Abstract: A vehicle headlamp has a projector-type lamp unit. The lamp unit has a lens holder. An external surface of the lens holder is formed in a convex circular-arc shape, centering on a rotation axis. As a result, even if the lamp unit rotates about the rotation axis, the clearance between the internal surface at the edge of an opening in an inner panel and the external surface of the lens holder is maintained substantially constant at all times.

Abstract: A system that manages non-routine file transfer actions efficiently. An apparatus for managing file transfer actions performs the steps of accepting entry of a file to be made open or the file's attribute information that identifies one of the transfer actions of the file, creating new attribute information for the file to be made open not including the attribute information and adding the new attribute information to the file, updating the attribute information for the file to be made open including the attribute information, storing combination of the identifier of the file to be made open and the attribute information added to the file into a file transfer actions database. The attribute information comprises a unique ID to uniquely identify a file, a sub-ID to uniquely identify one of transfer actions of the file, and a parent sub-ID which is included in updated attribute information to indicate its parent.

Abstract: A slip supply system for supplying slip to one or more casting molds includes a slip supply pipe 2 to which the base ends of pouring hoses 3 each having a pouring valve 4 are connected. The ends of the pouring hoses 3 are detachably connected to casting molds 1. A slip discharge pipe 20 having communicating holes 22 is laid in the vicinity of the slip supply pipe 2. The ends of the pouring hoses 3 are removed from the casting molds 1 and connected to the communicating ports 22 before supplying slip to the casting molds 1. Slip is fed in this condition, so that the solid matters attached to the interior of the slip supply pipe 2 and the interiors of the pouring hoses 3 are washed away to the slip discharge pipe 20. Thereafter, the ends of the pouring hoses 3 are connected to the casting molds 1 to feed slip to the casting molds 1.
