Abstract: There is provided a robot device including: a head portion coupled to a trunk; four leg portions on a front left, a front right, a rear left, and a rear right coupled to the trunk; a first indirect portion that tilts the head portion left and right; and a second joint portion that rotates, with respect to the trunk, one of the leg portions on the rear left and the rear right to a front side, and the other to a rear side. It is possible to faithfully reproduce the movement of the four-legged animal by providing the first joint portion and the second joint portion.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing device, and an information processing method for curbing occurrence of a feeling of strangeness in augmented reality in a use environment for a plurality of people. Position information indicating the self position of an AR device that outputs an AR object that is shown to the user as if the AR object existed in real space is acquired by the AR technology, and a deviation weight which is an evaluation value indicating how easily a plurality of users recognizes that an arrangement position of the AR object is deviated from each other on the basis of position information of a plurality of the AR devices and the arrangement position of the AR object. Then, the output method of the AR object is adjusted according to the deviation weight to make it difficult to recognize occurrence of the deviation.

Abstract: A heater control device controls an electric heater which includes a plurality of heat generating portions. The heater control device determines whether a total energization current value, which is a current value to be supplied to the electric heater when all of the plurality of heat generating portions are energizable, exceeds a predetermined current limit value. The heater control device is configured to, when it is determined that the total energization current value exceeds the current limit value, energize the electric heater while switching, among any or all of the plurality of heat generating portions, those to be turned to a non-energizable off state.

Abstract: A sealing device located between an inner member and an outer member that rotate relative to each other, for sealing a gap between the inner member and the outer member, includes a first sealing member that is to be mounted on the outer member and a second sealing member that is to be mounted on the inner member. Multiple water-discharging protrusions are supported by at least one of the first sealing member and the second sealing member. The multiple water-discharging protrusions protrudes in a space located between an annular part of the first sealing member and a flange part of the second sealing member and are arranged in a circumferential direction. Each water-discharging protrusion includes an inclined side surface intersecting at an acute angle with a rotational direction in which at least one of the inner member and the outer member rotates.

Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a balance shaft friction damper (1) capable of preventing a torque reduction of a lip sliding surface while ensuring an axial flow path for a lubricant to stably circulate the lubricant.

Abstract: A reciprocating seal used, for example, for a shock absorber. A main seal lip has a two-step lip structure including a first lip and a second lip and a plurality of protrusions extending in the direction of the shaft are formed on a sliding contact surface of the second lip, thereby improving frictional force characteristics and, at the same time, improving sealing performance.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reciprocating seal used, for example, for a shock absorber. A main seal lip 32 has a two-step lip structure including a first lip 32a and a second lip 32b and a plurality of protrusions 34 extending in the direction of the shaft are formed on a sliding contact surface of the second lip 32b, thereby improving frictional force characteristics and, at the same time, improving sealing performance.

Abstract: A system for controlling on-board air-conditioner according to the present invention includes input/output means such as sensors and driving motors, a control means such as a microcomputer, and input/output circuits connecting the input/output means to the control means. Means for generating diagnosis information, such as failure flag-setting circuits, feedback circuits and current sensors detecting sensor signals, are included in the input/output circuits. Upon receiving a request for diagnosis from an outside diagnosis device, diagnosis data including positions and nature of the failures occurred in the control system are outputted, taking into consideration the diagnosis information generated and stored in the control means. The diagnosis data may be displayed on a display panel of the outside diagnosis device. The diagnosis information generating means may be simply added to existing input/output circuits to thereby constitute cost-effectively the control system having a diagnosis function.

Abstract: A sealing device in which a main seal lip used for a shock absorber is formed in a one-stage structure, wherein a satin finishing portion is formed on a sliding surface of the main lip at a position apart a specified distance from a lip edge.

Abstract: A sealing device in which a main seal lip used for a shock absorber is formed in a one-stage structure, wherein lattice-shaped projections that include a plurality of projections extending along a sliding direction and a plurality of projections extending along a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction are formed on a sliding surface of the main lip at a position apart a specified distance from a lip edge.

Abstract: In a sealing device (1) , in which a main seal lip (6) used for a shock absorber is formed in a one-stage seal lip structure, for the purpose to improve friction characteristics while securing sealing performance, a roughened portion (63) to which satin finishing is applied to form projections and recessions on the surface thereof is formed on the sliding surface (61) of the main seal lip (6) slidably moving on a contacting member at a position apart a specified distance from a lip edge (62). An area between the lip edge (62) and the portion where the roughened portion (63) is formed is a plane portion (64) to which the satin finishing for forming irregularities is not applied. In place of the satin finishing, a plurality of axially extending projections (65), concave threads (67), or lattice-shaped projections (68) may be formed on the roughened portion.
