(Abstract)
"A variable device（可変装置）for regulating the outlet pressure of a fluid from a valve body, includes a pressure-sensing chamber having a wall formed by a resilient self-restoring diaphragm which is responsive to pressure（＊無冠詞）in the chamber. A valve element connected to the diaphragm controls flow（＊無冠詞）into the chamber. Increased pressure（＊無冠詞）in the chamber decreases the flow into the chamber and decreasing pressure increases flow whereby fluid flow（＊無冠詞）out from the chamber is maintained at a desired pressure（＊不定冠詞）. The outlet pressure is adjusted by deflecting the diaphragm in a direction to open the valve while permitting a section of the diaphragm connected to the valve member to remain responsive to the pressure（＊定冠詞）in the chamber. An adjustment cover is provided to adjustably deflect the diaphragm and includes a catch mechanism to allow adjustment of the fluid outlet pressures and also retain the device at a desired value. An indicator arrangement may be provided to visually indicate the fluid outlet pressure."

(Abstract)
"An internal combustion engine is provided. Facing pistons eliminate a cylinder head, thereby reducing heat losses through a cylinder head. Facing pistons also halve the stroke that would be required for one piston to provide the same compression ratio, and the engine can thus be run at higher revolutions per minute and produce more power. An internal sleeve valve is provided for space and other considerations. A combustion chamber size-varying mechanism（燃焼室容積可変機構）allows for adjustment of the minimum size of an internal volume to increase efficiency at partial-power operation. Variable intake valve operation is used to control engine power."

"In OLED devices, over 70% of the generated light is typically lost due to processes within the device structure. The trapping of light at the interfaces between the higher index organic and Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) layers and the lower index substrate layers is the major cause of this poor extraction efficiency（抽出効率）. Only a relatively small amount of the emitted light emerges（現れる）through the transparent electrode as "useful" light. The majority of the light undergoes internal reflections（内部反射される）, resulting in light being emitted from the edge of the device or trapped within the device and eventually being lost to absorption within the device after making repeated passes.
Light extraction films use internal nanostructures to avoid waveguiding losses within the device. While providing strong light extraction（光の取出し）, internal nanostructures, comprising regular features such as photonic crystals or linear gratings, tend to produce diffraction-related variations in the angular and spectral distributions of the emitted light, which may not be desirable in final applications. Thus, a need exists for（必要性が存在）a light extraction film that simultaneously enhances the efficiency of light extraction（光取出し効率）via the nanostructures, while also reducing undesirable luminance and color angular non-uniformity in the light output."
