The second comb-tooth electrode includes a plurality of second electrode teeth caused not to face the second conductor but to face the first conductor of the first electrode teeth during non-operation. The second electrode teeth are longer than the first conductor in the direction of the oscillating motion.

The UAV includes a wing assembly coupled to the projectile casing and the wing assembly moveable between a closed position and a deployed position. The UAV further includes a propulsion system including at least one rotor disposed on the wing assembly to generate lift, wherein in the closed position, the wing assembly is substantially integral with the projectile casing and in the deployed position, the wing assembly is extended outwards from the projectile casing.

A microcontroller receives a supply voltage (VCC) from one or more batteries. Rather than automatically resetting the microcontroller if VCC drops below a VBO voltage, a latent VBO reset circuit does not reset the processor if VCC drops below a second voltage (VBO) as long as VCC does not fall so low that a power on reset (POR) circuit of the latent VBO reset circuit is tripped. The processor continues to operate as long as it can below VBO, thereby maximizing battery usage. When VCC rises to a third voltage (for example, due to battery replacement), then the latent VBO reset circuit automatically resets the processor to remove potential ill-effects of having operated below VBO. User data stored in volatile memory is not lost during battery replacement. A special VBO bit in a processor-readable status register indicates that the microcontroller operated below VBO.

A write-driver/read-amplifier circuit includes a write driver, a GIO equalize circuit and a read amplifier. When a current leaks from or to global data line, a signal applied to a logic gate attains L-level. As a result, the write driver and the GIO equalize circuit stop the operations so that a semiconductor memory device can prevent occurrence of an unnecessary leak current.

The present invention is to provide a starter to be used for producing fermented foods and fermented beverages with a simple means, as a fermentation starter excellent in storage properties and stability. A fermentation starter excellent in storage properties and stability is produced by treating the surface of a solid starter comprising cereal starch materials such as oats and the like containing fermentation microorganisms with dry-heat treatment such as roasting for a short time. According to the method, microorganisms on the surface are sterilized by forming a layer treated with dry-heat treatment such as roasting on the surface of a solid fermentation starter, and the invasion of external microorganisms is prevented with the layer, and further, internal yeast and other bacilli can be stored with maintaining their activity by being protected by the treated layer.

A side curtain airbag for a vehicle includes an inner panel facing an interior of the vehicle, an outer panel facing the inner panel, a stopper chamber configured to prevent a head of an occupant seated on the vehicle from being moved toward a front side of the vehicle, a forward chamber arranged at a front side of the stopper chamber, and a rearward chamber arranged at a rear side of the stopper chamber. The forward chamber and the rearward chamber are arranged to be adjacent to each other such that in a non-inflation state of the airbag, a portion in which the stopper chamber is located is folded at least one time to form an overlapped portion.

The HOMO and LUMO are employed as an n-type semiconductor and a p-type semiconductor, respectively. The nanowire is a semiconductor when an external force is applied thereto.

A lubrication device lubricates traveling lubrication sites, such as on a belt (1), in particular, on a roller or chain belt (1). The lubrication device includes a lubricating apparatus (2) having a catch (C) that is capable of assuming a resting position and a catching position relative to the belt (1). In the catching position, a lubricating head (D) of the lubricating apparatus (2) is moved to a lubrication site by relative lateral motion between the belt (1) and the lubricating apparatus (2) in order to supply lubricant to the lubricating site. At the end of the run path, the lubricating head (D) as well as the catch (C) moves relative to the belt (1) to return back to the resting position. Also, before or simultaneously while the catch (C) is brought into engagement with the belt (1), the lubricating apparatus (2) can be extended in a longitudinal direction of the lubrication site motion at a boosting speed, which is greater than zero and less than the speed of the belt (1).

A digital protection system is provided. The digital protection system may include: a process protection system including at least two channels, each channel including a first bistable logic controller and a second bistable logic controller which are independent and different from each other, the first bistable logic controller and the second bistable logic controller outputting bistable logic results; a reactor protection system including at least two trains, each train including a first coincidence logic controller and a second coincidence logic controller which are independent and different from each other, the first coincidence logic controller and the second coincidence logic controller outputting coincidence logic results by receiving the bistable logic results from the process protection system; and an initiation circuit normally operating or stopping a reactor according to the coincidence logic results received from the reactor protection system.

A transmission control device may be provided that includes a magnet, a magnetic sensor, a slider, a shift lever, and a motion conversion member. The magnetic sensor is fixed to a predetermined position and measures a magnetic field which changes according to a relative position with respect to the magnet.
