  • Patent number: 11021088
    Abstract: An armrest structure for seat includes an armrest configured to move in a lateral width direction of the seat, a guide block configured to move in a front-rear direction of the seat, and an operation portion configured to be manually operated, such that the guide block moves in the front-rear direction. The armrest and the guide block are slidably engaged with each other in a direction inclined with respect to the lateral width direction and the front-rear direction of the seat. The armrest is configured to move in conjunction with the guide block in the lateral width direction, in response to an operation that the operation portion is operated to move the guide block in the front-rear direction. According to this armrest structure, an interval between the armrest on both sides can be adjusted in accordance with the physique and the posture of a seated person.

    Abstract: A display device includes: a display panel including panel terminals; and a wiring substrate including first substrate terminals coupled to the panel terminals. The panel terminals include panel terminals arranged in a first region and panel terminals arranged in second regions sandwiching the first region. The first substrate terminals include first substrate terminals arranged in a third region and first substrate terminals arranged in fourth regions sandwiching the third region. A gap between panel terminals is substantially constant in the first and second regions. A first width of the panel terminals in the first region is different from a second width of the panel terminals is the second regions. A width of the first substrate terminals is substantially constant in the third and fourth regions. A first gap between first substrate terminals in the third region is different from a second gap between first substrate terminals in the fourth regions.

  • Publication number: 20210128283
    Abstract: The present invention provides a denture block capable of integrally and simply manufacturing a denture by using a CAD/CAM system. A denture is manufactured by cutting using a CAD/CAM system in a state in which the ridge portion 1b is gripped, has: an upper part which is a white part 2 to correspond to a tooth part of the denture; and a lower part which is a gingival color part 3 to correspond to a denture plate of the denture, wherein the white part 2 and the gingival color part 3 are integrally formed by being brought into close contact with each other with no gaps therebetween including the inside thereof, and a plurality of convex portions 4 and concave portions 5 are formed on an upper surface 3a which is the boundary surface of the gingival color part 3 with the white part 2.

  • Publication number: 20210135134
    Abstract: A display device includes a flexible substrate, a display device layer, a polarizing plate, and a warpage suppressing member. The flexible substrate has a front surface on a front surface side and a back surface on a back surface side. The display device layer is provided on the front surface side of the flexible substrate and includes a self-luminescent element. The polarizing plate is opposed to the flexible substrate across the display device layer and has a predetermined dimensional change characteristic corresponding to environmental change. The warpage suppressing member is provided on the back surface side of the flexible substrate and has a dimensional change characteristic of the same tendency as the dimensional change characteristic of the polarizing plate. The warpage suppressing member is configured to cancel at least a portion of warping stress of the polarizing plate to be applied to the flexible substrate.

  • Patent number: 10960752
    Abstract: Provided is an electric vehicle includes a power control unit, a driving motor, a first cooling channel fitted with a first pump that causes a first cooling liquid cooled in a first heat exchanger to flow through the power control unit and a second heat exchanger in this order and return to the first heat exchanger, and a second cooling channel fitted with a second pump that causes a second cooling liquid cooled by the first cooling liquid in the second heat exchanger to flow through the driving motor and return to the second heat exchanger. The second pump starts or stops circulation of the second cooling liquid, or increases or reduces a circulation volume of the second cooling liquid, based on one or both of the temperature of the power control unit and the temperature of the first cooling liquid.
