center electrode within a through hole of an insulator. The through hole of the insulator has a first portion which allows the center electrode to be inserted therethrough, and a second portion which is formed on a rear side of the first portion so as to be larger in diameter than the first portion and which accommodates the resistor therein, where the second portion is connected to the first portion via a connecting portion including a two- or more-stepped reduced-diameter portion. Then, an electrically conductive glass seal layer is placed at a position corresponding to the connecting portion between the resistor and the center electrode. When the glass seal layer is formed by filling electrically conductive glass powder and its heating and compression, the pressurizing cross-sectional area in the axial direction is reduced to an extent of diameter reduction by the reduced-diameter portion of the connecting portion, so that a sufficient compressing force can be ensured in the event that the pressurizing force is lost, for example, due to friction between the upper filler material (e.g., resistor material powder) and the wall surface of the through hole. By virtue of this arrangement, the sintering of the glass seal layer progresses sufficiently so that the burns of carbon in the glass seal portion and the oxidization of metal components become unlikely to occur. Thus, such trouble as increase in conduction resistance can be avoided over a long term.

A spark plug includes a cylindrical metallic shell having a shoulder portion, and a tubular insulator having a stepped portion which rests on the shoulder portion within the metallic shell. The insulator has a rear half made of aluminum oxide and a front half made of aluminum nitride, the rear half having a protrusion, while the front half having a housing, and tightly joining the protrusion within the housing. An overlapping portion of the protrusion and the housing is at least partly located in a plane which is perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the center electrode, the plane passing through the shoulder portion of the metallic shell.

The present invention is intended to speed up rendering that is performed in the course of displaying a document that contains both icons and characters. A character display device that displays a document containing both icons and characters includes: a searching unit that searches the position in the document where an icon appears, a counter unit that counts the number of characters which successively appear until the position where the icon appears searched by the searching unit; and a rendering unit that renders the same number of characters, which successively appear, as the number of characters counted by the counter after designating the attributes shared by the characters, and then renders the icon after designating the attributes of the icon.
