Abstract: A pinch detection device at an opening/closing section has a very simple structure that can surely detect a pinch without faulty operation in a vehicle whose power supply voltage greatly fluctuates. The pinch detection device includes a sensor for detecting displacement of an opening/closing section of a vehicle to be opened/closed by a motor, and a time counter for counting a relative time adjusted according to a fluctuation in a power supply voltage. The pinch detection device also has a pinch detector for detecting a pinch of a foreign matter at the opening/closing section according to a change in a relative speed obtained based on a change in the displacement on a basis of the relative time.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for estimating, within a short time, the life of a cable insulating coating material containing an antioxidant in a suitable concentration based on the rate of decrease of the antioxidant and on the critical concentration of the antioxidant at which oxidative degradation rapidly proceeds. The method tests the coating material to examine its life, the coating material including a base polymer, and an antioxidant having a functional group suppressing an oxidative deteriorative reaction of the base polymer. The method includes performing a thermal degradation test on the coating material; determining the degradation levels and degradation rates of the coating material at two or more time points in the thermal degradation test, based on the ratio of the absorbance of the functional group of the antioxidant to the absorbance of the base polymer; and thereby evaluating the life of the coating material.
