Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wavelength conversion member, includes: providing a wavelength conversion layer having a phosphor-containing portion and a light reflecting portion surrounding the phosphor-containing portion, and the wavelength conversion layer having an upper surface, a bottom surface and at least one side surface; forming a light-blocking film on the upper surface of the wavelength conversion layer; and removing a part of the light-blocking film by laser processing to expose at least a part of the phosphor-containing portion from the light-blocking film.

Abstract: A method for producing a vehicle rear module that includes: a clear member monolithically including a lamp section and a window section; and a colored member for shielding at least part of a vehicle interior from the exterior. The method for producing the vehicle rear module comprises: a step for injecting a transparent resin from a single resin injection hole into a first cavity to form the clear member; and a step for injecting a colored resin from a plurality of resin injection holes into a second cavity to form the colored member.

Abstract: A ceramic circuit board includes: a ceramic board; and an internal conductor disposed in the ceramic board, in which the ceramic board contains glass, a willemite filler, and an alumina filler, and an average particle diameter of the willemite filler is larger than an average particle diameter of the alumina filler.

Abstract: A sterile bioreactor is formed of a combination of a bag and a bubble diffuser retained in the bag. The bubble diffuser is formed of a microporous sheet material that produces substantially uniform micro gas bubbles for enhancing plant organism growth within the bag. The bag is made in a cost-effective manner and with desired sterility by sealing coupling devices and/or ports, the tube ends sealed and gamma irradiated. The coupling devices/ports are established in one side wall of the bag. Contents may be inserted into and removed from the bag through the coupling devices/ports, which may be surface mounted portals.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes: a first light source; and a light guide including a rod-shaped part and a plate-shaped part. The light guide has a structure in which a circumferential surface of the rod-shaped part is connected to a side surface of the plate-shaped part. The plate-shaped part includes a light diffusion member inside. Light of the first light source is incident on the rod-shaped part from one end of the rod-shaped part, enters the plate-shaped part from the circumferential surface of the rod-shaped part, and is output by the light diffusion member from a principal surface of the plate-shaped part.

Abstract: A light guide is configured to allow at least a portion of light incident on a light-incident surface to be emitted through a peripheral surface. The light guide includes a light guide portion extending in a lengthwise direction of the light guide and formed of a first material and a luminous portion extending in the lengthwise direction of the light guide along the light guide portion and formed of a second material. The second material has a haze value greater than a haze value of the first material.

Abstract: A clutch structure includes a rotary shaft, a cylinder, and a clutch. An outer peripheral fitting surface of the rotary shaft includes an engagement groove. The engagement groove extends in an axial direction along a rotation axis of the rotary shaft. A clutch cover of the clutch includes an engagement protrusion. The engagement protrusion protrudes inwardly in a radial direction with respect to the rotation axis from an inner peripheral surface of an annular inner edge of the clutch cover. The engagement protrusion engages in the engagement groove to hinder the clutch cover from rotating about the rotation axis relative to the rotary shaft.

Abstract: A phosphor film includes phosphor particles, a thermally-conductive filler, and a hinder bonding the phosphor particles and the thermally-conductive filler together. The thermally-conductive filler includes glass particles and/or alumina particles. A weight ratio of a weight of the binder to a total weight of the phosphor particles and the thermally-conductive filler is in a range of 0.1 wt % to 5.0 wt %.

Abstract: There is provided a brake assembly structure for a transmission. An automatic transmission includes a torque converter, a transmission case, and a two-way clutch and a first brake which are accommodated in the transmission case and adjacent to each other. The first brake includes a drum, an outer plate that is fixed to the drum in such a manner that the outer plate is unrotatable with respect to the drum, an inner disk that comes in contact with the outer plate in an axial direction, and a hub to which the inner disk is fixed in such a manner that relative rotation is not permitted. The drum is provided separately from the transmission case and includes a hydraulic chamber. The two-way clutch is assembled in the transmission case and the first brake is then assembled in the transmission case.

Abstract: An eraser device 4 for inputting an erase-operation of a display image to a touch panel 2, the touch panel 2 includes an input point detection unit 31 for detecting, as input points based on a plurality of detection points arranged on or near to a display screen, detecting points where a touch operation is performed; and an erase-operation determination unit 32 for determining whether or not a user's operation is the erase-operation, according to a degree of density of the input points, wherein the eraser device 4 includes a plurality of touch parts (pillar parts 48) to be detected as the input points when brought into contact with or closer to the touch panel, and the plurality of touch parts (pillar parts 48) are formed at such a degree of density that it is determined by the erase-operation determination unit that the erase-operation is being performed. Accordingly, an improved command input system for easily performing the erase-operation to the touch panel can be provided, inexpensively.

Abstract: The present invention is provided with: an input point detecting unit (31) which detects, as input points, detection points on which a touch operation is performed; and an erase-operation determining unit (32) which determines whether a user operation is an erase-operation for erasing an image displayed on a display screen according to the concentrated degree of the input points. Accordingly, an erase-operation can be easily performed.

Abstract: A lamp device mounted on a vehicle includes a housing, a first translucent member defining a housing space together with the housing, a lamp unit housed in the housing space and including a light source, a sensor housed in the housing space and configured to detect information outside the vehicle based on invisible light, and a second translucent member housed in the housing space and covering the sensor. The second translucent member has transmittance of visible light lower than that of the first translucent member.
