The outdoor window includes a sealing member provided between each sliding sash and sill so that a sealing portion is pressed when a wind pressure is applied to the sliding sashes from the outdoor side, drain grooves provided on a top surface of the sill, water collecting grooves having a width wider than the width of the drain grooves and being provided immediately below the drain groove, drain ports provided at a bottom of the water collecting grooves; a guiding hollow portion provides immediately below the drain ports for guiding rainwater outdoors, and an outdoor drain port provided at an outdoor side of the guiding hollow portion. The water collecting grooves and the guiding hollow portion communicate with outside air.

An optical device for optically multiplexing or demultiplexing light of different predetermined wavelengths is provided, the optical device comprising at least one first waveguide (11) and at least one second waveguide (12) formed on a substrate (10), wherein the at least one first waveguide and the at least one second waveguide intersect at an intersection, comprising a diffraction grating structure (13) formed at the intersection. There exists a first wavelength or wavelength band travelling within the first waveguide (11) exciting the grating structure and being diffracted an angle corresponding to an outcoupling direction and there exists a second wavelength or wavelength band, different from the first wavelength or wavelength band, travelling within the second waveguide (12) exciting the grating structure and being diffracted at an angle corresponding to the same outcoupling direction. The two radiation beams comprising radiation of two different wavelengths or wavelength bands are spatially separated into the optical waveguides (11 and 12) or combined into single outcoupling direction, e.g. into a single optical element, e.g. a single optical fiber (21). An optical device may be used in local access communications such as fiber to the home, office or curb applications.

The invention provides an aeroponic virus-free seed potato breeding method and equipment. The breeding method includes the following steps: equipment cleaning and disinfection, greenhouse disinfection through a smoke drug, seedling hardening, planting and atomization, illumination and temperature management, seedling shedding, overgrowth and lodging control, nutrient solution concentration management, nutrient solution pH value management, nutrient solution temperature management, pest and disease damage prevention, and harvesting. The breeding equipment includes cultivation tanks, cultivation plates, a nutrient solution, a solution storage container, a solution delivery pipe, atomization nozzles, a circulating pump, and a nutrient solution return pipe, wherein each cultivation tank is a cuboid tank of which the length is much larger than the width, the inner surface of each cultivation tank is painted black, the outer surface of each cultivation tank is painted silvery grey, and each cultivation tank is supported from the ground through a bracket; the solution storage container is an underground solution storage pool, a temperature sensor is arranged in the solution storage pool, and a nutrient solution cooling thermolator is arranged outside the solution storage pool. The method provided by the invention can reduce the seedling time, prolong the collection period, and increase the yield; the number of stolons is increased, so as to lay a foundation for a higher yield of virus-free seed potatoes. The equipment provided by the invention is convenient to manage, can save energy, and runs reliably.

An engine air intake device comprises a collector divided by a partition wall into first and second volume chambers, first and second upstream intake pipe portions, a plurality of first and second downstream branch pipes, and a first communication valve. The first and second upstream intake pipe portions are connected to an upstream side of the first and second volume chambers, respectively. The first and second downstream branch pipes extend from the first and second volume chambers, respectively, to respective intake ports of first and second banks of first and second cylinders, respectively. The first communication valve is mounted to the partition wall in a position that does not interfere with a path of a main flow of intake air inside the collector and configured and arranged to allow communication between the first volume chamber and the second volume chamber when the first communication valve is open.

A refrigerator having a room (3) the temperature in which can be switched, by cooling by a cooling device (17) and by heating by a heater (15), between the low temperature side where an object is stored cooled and the high temperature side where the temperature is maintained in the range of 50 DEG C - 80 DEG C in which food to be heated is kept warm.
