Abstract: There are provided a bracket 3 that has a frame section 11 integrally formed by a transparent material, an apparatus mounting section 12 disposed in an inner peripheral edge of the frame section, and parts fixing sections 13, 13, . . . disposed on the outside of the frame section; a front panel 2 that is formed by a transparent material and disposed on the front surface side of the bracket; an apparatus body section 4 that has a screen surface 4a and is mounted at the apparatus mounting section of the bracket; holding members 31, 31 that hold the front panel and the bracket in the state that they are connected together at the front and rear; and functional sections that are fixed to the parts fixing sections of the bracket so as to be disposed on the outside of the front panel, and that sends and receives electric signals to exhibit a predetermined function.

Abstract: A flat portion 12a and a slope portion 12b are provided on a thread 12 of a multi-pitch screw 10 alternately. The flat portion and the slope portion are provided on the thread of a multi-pitch nut which fastens with this. Consequently, a screw and a nut capable of preventing loosening securely by step are achieved. This enables comfortable and quick feeding and when a torque from a driving source is interrupted, step-like self-lock is activated.

Abstract: A remote control signal transmission device includes a plurality of operation keys; a detector for detecting which operation keys have been operated; a memory for storing correspondence tables between the operation keys and remote control signals, with each of the correspondence tables differing depending on an electronic apparatus taken as a remote control target; a setter that receives a detection output of the detector and, when consecutive operation of a pre-defined plurality of said operation keys is detected as the detection output, selects a correspondence table for an electronic apparatus corresponding to the consecutive operation from within a plurality of the correspondence tables stored in the memory; a remote control signal generator, the signal from which corresponds to an operated key according to a correspondence table set by the setter and transmitting the remote control signal to electronic apparatus taken as the control target; and a setting protector for protecting settings of the setting m

Abstract: Producing vehicles by using a plurality of production lines allowing the vehicles to successively pass through a welding step, a coating step and an assembling step in each line, in accordance with an increase or decrease in the number of vehicles to be produced in the respective production lines, some of the vehicles in one of the production lines which has less of a margin for production are transferred, after passing through the welding step, to another production line at a portion between its welding step and coating step which line has more of a margin for production. With this arrangement, when it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the number of vehicles in the lines, it is possible to produce vehicles without changing the production ability in the respective steps after the welding step, only by adjusting the number of vehicles in the welding step of the production line which has a less of a margin for production.

Abstract: In producing vehicles by using a plurality of production lines allowing the vehicles to successively pass through a welding step, a coating step and an assembling step, in accordance with an increase or decrease in the production of vehicles in the respective production lines, some of the vehicles in one of the production lines which has less margin for producing vehicles are transferred, after passing through said welding step, to another production line between a welding step and coating step which another production line has more margin for producing vehicles. With this arrangement, when it becomes necessary to increase or decrease the production of vehicles in the respective production lines, it is possible to produce vehicles with high efficiency without changing the production ability in the respective steps after passing through the welding step, only by adjusting the production of vehicles in the welding step in the production line which has less margin for producing vehicles.

Abstract: A headphone includes a pair of housing members into which speaker units and diaphragms are accommodated, protector members having sound radiating portions on which a plurality of sound radiating apertures are bored and respectively provided on the pair of housing members at their sound radiation sides from which sound is radiated by a vibration of the diaphragms, and supporting members for supporting the housing members within a cavum concha of an auricle of a listener's ear so that the sound radiating portion is opposed to the entrance of an external auditory meatus in the auricle of the listener's ear, wherein the housing member has a concave portion that is engaged with one portion of the auricle of the listener's ear when the housing member is fitted into the auricle of the listener's ear.

Abstract: A headphone includes an electro-acoustic transducer, a housing, and first, second and third members. The electro-acoustic transducer includes a diaphragm and is supplied with a signal through a cord. The housing is shaped in such a way as to be accommodated into a concave portion of an auricle and includes an accommodating portion in which the electro-acoustic transducer is accommodated and a projecting portion for leading the cord from the inside of the housing to the outside of the housing. The accommodating portion has a first opening so that the electro-acoustic transducer is exposed to the outside from the first opening. The projecting portion is formed on the rear surface of the accommodating portion. A first member is provided so as to cover the whole surface of the diaphragm and the first opening and is made of a metal material. The first member has a plurality of first openings. A second member is provided on the first member so as to cover the first member and is made of a synthetic resin material.
