  • Publication number: 20210039449
    Abstract: A pneumatic tire has a side portion located between a tread portion and a bead portion which includes a decorative element. The decorative element comprises linear protrusions extending along the side portion and bending to form a hook. The linear protrusions are disposed at intervals with tips of the hooks aligned in the same direction. Each of the linear protrusions includes a first and second portions. The first portion extends from an inner side in the radial direction to an outer side in the radial direction. The second portion extends from a bend position of each one of the linear protrusions and forms an angle of 90° or greater with the first portion at the bend position. Each bend position mutually differs in position in the radial direction between the linear protrusions, and the interval between adjacent linear protrusions is wider at the second portion than at the first portion.

  • Publication number: 20200270379
    Abstract: A resin composition for molding having excellent heat resistance, hardness, cost-effectiveness, and biodegradability is provided by using an amorphous resin material component extracted from plant-derived wood. The resin composition is a hemicellulose monomer obtained by applying a methacrylation reaction or acrylation reaction to a hemicellulose or hemicellulose derivative and has a molecular structure in which a methacrylic group or acryloyl group is bonded to the hemicellulose or hemicellulose derivative. This hemicellulose monomer has excellent injection moldability.

  • Publication number: 20200269928
    Abstract: There are provided first and second loop-shaped structure sections which are respectively provided to extend continuously along a lower wall part, right-and-left both side wall parts, and an upper wall part of a vehicle body so as to have a loop shape in a vehicle elevational view. The first loop-shaped structure section is positioned in front of a damper support section. A lower-side part of the second loop-shaped structure section which is located at a lower level than the damper support section is formed by a part of the first loop-shaped structure section and its upper-side part is positioned in back of the damper support section. Each of these loop-shaped structure sections is formed by a closed-cross section portion where a closed-cross section is partitioned by plural members and/or a thick plate portion having a thicker plate thickness than a vehicle-body panel.

  • Patent number: 10710168
    Abstract: The hard coating layer of the cutting tool includes a complex nitride or complex carbonitride layer expressed by the composition formula: (Ti1-xAlx)(CyN1-y). xavg and yavg satisfy 0.60?xavg?0.95 and 0?yavg?0.005. xavg is an average content ratio of Al in a total amount of Ti and Al, and yavg is an average content ratio of C in a total amount of C and N. Some crystal grains composing the complex nitride or complex carbonitride layer have a cubic structure. In crystal grains having the cubic structure, the average crystal grain misorientaion is 1 degree or more; or 2 degrees or more, based on analysis of the polished surface perpendicular to a surface of the layer. A peak exists in 1-2 degrees of the average crystal grain misorientation in the frequency distribution of the average crystal grain misorientation and the area ratio.

  • Publication number: 20200000354
    Abstract: Electrocardiographic waveforms for a plurality of candidate segments (analysis unit segments) are extracted from collected electrocardiographic waveforms and the extracted electrocardiographic waveforms for the plurality of candidate segments (analysis unit segments) are displayed on one screen. As a result, a user can determine, e.g., what candidate segment (analysis unit segment) analysis results to view while simultaneously viewing the electrocardiographic waveforms for the plurality of candidate segments (analysis unit segments) and which candidate segment to record, without any switching between screens, and as a result can perform appropriate electrocardiogram analysis using a simple operation.
