  • Patent number: 11980259
    Abstract: A molded hook surface fastener having a base plate and hook engaging elements projecting from a surface of the base plate, both the base plate and the hook engaging elements being formed of a resin mixture containing polybutylene succinate (A), a modified starch having an amylose content of 45% by weight or more (B), and polyvinyl alcohol (C). The resin mixture is further characterized by having both a continuous phase and a dispersed phase, with the polybutylene succinate (A) present in the continuous phase, and the modified starch (B) and polyvinyl alcohol (C) present in the dispersed phase.

  • Patent number: 10647184
    Abstract: A sunroof apparatus includes: a movable panel adapted to open and close an opening in a roof of a vehicle; a guide rail provided at each of both-side edge portions of the opening; a cable which has a driving-side engagement portion and is driven to move in a forward and backward direction of the vehicle; a slide member having a driven-side engagement portion engaging with the driving-side engagement portion, linked to each of both-side edge portions, and provided to be movable in the forward and backward direction, along the guide rail, so that movement of the slide member causes the movable panel to open and close; and a holding portion protruding from the slide member in the width direction of the vehicle and positioned backward of the cable to abut against or close to the cable.

  • Patent number: 6407806
    Abstract: An angle compensation method compensates for the angle of the light-receiving surface of a photodiode disposed in an inclination detection device. The light-receiving surface is divided into four parts by an a-axis and a b-axis disposed perpendicular to each other and receives light reflected from an object surface that is an X-Y plane. The inclination detection device seeks the inclination of the object surface from changes in the irradiation position of the light reflected onto the photodiode light-receiving surface.
