Abstract: An in-vehicle communication device on a transmitting side of a message includes: a delay time measuring unit measuring a delay time from when transmission of a message is first attempted to when the transmission of the message is started; and an assigning unit assigning the delay time measured by the delay time measuring unit to the message. An in-vehicle communication device on a receiving side of a message includes: a reception point acquisition unit acquiring a point in time when a message from the in-vehicle communication device on the transmitting side is received; a delay time acquisition unit acquiring a delay time assigned to the received message; and a calculation unit calculating a transmission cycle of each message based on a point in time acquired by the reception point acquisition unit and a delay time acquired by the delay time acquisition unit for each of two received messages.

Abstract: A robot device of the present disclosure includes at least one artificial muscle that operates by being supplied with liquid; and a liquid supply device that supplies and discharges the liquid to/from the artificial muscle, and the liquid supply device includes a liquid storage part that stores the liquid; a pump that sucks the liquid from the liquid storage part and discharges the liquid; a pressure regulating device that includes a spool and an electromagnetic part that allows the spool to move, and that generates drive pressure for the artificial muscle by regulating source pressure from the pump side, and regulates the source pressure by balancing at least a force given to the spool from the electromagnetic part and a force given to the spool by action of the drive pressure; and a control device that applies a current to the electromagnetic part of the pressure regulating device so that the drive pressure reaches target pressure.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp according to an aspect of the present invention includes a light source, a metal light-source stage including a light-source mounting portion, and a lens member that emits light from the light source toward the front of the lamp. The light-source stage includes a support portion for the lens member. The lens member includes a leg projecting toward the light-source stage and having an end that is supported by the support portion. The support portion includes three projections that abut the leg in a state in which the leg is supported by the support portion and position the lens member in a direction of an optical axis. The three projections are positioned relative to one another such that at least a portion of the light source lies in an extension range of a triangle with vertices given by the three projections.

Abstract: A vehicular lamp has a light source, a pillar-shaped light guide having a plurality of light controlling portions formed on a side surface thereof, and a lens disposed in front of the light guide. Light emitted from the light source enters the light guide from one end surface of the light guide. The light guide guides the light inside the light guide. The light guide emits the guided light forward of the vehicular lamp via the plurality of light controlling portions. The lens has a thick-walled projecting portion. The projecting portion is formed to have a rectangular vertical cross-section. The projecting portion guides the light emitted from the light guide and emits the light forward of the vehicular lamp.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a handle system including; a main body mounted to a mounting hole in a board; an operating member supported rotatably on the main body; a lock member locks/unlocks the board with a lock receiver in a vehicle's luggage compartment; and a cover adapted to a back surface of the main body, wherein the main body has a pair of side walls in which a pair of shaft holes are formed, a base portion positioned between the side walls, and a pair of elastic claws provided on the base portion to movably hold the lock member therebetween, wherein the operating member has a pair of projecting shafts which are inserted into the pair of shaft holes, and wherein the cover has opening suppressing portions which suppress an opening movement of the elastic claws.
