  • Publication number: 20180276187
    Abstract: An operation-screen generation device includes a reading unit that reads operation item information indicating multiple operation items having a hierarchical structure and used to generate an operation screen and a generation unit that generates the operation screen. An operation component for an operation item in a highest layer in the operation item information is allocated to a first hierarchical component predetermined as being in a highest layer in layout information. If the number of subsequent layers for one or more subsequent operation items is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number of layers displayable for a second hierarchical component, one or more operation components for the one or more subsequent operation items are allocated to the second hierarchical component. If the number of subsequent layers is larger than the predetermined number of layers, the operation components are allocated to the second hierarchical component and a third hierarchical component.

  • Patent number: 8640669
    Abstract: To provide a piston for an internal combustion engine including a skirt which causes a relatively small frictional resistance and can maintain a favorable frictional property over an extended period of time. In a piston for an internal combustion engine having a skirt 4 on whose sliding surface a resin coating layer is deposited, the skirt 4 comprises a thin walled portion 51 located in a circumferentially middle part thereof and a pair of thick walled portions 52 provided on either lateral side of the thin walled portion 51. The resin coating layer 44 at least in the part thereof deposited on the thick walled portions 52 is formed with a plurality of dimples 45. The skirt may comprise a skirt main body 41 extending axially at a fixed distance from the central axial line of the piston in an axially middle part thereof, and a first reduced diameter portion 42 depending from the lower end of the skirt main body and having a progressively smaller diameter toward a lower end thereof.
