  • Patent number: 10864946
    Abstract: In order to increase road noise transmission loss, a double-wall panel includes a core material. The core material is enclosed between an outer wall and an inner wall facing each other, and has at least a predetermined thickness across the panel in all in-plane directions of the walls. The core material has a specific surface area of 20,000 (mm2/cm3) or more, where the specific surface area is defined as a surface area per unit volume.

  • Patent number: 10676622
    Abstract: FF properties of a multilayer coating film configured to exhibit a warm color through a lustrous layer (14) and a translucent colored layer (15) are improved to achieve a metallic textured color having a high-quality color tone. The lustrous layer (14) contains, in a mixed state, a high-reflection flake (21) having a visible light reflectance of 90 % or more and a low-reflection flake (22) having a visible light reflectance that is half (i.e., ½) or smaller than the visible light reflectance of the high-reflection flake (21) as the luster material. When both of the high-reflection flake (21) and the low-reflection flake (22) are projected on a bottom of the lustrous layer (14), a ratio of a projected area of the flakes (21) and (22) on the bottom of the lustrous layer (14) is 100 %.

  • Patent number: 10518818
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure of a vehicle includes a joint (20) formed by joining body parts such that the body parts overlap each other. The joint (20) includes a plurality of spot joints (21) and an adhesive joint (22). An adhesive has a storage modulus in the range of 100 MPa to 800 MPa and a loss factor of 0.2 or more at a temperature of 20° C. and an exciting force frequency of 60 Hz.

  • Publication number: 20190099781
    Abstract: FF properties of a multilayer coating film configured to exhibit a red color through a lustrous layer (14) and a translucent colored layer (15) are improved to achieve a metallic textured color having a high-quality color tone. The lustrous layer (14) is configured such that Y(10°) is 50 or more and 950 or less and that Y(25°) is 0.05 or more and 0.35 or less times the Y(10°), where Y(10°) represents a Y value, of an XYZ color system, of reflected light measured at a light receiving angle of 10° and Y(25°) represents a Y value of the reflected light measured at the light receiving angle of 25° in a case where a light incident angle is 45°. An inclination of a tangent to the spectrum of the spectral transmittance of the colored layer (15) at the wavelength of 620 nm is 0.012 nm?1 or more and 0.03 nm?1 or less, defined as an absolute value.

  • Patent number: 5372401
    Abstract: A sliding roof includes a light transmitting sliding sunroof and a light isolating sliding sunshade disposed beneath the sunroof. The light transmitting sliding sunroof opens a roof opening only while the light isolating sliding sunshade is in its open position. Also, the light isolating sliding sunshade closes the roof opening only while the light transmission sliding sunroof is in its closed position. Damage to the light isolating sliding sunshade, therefore, is prevented.
