Abstract: A wire harness has an exterior component (11a) that covers a certain part of at least one wires (12). The exterior component (11a) has parts having different hardness, including a relatively hard first part (111a), a relatively soft second part (112a), and a third part (113a) having an intermediate hardness between that of the first parts (111a, 112a). The first part is formed on a surface of the exterior component and functions as a shape keeping member and a protector. The second and third parts (112a, 113a) surround the certain part of the at least one wire 12 and each functions as a cushioning material and a muffler/soundproofing material. The first part (111a), the second part (112a), and the third part (113a) are formed integrally from a non-woven fabric (2) with thermo plasticity.

Abstract: A wire harness includes a bundle of electric wires and a protector protecting the bundle of electric wires by extending in a longitudinal direction of the bundle of electric wires and surrounding a portion thereof. The protector includes a base material and a binder material having a lower melting point than the base material, the protector being joined in a joint portion thereof by cooling and solidifying the melted binder material. In a case where a first side portion and a second side portion are each provided as a portion along the longitudinal direction in an outer peripheral surface of the protector and the second side portion is disposed opposite the first side portion with the bundle of electric wires therebetween, a portion of the binder material in each of the first side portion and the second side portion is melted, cooled, and solidified such that the second side portion is harder than the first side portion.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wire harness is provided. A portion of a wire is mounted on a first holder such that the portion of the wire is disposed between a thermoplastic material and another thermoplastic material, the thermoplastic material and the other thermoplastic material, that are mounted on the first holder, are pressed by heater-equipped the lower mold and the upper mold, thereby press-forming and heating the thermoplastic material and the other thermoplastic material, so that the portion of the wire is covered around with the thermoplastic material and the other thermoplastic material and that mutually contacting surfaces of the thermoplastic material and the other thermoplastic material are welded, and thereafter, the portion of the wire that is covered the thermoplastic material and the other thermoplastic material is removed from the lower mold and the upper mold while being mounted on an upper side of the first holder.

Abstract: A method of extracting the contents from the inside of a reactor kept at high temperature and high pressure includes the steps of introducing the contents of the reactor into a pipe having an internal space which communicates with the reactor, closing the pipe to enclose the contents in the internal space, removing unnecessary gas from the internal space, and supplying an inert gas to the internal space, thereby replacing the contents enclosed in the internal space with the inert gas. The contents are discharged from the internal space by replacing the contents enclosed in the internal space with the inert gas.

Abstract: A MEA-frame assembly is arranged in a mold for injection molding to form a first flow passage arranged so as to extend along the outer periphery of an electrode between the outer periphery of the electrode and the inner periphery of a frame, a second flow passage arranged so as to extend along an inner elastic member between the inner periphery and outer periphery of the frame and a plurality of connecting flow passages which communicate the first flow passage with the second flow passage.

Abstract: An antenna structure includes a radiation conductor made of a metal plate that is supported by legs provided upright on a surface of a dielectric substrate and is spaced apart from the surface. The radiation conductor is circularly shaped such that the contour of the radiation conductor conforms to the outer periphery of the dielectric substrate and such that the radiation conductor includes an open portion. One of the legs functions as a feeding terminal and the other functions as a grounding terminal, whereby the radiation conductor operates as a dipole antenna. The radiation conductor has slots for adjusting impedance. Impedance can be adjusted by changing the length of the slots.
