In some cases, each relay delivers power first through a corresponding primary winding and then through a corresponding secondary winding to a common node. Also proposed are a method for producing such an optical recording medium as well as methods and apparatuses for initializing andor activating such an optical recording medium. This null position is required so that the spool can move in to move the phaser in one direction and outward to move the phaser in the other direction. The central portion is configured to be positioned adjacent the outer circumference of a roll of sheet material when the roll is a new roll disposed in the dispenser housing.

A photographic device having an optical image stabilization module includes a compensation unit, a first position sensor, a second position sensor, a first vibration detection unit, a second vibration detection unit, a first actuator, a second actuator and a central processing unit. Information indicating the decoding sequence of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. A memory stores a plurality of electronic games for selection and play.

A combustion-based system and related method includes a combustor for burning a combustible material, wherein an exhaust gas stream output by the combustor includes NO2 and at least one metal including mercury. When the starch is transformed into dextrin by means of the above-described method, whole soy milk which is as smooth as bovine milk can be manufactured, said whole soy milk being easier to digest and having an excellent taste and flavor due to the removal of the inherent fishy taste and grassy flavor or \u201cstink\u2019 of the beans. The method includes separating patient’s medical file into a demographics layer and a data layer, separately encrypting the demographic layer and data layer using different encryption keys, and providing servers in a communication and processing system with a decryption key for the layer processed by such server. The frame member suppresses heat radiated from the side surface of the substrate. And the x, a, y, and z may satisfy: 0\u2266x\u22663, 0\u2266a\u226610, 0\u2266y\u226620 and 2\u2266z\u226625. In the oxidation reaction process, a supply rate of the oxygen-containing gas is reduced in a period in which the conversion is greater than or equal to 50% and less than 70%.

A railroad freight car brake beam with a strut having a pair of generally parallel and joined side walls disposed to opposite sides of an axis of the strut and having a central hollow portion along with a longitudinally elongated slot adapted to be inclined a predetermined number of degrees from vertical for accommodating an elongated brake lever extending through the strut. A reel rotor and a reel handle are disposed on a reel body. A retrofit actuator assembly adapted to be mounted on an existing lock to control a locking mechanism of the lock, and a two-way communication device to control the retrofit actuator assembly and to receive signals from the retrofit actuator assembly indicating a state of the locking mechanism. Once the interference fit exists, the position of the shaft can be adjusted to change the stroke length of the slide in the press.

A vibration-canceling mechanism includes a vibration transfer member of a plane shape inserted between a vibration-origination system having at least one resonance frequency and an object to which a vibration is applied from the vibration-origination system. The actuator is configured to move the medicament container within the housing when the actuator is moved from a first configuration to a second configuration. By using as a mask a lamination of the electrode layer and gate insulating film and the field insulating film, an ion implantation process is executed to form n+-type source and drain regions. The frictional sheets 210 are disposed to form frictional-sheet groups 211 each including five frictional sheets 210 disposed successively. The flexible shower arm assembly includes an elongated flexible member defining a fluid transfer path, the flexible member having a first end and an opposite second end.
