20110114042	COOLING STRUCTURE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A spacer covers intermediate portions of respective cylinder bores in a depth direction of a water jacket throughout the entire peripheries of the intermediate portions in the peripheral direction. Accordingly, the intermediate portion of each cylinder bore becomes higher in temperature than any other portion, and is thermally expanded. Thereby, the clearance between the cylinder bore and the corresponding piston increases. Thus, the friction decreases to improve fuel efficiency of an internal combustion engine. Furthermore, since the temperature of oil lubricating the intermediate portion of the cylinder bore rises, and the viscosity decreases. Accordingly, the effect of friction reduction is enhanced more. Furthermore, upper and lower portions of the cylinder bores in a cylinder axis direction are sufficiently cooled. Therefore, the cooling performance of a top part and a skirt part of each piston, which tends to become higher in temperature, is secured. Accordingly, overheat can be prevented.	05-19-2011
20110114043	COOLING STRUCTURE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A height of a spacer which is arranged inside a water jacket formed to surround peripheries of cylinder bores of a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine is made to be lower by a step in an intermediate portion thereof in a cylinder row line direction. Consequently, among end-portion cylinder bores having a lower temperature and being situated at opposite end portions in the cylinder row line direction and intermediate cylinder bores being other than the end-portion cylinder bores and having a higher temperature, a cooling performance of the intermediate cylinder bores is higher than that of the end-portion cylinder bores. Therefore, all the temperatures of the respective cylinder bores can be made uniform. A similar operation effect can be obtained alternatively by making a thickness of the spacer thinner in portions facing the intermediate cylinder bores and thicker in portions facing the end-portion cylinder bores.	05-19-2011

In the surface coating film, an oxidation-resistance layer containing, as a main component, a complex oxide of Li and at least Al, is coated on the outer surface of a base material, direct thereonto or through the intermediary of a highly hard coating layer. Further, in a method of manufacturing a surface coating film, the base material as it is or a highly hard coating layer coated substance in which a highly hard coating layer is coated on the outer surface of the base material is supported in a hermetic container with the use of a holder arranged in the container, then a complex oxide forming target formed from an Li and at least Al as main components, is arranged in the container into which oxygen is then fed, and en electric discharge is effected between the complex oxide forming target as an anode and the holder as a cathode so as to form an oxidation-resistance layer on the outer surface of the base material or the highly hard coating layer coated substance.	04-08-2010
20100113250	ULTRA HARD MATERIAL AND TOOL - An ultra hard alloy is a hard material with a high degree of toughness. Small amounts of various materials are added to achieve these properties. One such material is vanadium carbide (VC). However, a crushed carbide raw material has a large grain size, meaning the properties of a product cannot be improved uniformly.	05-06-2010
