A multilayer film includes first and second layers containing an acrylic-based resin, and a polycarbonate resin layer located between the first and second layers and containing a polycarbonate-based resin. The multilayer film is transmissive to visible light. A first gravure print layer is located on a first main surface of the multilayer film, includes a first graphic layer, and is transmissive. A backer film contains a polycarbonate-based resin and is transmissive. The first graphic layer includes a first image at a predetermined position in a three-dimensional shape of a decorative film formed in the three-dimensional shape. A patterned layer includes a pattern patterned to allow visible light to pass through the first image at the predetermined position in the three-dimensional shape.

Abstract: Provided is a system which can reduce load on a travel controller that performs a danger avoidance operation by preliminarily detecting a significant event without increasing an amount of ITS communications, thereby providing suitable assistance for travel control of autonomous vehicles. When a vehicle 1 passes through a certain section of a road after an in-vehicle terminal 4 has detected a significant event while the vehicle 1 is traveling in the section, the in-vehicle terminal 4 transmits event data (images and other information related to the event) to a roadside apparatus 6 at an end point of the section. The roadside apparatus 6 transmits the event data to another roadside apparatus 6 at a start point of the section, which in turn transmits the event data to an in-vehicle device in another vehicle entering the section so that the device can perform travel control based on the event data.

Abstract: In this optical rotary encoder, detection tracks of a rotating disc are irradiated with detection light emitted from a light-emitting element. An optical signal obtained via slits in the detection tracks passes through a slit pattern in a fixed slit plate and is received by light-receiving surfaces of a light-receiving element. The slit pattern in the fixed slit plate is formed so as to fit into a range of an effective spot of the detection light. An LED or other light-emitting element that has a small effective spot diameter can be used, which is advantageous in terms of reducing costs and making the device more compact.

Abstract: A rotary encoder is incorporated in an annular space formed between a hollow rotating shaft and an encoder case. The rotary encoder has an annular printed wiring substrate, a plurality of mounting substrates that are outward from the printed wiring substrate in the radial direction and are arranged in the circumferential direction, and inter-substrate wiring cables bridged between the printed wiring substrate and each of the mounting substrates in the radial direction. Power supply to the mounting substrates and signal transmission and reception between the mounting substrates can be accomplished without routing around the wiring cables. It is possible to achieve a rotary encoder that is suitable for being incorporated in a narrow annular space.

Abstract: A composite structure including a conductor region that is configured from a first oxide, and an insulator region that is configured from a second oxide and that surrounds the conductor region, wherein the first oxide and the second oxide are in hetero structure with each other. A powder and a fired body each having such a composite structure are also preferable.

Abstract: A hollow type rotation detecting device has a 2-pole magnet ring and a multi-pole gear, the 2-pole magnet being coaxially fixed to the outer circumferential surface of the shaft end part of a hollow motor shaft that extends coaxially inside a cylindrical cover. In an annular gap between the cylindrical cover and the 2-pole magnet ring and multi-pole gear, rigid boards are arranged with an orientation facing in a tangential direction at prescribed intervals along the circumferential direction. The rigid boards are electrically connected to one another by flexible printed wiring boards. It is possible to obtain a rotation detecting device suitable to be incorporated into the narrow annular gap between a motor house and the shaft end part of the hollow motor shaft in a hollow motor having a large hollow diameter.
