The invention relates to a method of forming a polyphenylene ether resin containing residual aliphatic unsaturation. A polyphenylene ether is reacted with a capping agent in a solvent to form the polyphenylene ether resin containing residual aliphatic unsaturation, which is precipitated from solution by combining the solution with an antisolvent. The precipitated polyphenylene ether resin containing residual aliphatic unsaturation has lower levels of residual impurities than the same compound isolated by devolatilization.

The wheel speed sensor is disposed between the swing arm and the wheel. The wheel speed sensor and the swing arm overlap one other in a side view of the vehicle.

A system and method for scanning a data-input array (e.g., a keyboard or keypad) using a reduced number of signals is disclosed. Specifically, a switch array is disclosed comprising a plurality of switches and a plurality of input/output (I/O) lines. The switch array is arranged in an N*N matrix. A plurality of N I/O lines is used to scan the matrix. In one embodiment, the switches in the array are arranged in an N*(N−1)/2 configuration. In this configuration, there is no duplication of circuit paths. In another embodiment, the switches in the array are arranged in an N(N−1) configuration. In this configuration, a plurality of diodes are used to identify an activated switch depending upon which of a plurality of signal paths is activated. The plurality of diodes is included to differentiate between pairs of switches that complete the same paths between pairs of I/O lines.

A throttle shaft, first and second bearings, are inserted and formed in a bore wall part of a throttle body, when the throttle body is formed in the same dies. That is, when the throttle body is formed in a predetermined shape, the throttle shaft, the first and second bearings, are received in the bore wall part of the throttle body. First and second step portions, are formed in the throttle shaft, and axially inserted by first and second supporting portions, respectively formed in the first and second bearings, from both axially ends of the throttle shaft. Therefore, the throttle shaft can be restricted from moving axially, without additional thrust restricting means, such as an E-ring and a C-ring.

A signal processing apparatus includes an interface module and a signal processing module. The interface module includes an identification resistance for identifying the interface module, the interface module being connectable to a device configured to perform at least one of measuring of a measuring target and operating of an operation target. The signal processing module includes a first connection terminal connected to one end of the identification resistance, a first power source connected to the identification resistance via the first connection terminal, a detector configured to detect any one of voltage and electrical current at the first connection terminal, and a signal processor configured to process signals received from and transmitted to the device.

A battery assembly of the invention includes a secondary battery formed by stacking a plurality of unit battery cells having a cathode and an anode, collector electrodes provided on respective end surfaces of the secondary battery positioned in the stacking direction of the unit battery cells; and terminal portions formed at the collector electrodes, protruded outward from a side surface of the secondary battery, to which conductive members are connected for charging and discharging. A coolant is supplied to the terminal portions to cool the terminal portions.

In a MIMO wireless communication system, the transformation process synthesizes the eigenmodes having a large singular value (i.e. a high effective SNR) and the eigenmodes having a small singular value (i.e. a low effective SNR). Thereby, the former eigenmodes are converted into modes having suppressed effective SNR which do not require a large number of levels of modulation, and the latter eigenmodes are converted into modes having increased effective SNR instead. In a MIMO wireless communication system for eigenmode transmission, a large communication capacity is realized without increasing the number of levels of modulation even in a communication environment capable of achieving a high SNR.

A semiconductor memory device includes: a plurality of memory cells arranged in a matrix; a memory cell array divided into a plurality of blocks; a plurality of read amplifiers, each of which is coupled correspondingly to each of the blocks; and a plurality of latch circuits, each group of which is coupled correspondingly to each of the read amplifiers and includes two or more latch circuits coupled to one another in parallel, wherein, in order to read a plurality of data consecutively from the memory cell array, the data are firstly read from one desired memory cell for each block; the read data are secondly inputted and latched, via the read amplifier corresponding to the same block, to one of the latch circuits included in a group of latch circuits corresponding to the same read amplifier; the data are thirdly read from another desired memory cell, which is different from the memory cell from which the data are formerly read, for each block; the read data are fourthly inputted and latched, via the read amplifier corresponding to the same block, to one of the latch circuits, which is different from the latch circuit to which the data are formerly latched, included in the group of latch circuits corresponding to the same read amplifier; and the latched data are lastly outputted in a desired order from each of the latch circuits having the latched data.

Provided is a variable stroke property engine that can prevent an increase in the resistance to the engine owing to the contact between the variable stroke piston mechanism and lubricating oil. In a variable stroke property engine equipped with a variable piston stroke mechanism consisting of a plurality of links 4, 5 and 12, a baffle plate 40 is provided between the links and the oil surface of the lubricating oil received in an oil pan so that the links may be separated from the oil surface by the baffle plate and the lubricating oil is prevented from contacting the links. Thereby, an increase to the resistance to the movement of the links can be avoided.

A proximity sensor that includes a light emitting section that emits light; a light receiving section that detects the light emitted from the light emitting section reflected from an object; a window member that covers the light emitting section and the light receiving section; a first columnar portion disposed to extend between the light emitting section and the window member; and a second columnar portion disposed to extend between the light receiving section and the window member.

The present invention relates to an electric energy conversion method and system with at least two conversion units (14), comprising control means (12) establishing the maximum output current of the operative conversion modules, as well as the commutation frequency of the entire or of a sub-group of the operative conversion modules to thus increase the availability of the conversion system in the event of failures.

An acoustic wire assembly mounted on a drumhead, including a plurality of acoustic wires disposed parallel to each other so as to be brought into contact with and moved away from the drumhead in which at least some of the acoustic wires are polygonal (square, pentagonal, hexagonal and octagonal) in cross-section, and they can be in a coil shape or a straight shape.

An image-taking apparatus includes: an A/D conversion circuit having an amplifier that is capable of amplifying image signals per shooting frame; and a gain changer that changes the gain of the amplifier. The apparatus causes the gain changer to increase the gain of the amplifier up to a level that compensates for a gradual decrease in the amount of light emitted from LEDs that occurs during continuous shooting. As a result, the amplitude level of every image signal is made constant and thus, replayed images of the same brightness shot during the continuous shooting are obtained.
