A flight path setting apparatus includes a display unit, a selector, a range calculator, and a display controller. The display unit displays a flight path of an aircraft. The flight path includes a plurality of points. The selector selects a first point on the basis of an operation performed by a user. The first point is any one of the points displayed by the display unit. The range calculator calculates a non-settable range on the basis of a flight performance and a surrounding environment of the aircraft. The non-settable range is a region that is around the first point and in which a second point is not settable. The second point is subsequent to the first point on the flight path. The display controller causes the display unit to display the non-settable range that relates to the first point and is calculated by the range calculator.

A formation setting apparatus includes a display unit, a selector, a region calculator, a display controller, and a communication controller. The display unit displays a formation of formation flying that includes aircrafts. The selector selects, as a first aircraft, one of the aircrafts displayed on the display unit, on a basis of an operation performed by a user. The region calculator calculates a movable region of the first aircraft, on a basis of a distance, to the first aircraft, from one or a plurality of second aircrafts of the aircrafts excluding the first aircraft. The display controller causes the calculated movable region to be displayed on the display unit. The communication controller transmits a control signal to the first aircraft when a position within the movable region displayed on the display unit is selected by the user. The control signal causes the first aircraft to move to the selected position.

A surface-emitting laser includes an active layer on which a spacer layer is disposed, and a reflection mirror disposed on the spacer layer, including a current constriction layer that is a selectively-oxidized layer having been selectively oxidized. The current constriction layer is disposed at a position of a node of a standing-wave of an electric field of light oscillated at the active layer and is disposed away from an interface between the spacer layer and the reflection mirror by an optical distance of one-fourth of an oscillation wavelength at the active layer. The selectively-oxidized layer is made of AlGaAs. The reflection mirror includes at least one AlGaInP layer contacting the selectively-oxidized layer.

A mixer for a gas fueled engine uses a venturi through which a fuel nozzle opens into an air inlet path at a narrowest portion of the venturi in a substantially parallel orientation relative to the flow of inlet air in the air inlet path to reduce the mixture loss, and an air nozzle opens into the air inlet path at an expanding portion of the venturi in a substantially parallel orientation relative to the flow of the inlet air to reduce the ventilation resistance caused by a boundary layer and to make a uniform mixture of the gaseous fuel and the air.

A transducer-to-medium stabilizer assembled with a transducer in a recording and/or reproducing apparatus is disposed in an opposing relationship with a flexible storage disk which is used as an information recording medium. The stabilizer comprises first and second block members which protrude from a base block member and a static pressure releasing arrangement on said stabilizer device. When the flexible storage disk is rotated at a high speed with respect to the stabilizer device, a negative pressure is formed between the stabilizer device and the disk, resulting in that the transducer is maintained in a constant and stable contact relationship with the disk.

This invention relates to a liquid fuel combustion apparatus such as oil space heater in which liquid fuel is vaporized by a vaporizer and the vaporized liquid fuel is injected through a first nozzle to a burner. The vaporizer is heated by combustion of fuel gas which is injected through a second nozzle to the burner before the vaporizer has been heated up to a temperature at which the liquid fuel passing the vaporizer is evaporated. The injection of the fuel gas from the second nozzle to the burner is changed to the injection of the vaporized liquid fuel from the first nozzle when the vaporizer has been heated up to a desired temperature. The supply of the liquid fuel to the vaporizer is carried out by a fuel pump which is driven by electric power generated by a thermopile.
