Abstract: An outboard motor includes an engine main body, and an intake device to supply air to the engine main body. The intake device includes a main intake pipe including a first intake pipe and a second intake pipe connected to a downstream end of the first intake pipe and extending at an angle with respect to an axial direction of the first intake pipe and through which the air supplied to the engine main body flows, and an extension pipe extending from a connection between the first intake pipe and the second intake pipe and including a resonance chamber therein. The extension pipe includes an extended peripheral wall and an end wall that closes the resonance chamber except for a portion adjacent to the main intake pipe.

Abstract: An object is to obtain a white ink which is easy to redisperse and is redispersible by being shaken several tens of times with weak force at most, or alternatively, without being shaken. As a solution, a white ink composition is provided which contains 5.0 to 20.0% by mass of a titanium oxide in an ink composition; 3.0 to 60.0 parts by mass of a solid content of alkali-soluble resin relative to 100 parts by mass of a pigment or pigments in the ink composition, wherein building blocks of the alkali-soluble resin are styrene; stearyl acrylate and/or lauryl acrylate; and acrylic acid, and the alkali-soluble resin has a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 or more, an acid value of 100 mgKOH/g or more, and a glass transition temperature of 50° C. or more; and a surfactant.

Abstract: A grasping apparatus 1 includes: an image data acquisition unit 16; a robot arm 11; a control unit 12; and a grasping position determination unit 18 configured to determine, using the image data of photographed flexible objects in a folded and stacked state that is acquired by the image data acquisition unit 16, whether or not a part of the flexible objects in that image data is suitable for being grasped. The control unit 12 controls the robot arm 11 so as to deform ends of a top surface of the flexible object at the top of the stacked flexible objects. The grasping position determination unit 18 determines whether or not a part is suitable for being grasped using the image data of the photographed flexible object the ends of the top surface of which have been deformed.

Abstract: A photoelectric module of the present disclosure includes an optical device including an optical function element array made of a first base material, and a plurality of light emitting/receiving elements made of a second base material, wherein the optical function element array includes an optical substrate and a plurality of optical function elements, the optical substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and the optical function elements being integrated with the optical substrate and being arranged one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally, and the light emitting/receiving elements and their respective optical function elements face each other with the optical substrate in between to be located on a same axis in a direction perpendicular to the optical substrate, and the light emitting/receiving elements are disposed on the second surface with a space in between while being separated in units of a smaller number than array number in the optical function element array.
