An object is to provide a milk foamer capable of smoothly and securely managing hygiene of a suction tube which sucks milk from a milk storage section. The milk foamer sucks the milk from a milk pack via the suction tube and mixes the milk and air with the milker to produce milk foam. The milk foamer includes a control unit which controls the production of the milk foam, and a cleaning unit which executes a cleaning operation of a route extending from the suction tube to the milker. The control unit prohibits the production of the milk foam and instructs the cleaning unit to execute the cleaning operation, in a case where a predetermined time elapses from the previous production of the milk foam.

An apparatus for serving a hot beverage prepared by extraction capable of serving the beverage kept at high temperature is provided. A plate for radiating far-infrared rays is provided facing the extraction chamber with a predetermined distance separating each other. The plate heated by a heater radiates far-infrared rays, whereby the extraction chamber is heated by the far-infrared rays, thereby serving of a hot extracted beverage is facilitated. In another embodiment, fans for exhaling steam are provided separately for a receiver for receiving the raw material and hot water and for a mixing bowl for mixing additives such as sugar, milk, etc., thereby serving of a hot extracted beverage is facilitated. In still further embodiment, the extraction chamber for mixing the raw material with hot water and extracting a beverage from the mixture is contained in a case the inside of which is heated by a heater, and a steam exhaling tube is provided which has an inlet communicated with the receiving chamber and an outlet at a predetermined position inside the case, thereby serving of a hot extracted beverage is facilitated.

A diffuser is provided on a beverage supply tube having a beverage supply valve. Air bubbles formed in the beverage in the final stage of filtration for extraction are removed from the beverage, and only the gas is passed through the beverage supply tube, whereby the tube is air-blown. Thereafter, the beverage remaining in the diffuser is drained through a drain tube. A pair of electrodes are provided on the beverage supply tube which leads the extracted beverage to the serving cup portion, in order to detect the presence and absence of the beverage based on the conduction caused by the beverage between the electrodes. An air pipe for supplying air to the extraction chamber from an air pump is provided with a branch, and a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure within the extraction chamber during the filtration is attached to the branch. The on/off duty ratio of the air pump is controlled based on a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, so as to control the pressure within the extraction chamber below a predetermined pressure.

Cups stored in the automatic vending machine are released and dropped from a cup supply unit to a cup holding unit one at a time and drink is injected thereinto as selected by a customer. The cup holding unit holding the cup filled with drink is transported approximately horizontally by a front/back cup transport unit to a vertical cup transport unit. As the vertical cup transport unit lifts the cup upward, the vending door is opened to expose to the customer the upper portion of the cup out of the cup outlet, as if the cup were sitting on a counter table in the front of the vending machine.

A suspension system for an automotive vehicle employs a active suspension control feature for actively controlling the suspension characteristics according to the vehicle driving condition. Active suspension control is performed by adjusting offset of a gravity center for adjusting load distribution at respective vehicular wheels. The load distribution is adjusted so that the suspension characteristics can be changed to over-steer characteristics when the vehicle speed demand is higher than a given level so as to allow drift of the vehicle at a corner. In order to assure driving stability, the suspension system is further adjusted to suppress vehicular rolling during drift of the vehicle.

A suspension system consists of a suspension rod interposed between a vehicle body side member and a wheel side member to elastically connect them. The suspension rod includes a first elastomeric member connected to the vehicle body side member and defining a first fluid chamber. A second elastomeric member is provided in the suspension rod structure to be connected to the wheel side member, defining a second fluid chamber. The first and second fluid chambers are communicated with each other through a fluid communication passage. An incompressive fluid is filled in the first and second fluid chambers and in the fluid communication passage, thereby constituting a fluid dynamic damper for suppressing resonance vibration of the suspension system.

A vibration-proofing device according to the present invention includes at least one fluid chamber in which fluid is filled between a vibrating member and a vibrated member. The fluid chamber is formed which expands and contracts from the vibration of the vibrating member. In the fluid within this fluid chamber, opposite phase pulsations are generated by means of a vibrator. The vibrator comprises an almost plate-shaped member fabricated from a magnetic material, which makes up one part of a partition forming the fluid chamber. The vibrator is activated by solenoids.

An electronic conference server apparatus is provided, which carries out proper access management over electronic data used at an electronic conference in accordance with an access authority of each participant in the electronic conference. A folder making portion makes a folder for each participant in the electronic conference, the folder being accessible only by the participant, in a participant data recording portion, and copies electronic data limited in access in accordance with an access authority level set for the participant, to the made folder. An access managing portion permits a participant's access to a folder that is made for the participant, but denies other participants' access to the folder.

In method and apparatus for estimating a sideslip angle of an automotive vehicle, a cornering power (PC.sub.2) of a rear road wheel is calculated as in the following equation (1a) using detected values of a yaw rate (.DELTA..psi.), a lateral acceleration (.DELTA..DELTA.Y), and a vehicle velocity (V). The estimated sideslip angle (P.beta.) is calculated in the following equation (1b).PC.sub.2 =(V/h)(Ma.DELTA..DELTA.Y-I.DELTA..psi.s)s/[.DELTA..psi.(bs+V)-.DELTA..DELTA.Y]+f(.DELTA..DELTA.Y) (1a).P.beta.=-Kbr[(Tbs+1)].DELTA..psi.
