Abstract: A steering apparatus includes a gear lock mechanism that fastens a first side plate to a second side plate by a fastening member. In a lock operation, a main body of the fastening member of a fastening mechanism presses a second tooth row forming member toward the first side plate, and a guided projection of the fastening member rotates slightly in the range of play in a lock direction. The fastening member slightly rotates the second tooth row forming member in the lock direction via a restricting portion. During the slight rotation, a second tooth row of the second tooth row forming member is aligned with and meshes with a first tooth row of the first side plate.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for collecting errors which occur while a user uses a computer includes collecting log information on an operating environment including an operating procedure from a computing device associated with a user; accumulating the collected log information; identifying, from the log information, a second operating procedure similar to the operating procedure, wherein the second operating procedure had an error occur and no longer includes the error, in response to receiving the log information corresponding to the operating procedure in which the error occurs; and providing the user with the second operating procedure included in the searched log information.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a device includes a collection unit, an estimation unit, and a display control unit. The collection unit is configured to collect a record of a process operated on a computer by a user. The estimation unit is configured to estimate a time slot when the process is to be activated, based on the collected record. The display control unit is configured to change, by a computer processor, a display mode of a display item for activating the process according to the estimated time slot, on a screen of the computer.

Abstract: A steering system includes an outer tube at an upper side and an inner tube at a lower side that slide relative to each other in an axial direction when shock is absorbed. A first sliding resistance reducing element, which comes into contact with an inner periphery of the outer tube, and reduces sliding resistance between both the tubes, is retained in at least a circumferential lower region of an axial upper end portion of the inner tube. A second sliding resistance reducing element, which comes into contact with an outer periphery of the inner tube, and reduces the sliding resistance between both the tubes, is retained in at least a circumferential upper region of an axial lower end portion of the outer tube.

Abstract: A stationary tooth row is provided in a restricted member that is not displaced together with a steering wheel during tilt adjustment of a steering system. A movable tooth row is provided in a movable member that is displaced in a tilt direction) together with the steering wheel during tilt adjustment. The movable tooth row includes a first movable tooth and second movable teeth. A first curvature radius of a tooth tip of the first movable tooth is made smaller than a second curvature radius of a tooth tip of each of the second movable teeth to make a tooth depth of the first movable tooth greater than a tooth depth of each of the second movable teeth.

Abstract: A system, a server, a method, and a computer program are described for relaying an electronic mail without a leak of secret information included in a quoted electronic mail to an unintended recipient without impairing the usability of the electronic mail system. The server receives an electronic mail that is newly created by one of the clients with quotation from one or a plurality of electronic mails received in the past. The server determines, for each quoted electronic mail quoted in the received electronic mail, whether a destination designated in the received electronic mail is included in an originator and a destination set in each quoted electronic mail. The server edits the content of each quoted electronic mail that is determined not to include the destination designated in the received electronic mail. The server transfers the electronic mail including the edited quoted electronic mail to the designated destination.

Abstract: An email is created that includes one or more destination email addresses, plus historical information regarding previously exchanged emails. Before sending this email, each of the destination email addresses is checked against the email addresses in the historical information and, if a destination email address (or the domain name of that destination address) is not found in the historical information, then a warning is displayed to alert the user to the fact that this historical information may be sent to an unintended recipient. In response to this warning, which may include a list of unapproved destination email address, the user may approve a previously unapproved destination email address, change the unapproved destination email address to one that has been previously approved, or enter a new distribution email to be substituted for the unapproved one. When creating the email, the user may also specify other approved email addresses.
