Abstract: A coil spring includes a wire rod and an elastic coat provided on the wire rod. The coil spring includes a coil section including a plurality of coil portions. The wire rod includes a round cross-sectional portion, a cross-section varying portion, and a rectangular cross-sectional portion along the longitudinal direction of the wire rod. The cross section of the rectangular cross-sectional portion is substantially square and has a first plane and a second plane. The first plane and the second plane oppose each other in the coil section. The elastic coat is provided on at least one of the first plane and the second plane. The elastic coat is continuous from the round cross-sectional portion to the cross-sectional variation portion and the rectangular cross-sectional portion.

Abstract: Provided is an optimal user interface for curbing sound generated by an imaging device. For this purpose, the imaging device includes a user interface control unit that performs user interface processing of enabling selection of whether or not to curb at least a part of sound generated in a first period from a power-on state until issuance of a transition instruction to a power-off state and a second period from the issuance of the transition instruction until the power-on state, and a switching control unit that changes control related to sound according to a selection result of the user interface processing.

Abstract: In a pneumatic tire, a plurality of belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of a carcass layer in a tread portion are formed of steel cords each having a 1×M structure formed of a number of wire strands. The number of wire strands corresponds to one to six wire strands. A tensile modulus of elasticity of the steel cords under 5 N to 50 N load is 130 GPa or more. The steel cords are arranged inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction to intersect each other in layers of the belt layers. The belt cover layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layers is formed of organic fiber cords having elongation of 2.0% to 4.0% under 2.0 cN/dtex load. The organic fiber cords are wound helically along the tire circumferential direction.

Abstract: A pneumatic radial tire includes belt layers disposed on an outer circumferential side of a carcass layer in a tread portion. The belt layers are formed of steel cords in a N+M structure in which the number of wire strands N of an inner layer is 2 to 4 and the number of wire strands M of an outer layer is 2 to 7. A twist direction of the inner layer is different from a twist direction of the outer layer. The steel cords are inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction to intersect each other in layers of the belt layers. A belt cover layer disposed on an outer circumferential side of the belt layers is formed of organic fiber cords having elongation of 2.0% to 4.0% under 2.0 cN/dtex load. The organic fiber cords are wound spirally along the tire circumferential direction.
