Abstract: A blade open-close device includes a base, a blade, an actuator unit, a detectable member, and a detector. The base includes an opening portion on an optical axis. The blade is movable in an intersecting direction to cover or uncover the opening portion. The actuator unit moves the blade to one of a closing position to cover the opening portion or an opening position to uncover the opening portion. The detectable member changes a position of a first magnet and a position of a second magnet in response to coming into contact with the blade moving. The detector detects the first magnet when the blade is at the opening position and detects the second magnet when the blade is at the closing position.

Abstract: In this shift device, in a case in which an external force has acted on a lever when an operating mechanism is causing the lever to pivot, a clutch mechanism permits rotation of a first detent plate with respect to a second detent plate, such that pivoting of the lever is permitted. Note that a restraining mechanism urges the lever toward a shift position. This enables to the restraining mechanism to urge the lever separately to the clutch mechanism, thereby enabling the degrees of freedom for setting a biasing load on the lever by the restraining mechanism to be increased.

Abstract: A plastic spectacle lens includes at least a plastic base. In the plastic spectacle lens, a difference between a highest transmittance and a lowest transmittance for light in a range of wavelengths of not less than 400 nm and not greater than 780 nm, is not greater than 10 points, and an internal transmittance of the base for light in a range (visible range) of wavelengths of not less than 380 nm and not greater than 780 nm is not less than 80% over the entirety of the range of the wavelengths.

Abstract: In a shift device, contact projections of a rotation cylinder make contact with side faces of recesses of an detent plate due to an urging force so as to urge a lever toward a shift position side. The contact projections make line contact with the side faces of the recesses. This enables the contact amount between the contact projections and the side faces of the recesses to be increased, enabling the contact pressure between the contact projections and the side faces of the recesses to be lowered.

Abstract: A shift lever device has a shift lever that is moved and whose shift position is changed, and a detent plate that is displaced due to the shift lever being moved. The shift lever device has a first lock bar and a second lock bar that can move toward the detent plate side or a side opposite from the detent plate, and, due to the first lock bar and the second lock bar engaging with portions of the detent plate, a range over which the detent plate is displaced is restricted, and a range of movement of the shift lever is restricted. The shift lever device has a cam that has a single engaged-with portion with which the first lock bar and the second lock bar engage, and, due to the cam being displaced, the first lock bar and the second lock bar are moved.

Abstract: A pull-on diaper 50B of the invention includes an outer cover assembly 3 defining the exterior surface of the diaper. A front body portion F and a rear body portion R of the outer cover assembly 3 are connected to each other along their laterally opposite side edges to form a pair of side seams 4, a waist opening 8, and a pair of leg openings 9. Each side seam 4 has a sealed edge portion 41 where the front body portion side edge 3F and the rear body portion side edge 3R of the outer cover assembly 3 are bonded to each other at a continuous linear fusion bond extending in the longitudinal direction of the side seam and, in part, a non-sealed portion 42 where the front body portion side edge 3F and the rear body portion side edge 3R of the outer cover assembly face to each other in a non-bonded relationship.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric web having an excellent sound absorption coefficient in a frequency range from 800 Hz to 1000 Hz when used as a sound absorbing member for a vehicle exterior. The nonwoven fabric web including a nonwoven fabric having meltblown fibers and binder fibers arranged so as to be confounded with the meltblown fibers and fused with the meltblown fibers at some of the confounding points at the very least, the weight per unit area of the nonwoven fabric being from 400 g/m2 to 1500 g/m2, and the flexural rigidity of the nonwoven fabric being from 2.0 N/50 mm to 20.0 N/50 mm.

Abstract: In a shift device, contact projections of a rotation cylinder make contact with side faces of recesses of an detent plate due to an urging force so as to urge a lever toward a shift position side. The contact projections make line contact with the side faces of the recesses. This enables the contact amount between the contact projections and the side faces of the recesses to be increased, enabling the contact pressure between the contact projections and the side faces of the recesses to be lowered.

Abstract: Column resonance sound of certain frequencies can effectively be reduced in a pneumatic tire by disposing a sound absorbing structure (1) in an interior of the pneumatic tire, where the sound absorbing structure (1) includes a sheet-like base material (2); a plurality of protrusions (10) made from a nonwoven fabric and projecting from a front surface (2a) of the base material (2); and a hollow portion (20) provided inside of the protrusions (10).

Abstract: In a wrong-way determination apparatus, a discriminating unit recognizes a mark contained in the shape of at least one sign candidate and, and discriminates between a front-side or backside of the at least one sign candidate based on the mark. A wrong-way determining unit determines whether a vehicle is travelling the wrong way based on a result of the front-side or backside discrimination.

Abstract: An opening and closing control system that controls an operation of an inlet port so that an external environment is detected more accurately and opening and closing of the inlet port is controlled more properly is provided. In the ventilation control system, an internal environment sensor detects an internal environment of a casing, and an external environment sensor is disposed apart from the casing without being in contact with the casing and detects an external environment of the casing which corresponds to the internal environment. Then, a calculation unit obtains the internal environment and the external environment detected by the internal environment sensor and the external environment sensor, and controls opening and closing of a ventilation port in response to difference between the internal environment and the external environment.

Abstract: In a shift device, a shift locking mechanism drives a motor to perform locking and locking release of rotation of a knob, and an autocorrect mechanism drives the motor to change a shift position of the knob to a P position. Thus, driving of the common motor enables locking and locking release of the rotation of the knob to be performed, and enables a shift position of the knob to be changed to the P position, thereby enabling a simple configuration.
