Abstract: A center console includes an article placement portion, a front block portion, a rear block portion, a bridge portion, an inclination wall, and a terminal connection port. The front block portion is arranged at a forward position of the article placement portion. The rear block portion is arranged at a rearward position of the article placement portion. The bridge portion is provided on the front block portion and the rear block portion. The bridge portion is arranged above the article placement portion to interpose a space portion and has a width in a vehicle width direction which is narrower than that of the article placement portion. The inclination wall is arranged on a front section of the article placement portion and is inclined to a vehicle forward side toward an upward direction. The terminal connection port is arranged on the inclination wall. The terminal connection port is arranged at a position that does not overlap the bridge portion in a top view.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a dye-sensitized solar cell that can exhibit high electrical power corresponding to high photoelectric conversion efficiency. Provided is a dye-sensitized solar cell in which a photoelectrode and a counter electrode are disposed opposite to each other via an electrolyte layer; (1) the photoelectrode comprising a titanium material and a titanium oxide layer containing a dye sensitizing agent formed on the titanium material; (2) the counter electrode comprising a transparent conductive glass or transparent conductive film coated with an electrochemical-reduction catalyst layer; and (3) a light-concentrating device being disposed on the counter electrode side.

Abstract: A machine tool assembling apparatus and a method of assembling a machine tool using the machine tool assembling apparatus are provided. The machine tool assembling apparatus includes a table, a first support mechanism having an arm which is swingable toward and away from the table, and a second support mechanism. The first support mechanism is disposed between the table and the second support mechanism. The first support mechanism is rotated to bring the arm into facing relation to either the table or the second support mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus for viewing an oblique forward area of a vehicle whereby light incident from outside a passenger compartment is prevented from reflecting. The apparatus includes a sub-window pane supported by a front pillar and a sub-pillar, a mirror housing of a door mirror for displaying a rear of the vehicle, and a first reflective mirror for displaying an area in front and to one side of the vehicle. The first reflective mirror is provided to the mirror housing. The apparatus also includes a second reflective mirror for reflecting the light reflected by the first reflective mirror toward a driver. The sub-window pane is disposed further toward the outside in a vehicle widthwise direction than a line passing over cross-sectional vehicle-widthwise direction centers of the front pillar and the sub-pillar. An outside edge of the second reflective mirror is positioned in the vicinity of the sub-window pane.

Abstract: Pillar garnish (20) has: a fixation section (52) integrally provided on its rear wall section (51) adjacent to a vehicle occupant's seat (30), the fixation section being mounted to a portion (28) of the pillar (11) facing the occupant's seat; and a swing preventing section (54) provided on a side wall section (53) of the garnish forwardly of the fixation section for preventing the garnish from swinging about the fixation section, the side wall section (53) extending from the rear wall section toward a front wall section of the pillar for covering the inner side surface (11a) of the pillar. The pillar is accommodated in an area (81) between a front edge portion (74) of the side wall section and the lateral outward end (51a) of the rear wall section with a closed-sectional-shape section (22) of the pillar sandwiched therebetween.
