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.

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

Abstract: An imaging apparatus, not including a display that displays setting information for operation setting in the imaging apparatus, includes: an image sensor that captures a subject image to generate image data; an output interface connected to an external apparatus to output the image data; and a controller that controls an output setting for outputting the image data in a predetermined format from the output interface to the external apparatus. In a state where the output setting is applied, no setting information for canceling the output setting is displayed on the external apparatus serving as an output destination of the image data in the predetermined format by the output interface. The imaging apparatus further comprises an input interface that receives an instruction to cancel the output setting from the state where the output setting is applied.

Abstract: In an audiovisual system in which a source device and a television are connected via an AV amplifier, even when the AV amplifier is placed in a “Power Supply Standby State”, video/audio signals outputted from the source device can be viewed/listened to on the television without changing the wiring connections between the devices. An AV amplifier (100) is provided with a data storing means (106) used for indicating a signal reproduction ability to a source device (200). During a “Power Supply Standby State” of the AV amplifier (100), the content of data that is saved in the data storing means (106) and indicates an audio signal reproduction ability is rewritten into data that indicates not the reproduction ability of the AV amplifier (100), but the signal reproduction ability of a television (300), thereby producing a state that is equivalent to a state in which the source device (200) and the television (300) are directly connected.

Abstract: In an audio output system including a TV, an AV amplifier, a DVD player, and the like, a simple control program decides an audio output mode setting, i.e., whether to output audio from a built-in speaker of the TV or output audio from an external speaker connected to the AV amplifier by linking operations of the respective devices. A control unit of a DVD player transmits a request signal concerning the audio output mode to a control unit of a TV. According to a request from the DVD player, the control unit of the TV instructs a control unit of an AV amplifier to be set to a mode for outputting audio from an external speaker connected to the AV amplifier or a mode for not outputting audio and sets a built-in speaker of the TV to a state opposite to the state of the external speaker.

Abstract: In an audiovisual system in which a TV, an AV amplifier, a DVD player and the like are combined, another device constituting the system is automatically set to an optimal operation state according to the content recorded on an optical disc. A reproduction content judging unit 406 of a DVD player 400 judges the type (a video signal and an audio signal) and the format of signals included in content that has been read from the optical disc 401. According to the results of judging by the reproduction content judging unit 406, a control unit 403 of the DVD player 400 sends an instruction signal related to the power supply state and an instruction signal related to output of at least one of video and audio to a control unit 105 of a TV 100 and a control unit 203 of an AV amplifier 200.

Abstract: An audiovisual system is provided in which the operability of selection by a user between internal speakers of a TV and external speakers connected to an audio amplifier has been improved, thus reducing the burdensomeness of operation. When an audio amplifier (100A) is powered on, a control part (106A) of the audio amplifier (100A) judges that use of external speakers (105) connected to the audio amplifier (100A) has been selected, and transmits a control signal for putting internal speakers (205) of a TV (200A) in a muted state to a control part (206A) of the TV (200A) via a communication means (300). Conversely, when the audio amplifier (100A) is powered off, the control part (106A) judges that use of the internal speakers (205) of the TV (200A) has been selected, and transmits a control signal for canceling the muted state of the internal speakers (205) to the control part (206A) of the TV (200A) via the communication means (300).

Abstract: An electromagnetic flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of electrically-conductive fluids through a conduit. A magnetic field generating device has a U-shaped iron core with a gap between the ends thereof and a coil on the core energizable to produce a magnetic field across the gap. A boxlike body of molded resin has a bottom wall and side walls with the iron core and coil enclosed in the central portion thereof. The body extends along the axis of the conduit and receives the conduit removably but snugly between the side walls thereof. The bottom wall of the body is spaced below the conduit by an electrode receiving space and a substantially diametrially opposed pair of electrodes enter the conduit within the gap along a line substantially at right angles to the magnet field across the gap. The boxlike body has end walls with upward facing depressions supporting portions of the conduit axially spaced in opposite directions from the electrodes. Clamping members clamp the conduit in the end wall depressions.
