Abstract: With a laser decoration method for forming a painting film layer on a surface of a metal base material, and irradiating the painting film layer with a laser beam LB, thereby applying decoration, the decoration part is effectively colored by a simple process, which enables decoration with high visibility while omitting a complicated process. The problem was solved by a production method of a decorated aluminum base material characterized by including a process of forming a painting film layer on a surface of an aluminum base material, a process of partially exposing the surface of the aluminum base material by irradiation with a laser beam, and a process of subjecting the surface of the aluminum base material to an oxide film forming treatment, wherein a colored oxide film is formed on the exposed surface of the aluminum base material by the oxide film forming treatment.

The all-solid-state secondary battery is capable of suppressing the generation of the hydrogen sulfide.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is achieved by a surface treatment agent to be used for surface treatment of an aluminum alloy material for forming cans, which includes zirconium, aluminum, a nitrate radical, and fluorine, wherein the pH ranges from 2.0 to 4.0, the molar mass concentration of the zirconium ranges from 3.2 mmol/kg to 33.0 mmol/kg, the molar mass concentration of the aluminum ranges from 14.8 mmol/kg to 74.1 mmol/kg, the molar mass concentration of the nitrate radical ranges from 16.1 mmol/kg to 161.4 mmol/kg, the molar mass concentration of the fluorine ranges from 52.6 mmol/kg to 526.3 mmol/kg, (F?6Zr)/Al?2.5 is satisfied (wherein, F represents the molar mass concentration of the fluorine, Zr represents the molar mass concentration of the zirconium, and Al represents the molar mass concentration of the aluminum, and substantially no phosphorus compound is contained.

Abstract: A weather strip for attachment along a side of a roof of a motor vehicle has a bottom portion to be attached to a door opening portion and a seal wall of which side ends are respectively connected to the bottom portion. The bottom portion and the seal wall define a tubular space of which the height is less than the width thereof. A widthwise inside half of the bottom portion is composed of a solid rubber, and is attached to the door opening portion via a base plate of a roof-side moulding. A widthwise outside half of the bottom portion and the seal wall are continuously formed of a sponge rubber. The widthwise outside half of the bottom portion serves as an extended part of the seal wall, and flexes along with the seal wall when the seal wall is pushed by a door glass upwardly, thereby sufficiently wrapping a peripheral edge of the door glass.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a weather strip attached to a flange (2) of a door opening part (1) of a vehicle body and that has a mounting base part (51) and a hollow seal part (52) in which tip ends of side-face projections (521,522) protruding from one side face of the mounting base part (51) so as to increase the width of the hollow seal part (52) toward the tip ends thereof are connected to each other by a seal wall (523). The projecting widths of the side-face projections (521,522) are changed in each of a first part (5A), a second part (5B), and a third part (5C), each of which is provided along a corresponding one of a roofside portion (1A), a front vertical portion (1B), and a rear vertical portion (1C) of the door opening (1). This changes the tilt angle of the seal wall 523 with respect to the flange (2).

Abstract: A variable valve timing mechanism is provided at the distal end of an exhaust camshaft for changing a valve timing of an intake valve. An exhaust and intake camshafts are rotatably supported by a cylinder head, and both camshafts are connected by gears. The exhaust camshaft has a flange. The sleeve has large diameter portions at both ends of its journal, and has a distal end surface and a proximal end surface that is adjacent to the flange. A housing is fixed at the distal end of the exhaust camshaft. A ring gear is positioned between the housing and the sleeve. First and second hydraulic pressure chambers are defined at the ends of the ring gear. A pressure receiving surface is provided on the exhaust camshaft. The receiving surface is located in the second pressure chamber, while the distal end surface is located in the first pressure chamber.

Abstract: A glass run to be attached to flanges of a door frame of a motor vehicle has a U-shaped main portion, seal lips extending from ends of the main portion inwardly for sandwiching a periphery of a door glass when being raised to its closed position, and outer lips extending from both ends of the main portion outwardly, turning upwardly and extending along both side walls of the main portion for holding the flanges of the door frame. One outer lip which is provided in the molded part of the glass run for holding an outer flange of the door frame has a projecting portion at a root portion thereof, which projects toward its facing side wall of the main portion. In the molded part of the glass run, the outer flange of the door frame is securely held between the projecting portion and its facing side wall of the main portion whereby the outer lip is stably attached to the door frame with good shape retention.

Abstract: An electronic cash register comprises a key cylinder switch for selecting a registration mode for registering the price information of the commodities and a calculation mode for withdrawing the information as registered, a first and second memories, a printer, and a printer control means for controlling the printer. The first memory comprises storing regions for accumulatively storing the total amount information of the prices of the commodities for each of the respective commodity department codes registered in the registering mode. The second memory comprises storing regions for storing the outputting order of the total amount information for each of the respective commodity department codes. The printer control means is responsive to the first and second memories to control the printer to print out the total amount information for each of the commodity department codes stored in the first memory in the outputting order stored in the second memory.
