A substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt represented by the following general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein A is CH or N; when A is CH, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be either each independently a member selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or substituted alkyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl groups, and unsubstituted or substituted phenyl groups; when A is N, R.sub.1 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, R.sub.2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, or an unsubstituted or substituted alkoxy group; and X and Y are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkoxy groups, is disclosed. This compound is useful as the effective ingredient of a herbicide showing a wide weed-control spectrum even if used in a small amount.

A distance measurement device includes a light projection unit for projecting light towards plural objects in different areas of a scene to measure respective distances to the objects. A photo-sensing unit receives reflected light from the different areas of the scene. Also provided is a processing unit which has a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is for measuring the respective distances to the objects based on a first photo-sense output of the photo-sensing unit corresponding to light projected to the different areas of the scene and reflected by the objects. The second mode is for judging, based on a second photo-sense output of the photo-sensing unit corresponding to light projected to a specific area and reflected by at least one of the objects, whether the at least one object is located outside of a distance measuring area within which a distance to the at least one object can be measured using the first mode. A selecting unit selects one of the first and second modes such that the first and second modes operate independently of each other.

A camera includes an abnormal state detecting circuit for detecting an abnormal state of the camera, a counter for counting the number of times for which the abnormal state of the camera is detected by the abnormal state detecting circuit, and a setting instruction circuit for setting the camera into an operation inhibiting mode in response to a counted value of the counter when the abnormal state of the camera has been detected by the abnormal state detecting circuit a predetermined plural number of times.

A soft magnetic material includes a plurality of composite magnetic particles (40) each including a metal magnetic particle (10) and an insulation coating (20) covering the surface of the metal magnetic particle (10), wherein the insulation coating (20) contains Si (silicon), and 80% or more of Si contained in the insulation coating constitutes a silsesquioxane skeleton. Therefore, it is possible to effectively decrease a hysteresis loss while suppressing an increase in eddy-current loss.

The present invention makes it possible to print a good quality image even if ink is ejected abnormally from a nozzle. To attain this, when there is an abnormal nozzle (N) exhibiting an abnormal ink ejection state, the printing data corresponding to the abnormal nozzle (N) is added to the printing data corresponding to neighboring nozzles (N−1) and (N+1) arranged in the neighborhood of the abnormal nozzle (N). In this way, the printing data corresponding to the abnormal nozzle (N) can be compensated.

The invention is directed to an electroluminescent display device in which a first planarization insulating film need not be used so that a manufacturing cost reduces, and a display defect caused by a cut in an organic EL layer or moisture absorption at a step portion is prevented. An R color filter layer, a G color filter layer, and a B color filter layer are so formed that end portions of the adjacent R, G, and B color filter layers overlap each other. The R color filter layer, the G color filter layer, and the B color filter layer serve as a first planarization insulating film. For planarization, the end portions of the color filter layers overlap each other. For reducing a step height of an overlapping portion, the end portions of the color filters are formed in a tapered shape.

An ignition control apparatus for an engine; in particular, an engine having two or more igniter plugs per cylinder energized by a electric power source, comprises a voltage detector for detecting a voltage of the electric power source, and a controller configured to effect initial combustion using both igniter plugs, to determine whether the voltage is lower than a first threshold voltage, and to effect further combustion using one of the igniter plugs when the voltage detected by the voltage detector is determined to be lower than the first threshold voltage.

A four stroke engine has a camshaft driven by a crankshaft. A decompression member is disposed on the camshaft. The decompression member is movable between a decompression position and a non-decompression position. A portion of the decompression member generally places the valve at an open position when the decompression member is placed at the decompression position and releases the valve from the open position when the decompression member is placed at the non-decompression position. A regulating member is disposed on the camshaft. The regulating member regulates the decompression member to prevent movement of decompression member from the decompression position when the regulating member is placed at a first position. The regulating member releases the decompression member from the decompression position when the regulating member is placed at a second position. A bias member is arranged to urge the regulating member toward the first position. The regulating member is movable toward the second position against the urging force of the bias member when a rotational speed of the camshaft exceeds a predefined speed.
