Abstract: A collision avoidance apparatus includes an obstacle detection unit to detect an obstacle ahead of a vehicle; an approaching object detection unit to detect an approaching object approaching the vehicle from behind the vehicle; and an electronic control unit to calculate a collision time until the vehicle collides with the obstacle, based on the distance and relative speed of the obstacle, and starts a drive support to avoid a collision with the obstacle when the vehicle speed is a lower limit speed or greater, and the collision time is a threshold or less. When there is a likelihood for the object to collide with the vehicle from behind the vehicle, the electronic control unit lowers the lower limit speed, and/or starts drive support when the collision time is the threshold or less, even when the vehicle speed is less than the lower limit speed.

Abstract: A bending die used in the apparatus for manufacturing the automotive suspension arm to bend a rod-like raw material and produce a bent material includes a lower bending die including a mounting portion for mounting thereon the rod-like raw material and an upper bending die including a pressing portion for vertically pressing the rod-like raw material mounted on the lower bending die. The mounting portion and the pressing portion include a lower die contact portion and an upper die contact portion each formed into a shape along the bent shape of the bent material to come in contact with the bent material. The lower die contact portion includes, in the middle portion thereof, a groove portion formed to have a size which allows a moving means to grip the bent material in non-contact relation with the bent material.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a large- or medium-sized wheel disk including using a punch or die in a first step of ironing a blank of a flat plate to a first-stage product. The first-stage product having a cylindrical rising portion with an axially non-constant thickness. The rising portion includes a thick portion located at a tip portion of the rising portion and a thickness-reduced portion which is a remaining portion of the rising portion excluding the thick portion. During the first step, only a portion of the blank corresponding to the thickness-reduced portion is ironed.

Abstract: An antenna cover (1) for a radar (2) for a vehicle has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, having a flat cover top (10) that faces a microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) of the radar (2) and a sidewall (11) that covers the microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) sideways. The sidewall (11) is located out of the range where the electromagnetic waves to be received by the microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) are directly received. An inner face (11a) of the sidewall (11) is at a right angle to the cover top (10). An outer face (11b) of the sidewall (11) is at a constant angle ? larger than 0 degree but smaller than 90 degrees, to the inner face (11a) of the sidewall (11). The sidewall (11) is structured such that its thickness increases toward the side where the microstrip antenna (21a, 21b) is present.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tubular member having a non-constant thickness by ironing at least a portion of the tubular material. The ironing apparatus can have a punch and a die, and the die can have a convex and concave side surface opposing the punch. The method can include bending an axial end portion of the tubular material to form a bent portion. The tubular material can then axially engage the die at the bent portion, and then the punch can be moved relative to the die to iron at least a portion of the tubular material.

Abstract: An IP telephone system comprises a main device that manages outgoing and incoming calls of an IP telephone device, an external storage device storing network configuration information and telephone device configuration information, and an IP telephone device comprising a first interface section that uses in connection to the external storage device and a second interface section that uses in connection to a network. When automatically carrying out internal setting by connecting the external storage device to the first interface section, the IP telephone device obtains the network configuration information and the telephone device configuration information from the external storage device and, based on the obtained network configuration information and telephone device configuration information, carries out network setting and telephone device setting. The IP telephone device accesses the main device through the second interface section based on the setting and performs confirmation of the set contents.
