Patent number: 9249944Abstract: It is provided a vehicle rear lamp structure that can effectively utilize light that is illuminated from a light source. A door side lamp portion of a rear combination lamp has a housing that supports an incandescent bulb for a back lamp, and a lens that covers the incandescent bulb for the back lamp by being fixed to the housing, and transmits light illuminated from the incandescent bulb for the back lamp. Further, a garnish is mounted to the door side lamp portion. A surface at the lens side of the garnish reflects light, that is illuminated from the incandescent bulb for the back lamp, toward a vehicle rear side. Due thereto, light illuminated from the incandescent bulb for the back lamp can be utilized effectively.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuji Noritake, Ken Nishioka

Patent number: 6014888Abstract: An environmental air is sucked by the pump with control unit, and organic solvent contained in the environmental air is collected by the absorbent. Organic solvent having passed through the absorbent is detected by the semiconductor gas sensor. If passage of a material to be measured is detected by the semiconductor gas sensor, operation of the pump with control unit is stopped, and the operation for collecting the material is terminated. Then the absorbent is taken out from the collecting tube, the material collected is quantified by means of gas chromatography, and the density is measured. With this configuration, measurement of a density of a material to be measured in a working environment can be executed accurately.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1998Date of Patent: January 18, 2000Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yuji Noritake, Hisako Murobushi, Hajime Hori
