Abstract: A clutch includes a clutch housing, a driving rotating body, a driven rotating body, a roller arranged between the clutch housing and the driven rotating body, a support member that holds the roller between the clutch housing and the driven rotating body, and grease arranged between the clutch housing and the roller. The support member includes a guiding portion that guides grease, which has been moved from a space between the clutch housing and the roller, to the space between the clutch housing and the roller during rotation.

Abstract: A steering system includes a steered shaft, a ball screw nut, balls, a housing, a rolling bearing, and a snap ring configured to prevent the rolling bearing from detaching from the ball screw nut. The rolling bearing includes double-row rolling element arrays, an outer ring, a first inner ring, and a second inner ring. The ball screw nut has a receiving portion. The snap ring contacts a side face of the second inner ring to push the second inner ring toward the receiving portion via the first inner ring. A resistance force received from the second outer peripheral fitting surface when the second inner ring moves in the axial direction in a state in which detachment of the rolling bearing is not prevented by the snap ring is smaller than a pushing force with which the snap ring pushes the second inner ring.

Abstract: There is provided a radar device. An estimating unit estimates peak signals corresponding to a target in the latest periods of each of UP and DOWN beat sections of a beat signal on the basis of histories of peak signals corresponding to the target in past periods of the UP and DOWN beat sections. A pairing unit extracts peak signals within predetermined ranges defined with reference to the estimate peak signals on the basis of the histories, and pairs the extracted peak signals. In a case where a distance to the target is equal to or shorter than a predetermined value, the pairing unit extracts peak signals corresponding to the target, from a first range which is a predetermined angular range defined with reference to the estimate peak signals, or a second range which is a predetermined transverse position range defined with reference to the estimate peak signals.

Abstract: An opening-closing body drive device includes a motor that opens and closes an opening-closing body; and a controller that controls driving of the motor. The controller recognizes an arrested position of the motor during a closing action as a reference position and performs an entrapment process in a section excluding a mask section from the reference position to a predetermined position toward an opening direction side. The controller updates the reference position when the arrested position of the motor is located toward a closing direction side of a set position, which is set in the mask section, and does not update the reference position when the arrested position of the motor is located toward an opening direction side of the set position.
