Abstract: An optical sheet includes a light scattering layer which scatters light made incident from an incident surface to an emission surface side and a plurality of light reflecting portions which reflect light scattered by the light scattering layer to the light scattering layer side. The optical sheet further includes a plurality of light transmitting portions constituted of an air layer for transmitting the scattered light to lenticular sheets. The plurality of the light transmitting portions are arranged along a longitudinal direction so as to form a convex portion with respect to a non-lens surface. Consequently, the light reflecting portions and the light transmitting portions are disposed alternately in stripes along an arrangement direction.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a process for forming an electrodeposition coating film, wherein generation of gas pinhole is reduced and coating film appearance is excellent without using a specific resin as a binder resin. The present invention relates a process for forming an electrodeposition coating film having reduction of generation of gas pinhole, comprising a step of electrocoating by immersing an article to be coated in a cationic electrodeposition coating composition, wherein, the cationic electrodeposition coating composition comprises 10 to 30 parts by weight of a pigment comprising zinc oxide based on 100 parts by weight of a solid content of the coating composition, and the content of zinc oxide contained in the pigment is 0.25 to 5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the pigment.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a cationic electrodeposition coating composition which is free of toxic rust-preventive pigments such as lead compounds and capable of giving coating films having high resistance to corrosion and rusting, even when applied to a substrate surface which is only insufficiently subjected, to a chemical conversion treatment. The present invention provides a cationic electrodeposition coating composition which comprises a rust inhibitor comprising at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds containing any of elemental metals belonging to the period 4, 5 or 6 of group 3 of the periodic table and a sulfonium- and propargyl group-containing resin composition. For, example, the content of said rust inhibitor is 0.03 to 10 weight parts in terms of the elemental metal in the rust inhibitor based on 100 weight parts of the solid resins in the resin composition.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling a releasing action of a lock-up clutch in a power transmitting system of a motor vehicle wherein the lock-up clutch is disposed between a pump impeller connected to an engine, and a turbine impeller operatively connected to a drive wheel of the motor vehicle, the lock-up clutch being engaged for direct connection of the pump impeller and the turbine impeller, the apparatus including a lock-up clutch switching device for effecting a releasing action of the lock-up clutch from a fully engaged state thereof to a fully released state thereof, and an engine output reducing device for temporarily reducing an output of the engine upon the releasing action of the lock-up clutch.

Abstract: A mouse unit is used as input means for personal computers and work stations. The mouse unit is used and operated on a broad and plane surface. A proposal has been made that when a mouse is separated from a plane surface, the mouse can continue to output the data at a certain speed. Such a proposal requires a particular device for detecting the state of the mouse contacting the plane surface. The invention provides a mouse unit which can improve the operation of the mouse without the need of any particular device. The mouse unit outputs movement data which is received by a reception buffer. A processing portion estimates time when the speed of the moving mouse becomes zero from a characteristic value inherent in the mouse held in a characteristics holding portion the movement data from the reception buffer.

Abstract: A device is provided for communicating with a second device in a remote groupware operation. The device includes a sending driver for sending data to the second device, a program operating unit for operating a general purpose application program, an input detector for inputting input data to the general purpose application program, and a input and sending driver for providing the general purpose application program with the input data and for providing the sending driver with the input data to send the input data to the second device.

Abstract: According to this invention, common tool codes for specifying tools are used in a whole system, a T code command including tool codes, tool shape information and tool machining ability information are inputted into each NC machine, and this information is converted into local information of individual NC machines to perform machining. The tool codes and the tool information can be subjected to centralized control as a whole in the system.

Abstract: A vehicle has at least two wheels, a transmission mechanism, and a clutch which can be selectively engaged to at least partially rotationally couple together these two wheels. This anti torque shock control device includes a means for detecting whether or not shift range of the transmission mechanism is a vehicle non driving range or a vehicle driving range, and a means for controlling the clutch to be at least partially engaged, when shift range of the transmission mechanism alters from a vehicle non driving range to a vehicle driving range. Thus torque shock and power train noise at this time are effectively prevented. The method of operation of this device is also described.

Abstract: A transfer in combination with a transmission mechanism for a four wheel drive vehicle is provided comprising a first output shaft aligned with the transmission mechanism, a second output shaft extending parallel to the first output shaft, a power transmission mechanism for transmitting driving force from the first to the second output shaft, and a clutch coaxially mounted on the second output shaft for connecting and disconnecting the second output shaft to and from the power transmission mechanism. In addition to the clutch between the second output shaft and the power transmission mechanism, another clutch may be provided between the first output shaft and the power transmission mechanism. The transmission/transfer further includes parking locks for stopping the rotation of the first and second output shafts.

Abstract: In a 2WD/4WD transmission system for a vehicle including a central differential device for variably differentiating rotational power between a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, and a clutch for selectively locking the differential device for positive four wheels driving, an anti torque shock device is incorporated therein, to suppress occurrence of shock due to a backlash in the differential device being abruptly cancelled when the transmission system was shifted from non condition of the transmission system and at least temporarily engaging the clutch to lock the differential device when the transmission system is shifted into the driving engagement.

Abstract: A transmission control device for controlling the operation of a transmission system which has an automatic main transmission and a manually operable sub transmission. The shifting characteristics of the sub transmission are controlled in accordance with the level of the torque inputted to the sub transmission, so that the transmission as a whole exhibits a superior speed changing performance.
