Abstract: Clothes includes: fabrics having a stretchability; and a joined part where the fabrics are fixed together using an adhesive. A difference between a stress of the joined part at 50% elongation in a longitudinal direction of the joined part and a stress of the fabrics fixed by the joined part at 50% elongation in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the joined part is within 30%.

Abstract: Provided is a garment made of a stretchable fabric and having an opening. The opening has a structure in which a fabric edge is folded back, and the fabric edge is fastened to a main body of the fabric with adhesives, a part of the opening is formed with a pattern in which curvature of the opening changes, and a row of the adhesives that are applied on a side closest to the edge of the fabric is applied within 2 mm from the edge of the fabric, and a difference between an average of spacings between adjacent adhesives applied in a row in a 3-cm section of a portion having the largest curvature radius at the opening and an average of spacings between adjacent adhesives applied in a row in a 3-cm section of a portion having a smaller curvature radius at the opening is within 15%.

Abstract: A socket installation structure of a refractory article is designed to prevent gas leakage therein. A first flange is provided between an outward end and an inward end of a socket, and a face of the first flange on the side of an inward end thereof is bonded to an article body of the refractory article through a sealing material. Further, a face of the first flange on the side of an outward end thereof faces a metal plate disposed around the outward end or a second flange provided on the side of the outward end, through a low thermally-conductive material layer made of a low thermally-conductive material having a thermal conductivity at room temperature of 40 (W/(m·K)) or less.

Abstract: Metal plates are placed on opposed surfaces of two heating plates, the metal plates are heated. Then, a hollow plate is placed between the two heating plates, and the two heating plates are moved toward each other. The metal plates, which are heated to a high temperature, are bonded to the outer surfaces of the hollow plate by thermal fusion caused by the heat of the metal plates. After the metal plates are brought into planar contact with the hollow plate, the heating plates are moved away from each other. The heating plates sandwich the hollow plate only for a very short time. Thus, the heat of the heating plates is not transferred excessively to the hollow plate.

Abstract: A vehicle seat controller includes a feedback controller, a speed instruction value setting unit, and an entrapment determination unit. The feedback controller performs speed feedback control so that a rotation speed of the motor follows a speed instruction value based on a difference of the speed instruction value and an actual speed of the rotation speed of the motor. The speed instruction value setting unit sets the speed instruction value in accordance with a position of the vehicle seat. The entrapment determination unit determines entrapment of a foreign object entrapped by the vehicle seat when the vehicle seat is motor-driven. When the entrapment determination unit makes a foreign object entrapment determination, the speed instruction value setting unit changes the speed instruction value for an entrapment position of the vehicle seat to a low speed value that is smaller than a predetermined initial value.

Abstract: A command determiner does not send a master command which it has received from a master device through a first interface circuit to a slave device if it determines that the master command does not need to be relayed. In this case, a power controller sets the power mode of a second interface circuit to a low power mode, and a response controller sends, as a slave command, a substitute command corresponding to the master command, which the command determiner has received from the master device through the first interface circuit, to the master device through the first interface circuit.
