Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a transportation section that transports a medium in a transportation direction; a head that ejects the liquid on the medium; a support member that supports the medium which is in a position facing the head while abutting a surface of one side of the medium; a heat source that is disposed in a position facing the support member; an abutting member that abuts the surface of the one side of the medium on an upstream side from the support member in the transportation direction; and a detection section that detects presence or absence of the foreign matter on a surface of the other side of the medium in an area of the medium which abuts the abutting member.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus includes a recording unit that records an image in a first region, a first control unit that has a drive roller to transport a recording medium and controls a tension of the recording medium in the first region by adjusting a torque of the drive roller based on the tension of the recording medium in the first region, a second control unit that controls the tension of the recording medium in a second region according to the detection result of the tension of the recording medium in the second region. Compared to the frequency response characteristics of the first control unit with respect to the tension fluctuations generated in the first region, the frequency response characteristics of the second control unit with respect to the tension fluctuations generated in the second region responds to the tension fluctuations having a higher frequency band.

Abstract: A method of press-forming a tubular part having a cross section of an irregular shape crushes a steel tube between an upper die and a lower die in order to form a V-shaped cross section. When the curvature radius of a tip of the upper die is defined as R1, the curvature radius of a bottom portion of the lower die corresponding to the tip of the upper die is defined as R2, and the wall thickness of the steel tube is defined as t; R1, R2, and t satisfy R1+2t=R2 and 1.5t?R1?3t.

Abstract: A bumper beam includes two tubular bodies formed by tube hydroforming that extend left and right. The tubular bodies are joined to each other in a parallel state. The tubular bodies each have a rectangular vertical cross-section shape including top and bottom and front and rear sides. The tubular bodies are disposed in a line from top to bottom, and opposing surfaces thereof are joined together across the entire length in the longitudinal direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a playback device capable of audio playback with little or no interruption. Yet, there is no need of increasing the memory capacity of the playback device and sacrificing the usability of the playback device. The playback device stores, to its internal memory, identification information of audio data stored on a recording medium such as an optical disc, and specifying information specifying the storage location of the identification information. The playback device sequentially stores the audio data to a remaining area of the memory. The audio data stored in the memory is supplied for playback.

Abstract: In a multi-session disk, a microcomputer of an audio data search control apparatus judges whether or not a search operation for a last audio data file in an optional session during the search operation in the session (Step S11), forcibly moves an optical pickup 11 during a required forcible-movement time length T along a radial direction of the multi-session disk when it is judged that the search operation is completed (Steps S12 and S13), and restarts the search operation in a next session of a different format after the forcible movement is completed (Steps S14-S16).

Abstract: A framing structure around a vehicle door opening has a hydraulically tube-formed tubular framework disposed inside the vehicle door opening to form a basic framing. The outer panel and the tubular framework are joined directly together by welding. The inner side of the tubular framework is an inner wall within the vehicle. The outer side of the tubular framework, facing the outer panel, is a stiffening wall. The stiffening wall is hidden within a closed space between the outer panel and the inner wall.
