Abstract: The present application discloses a vehicle body rear portion structure for an automobile configured so that the rear deck cover opens or closes above a wheelhouse. The vehicle body rear portion structure includes a rear fender including an upper perimeter extending on an inner side in a vehicle width direction above the wheelhouse; a deck member extending in the vehicle width direction; and a support structure which supports the rear deck cover. The upper perimeter of the rear fender is connected to the deck member. The support structure includes a link mechanism, which opens and closes the rear deck cover, and a bracket portion including a mounting seat situated on an inner side with respect to a top portion of the wheelhouse in the vehicle width direction, the bracket portion supporting the link mechanism. The link mechanism is supported on the wheelhouse via the bracket portion.

Abstract: A method of adjusting the position of a solid-state scanning element and mounting the same, in a manuscript reading optical block included in a manuscript reading part of a solid-state electronic scanning system is disclosed in which the position of the solid-state scanning element is adjusted by handling the solid-state scanning element itself in a state that an adjustment pattern forming an optical standard and a lens support forming a positional standard of a device are set to an adjustment jig, so that the highest optical sensitivity is obtained, and in which a wiring board is fixed to the lens support in such a manner as using the position of a pin of the solid-state scanning element as a guide, while maintaining the solid-state scanning element in the above-mentioned adjusted state, and then the pin of the solid-state scanning element is fixed to the wiring board using a melt made of solder or the like to make an electrical connection therebetween.
