Abstract: Provided a vehicle exterior lamp capable of illuminating the ground surrounding a vehicle. When returning to a predetermined position of a parking lot, a road or the like where a vehicle has been parked, a switch of a transmitter is operated. By doing so, the vehicle is illuminated in a predetermined color and a selected mode, and the vicinity of a door of the vehicle is illuminated by this light, so that the condition of the ground can be confirmed. Particularly, the color of the light, emitted from a light-emitting source, can be arbitrarily set, and the setting can be made, taking the brightness and the saving of the energy into consideration. Even if discriminating information, such as a code, is not provided between the transmitter and a receiver, the color of the illumination of the vehicle can be discriminated from that of other vehicles.

Abstract: A photo-catalyzer for deodorizing, cleaning, sterilizing, and water purifying operations includes a substrate, a titanium dioxide film disposed on the substrate and functioning as a photo-catalyst, and a light-emitting diode disposed adjacent to the titanium dioxide film and producing ultraviolet light having a wavelength from 360 to 400 nm onto the titanium dioxide film. The photo-catalyzer can be used in places where there is no sunlight because it is optionally provided with a light-emitting diode. The light-emitting diode does not require a large installation space because it is an extremely small light-emitting device. Hence, the photo-catalyzer has a compact structure and can be used easily anywhere, including small places. The substrate can be fabricated into a variety of useful appliances to take advantage of the strong oxidizing properties of the photo-catalyzer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fully automatic ultrasonic flaw detection apparatus convenient for flaw detection in a weld zone such as found in an welded iron structure. The apparatus includes a scanner for moving a ultrasonic transmitting and receiving probe in directions parallel to and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the object to be inspected or the testpiece, and an information processing unit for controlling the action of the scanner and processing received reflected ultrasonic wave flaw detection data. The probe is alternately moved parallel to and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the testpiece according to a predetermined scanning routine to perform rough flaw detection and the results of this rough flaw detection are produced as output. When the presence of flaw is detected during this rough flaw detection routine, the probe is returned to a position necessary to perform precision flaw detection of that flaw.
