Abstract: Provided is a rolling bearing device comprising inner races (2), outer races (3), rolling elements (4), a retainer (5), and an inner race spacer (6). The inner race spacer (6) is formed of an oil reservoir member (7) made of a sintered metal impregnated with lubricating oil, and a spacer cover (8) fitted onto an outer periphery of the oil reservoir member (7). Through a centrifugal force to be applied to the oil reservoir member (7) at the time of bearing rotation, the lubricating oil is scattered radially outward through a chamfered portion (7d) of the oil reservoir member (7) via an oil supply passage (S), to thereby lubricate the interior of the bearing with oil.

Abstract: A plasma display panel has a display region and a non-display region formed around the display region. The rear plate has data electrode that applies a drive voltage to the rear plate, a dummy electrode that is in parallel with the data electrode and does not apply a drive voltage to the rear plate, an insulating layer that coats the data electrode and the dummy electrode, and a plurality of horizontal barrier ribs formed on the insulating layer and orthogonal to the data electrodes. The data electrode is arranged in the display region and the non-display region. The dummy electrode is arranged in the non-display region. An outermost horizontal barrier rib is arranged in the non-display region. The outermost horizontal barrier rib is opposed to the data electrode via the insulating layer, and is not opposed to the dummy electrode.

Abstract: A hot-melt composition according to the present invention includes (a) butyl rubber and (b) one or more selected from a group consisting of hydrogenated terpene phenol, styrene modified terpene, and hydrogenated terpene. The hot-melt composition of the present invention can be used as a sealing material used to provide sealing of a solar battery.

Abstract: A range selection apparatus includes a range operating unit for selecting a range, a drive unit that receives information representing the range selected by the range operating unit, and a range selection activating unit that is shifted to a position corresponding to the range by the drive unit. The apparatus further includes a range selection control unit having a delay unit configured to activate activating elements for shifting to the predetermined range. The delay unit provides a predetermined delay from the time the driver operates a shift lever or the like, thereby alleviating the shock attendant with the range shift.

Abstract: A chucking device for use when an outer peripheral end part of a semi-finished product having a pillar-shaped catalyst wrapped in a mat and housed in a cylinder is spin-processed using a plurality of spinning rollers. An outer peripheral surface of the semi-finished product is chucked using a plurality of pressing pieces. Each of the pressing pieces has a contact surface for touching the cylinder of the semi-finished product, and a pair of chamfers extending radially outward from either end of the contact surface.

Abstract: An AV device comprises a processing section for carrying out a process for view and listening, a signal output section for outputting a signal to the processing section, first signal input sections including a mobile audio input terminal, a first detecting section for detecting insertion/removal of a plug into/from the mobile audio input terminal, and a first control section for controlling the connection between the first signal input sections and the signal output section according to the result of the detection by the first detection section. Another AV device is provided in which insertion/removal of a plug into/from a second signal input section and indication information is outputted to a second video display section according to the detection result. With such constitutions, various processings can be carried out according to insertion/removal of a plug.

Abstract: An optical power measuring apparatus for measuring a power level of an optical signal comprised of a light intensity modulated signal, received by a light receiving element is provided. In the apparatus, a first signal path including a first voltage detection circuit and a first amplifier circuit supplies a processor with a first signal having a voltage proportional to a current flowing through a light receiving element (PD), and a second path including a TIA, a DC detection circuit and a second amplifier circuit supply the processor with a second signal. The second signal corresponding to an envelope of a voltage from the TIA.
