  • Publication number: 20240123782
    Abstract: A suspension arm includes a main body. The main body includes a curved portion curved along a longitudinal direction and has a closed section. The main body includes an inner side wall, an outer side wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The inner side wall corresponds to an inner side of a curve of the curved portion. The outer side wall corresponds to an outer side of the curve of the curved portion. A thickness of the inner side wall is larger than a thickness of the outer side wall. In sectional view of the main body perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, each of a length of the first side wall and a length of the second side wall is longer than each of a length of the inner side wall and a length of the outer side wall.

  • Publication number: 20240100583
    Abstract: Provided is a burring processing method, which is a method for forming a buffing processed portion including a raised portion and a curved portion in a metal component having a pilot hole formed therein, the method being characterized by including: a preforming step of enlarging a diameter of the pilot hole, moving an edge portion of the pilot hole relative to the metal component in a first direction of a thickness direction of the metal component in a first range around the pilot hole of the metal component, and forming the whole first range into a preformed portion raised from the metal component in the first direction; and a main forming step of deforming the preformed portion in a second direction opposite to the first direction, forming a second range on an outer diameter side of the preformed portion to have the same height as the first range in the first direction, and forming part of a third range on an inner diameter side of the preformed portion from the second range to be part of the curved portion

  • Patent number: 10104266
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a supply controller that controls supply of power according to a first mode and a second mode having lower power consumption than the first mode; an approach detector that detects an approach of a person during the second mode; a switching unit that switches over from the second mode to the first mode in a case where the approach of the person is detected; an authentication unit that performs authentication of the person after switching over to the first mode; a communication unit that performs communication through a communication line by the power supply in the first mode; an acquiring unit that requests acquisition of data corresponding to a result of the authentication of the person through the communication line, and acquires the data corresponding to the request; and an execution unit that executes a process based on the acquired data.

  • Patent number: 9811045
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a communication unit that receives first mode electric power to perform communication; an image forming unit that receives first mode electric power to form an image on a medium; a fixing unit that generates heat by receiving first mode electric power, and performs a fixing process of fixing the image to the medium; a predicting unit that predicts a processing time required for a process of forming the image; and a supply controller that controls supply of electric power according to a first mode or a second mode in which power consumption is smaller than that of the first mode. The supply controller starts the supply of first mode electric power to the fixing unit at a timing based on the predicted processing time when the image forming apparatus transitions from the second mode to the first mode.
