A solid-state image pickup device includes a pixel array including pixels arranged in a matrix, a pixel signal readout unit, and a timing control unit for controlling processing of the pixel signal readout unit by using a timing signal. The pixel signal readout unit includes: a plurality of comparators for comparing a readout signal potential with a reference voltage to generate a determination signal and outputting the determination signal, and a plurality of counters. Each counter counts a comparison time of each corresponding one of the comparators. The timing control unit (a) divides a predetermined processing period into at least a first-time readout period, a first comparison period, a second-time readout period, and a second-time comparison period, (b) classifies the periods into two periods, and (c) generates a timing signal of processing of each divided period by counting for each divided period in the counter.

The present invention is directed to rumen-bypass preparations for ruminants composed of a core preparation and a coating layer applied thereonto, characterized in that the core preparation contains from 50 to 90% by weight, based on the core preparation, of a biologically-active substance, that the active substance has been dispersed in from 10 to 50% by weight of a protective substance, and that the coating layer applied onto the core preparation is made of from at least one material selected among linear and branched, saturated and unsaturated aliphatic C,monocarboxylates, polymers insoluble in the neutral region but soluble in the acidic region, and zein. Use of protective substances originating in natural substances and being harmless to the ecological system makes it possible to obtain rumen-bypass preparations which contain biologically-active substances at a high concentration and are advantageous economically.

A multilayer ceramic circuit board and method of forming such circuit board are disclosed. The wiring pattern for the multilayer ceramic circuit board includes multiple-layer portions, the multiple-layer portions including first and second electrically conductive layers, respectively a tungsten layer and a copper thick film, for example, with a diffusion layer therebetween for improving adhesivity of the first and second electrically conductive layers to each other. Such multiple-layer portions are provided by providing first and second electrically conductive layers, and an intermediate layer between the first and second electrically conductive layers, and diffusing at least one component from the intermediate layer into both the first and second electrically conductive layers. Thus, a multilayer ceramic circuit board with, e.g., a firmly coupled tungsten layer and copper thick film can be provided.

A waste kinetic energy reclaiming system for an engine-driven vehicle includes a generator, and a variable torque-ratio coupling connecting the generator and the vehicle engine. The system also includes a clutch which selectably disconnects the coupling from the engine in response to whether or not braking of the vehicle is required so that the connection between the coupling and the engine is established only when braking is required.
