A piezoelectric thin-film resonator includes a supporting substrate. A piezoelectric thin-film is formed on the supporting substrate. A lower electrode and an upper electrode are formed with the piezoelectric thin-film therebetween. The stiffness of at least one of the lower and upper electrodes is higher than that of the piezoelectric thin-film.

In an exhaust control valve having a valve housing and a valve body rotatably contained in the valve housing, a transmission member is fitted to an outer end of the valve shaft and protrudes from the outside of the valve housing. A bearing bushing for rotatably bearing an external circumferential surface of the valve shaft by its internal circumferential surface and rotatably bearing an end face of the valve body by its end face is mounted in the valve housing. The valve body is urged by load from a thrust spring for achieving a pressure contact seal condition between the opposed end faces of the bearing bush and the valve body.

The present invention provides an external therapeutic composition for dermatitis comprising an aqueous solution including a therapeutically effective amount of an adrenal cortical steroid, a cyclodextrin, polysaccharides, and a carrier such as water, prepared by clathrating the adrenal cortical steroid in the cyclodextrin using a homomixer to form a clathrate, and adding the clathrate to an aqueous solution of polysaccharides, while being stirred uniformly, to dissolve the clathrate in the aqueous solution, as well as a method for the treatment of dermatitis in a mammalian subject, which comprises administering to said subject a therapeupically effective amount of the external therapeutic composition for dermatitis described above. The external therapeutic composition for dermatitis according to the present invention is extremely safe and can cure dermatitis such as an atopic dermatitis or the like without side effects.

A magnetostrictive brake is provided with an electrically-driven actuator for moving friction materials back and forth toward a rotary member by utilizing a magnetostrictive element which extends and contracts by means of magnetostriction, a fluid-type displacement enlarging mechanism which is provided between the magnetostrictive element and the friction materials and used for enlarging the displacement of the magnetostrictive element and transmitting the enlarged displacement to the friction materials, and bias magnetic field applying means for applying a bias magnetic field to the magnetostrictive element.
摘要:
A method of recovery of furnace gas energy for use to recover excess gas energy from a single or a plurality of furnace gas energy recovering plants each including an expansion turbine mounted in each exhaust system of each blast furnace. In one embodiment, excess gas beyond the power of the respective expansion turbine to recover is removed from each exhaust system of each blast furnace concerned through a branch line, and the removed excess gas is introduced into another expansion turbine through a pressure control valve, to thereby recover the energy possessed by the excess gas. In another embodiment, excess gas is removed through a branch line from each exhaust system of each plant having excess gas beyond the power of the respective expansion turbine to recover mounted in each blast furnace, and the removed excess gas is introduced through a pressure control valve and a flow distribution valve into at least one plant having reserve in the furnace gas energy recovering capacity to thereby recover the energy possessed by the excess gas.The pressure control valve is regulated by pressure control valve regulating means having the functions of furnace gas pressure control and backflow prevention.

One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for user to vehicle interaction are provided herein. A touchpad can include sensing areas and contoured edges. The sensing areas and contoured edges can be configured to receive inputs. These inputs can be routed to user interface (UI) applications. Additionally, aspects of the UI application can be displayed. Because portions of the touchpad can be contoured, a user or driver can keep their eyes on the road while operating the vehicle, rather than looking away from the windshield or road toward an instrument display. In one or more embodiments, hints related to one or more of the UI applications can be provided to alert a user that potential inputs may be used or that additional features may be available. In this manner, safer driving may be promoted by mitigating how often a driver looks away from the road.
摘要:
Upon start of processing, a digital broadcast receiver can acquire a CDN configuration information file (XML) after newly connected to a CDN by a user's operation. Next, the digital broadcast receiver acquires a PF configuration information file written in the CDN configuration information. The digital broadcast receiver judges whether there is an IP broadcast or not. If there is an IP broadcast, the digital broadcast receiver connects to a multicast address described in the PF configuration information file (XML), and acquires information on all channels in the PF from a SI dedicated stream (all station SI including no video or audio) (channel scan). The URL of a SNTP is described in the CDN configuration information file. Time information is acquired through the SNTP at the same time as (or at a timing near the timing of, such as immediately before or immediately after) the channel scan. The above processing enables easy time acquisition which is a problem peculiar to an IPTV with which viewing of an IP broadcast is possible.
