An inner sealing portion seals a tubular port, which is provided to a receiver that receives water, at a first location of the tubular port. An outer sealing portion seals the tubular port at a second location of the tubular port spaced from the first location on an outer side of the inner sealing portion. A sealed space is formed between the inner sealing portion and the outer sealing portion. A tracer gas for performing a leak test of the outer sealing portion is enclosed in the sealed space. An amount of outwardly leaked tracer gas, which leaks from the sealed space through the outer sealing portion, is measured with a leak test device.

A variable toe angle control system for a vehicle that can be incorporated with a fail-safe mechanism When a fault of the system is detected, at least one of toe-angle actuators is actuated to make toe angles of two wheels agree with each other. When one of the wheels has become fixed in position without regard to a control signal supplied to the corresponding actuator, the actuator for the other wheel is actuated so as to make the toe angles of the two wheels equal to each other. When at least one toe-angle sensor is found faulty, the actuators are both actuated until the actuators reach positions corresponding to stoppers. When information for determining target values of the toe angles of the right and left wheels is found faulty, the actuators are both actuated until the actuators reach positions corresponding to prescribed reference toe positions.

There are provided foods and beverages that will suppress the absorption of dietary lipids, thereby suppressing the rise of triglyceride in blood. High-molecular weight polyphenol fractions recovered from oolong tea are added to foods or beverages as an active ingredient for inhibiting lipase activity. The foods and beverages of the present invention are safe and their inherent flavor has not been impaired; hence, they may be taken in routinely so that the lipase inhibitory action of the high-molecular weight polyphenol fractions will suppress the rise of triglyceride in blood and prevent obesity.

The unit also includes a ventilation opening formed in the casing. The unit also includes a pair of heat openings formed in the casing, one on each side wall above the heater. The unit also includes a pair of heat ducts. The overall lateral size of the unit can be minimized.
摘要:
A spectrum diffusion signal including data representing a center frequency of an acoustic surface filter in a transmitter side is transmitted with its carrier-frequency being swept. When a receiver side receives a modulation signal, a spectrum diffusion signal including data representing a center frequency of an acoustic surface filter in a receiver side is transmitted on the carrier-frequency equal to the center frequency of the surface acoustic wave matched filter in the transmitter side included in the modulation signal. Thereafter, the transmitter side transmits spectrum diffusion signals having the carrier-frequency equal to the center frequency of the surface acoustic wave matched filter in the receiver side included in the modulation signal.

An evaporator/expansion valve unit for use in an automotive air conditioning system, comprises an evaporator which includes first and second parallely extending elongate tanks and a plurality of flat hollow elements mounted on the first and second elongate tanks. The interior of each element is in a fluid communication with the interior of each tank. The first tank is formed with inlet and outlet openings. A block type expansion valve has a first passage which is closed when a spherical valve body abuts against a given part of the first passage against a certain force applied thereto and a second passage which has a temperature sensing means by which the certain force is varied in accordance with the temperature of a refrigerant flowing in the second passage. The first passage has an outlet opening connected to the inlet opening of the first tank. The second passage has an inlet opening connected to the outlet opening of the first tank. The expansion valve has the first tank directly mounted thereon.

A photodetection type coordinate input device includes a frame having a substantially rectangular opening formed in the center, a light-emitting element array composed of a plurality of light-emitting elements disposed along each of the two sides of the opening of the frame, a light-receiving element array composed of a plurality of light-receiving elements disposed along each of the two sides which respectively oppose the first two sides, and a filter provided in a part or the whole area of the opening and adapted to transmit desired light alone. The opening of the frame is disposed in front of a display to form a plurality of optical paths by pairs of light-emitting and -receiving elements, respectively, in front of the display screen of the display, and a position at which optical paths are blocked is detected to specify a coordinate position on the display screen, thereby inputting the coordinate position. The coordinate input device is provided with a recess for blocking the propagation of light toward the light-receiving element side. The recess is disposed in a region within the filter section which is closer to at least the light-receiving element side than a position which is located on the downstream side in a direction in which the light emitted from the light-emitting elements travels and which position is at a mid point between the light-emitting and -receiving elements.
