Abstract: A vehicle member join structure includes a sheet-shaped first member made of a lightweight metal, a sheet-shaped second member made of a ferrous metal, a rivet made of a ferrous metal and including a shaft that penetrates the first member and a head that remains at an outer surface of the first member, the shaft being welded to the second member so as to connect the first member and the second member together, and a waterproof section that prevents water ingress by covering a region where the rivet and the first member contact each other.

Abstract: A windscreen wiper control system controls a drive mechanism for at least one windscreen wiper arm to effect a reciprocating movement of the at least one windscreen wiper arm within a wiping range between a first position and a second position. The control system includes a detector that detects, upon activation of the control system, an uncertain position of the windscreen wiper arm within the wiping range but different from the first position. Upon detection of such an uncertain position, the control system returns the windscreen wiper arm to the first position at a predetermined reduced speed, the reduced speed being applied at least in a sub-range of the wiping range in the vicinity of the first position.

Abstract: In a jet printing ink composition, a dye dissolved in an oil phase. The oil phase is emulsified in an aqueous medium. The oil phase comprises an organic solvent having a boiling point of not lower than 150° C. The oil phase has a viscosity in the range of 20 to 8,000 mPa·s at 25° C. Droplets of the emulsified oil phase have a volumetric average diameter of not larger than 100 nm.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel heterylaniline azo dye as well as an ink-jet recording ink and an ink-jet recording method enabling the formation of an image having a good hue and high durability to light and ozone gas. The ink-jet recording ink contains a heterylaniline azo dye derivative having a novel structure. The ink-jet recording method is characterized in that an image is formed by using the ink described above on an image-receiving material comprising a support having thereon an ink-receiving layer containing white inorganic pigment particles.
