Abstract: A space between the trailing edge of a front fender and the outer surface of a front pillar lower in the vehicle width direction is covered with a synthetic resin enclosure inserted from the wheel housing side. The upper end of a main body of the enclosure is provided with an upper extending portion extending toward the lower end of the front pillar upper, and a reinforcing rib is formed on the outer surface of the upper extending portion so as to make the reinforcing rib in contact with the inner surface of a projecting portion of the front fender. A pressure applied to the projecting portion of the front fender is transmitted to the front pillar lower via the reinforcing rib, and thus the surface stiffness of the projecting portion of the front fender can be improved without adding a particular reinforcing member.

When the openable area is opened, a gap ? is formed between the fender panel and the openable area. In order to pull the finger hook, the finger is inserted into the finger hook from the resin hinge side to the slit portion side.

Abstract: A communication channel selection device, method and computer program product select a wireless communication channel among a plurality of communication channels with partially overlapping bandwidths in a frequency range available for use by an access point. A channel detector detects a busy channel used by another access point different from the access point. A signal strength detector detects a received signal strength of a wireless radio wave output from the another access point in the busy channel detected by the channel detector. A channel selector checks for a presence of a non-interfering channel that does not interfere with the detected busy channel, and when the channel selector does not detect the presence of the non-interfering channel, the channel selector selects the communication channel to be used by the access point based on the received signal strength of the wireless radio wave output in the busy channel.

Abstract: A first terminal connectable to a wireless LAN pre-stores utilization information required in order for a terminal to utilize the wireless LAN. At least one of either the first terminal, or a second terminal connectable to the wireless LAN, determines whether a predetermined operation requesting data transfer is present in the one terminal, and on the basis of the predetermined operation the first terminal transfers its stored utilization information via wireless means to the second terminal. The second terminal stores the utilization information transferred from the first terminal.

Abstract: Provided are a pattern measuring apparatus and a computer program which determine whether a gap formed in a sample (201) is a core gap (211) or a spacer gap (212). The secondary electron profile of the sample (201) is acquired, the feature quantities of the secondary electron profile at the positions of edges (303, 305) are detected, and based on the detected feature quantities, whether each gap adjacent to each of the edges (303, 305) is the core gap (211) or the spacer gap (212) is determined. Furthermore, the waveform profile of the spacer (207) is previously stored, the secondary electron profile of the sample (201) is acquired, a matching degree of the secondary electron profile and the stored waveform profile at the position of each spacer (207) is detected, and based on the detected matching degree, whether the each gap adjacent to each spacer (207) is the core gap (211) or the spacer gap (212) is determined.

Abstract: A relay device first uses latest authentication data to determine whether request-authentication data transmitted from a wireless communications device is valid. If the latest authentication data is used to determine that the request-authentication data is valid, the relay device carries out relayed communications with the wireless communications device. If the latest authentication data is used to determine that the request-authentication data is invalid, the relay device next uses a former authentication data to determine whether the request-authentication data is valid. If the former authentication data is used to determine that the request-authentication data is valid, the relay device provides the wireless communications device with the latest authentication data to update authentication data in the wireless communications device.

Abstract: According to the pattern search method of the present invention, detection of a detection image region relative to an observation image is performed by a pattern matching. An image whose size is substantially the same as that of the observation image is used as the detection image region. The detection image region is relatively displaced with reference to the observation image, thereby detecting a degree of similarity for a common region which is common to both of the region and the image. Displacement range of the detection image region is set in advance. If area of the common region is larger than a predetermined value, calculating the degree of similarity will be performed.

The detection block detects the light intensity of an area including the scanning area. The controller causes the pursuit block to suspend a pursuit of the target-object when the light intensity detected by the detection block is lower than a predetermined threshold value.
