The invention relates to a shopping basket in self service stores and / or supermarkets, of the type of those which can be stacked and incorporate rolling means (5) at their base and a drive handle (4) for transporting them in an inclined manner on the floor in which said drive handle (4) is located on a plane different from the load application plane, and further having its corners reinforced by means of bends (3) defining a plane (6) on which the side branches (7) of said handle (4) slide with the aid of guide means.

An object of the present invention is to provide a catalyst-coated membrane suitable for achieving a polymer electrolyte fuel cell that sufficiently prevents a decrease in the initial characteristics and also exhibits sufficient cell performance for a long period of time and has excellent durability. In at least the cathode catalyst layer, the ratio (WP / WCat-C) of the weight of the polymer electrolyte (WP) to the weight of the catalyst-carrying carbon (WCat-C) is decreased from an innermost layer positioned closest to the polymer electrolyte membrane toward an outermost layer positioned farthest from the polymer electrolyte membrane. The ratio (WP / WCat-C) in the innermost layer is 0.8 to 3.0, and the ratio (WP / WCat-C) in the outermost layer is 0.2 to 0.6.

To provide an engine revolutions control device of a working vehicle that the braking effect can be obtained by the low-speed speed gear as expected by the operator at the time of forward / reverse changeover and the durability of the clutch can be enhanced without increasing the capacity of the clutch. When the low-speed gear change range suitable for the work is selected by the shift range lever and the speed gear clutch corresponding to the maximum speed gear of the selected gear change range in the individual speed gear clutches is engaged, the throttle amount upper limit value which limits the revolutions of the engine so to have the upper limit vehicle speed or less corresponding to the maximum speed gear is determined, and it is output as a throttle amount correction command signal to an engine controller. The engine controller compares the content of the throttle correction command signal input from the transmission controller, namely the throttle amount upper limit value with a throttle amount as a depressing operation amount of the accelerator pedal, generates as the corrected throttle amount the smaller throttle amount and controls the engine 1 so that the target revolutions according to the corrected throttle amount can be obtained.

The magnetic recording medium has a nonmagnetic layer satisfying: the ratio of the total area accounted for by voids observed to the area of the observed region falls within a range of 13.0% to 25.0% in a sectional image taken by SEM; R+σr is 58.0 nm or less and R−σr is 21.0 nm or greater when denoting the average value of the diameters of corresponding circles for voids observed in the sectional image as R, denoting the standard deviation of the diameters of the corresponding circles as σr; N+σn is 185 voids / μm2 or less and N−σn is 120 voids / μm2 or greater when denoting the average number of voids observed per μm2 unit area of the observed region in the sectional image as N, denoting the standard deviation of this number as σn; and the thickness of the nonmagnetic layer is 0.20 μm or greater.

The invention relates to pellets comprising starch and further comprising protein. A process to make pellets of the present invention is also disclosed. Further, use of the pellets as an ingredient to make food-, pet food- and feed compositions is also disclosed: the pellets can be ground and mixed with other ingredients to make food-, pet food- or feed compositions. In particular, use of the pellets to make fish feed compositions is disclosed.

There is provided a method for producing an ink jet head. The method includes: first oxidizing in which, in an SOI substrate having a first SiO2 layer between a first Si layer and a second Si layer, among the first Si layer and the second Si layer, at least the first Si layer is thermally oxidized to form a second SiO2 layer; forming a nozzle hole by removing a part of the second SiO2 layer and a part of the first Si layer between the first SiO2 layer and the second SiO2 layer, by performing an etching treatment until at least the first SiO2 layer is exposed; second oxidizing in which a side wall of at least the first Si layer in the formed nozzle hole is thermally oxidized to form an SiO2 layer; opening the nozzle hole by subjecting the SiO2 layers in the nozzle hole other than at the side wall to an anisotropic dry etching treatment until at least the second Si layer is exposed; and forming a nozzle by removing the second Si layer.
