Abstract: A door pop-up system includes a check link, which is rotatably coupled to a body of a vehicle, and a pressure member, which is rotatably arranged inside a door. The check link has a tip portion to enter the inside of the door. The pressure member presses a tip of the check link in a movement direction of the check link in which the check link moves as the door in a closed position is actuated to be opened. The door in a closed position is actuated to be opened by rotation of the pressure member and pressing of the tip of the check link with the pressure member. The pressure member has a pressure surface at which the tip of the check link is pressed. The pressure surface has a restriction surface to restrict displacement of the check link in a height direction.

Abstract: A door opening degree adjustment device includes a check link having a stopper portion, a guide member having a guide hole, and an adjustment member. The adjustment member includes a plurality of stages of step portions and a guide projection that is inserted in the guide hole movably in the extending direction of the guide hole. The adjustment member causes the stopper portion to contact the step portions of any one of the stages, thereby restricting an opening operation caused by pivoting of the door in one direction. The guide projection is arranged on an extended line that connects the stopper portion to one of the stages of the step portions that contacts the stopper portion in the direction of the movement of the check link.

Abstract: Provided are a vehicle door drive apparatus and a vehicle door drive method capable of decreasing, in a vehicle in which a vehicle door (such as a side door, a back door, and a trunk lid) can manually be opened, an operation force required when the vehicle door is manually opened. According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a command of automatically opening a side door in a fully closed state by a predetermined amount that does not bring the side door into a fully open state is input, a pop-up opening degree ? is determined depending on whether the command is input on a switch on an outer side of a vehicle, or is input on a switch on an inner side thereof. Then, based on the determined opening degree ?, a pop-up open operation is carried out.

Abstract: An opening adjusting device adjusting an opening of a door for a vehicle, the opening adjustment device being used at a door checking mechanism including a movement restriction portion configured to be fixed at the door for the vehicle, the door checking mechanism being provided with a check link including a first end portion being rotatably mounted on a vehicle body, the check link extending at an inside of the door for the vehicle, the check link being movable in a longitudinal direction of the check link relative to the movement restriction portion relatively, the door checking mechanism including a stopper portion being provided at a second end portion of the check link includes an opening adjusting block including a first portion and a second portion having a predetermined distance from the first portion in a moving direction of the check link, and the movement restriction portion.

Abstract: A pop-up mechanism of a door for a vehicle includes a first member configured to be supported at a vehicle body and to transmit a force to a door for a vehicle, a second member configured to store an external force applied to the second member and to transmit the force that is stored to the first member, and a trigger member releasing the force stored by the second member, the first member opening the door for the vehicle based on the force stored by the second member in a case where the trigger member releases the force stored by the second member.

Abstract: A method for developing a non chemically amplified resist employs a developing fluid having a carboxylic acid compound, which is a carboxylic acid ester having branched chain alkyl groups and a total carbon number of 8 or greater, as a main component. It is particularly preferable for the carboxylic acid compound to be at least one of isobutyl butyrate, butyl isobutyrate, isobutyl isobutyrate, isoamyl isobutyrate, and 2-methylbutyrate 2-methylbutyl. It is also preferable for the non chemically amplified resist to be a resist having a copolymer of an ?-chloroacrylate ester compound and an ?-methylstyrene compound as a main component.

Abstract: A functional film has an organic layer and an inorganic layer which are alternately formed on a support and a protective material which is stuck to a rear surface of the support through an adhesive layer and has thermal characteristics different from thermal characteristics of the support, in which an adhesive force between the adhesive layer and the support is 0.01 N/25 mm to 0.15 N/25 mm, and an adhesive force between the adhesive layer and the protective material is 5 N/25 mm to 50 N/25 mm. In a state where a long laminate composed of the support, the adhesive layer, and the protective material is being transported in a longitudinal direction, the organic layer and the inorganic layer are alternately formed on the surface of the support. As a result, a low-cost functional film, in which the inorganic layer or the like is not damaged and which stably demonstrates the intended performance, is obtained.
