Abstract: A connector driving structure includes an operating part, a driving part that moves in conjunction with movement of the operating part, a connector elastically supported by the driving part, a damper supported by the connector, and a battery stand. Operating the operating part changes the position of the driving part between a close position where the driving part is close to the battery stand and an away position where the driving part is away from the battery stand. The connector includes a connector terminal and a terminal holding portion holding the connector terminal. The damper is provided such that its first end is supported by the terminal holding portion and its second end abuts against the battery base.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a resin retainer having two annular sections. A fixed-side cavity forming mold has a first axial mold surface that is in contact with an axial end surface of a first annular section of the annular sections of a resin retainer having two annular sections, and a first protruding portion protruding from the first axial mold surface. A movable-side cavity forming mold has a second axial mold surface that is in contact with an axial end surface of a second annular section of the annular sections of the resin retainer, and a second protruding portion protruding from the second axial mold surface. A slide core sliding step is performed in which slide cores are slid toward an outer diameter and pocket-forming protruding portions of the slide cores are extracted from a pocket of the retainer, and then a mold opening step is performed in which the movable-side cavity forming mold is opened relative to the fixed-side cavity forming mold.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an annular insert molded article that suppresses contamination of a metal mold and generation of foreign matter without increase in material costs for an adhesive or contamination of a transfer jig, and has a high adhesion strength so that, when the annular insert molded article is attached to a rotating body, the adhesive does not peel off from the insert or remain as foreign matter in the rotating body. An annular insert molded article 1 is manufactured by injection molding in a state where a thermoset resin adhesive A is applied to a joining surface of an annular insert 2 attachable to a rotating body to an annular plastic 3 and then the annular insert 2 and the annular plastic 3 are placed in a metal mold.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a manufacturing method of a protective cover having a sensor holder part that has high adhesion strength between a metallic component and a plastic component and maintains high reliability over a long period of time. The manufacturing method includes: a step of applying a thermoset resin adhesive to a surface of a metallic component 1A including a joining surface relative to a plastic component; a drying and solidification step of evaporating a solvent contained in the adhesive under a temperature condition at a temperature lower than a temperature at which the adhesive starts cross-linking reaction; and an injection molding step of placing the metallic component 1A as an insert in dies 18 and 19 and injecting a molten plastic material from a gate 20 into cavities.

Abstract: Pressure distribution on a surface of an ultrasonic probe can be measured directly. Piezoelectric sensors, in which a piezoelectric thin film is formed on a film-like substrate, are arranged in the form of an array on the surface of an ultrasonic probe, and a sensor output signal processing unit outputs pressure measured for each piezoelectric sensor S1, S2 to S9 based on output signals from each of the piezoelectric sensors to an image processing unit. The image processing unit generates a histogram of the measured pressures for piezoelectric sensors S1, S2 to S9, and displays the histogram, while plotting the piezoelectric sensors on the X axis and the measured pressures on the Y axis, along with the resulting ultrasound tomographic image, on a monitor.
