  • Patent number: 10167021
    Abstract: A vehicular resin panel structure is provided including a resin inner panel formed in a polygonal shape including a first edge portion, a second edge portion, and an angular portion, and fixed to a vehicle body at plural fixing points including a first fixing point and a second fixing point. The resin inner panel is further provided with a first rib further to an in-plane direction outer side of the resin inner panel than an imaginary line connecting the first fixing point and the second fixing point, and running along a direction intersecting the imaginary line. The first rib runs along a direction intersecting the imaginary line. The vehicular resin panel structure includes a resin outer panel including an outer end portion overlapping with the inner panel adhered to an inner end portion of the inner panel, and having a larger linear expansion coefficient than that of the inner panel.

  • Patent number: 8373886
    Abstract: An image processing device comprises an image data input means 2, an image data storage means 12 for storing the image data being input, an image data processing means 6 having multiple processing modes for outputting the stored image data, and a image data erasing means for erasing the image data stored in the storage means 12. The device further comprises erase count control means 8, 14 for controlling the number of times for erasing image data capable of having the number of times of erase set arbitrarily according to the security level required for each mode, and capable of having the set number of times of erase changed in mid-flow. Confidentiality is protected by performing erase operations repeatedly to the region storing the unnecessary image data according to the security level.
