A resin-made fuel tank includes: a resin-made fuel tank main body provided by joining an upper half and a lower half; a barrier sheet layer that is provided on an inner surface of the fuel tank main body and that reduces permeation of a fuel from the fuel tank main body; and a front mounting stay and rear mounting stays for mounting the fuel tank main body to a vehicle body. The front mounting stay and the rear mounting stays are provided on the fuel tank main body at positions vertically spaced from an upper joint surface and a lower joint surface at which the upper half and the lower half re joined to each other.

A resin-made tank includes a mouthpiece capable of covering an inner peripheral surface, a distal end surface and an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical filling portion, wherein a fuel tank body has a mouthpiece fixing portion to which a mouthpiece fixing jig is fixed. The mouthpiece has an annular skirt portion that covers the outer peripheral surface. The skirt portion has a fitting portion that is fitted on an upper portion of the outer peripheral surface on an upper portion of the skirt portion, and has a large diameter portion having a larger diameter than the fitting portion on a lower portion of the skirt portion. The mouthpiece has a stay portion extending radially outward of the mouthpiece from the large diameter portion, and a fixing hole, through which the mouthpiece fixing jig passes, is provided in the stay portion.

A front wheel caliper bracket for supporting an axle is provided in a lower end portion of a front fork. A wheel speed sensor is mounted on the bracket. The wheel speed sensor includes a fixing section and a sensor section, and is mounted on a sensor mounting section of the bracket by a bolt. The sensor mounting section is integrally formed with a rotation regulating portion in a projecting fashion. When fastened by the bolt, a lateral part of the rotating wheel speed sensor comes into contact with the rotation regulating portion to regulate the rotation of the wheel speed sensor, so that the stress from the rotation regulating portion is not exerted directly on the sensor section.

When a user selects an arbitrary symbol (word, phrase, sentence, graphic, image, etc.) from an arbitrary application on a client computer , and copies this symbol to a clipboard , a linker , being a terminate-and-stay-resident-type process, automatically captures that symbol from the clipboard . Similarly, when a user types at a keyboard from an arbitrary application , those typed characters are first passed to an input method editor , where they are temporarily stored within a buffer , and when the user enters a prescribed &ldquo;okay&rdquo; key sequence the characters within that buffer are converted as necessary and passed to the application , but if the user enters a prescribed &ldquo;link&rdquo; key sequence, a character string determining component of the input method editor passes the characters within the buffer to a linker . In either case, the linker sends the captured symbol to a URL server . The URL server possesses a database , accumulated within which there are sets of symbols A, B, . . . and URLs A, B, . . . corresponding thereto, searches the database and retrieves therefrom a URL corresponding to the received symbol , and returns that retrieved URL to the linker . The linker launches a WWW browser and passes the URL received from the server to the WWW browser

System and a process for specifying a location on a network

A bossless computer program architecture in which each program module is hierarchically equal is used to develop complicated software applications. Each program module is associated with a parameter file. The characteristics and operation of the program modules are determined by their associated parameter files. These modules communicate by writing statements to the parameter files associated with other modules. Once written, the origin of these statements is ignored. Thus, there is no need to &ldquo;return&rdquo; to the modules which originate the statements. Further, the statements are executed by the modules without regard to their origins. This new architecture does not require the preservation of linkage information because there is no need for the program modules to return information or control to other modules. Various applications of this architecture to windows-based environment and multimedia applications are disclosed.

Bossless architecture and digital cell technology for computer programs

An application can be formed by using a plurality of program modules each having an associated display window. These modules could communicate with each other to perform desired activities. A user organizes the windows associated with these modules in a desired spatial arrangement. Various parent-child relationships among the display windows are used to place constraints on the appearance of the windows. When the program modules are executed, they communicate with each other to perform desired activities while the associated windows maintain a predetermined graphic relationship. Consequently, the application gives the appearance that it contains tightly coupled program modules instead of modules that can be selected and arranged easily by a user with little programming experience.

Methods and systems for developing computer applications

Text image on a monitor can be scrolled pixel-by-pixel instead of line-by-line or character-by-character. An application window (for showing images generated by an application) and a child window are generated. The text image is drawn on the child window instead of on the application window. The size of the application window is smaller than the child window. Only the portion of the child window overlapping the application window is displayed by a computer screen. If a user desires scrolling, the child window is moved, a pixel at a time, in a direction corresponding to the direction of scrolling. When a full line or a full character is scrolled, the child window clears itself and returns to its original position. At the same time, the text image is scrolled one line or one character on the child window so as to match the pixel-based scrolling. As a result, the user sees a smooth scrolling of a text image.

Method and apparatus for smooth scrolling of text using window

A specialized communication controller class is used to manage communications in an object oriented programming system. Classes in the system are not designed to communicate directly with each other, and communication between classes is routed by this controller class. As a result, there is no need for each class to keep track of any hierarchical relationship of classes in an application in order to be able to communicate with other classes. Members of the object oriented programming system contain parameter files and can send commands to the controller class. The controller class executes the commands without return result to the senders. Similarly, the controller class can send commands to other class members, and these commands are executed without returning result to the controller class.

System for managing communication between program modules

A database system can be formed by combining a plurality of single-association databases each associated with a database driver. A single-association database contains a plurality of records, and each record associates one piece of data with another piece of data. Each database driver contains a parameter file and is designed to perform searches on its associated database. Each database driver also contains means for sending a command to the parameter file of another database driver. The recipient database driver executes the command without returning result of execution to the sending database driver. The database system also contains a software module for interacting with the database drivers to achieve a desired search result.
