Abstract: An exhaust device for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust manifold including branch pipe portions respectively connected to cylinders of the internal combustion engine in which exhaust strokes are executed at different timings, and a collecting pipe portion to which the branch pipe portions are collected and connected at a downstream side of the branch pipe portions, a catalyst provided at a downstream side of the collecting pipe portion in the exhaust manifold, an exhaust pipe provided at a downstream side of the catalyst, a sensor detecting a state of exhaust gas and provided in the exhaust pipe, and a connecting wall portion connecting the catalyst and the exhaust pipe and extending in a different direction with respect to a first central axis of the catalyst along a flow direction of the exhaust gas.

Abstract: An air cooling unit disclosed in the present specification includes an electrical apparatus, a duct having an outlet for blowing air along a surface of the electrical apparatus, a temperature sensor disposed in the electrical apparatus, and a controller configured to limit operation of the electrical apparatus when a temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds a threshold temperature. The inner surface of the air outlet has thereon a projecting portion. The projecting portion and the temperature sensor are located on a same straight line parallel to an air blowing direction at the air outlet when the projecting portion and the temperature sensor are viewed along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the electrical apparatus.

Abstract: The vehicle includes a pair of side members; a rear cross member; a battery; a first power converter connected to the battery; a first relay switching the battery and the first power converter between an energized state and a non-energized state; a second power converter connected to the battery in parallel with the first power converter; a second relay switching the battery and the second power converter between an energized state and a non-energized state. The first relay switches the battery and the first power converter to an energized state while the vehicle is traveling, the second relay switches the battery and the second power converter to the non-energized state. The first power converter is forward of the rear cross member in the vehicle and disposed between the side members in the vehicle width direction. A second power converter is disposed behind the rear cross member in the vehicle.

Abstract: A paint substitute film product 1 for surfacing an object S includes a decorative coat including a light-curable resinous layer, and a protective film provided over a surface of the light-curable resinous layer of the decorative coat. An adhesion strength AS1 between a surface of the object and the decorative coat, an adhesion strength AS2 between the protective film and the decorative coat, and a tensile strength TS of the decorative coat are configured to exhibit the equation: AS1>AS2>TS. The paint substitute film product 1 can deliver increased economy in surfacing the object, and the step of forming the object to be surfaced and the step of applying the paint substitute film can be provided independently.
