Abstract: A vertical outer circumferential cutter tip, which has an approximate hourglass shape that is narrower at its middle than at its ends, and all of its eight corners are acute angles. Both sides of the vertical outer circumferential cutter tip are relieved at an angle ?. When performing cutting processing upon the side surface of a counter weight with the vertical outer circumferential cutter tip, excessive friction is prevented. The shapes of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the vertical outer circumferential cutter tip are formed so as to be very gently convexed, and with a relief of an angle ?. Abrasion of the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the vertical outer circumferential cutter tip is prevented before the acute angled corner used for cutting is damaged.

Abstract: Plural thermoplastic resin films, each having a circuit pattern formed thereon, are laminated. Via-holes filled with conductor paste are formed in the thermoplastic films to electrically connect neighboring layers. The laminated body is pressed under heat between a pair of hot press plates to thereby form an integral body of multi-layer circuit board. To apply a uniform pressure to the laminated body in the pressing process, a projected portion formed on a pressure-adjusting sheet is pushed against a portion of the laminated body where the number of laminated circuit patterns is smaller than other portions. In this manner, the plural thermoplastic films are uniformly bonded together, and the paste in the via-holes is sufficiently converted into an alloy. Thus, reliability of the laminated multi-layer circuit board is enhanced.

Abstract: In a road map data generation apparatus, existing primary road map data is subjected to a deletion process according to a deletion rule to delete a portion of the data. Thus, reduced road map data is generated for a storage medium such as a memory card having a data volume smaller than the primary road map data. A navigation apparatus using the reduced road map data stored in the memory card records a restoration rule pairing with the deletion rule. Based on the restoration rule, the reduced road map data can be restored to the primary road map data. Thus, the deletion rule can decrease the data volume of the primary data to thereby generate the reduced data, whereas the restoration rule can restore the reduced data to the primary data in the navigation apparatus. This helps prevent worsening of the quality of the road map data and lowering of the user's satisfaction.

Abstract: In a gas generator of the invention, a closure member is disposed so as to be connected to an outer circumferential wall side along a circumferential edge thereof in a housing and to close an outlet port which is formed in a ceiling wall of the housing. Thin breakable portions adapted to be broken when a squib is activated are formed in the closure member so as to extend substantially radially from a center of the closure member in a rectilinear fashion. When the squib 19 is activated, the breakable portions are broken, whereby portions of the closure member 11 which lie between the breakable portions are individually made to be opened radially. A stopper portion is formed on a closure member side surface of the ceiling wall such that the opened door portions are brought into abutment therewith so that the opening angles of the door portions become less than 90° while ensuring an angle at which combustion gas is allowed to flow out.

Abstract: A device for informing to a driver a speed limit set for an own lane included in a multi-lane road is installed in a navigation system mounted on an automotive vehicle. The device includes a road surface camera for taking pictures of the speed limit painted on a road surface and informing devices such as a display panel and/or a speaker. The speed limit set for the own lane is specified based on the pictures taken by the road surface camera, and the specified speed limit is informed to the driver. Speed limits set for neighboring lanes may be also specified, and if they are different from the speed limit set for the own lane, this is informed to the driver together with the speed limits set for the neighboring lanes. It is not required to distinguish the own lane from among other lanes included in the multi-lane road because the speed limit set for the own lane is detected by the camera mounted on the own vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicular display apparatus displays, as an unreal image at an on-road position in front of a vehicle, a bar-shaped image that indicates a distance from the on-road position to a spot for right/left turn in a guidance route. The unreal image is generated by using a liquid crystal panel via a windshield and seen by a driver by designating a display position of the bar-shaped image on the liquid crystal panel based on a distance from the vehicle to the spot and the distance from the on-road position to the spot. Further, based on an instruction operation of the driver, the display of the bar-shaped image is switched between (i) a first image and (ii) a second image, which is more blurry than the first image.
