Abstract: The preset invention is to mold a laminate at a high accuracy by appropriately generating slippage between fiber sheets of the laminate at bending. A method for molding a laminate includes a step in which a plurality of gripping parts, which are arranged apart from each other, grip an area, wherein slippage between fiber sheets is prevented, in a plate-shaped laminate including a plurality of fiber sheets laminated each other; a step in which the plurality of gripping parts grip the area wherein slippage between the fiber sheets is prevented, while maintaining the state wherein relative moving of the area of the laminate and the gripping parts is prevented; and a step in which the gripping parts move so as to subject the laminate to bending.

Abstract: A gasket is provided that can be easily assembled into an annular gap. The gasket is inserted from one end side toward the other end side of a shaft member into an annular gap between a housing and a shaft member at least partially inserted into the housing. The gasket includes a cylindrical main body portion inserted into the housing and fixed to the housing, and a seal portion extending from an inner peripheral surface of the main body portion and abutting on an outer peripheral surface of the shaft member. The seal portion is composed of a protrusion extending in the entire circumferential direction and protruding inward in the radial direction at an intermediate portion in the insertion direction in the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus transmits, to a server, setting information including specification information of a camera based on input manipulation of the user, environment information indicating an environment in which the camera is installed, and a map image of a place where the camera is installed. The server calculates a capturing area of the camera in the map image, places a subject model that serves as a capturing target of the camera at a prescribed position in the capturing area and generates a synthesized image, generates a face image and a whole body image of the subject model located at the prescribed position that is inferred to be captured by the camera, transmits the synthesized image and the face image and the whole body image of the subject model to the terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus displays the synthesized image, the face image and the whole body image of the subject model.

Abstract: A miniaturized speaker apparatus including a cabinet to which a first speaker unit for reproducing a low frequency range is installed; second speaker units for reproducing a medium frequency range and/or a high frequency range; and supporting members for supporting the second speaker units on their tip end sides, the supporting members being supported by the cabinet so as to rotatably move between a first position, where the second speaker units are spaced apart from the cabinet, and a second position, where the second speaker units are positioned on the cabinet side making the speaker apparatus convenient for carrying.

Abstract: A speaker system has a first baffle (2) supporting a first speaker unit for producing sounds in a first frequency range (low frequencies), at least one second baffle (27L), (27R) supporting a second speaker unit for producing sounds in a second frequency range which is higher than the first frequency range (middle and/or high frequencies), the second baffles (27L), (27R) being smaller than the first baffles (2). The second baffle (27L), (27R) are spaced a predetermined distance from the first baffle (2). The speaker system has a reduced baffle effect, and increases direct sounds radiated directly from the speaker units, as compared with indirect sounds radiated backwards from a baffle, thereby improving frequency characteristics in the middle frequencies and providing excellent sound image localization.
