Abstract: A vehicle lower-body structure includes a front pillar, including a front-pillar outer panel and a front-pillar inner panel, and a side sill, including a side-sill outer panel and a side-sill inner panel and joined to a lower portion of the front pillar. The front-pillar outer panel is joined to an outer surface of the side-sill outer panel. The front-pillar inner panel is held between the side-sill outer panel and the side-sill inner panel. The side-sill outer panel and the side-sill inner panel respectively include vertical beads in front of a reinforcement member disposed at a front portion of the side sill and below the front pillar, the vertical beads extending vertically.

Abstract: Glass bubbles for use as fillers in a plastic resin substrate of an electrical printed circuit board are light in weight, low in density, and small in alkali amount leached sufficiently to insure electrical insulation resistance of the substrate, and consist essentially of, by weight, SiO.sub.2 40.0-60.0%, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 5.0-22.0%, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 1.0-15.0%, CaO 10.0-30.0%, BaO 0-15.0%, MgO 0-10.0%, ZnO 0-10.0%, SrO 0-10.0%, Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O+Li.sub.2 O 0-1.9%, As.sub.2 O.sub.3 +Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3 0-1.54, V.sub.2 O.sub.5 0-10.0%, TiO.sub.2 0-10.0%, and SO.sub.3 0.05-1.7%.

Abstract: A glass composition for glass bubbles used as reinforcing fillers in plastic resin articles has an improved compressive strength and the reduced alkali amount leached from the glass. The glass composition consists essentially of, by weight percentages, SiO.sub.2 40-59%, R.sub.2 O 2-17%, R.sub.2 O being at least one selected from Li.sub.2 O, Na.sub.2 O, and K.sub.2 O, B.sub.2 O.sub.3 1-25%, RO 5-25%, RO being at least one selected from CaO, MgO, BaO, ZnO, and SrO, RO.sub.2 6-40%, RO.sub.2 being at least one selected from TiO.sub.2 and ZrO.sub.2, Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 0-13%, P.sub.2 O.sub.5 0-3%, and SO.sub.3 0.1-1.0%.
