Abstract: Provided is a toroidal continuously variable transmission that can create a jet of oil resistant to the influence of wind generated by rotation of a power roller, thereby feeding a sufficient amount of oil to the power roller to cool the power roller with the oil; and a drive mechanism-integrated electricity generation apparatus for an aircraft, the electricity generation apparatus including the toroidal continuously variable transmission. The toroidal continuously variable transmission includes a discharge structure including an outlet that discharges an oil. The discharge structure includes first and second oil passages connected with each other inside the discharge structure, and arranged such that the oil flowing through the first oil passage and the second oil passage collide with each other in the vicinity of the outlet and that a jet of oil discharged from the outlet forms a flattened shape extending along a rotational direction of the power roller.

Abstract: A wireless connector is composed of a pair of units. Each unit includes an annular transmission/reception unit which is provided with a coil used to wirelessly transmit electric power, and formed of a plurality of coil parts, and a main connector portion which is detachably attached to an object from the outside of the object to transmit the electric power to the object. Each unit is assembled such that each unit can be divided into a plurality of non-annular pieces so that the coil can be formed by coupling the plurality of coil parts via a plurality of connectors for coil. When one of the transmission/reception units is attached to the object, the one of the transmission/reception units is arranged so as to oppose the other one of the transmission/reception units in a non-contact manner such that electric power can be wirelessly transmitted therebetween.

The first transmission/reception part and the second transmission/reception part are arranged so as to be separated from each other and opposed to each other to wirelessly transmit the to-be-transmitted target.

Abstract: A sensor module of the present invention includes a flexible body and a sensor fixed to the outer surface of the body. The body is attachable to a robot hand having multiple fingers and is removable from the robot hand. The sensor is a proximity sensor or a tactile sensor. A position on the body where the sensor is fixed corresponds to a fingertip of a finger of the robot hand in a state where the sensor module is attached to the robot hand. The body has the shape of a glove, a finger cot, or a sheet.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display device that performs phase inversion drive in which a phase of a polarity of a data voltage is inverted in predetermined timing while performing frame inversion drive in which a positive-polarity data voltage and a negative-polarity data voltage are alternately output to a data line in each one or plurality of frames. In a first frame immediately after the phase is inverted, the source driver outputs a second data voltage to the data line in initial first periods of a horizontal scanning period, the second data voltage being closer to the common voltage than a first data voltage corresponding to input image data, and outputs the first data voltage to the data line in a second period after the first period in the horizontal scanning period.

Abstract: In a plasma nitriding method, a processing gas containing nitrogen gas and rare gas is introduced into a processing chamber of a plasma processing apparatus by setting a flow rate thereof as a total flow rate [mL/min(sccm)] of the processing gas per 1 L volume of the processing chamber within a range from 1.5 (mL/min)/L to 13 (mL/min)/L. Further, a nitriding process is performed on oxygen-containing films of target objects to be processed by generating a nitrogen-containing plasma in the processing chamber and while exchanging the target objects.
