Abstract: A stop assist system for moving a moving body to a stop position and making the moving body stop at the stop position includes: an external environment recognizing unit that recognizes an external environment of the moving body; and a moving body control unit that executes a driving process to make the moving body travel to the stop position based on a recognition result of the external environment recognizing unit. The moving body control unit suspends the driving process when, while the moving body is traveling to the stop position, the moving body control unit determines, based on the recognition result, that there is an object within a range of a prescribed lateral threshold value on a lateral outside of the moving body and the object extends over a prescribed longitudinal threshold value or more along a travel direction within the range.

Abstract: A shield case includes a first shield member and a second shield member coupled to the first shield member to form the shield case. A concave portion is capable of accommodating a sealing member for sealing inner space of the shield case by contacting the first shield member and the second shield member, and is formed on the second shield member. On each of the first shield member and the second shield member, a paint film portion is formed on an area of the shield case external to the concave portion. On the first shield member or the second shield member or combination thereof, a convex portion is formed on the area of the shield case on the inner space side and internal to the concave portion. The surfaces of the first shield member and the second shield member contact each other at the convex portion.

Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a rope member, provided with a rope of a bundle of synthetic fibers and a clamping member fixed to the rope and forming a portion with which the rope is to be connected or fastened to an external member, wherein a filler having permeability to the rope and containing a liquid and particles of an inorganic material dispersed in the liquid is made to permeate into a part of the rope, and the clamping member is fixed to the rope by installing the clamping member to cover the part of the rope permeated with the filler and by tightening the clamping member. The liquid is evaporated and only the inorganic material particles remain between the fibers of the rope. The clamping member is prevented from slippage even when a high load is applied to the synthetic fiber rope having high tensile force.

Abstract: A fluid discharging device has a cylinder having a first valve at one end of a suction chamber, and a cylindrical piston movably mounted in the cylinder. The piston has a second valve and a suction opening. A resilient element such as a coil spring is mounted between the cylinder and the piston so that the piston is generally biased against the cylinder. This valve mechanism is disposed in a collapsable container which contains a fluid. The cylinder is connected to an opening of the fluid container so that the first valve is exposed. The fluid discharging device can be disposed within a casing which has a refined appearance and includes an actuator for manually actuating the valve mechanism.
