|WATER SPOUTING DEVICE - In a second tank unit, a controller controls the on/off switching of a water supply solenoid valve so that water is stored in a sub tank within the level of Lu to Ll. At the same time, the controller controls the on/off switching of a pressurizing solenoid valve and a decompressing solenoid valve so that the air pressure in the upper space in the sub tank is maintained at a target value. As a result, regardless of the water level in the sub tank, the back pressure in the tank is maintained at the target value higher than atmospheric pressure. In this state, when a central controller turns on a water spouting solenoid valve, pressured water rapidly spouts from a nozzle. Moreover, a change in the target values of the back pressure promptly changes the height of the spouting water. Accordingly, water spouting can be promptly started/stopped, and the height or size of the spouting water can be readily and smoothly changed.

|PRISMATIC CELL AND PRODUCTION METHOD FOR THE SAME - A wound electrode body is fabricated by laminating and winding positive and negative electrode sheets together with a separator therebetween for insulation. On both positive and negative electrode side ends of the wound electrode body, laminates of current-collecting foil layered portions of the electrode sheets are bent or folded f toward the outer peripheral side to be separated into two. The separated laminates and forked connector leaves are overlapped and clamped between an ultrasonic chip and an anvil. Then, they are welded. The forked connector leaves are arranged such that no opposing forked connector leaf is present in the direction of a line normal to the forked connector leaf, so that the anvil does not have to be cantilevered. This allows welding by using the ultrasonic chip and the anvil without interfering with the collector rs. As a result, the quality of welding is improved.

Wow, i really have written in a loooooooooooooooong time. This is only wut - my 2nd entry. i'm gonna try and write in here more often cuz maria is makin me - no cuz i want 2!! Well, a whole lot has changed since my last entry. I'm NOT homeschooled anymore and i don't like Justin anymore! Thats Maria's man!!! uhhh, schools almost over already - only like a month left!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. Yet in a way i'm not cuz all my friends - and yes Ethan, i DO have friends - are going to Centennial and my parents r MAKIN me go 2 Central!!! I hate that school so much. On every school spirit day i am seriously going to wear Centennial colors and i'm gonna decorate my locker in Centennial colors and everythin!!! I HATE CENTRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lately i have been feelin so down thinkin about how these last days at Jefferson are the last time i'm goin to get to walk down the hallway w/ my friends. Or eat lunch w/ them all in the lunchroom, or stop at thier lockers to say hi or just pass notes!! I think that is so sad and i have been cryin so much at nighttime lately!!! ughhhhhhhhh, my parents r bein poop heads like they usually r and r makin me go 2 bed right now or else i get grounded. ughhh, they have been gettin on my nerves sooooooooooo much lately. they can't say anythin positive or nice 2 me. if they said 1 thing, i would b in a good mood 4eva. but they r always tearin me down. ohhh, slept over at Lyndze's house last night! We had sooooooooooooooo much fun!!! Especially our long talk in the rain 2gether. k, really g2g. Love Abz!!!
This is abi and this was my first day of homeschooling. It really suxed. I don't really like adam anymore and i don't c how i even liked him in the 1st place. He is so ugly. He nevers talks 2 me and always ignores i'm even there when i am wit him. Some of my friends r talkin bhind my back and it is really makin me mad and sad, i don't know really which 1. AC was actually nice 2 me yesterday since it was my last day. It was the 1st day practically in the whole year. Not tat i really care anyway though cause i hate his guts and he is a pervert!!! I still have 2 go 2 band every mornin and then mom picks me up at 8:40 2 b homeschooled till 3:00. I hate it cause i never get 2 c my friends and ppls think i lied cause i still have 2 come 2 school and i am not at home. I think Justin is havin a bad influence on me. j/k!! Cause he is always sayin tat every1 hates him and he hates his life even though tat isn't true. Now tat is exactly how i am actin. I am probably actin like a bitch 2 other ppls. I really like Justin but he still goes out wit Jen K. It suxs but he is my bestest friend!!! I hate my life! I don't have no friends and no1 likes me!!!
