FIG. 2 is a view that also shows the bumper reinforcement 10, and FIG. 2(a) is a plan view seen from above in a state where the bumper reinforcement 10 is arranged in the vehicle, and FIG. 2(b) is a front view seen from a front side of the vehicle. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a rectangular metal plate material 12, which is a material of the bumper reinforcement 10. In this example, a steel plate for hot press forming is used, which is bent into a given shape by hot press forming, and is given high strength up to tensile strength of 1400 MPa or higher through quench hardening.

Abstract: A centrifuge including a rotor, a rotor chamber having an opening, a motor, a door configured to close the opening, an input/output unit configured to receive an input of an operating condition and to display an operating status, and a housing accommodating therein the rotor, the rotor chamber, the motor, the door and the input/output unit, wherein the housing has the opening at an upper surface thereof, wherein a light emitting part having a horizontal width longer than the opening is provided in the vicinity of a corner portion at which the upper surface and a front surface of the housing intersect with each other or in the vicinity of a front side of the opening, and wherein a light emitting form of the light emitting part is configured to be changed depending on the operating status.

Abstract: A bumper-stay mounting structure includes a rear side member, a bumper stay and a load transmission member, in the bumper-stay mounting structure, a load being transmitted intensively to a lower side of a rear end portion of the rear side member, the bumper-stay mounting structure, the load transmission member having, on an inner peripheral side of a fastened portion, a protruding portion in a box shape, which protrudes toward the rear portion of the bumper stay in the vehicle longitudinal direction so as to be inserted into an opening of the bumper stay; and a side wall of the protruding portion having a substantially U-shaped cross section that is perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal direction, is opened on a vehicle upper side, and is provided with, at a front end edge of the side wall, a flange extending outward from a side wall as the fastened portion.

Abstract: A bumper reinforcement for a vehicle having projecting portions apart from each other in a vehicle up-down direction, and projecting toward a vehicle outer side, and the bumper reinforcement includes a linear portion at center in the width direction, a pair of inclined portions at respective ends, and a pair of curved portions smoothly connecting the linear portion and the inclined portions in a plan view seen from above. The curved portions are provided symmetrically with respect to a center in the width direction, inside a pair of support portions fixed to a vehicle body. The curved portions are low strength portions, in each of which a width in the up-down direction is expanded, and the number of the projecting portions is relatively small or a projecting dimension of the projecting portion is reduced. The linear portion and the inclined portion are not the low strength portions but general portions.

Abstract: To order to provide an RF receiving coil having a structure that can be safely mounted on an object and an MRI apparatus including the RF receiving coil, the RF receiving coil includes a main body having one or more flexible closed conductor loops for receiving a nuclear magnetic resonance signal, a flexible outer cover section that covers the closed conductor loop, a preamplifier section that amplifies the nuclear magnetic resonance signal received by the closed conductor loop, and a housing section in which the preamplifier section is housed and which is more rigid than the outer cover section. The RF receiving coil is mounted on the object in a state where the main body is bent such that the end surfaces of both ends of the main body face each other, and the MRI apparatus performs imaging using such an RF receiving coil.

Abstract: An electric steering lock device is provided that includes a column pipe, a steering shaft pivotably passed through the interior of the column pipe, and an electric lock unit that has an electric motor and that can switch in response to operation of the electric motor between a locked state, in which pivoting of the steering shaft is prevented, and an unlocked state in which pivoting of the steering shaft is permitted, wherein the electric lock unit is disposed within the column pipe. This arrangement can advantageously make breakage or unauthorized unlocking of the electric lock unit difficult.

Abstract: An electric driver includes a hook portion which is constituted by a deformable hook-like portion and a connecting portion for connecting the hook-like portion to the handle. The hook-like portion is constituted by a base portion connected to the connecting portion and a bent portion continuous to the base portion, and a front end portion continuous to the bent portion and arranged at a position substantially opposed to the base portion. The front end portion and the base portion can be proximate to and remote from each other. The connecting portion holds the hook-like portion in a direction substantially the same as a direction in which the handle extends. The hook-like portion is pivotably held on a first rotating axis center extending in substantially the same direction as the handle.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device includes the steps of carrying a substrate in a processing chamber, bringing the processing chamber into a state at a first pressure by supplying a silicon compound gas which contains carbon and hydrogen into the processing chamber, forming a silicon oxide film on the substrate by irradiating a UV light to the silicon compound gas supplied into the processing chamber in the state kept at the first pressure, and decompression process to bring the processing chamber into a state at a second pressure lower than the first pressure. This makes it possible to form the dense silicon oxide film in the trench with high aspect ratio and small width.
