Abstract: A striker on a lower part of a doorway of a vehicle body includes: first and second engagement parts on a metal base and fixed to the vehicle body to be apart from each other to respectively engage with a door latch device on a lower part of a door capable of closing the doorway and a dislocation prevention part adjacent the door latch device; a pair of front and rear engagement pieces on a vehicle interior side of the base respectively opposite the first and second engagement parts; a reinforcing piece between the first and second engagement pieces; and an elastic body fixed to the base by the first and second engagement pieces and the reinforcing piece. The elastic body has a convex portion that abuts against an inner panel of the door when the door is closed. The convex portion is supported by the reinforcing piece.

Abstract: The information processing apparatus includes a computation processing circuit of which a state is capable of being switched at least between an active state in which power is consumed, and a no-power-usage state in which power is not consumed; an event detection module that detects a first event used to shift the state of the computation processing circuit from the no-power-usage state to the active state; a power isolation circuit that isolates power of the event detection module from power of the computation processing circuit in the no-power-usage state; and an isolation canceling circuit that cancels, in the active state, the isolation performed by the power isolation circuit.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a structure is provided in which a burr portion can be more reliably cut. In a burr portion shaping step, the burr portion is sucked to an engaging portion by a suction part to shape the burr portion along the engaging portion, and in a cutting step, ae movable portion is moved relative to first and second split molds with the burr portion being shaped along the engaging portion, thereby the burr portion is cut from a molded main body along a cutting line.

Abstract: An acoustic wave device is disclosed. The acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric layer, an interdigital transducer electrode positioned over the piezoelectric layer, and an anti-refection layer over a conductive layer of the interdigital transducer electrode. The conductive layer can include aluminum, for example. The anti-reflection layer can include silicon. The anti-reflection layer can be free from a material of the interdigital transducer electrode. The acoustic wave device can further include a temperature compensation layer positioned over the anti-reflection layer in certain embodiments.

Abstract: A controller includes a determination circuit, a setting circuit, and a control circuit. The determination circuit is configured to determine whether a chatter vibration is occurring while a spindle is rotating and a workpiece is being cut. The setting circuit is configured to set an upper limit and a lower limit on a change amount of a rotational speed of the spindle. The control circuit is configured to determine the change amount randomly from a range between the upper limit and the lower limit and configured to rotate the spindle at a second rotational speed obtained by changing a first rotational speed by the change amount that has been determined if the chatter vibration is determined as occurring while the control circuit controls the rotational speed of the spindle at the first rotational speed.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a nitrogen discharge lamp includes: a first evacuation step for evacuating the gas in a glass tube, a first gas introduction step for introducing nitrogen gas into the glass tube that has undergone the first evacuation step, a preliminary discharge step for producing electric discharge in the glass tube that has undergone the first gas introduction step, a second evacuation step for evacuating the gas inside the glass tube that has undergone the preliminary discharge step, and a second gas introduction step for introducing at least nitrogen gas and a noble gas into the glass tube that has undergone the second gas introduction step.

Abstract: A music performance information searching apparatus and a music performance information replacing apparatus. The music performance information searching apparatus includes a ROM or RAM for storing music performance data, a control panel or a keyboard for inputting search data to be searched, and a display unit or a sound source for outputting information of any searched part of the music performance data. The apparatus searches the music performance data stored in the ROM or RAM for a part of the music performance data which corresponds to the input search data, and outputs that searched part to the display unit or sound source. The music performance information replacing apparatus includes a ROM or RAM for storing music performance data, and a control panel or a keyboard for inputting search data to be searched and replacement data.

Abstract: A hose coupler particularly suitable for spiral wire reinforced hoses having either one or both of their outside and inside surfaces embossed by the spiral reinforcement of metal or synthetic resin material provided either externally wound about the outside or internally imbedded between the two pliers along the entire hose length, is disclosed, which has a cylindrical sleeve for enclosing the engaged end of the hose about the nipple. This sleeve is itself encased within the back nut, when it is engaged with the main body. An annular projection is formed in the inside of the sleeve at its one end, which is provided to be pressed against the outside of the hose over a longitudinal range that is not less than the pitch of the reinforcement helix in the hose. A tubular seal is provided wound about the outside of the nipple at its forward end. The tubular seal is formed to have its longitudinal length to match the dimension of the contacted surface of the projection.
