  • Patent number: 11457514
    Abstract: A resin window capable of preventing breakage of defogger wires, and a method for producing the same. The resin window includes a plate-like resin glass extending from one end side to the other end side and having a curved portion formed thereon in the extending direction of the resin glass, and a film disposed so as to follow the shape of the resin glass and having a defogger wire extending in the extending direction of the resin glass. When seen in the direction normal to the resin glass, the defogger wire has a wave-shaped portion in at least a portion at a position corresponding to the curved portion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 6, 2019
    Date of Patent: September 27, 2022
    Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TSUCHIYA CO., LTD.

  • Patent number: 10457212
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle pillar structure including: a non-transparent first supporting member that is configured by a material with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion along the length direction of a first value; a non-transparent second supporting member that is disposed spaced apart from the first supporting member, and that is configured by a material with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion along the length direction of a second value; and a resin transparent member that is configured by a material with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion along the length directions of the first supporting member and the second supporting member of a larger value than the first value and the second value, and that is configured including multiple glass fibers with length directions oriented such that fiber length directions are substantially orthogonal to the length directions of the first supporting member and the second supporting member.

  • Patent number: 8355026
    Abstract: To allow a resolution to be changed by a single drawing command for each window instead of using different drawing commands in an application program depending on resolutions, in order to display a plurality of windows having different resolutions on a single display screen by use of a drawing facility for drawing a window specified by a drawing command from an application program with a resolution selected from a plurality of resolutions, first, windows to be drawn are registered in a list. The list is accessed in response to a drawing command from an application program to determine the resolution of a window to be drawn. The drawing facility is instructed to draw the window with the determined resolution. The image of the window drawn by the drawing facility is written into a frame buffer. The image is read from the frame buffer and displayed on a screen.

  • Patent number: 6584780
    Abstract: A system stores densely dissolved methane-base gas and supplies gas of a predetermined composition. A container (10) stores methane-base gas dissolved in hydrocarbon solvent and supplies it to means for adjusting composition, through which an object of regulated contents is obtained. Preferably, the means for adjusting composition is means for maintaining the tank in a supercritical state, or piping (48) for extracting substances at a predetermined ratio from the gas phase (12) and liquid phase (16) in the container.
