  • Patent number: 8919864
    Abstract: An adjustable air diffuser is disposed in an airflow channel into which a travelling wind is directed through an opening provided in a bumper face. The diffuser opens and closes the channel by movable louver blades driven by an actuator. An upper part of the diffuser is disposed to face a rear wall of the bumper face and is attached to a bumper beam extending along a vehicle width direction. A lower part of the diffuser is attached to a vehicle body structural member. The attachment structure includes a column that is disposed behind the adjustable air diffuser. A lower end of the column is attached to a lower end of the adjustable air diffuser. Weak portions are provided on the column such that the column breaks when the column interferes with another member behind the column.

  • Patent number: 8891123
    Abstract: The advantage of the invention is to improve the convenience when a preview image of processing target data is displayed in a communication terminal that does not have a preview generating function. A communication terminal has a processing target transmitting section that transmits processing target data to a server, a preview receiving section that receives preview image data of a page in which generation of preview image data is completed before generation of preview image data of all pages is completed with respect to preview image data of the processing target data generated by the server, and a preview displaying section that displays a preview image based on the received preview image data.

  • Publication number: 20140030563
    Abstract: A secondary battery module 1 of the present invention stores cell blocks 40 in a module case 2, and cools battery cells 101 in the cell blocks 40 by circulating coolant to the inside of the cell blocks by introduction of the coolant into the module case 2. The secondary battery module has a structure of communicating coolant circulation ports 22 that open to a case wall section 21 of the module case 2 and coolant circulation ports 62a that open to the cell blocks 40 with each other by a communication member 71, and passing wiring through a space region 80 formed outside the communication member 71 and between the case wall section 21 and the cell blocks 40. Thus, wiring can be executed without interfering flow of the coolant, and the total secondary battery module 1 can be miniaturized.

  • Patent number: 6694628
    Abstract: The cutting machine includes a sheet-driving unit, a detection sensor, and a cutter. The machine operates the sheet-driving unit and the cutter based on given input data to cut the sheet. The cutting machine calculates a length of sheet necessary to perform a cutting operation based on the input data, feeds out the sheet by the sheet-driving unit, and then performs a given cutting operation based on the input data without fully returning the sheet fed out by the driving unit after the cutting machine detects whether the sheet of the necessary length as calculated above is placed with using the detection sensor.
