  • Patent number: 11964294
    Abstract: A mist-generating device includes: a droplet generating unit that generates, in a third liquid, a functional droplet including a first liquid that is spherical and a second liquid that covers an entirety of the first liquid and has a volatility lower than a volatility of the first liquid; and a mist-generating unit that generates a multilayer mist obtained by atomizing the third liquid containing the functional droplet.

  • Publication number: 20210273394
    Abstract: A cable connection structure manufacturing method includes: covering, by a first electrode, an end face of an electric cable, and covering, by a second electrode, a terminal of a substrate; plastically deforming the first electrode and the second electrode having substantially same hardness by first scrubbing in which the first electrode and the second electrode rub against each other at a first pressure and a first amplitude; polishing the first electrode and the second electrode by second scrubbing in which the first electrode and the second electrode rub against each other at a second pressure smaller than the first pressure and a second amplitude smaller than the first amplitude; and bonding the first electrode and the second electrode at a third pressure higher than the first pressure.

  • Patent number: 10500897
    Abstract: A front wheel caliper bracket for supporting an axle is provided in a lower end portion of a front fork. A wheel speed sensor is mounted on the bracket. The wheel speed sensor includes a fixing section and a sensor section, and is mounted on a sensor mounting section of the bracket by a bolt. The sensor mounting section is integrally formed with a rotation regulating portion in a projecting fashion. When fastened by the bolt, a lateral part of the rotating wheel speed sensor comes into contact with the rotation regulating portion to regulate the rotation of the wheel speed sensor, so that the stress from the rotation regulating portion is not exerted directly on the sensor section.
