Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive agent which is curable and has flexibility at low temperature, and further has resistant to solvent type ink. The adhesive agent includes a base and an activator, wherein the base includes at least any one of: bisphenol F epoxy compound; bisphenol F epoxy compound mixed with an epoxy compound having three or more epoxy groups; and bisphenol A epoxy compound mixed with an epoxy compound having three or more epoxy groups, wherein the activator includes: 100 parts by mass of polyamide composed of a condensation reaction product of C36 unsaturated fatty acid dimer and polyamine; and 5 to 200 parts by mass of alicyclic polyamine, and wherein the base is mixed with the activator with a ratio of 10 to 200 parts by mass of the activator with respect to 100 parts by mass of the base.

Abstract: Apparatus for collecting information pertaining to a driver of the vehicle includes a unit for determining if the current load on the driver is a “low-load” in terms of satisfaction of one or more specific conditions. Driver information is stored and supplemented by answers to question scenarios communicated to the driver only when a “low-load” state is determined. A question information storage unit contains various question scenarios correlated with different items of driver information and from which a question scenario, corresponding to driver information not yet obtained, is retrieved for output when a “low load” is determined.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an ink jet head, characterized in having the steps of: bonding a nozzle plate and a support member by heating to make a composite member; forming nozzle holes in the nozzle plate of the composite member; and bonding the composite member having the nozzle holes formed to an actuator by heating with the use of a thermosetting adhesive, in such a manner that the support member side of the composite member comes to be in contact with the actuator.

Abstract: An inkjet head includes: an electrostrictive actuator having an ink channel to eject ink; and a manifold member for supplying the ink to the ink channel, wherein the actuator and the manifold member are jointed with an adhesive containing adhesive material and balloon filler.

Abstract: An agent apparatus has a system capable of executing, periodically or when a particular condition is satisfied, processing to judge whether or not a condition to autonomously start (automatically present) an agent is satisfied based on scenario data created by a scenario creating apparatus, and automatically presenting the agent when the condition is satisfied. Thus, in the scenario creating apparatus, regardless of whether having knowledge of programming or not, it is possible to create and edit scenario data of an agent which automatically appears and responds when a particular condition is satisfied by having a scenario editor.

Abstract: On a vehicle, a device for estimating a present position such as a GPS device and a communication device such as a cell phone are installed. The vehicle transmits a detected present position to an information center at specified intervals. On the other hand, the information center sets a plurality of areas in a region to which information is transmitted, and sets information for transmission for each area. When receiving data indicating the present position of the vehicle from the vehicle, the information center specifies, by using the data, an area where the vehicle is located, and transmits the information set for the area to the vehicle.

Abstract: A RAID device changes the redundancy of the RAID configuration, while allows various RAID level conversions and capacity increase. Using new and old RAID configuration definition information which define at least a RAID level and a number of logical devices, the control unit performs RLU mapping based on the respective RAID configuration definition information, and performs staging and write back to change the RAID configuration. Therefore various RAID level conversions and capacity increase can be implemented.

Abstract: A card trunk system according to the present invention includes a card storage means for storing cards in a state where they are classified by type, a card retrieval means for retrieving and taking out cards from the card storage means in a number to be machined and in the order of machining, and a card discriminating means for determining whether or not the card retrieved by the card retrieval means is a correct card. In consequence, the cards to be machined can be automatically arranged.

Abstract: Type capable of being used for both printing and embossing consists of a heat-curable resin and is divided into three layers. The uppermost layer constituting a typeface portion employs a finely divided granular heat-curable resin and exhibits a high hardness and surface smoothness. The lowermost layer constituting an impact face portion employs a coarse granular heat-curable resin and exhibits low hardness and elasticity. An intermediate layer formed by mixing these two layers at the interface between them constitutes a joint portion exhibiting intermediate hardness.
