  • Patent number: 11679621
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes a hub portion, a rim portion, and a disc portion. The disc portion is arranged such that a window portion, a spoke portion, and a thin plate portion do not overlap when viewed from a wheel axis direction. The thin plate portion is connected to at least a part of the hub portion, the rim portion, and the spoke portion via a connection portion. A cross-sectional area of the connection portion that appears when the connection portion is cut in a wheel radial direction changes such that a cross-sectional area of an end of the connection portion becomes smaller than a cross-sectional area of another portion of the connection portion.

  • Publication number: 20050238033
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to access to a closed network from an open network while maintaining secrecy of the closed network. In order for the object, a relay positioned in an open network receives user identifying information as a request for connecting to an information providing apparatus positioned in a closed network from an external terminal. The information providing apparatus sends a confirmation request for confirming whether or not a connection request from the external terminal exists to the relay regularly. In case of receiving, the relay outputs the stored user identifying information to the information providing apparatus. The information providing apparatus receives the user identifying information from the relay and determines whether or not a connection to the external terminal can be allowed on the basis of the user identifying information.
