The invention is a hybrid wheel apparatus with a hybrid roadway apparatus that greatly reduces the energy lost due to rolling resistance where operation is on the hybrid roadway, but the system is configured to allow operation on conventional roads as needed.

The hybrid wheel system is a steel wheel used in combination with a rubber tired wheel. The hybrid roadway is a low profile steel rail fixed to the otherwise conventional road surface, which is preferably concrete but could also be the very common asphalt composition.

Where roadways are appropriately equipped with rails, the rail top surface is elevated over the roadway surface, and dimensions are set so that most of load force is carried on the steel wheel for general forward travel. Where the rail is absent the load is carried on the rubber tire, and the steel wheel is elevated above the roadway surface such that contact between the steel wheel and the roadway is prevented.

The invention includes disposing guide slit plate mechanisms fixed relative to one another, namely, parallel to and spaced apart from one another by a prescribed distance; fitting metal foils, which serve as X-ray absorbing substance provided between the guide slit plate mechanisms, parallel to primary X-rays; inserting both ends of the metal foils into the guide slit plate mechanisms; inserting, when applying tension evenly, a rod, which is sheathed in an elastic body, into holes formed in the metal foils on the tip sides of the metal foils beyond the inserted portions; and adopting a structure that ensures that the cross sectional shape of the elastic body sheathing the rod has a sufficient wall thickness in a direction in which the elastic body is compressed when tension is generated, and thereby eliminating any difference in the tension even if a spring constant k that is determined during compression is small and the amounts of compression are different.

An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for producing a selective medium that allows a target microorganism to predominantly proliferate in the simultaneous presence of many different microorganisms according to specific criteria. The object is solved by a method for producing a selective medium for a microorganism, which comprises the steps of: selecting at least one carbon source assimilable by a microorganism and/or at least one antibiotic to which the microorganism has resistance based on biological information about the microorganism; and mixing the selected carbon source and/or antibiotic with basic medium components.

A construction is realized in which a large difference in operation force to operate an adjustment lever 24a never occurs irrespective of a vertical position of a steering wheel and which is produced at low costs.

In part of a supporting plate portion 15a of a pair of left and right supporting plate portions 15a which make up a supporting bracket 14a, a thickness of a peripheral portion 34 which surrounds a vertically elongated hole 17a is made small at an upper portion and large at a lower portion. Additionally, a change in operation force of the adjustment lever 24a based on the difference in thickness and a change in the operation force based on a difference in rigidity of the supporting plate portion 15a are offset by each other to thereby solve the problem.

A cooling block (51) forming a top wall of a combustion chamber (19) of an internal combustion engine is formed by layering, from the outside to the inside, a casing (52), an upper layer block (53), a middle layer block (54), and a lower layer block (55). Labyrinth-shaped cooling water passages (53a, 54a, 55a) are formed on upper faces and side faces of the three layers of blocks (53, 54, 55), and cooling water supplied from a cooling water supply passage (56) flows from the cooling water passage (53a) on the side far from the combustion chamber (19) to the cooling water passage (55a) on the side close to the combustion chamber (19), and is discharged from a cooling water discharge passage (57). Since the cooling water flows in a direction opposite to the direction of emission of heat of combustion from the combustion chamber (19), it is possible to ensure that there is sufficient difference in temperature between a cylinder head (18) and the cooling water throughout the cooling water passages (53a, 54a, 55a), thereby improving the effect of the cooling water in cooling the cylinder head (18) and enabling the waste heat of the internal combustion chamber to be recovered effectively.

Semiconductor device performance is improved via a gate structure having a tunable effective workfunction and reduced gate depletion effects. According to an example embodiment, the design threshold voltage of a semiconductor device is adjusted in a manner that includes providing a gate having a workfunction that enables operation of the semiconductor device at a selected voltage. The gate is formed having two different conductive materials with different electric workfunctions that both significantly contribute to the overall workfunction of the gate. The relative composition, thickness, and arrangement of each of the two conductive materials is selected to attain a gate electrode workfunction that is different than the workfunctions of each of the two layers and that sets the threshold voltage of the semiconductor device. The adjustability of the effective workfunction of the gate electrode can be applied to a variety of semiconductor devices. The ability to reduce gate depletion effects also provides enhanced device current drive.

A multi-heatsink integrated cooler for direct cooling of at least two electronic components comprises at least two heatsinks with heat-exchanging means and housings with inflow and outflow openings and one common blower. Each of the heatsinks is located independently in tight contact with one of said electronic components. The housings of all said heatsinks are hydraulically connected in a common system of airflow between said heat-exchanging means of all the heatsinks and the inside space of said blower by at least one sealing element from the elastic material located in the clearance between nearest parts of said housings thus compensating the differences in locations and tolerances. The cooler comprises the radial blower located overlapping at least one of said heatsinks so that an inlet of said blower is coincided with the outflow opening of said common system of airflow. Said blower is located directly on the surface of one of said heatsinks overlapping at least one another heatsink.

In the opto-electronic integrated circuit, an optical waveguide in which a sapphire substrate for an SOS substrate is formed as a lower clad and a silicon film is formed as a core, an electronic integrated circuit formed in the silicon film, and grooves for fixing optical fibers are formed monolithically. Further, a photodiode array and a laser diode array are mounted on a hybrid basis. Since the lower clad of the optical waveguide is used as the sapphire substrate and the core is used as the silicon film, a difference in refractive index can be made large sufficiently, thus resulting in thinning of the silicon film. It is therefore possible to shorten the time required to process the core and the like. Further, since the electronic integrated circuit is formed on the sapphire substrate, the high-frequency characteristics are enhanced.
