Abstract: The toner contains binder resin-containing toner particles and silica fine particle S1, wherein the weight-average particle diameter of the toner is 4.0-15.0 ?m, both inclusive, peaks originating with the silica fine particle S1 are observed in 29 Si-NMR measurement of the silica fine particle S1, and, in the spectrum obtained by 29Si CP/MAS NMR or 29Si DD/MAS NMR, the peak area of a peak corresponding to the D1 unit structure in the silica fine particle S1, the peak area of a peak corresponding to the D2 unit structure in the silica fine particle S1, and the peak area of a peak corresponding to the Q unit structure in the silica fine particle S1 satisfy a prescribed relationship.

Abstract: In a compression device, a central processing unit acquires data containing a plurality of element points for specifying the shape of an object composing the map image, and thereafter calculates a second-order differential value of a predetermined one of the plurality of element points acquired. The second-order differential value is a differential value between a first-order differential value of the predetermined element point and a first-order differential value of an immediately preceding element point, and the first-order differential value is a differential value between a coordinate value of the predetermined element point and a coordinate value of the immediately preceding element point. The central processing unit further generates compressed data containing the second-order differential value calculated thereby.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a travel route display apparatus capable of displaying travel route segments of great importance for the operator in a clearly recognizable manner for the operator.

Abstract: A molding for a front glass mounted continuously, from right and left front pillar portions to a roof portion, to a gap between a peripheral portion of a front glass of a vehicle and a window frame of a body of the vehicle. The molding has a groove lip which is formed of a different material than a material of a leg portion, a head portion, a glass lip and a panel lip, and which extends over a predetermined length from a lower portion to an upper portion of the front pillar portion. The extended length of the groove lip becomes gradually shorter and disappears over a corner portion of the upper portion of the front pillar portion and the roof portion. The leg portion, the head portion, the glass lip, the panel lip and the groove lip are integrally extrusion-molded. The entire sectional configuration does not deform at a portion whose cross-section is changed, and high adhesion of the molding to the front glass can be maintained.

Abstract: A molding for mounting in a gap between an outer periphery and a window frame of an automobile is disclosed. The molding is formed of a length of material having first and second pillar sections extending into corner sections, the corner sections being interconnected via a roof section. A cross-section of the molding includes a leg portion and a head portion extending therefrom, the head portion having a parasol-shape and overhanging the leg portion. The leg portion includes upper, intermediate and lower portions, the intermediate portion being formed of a different material. A glass lip projects from a first side of the leg portion, the molding being configured to receive an outer periphery of the front glass between the glass lip and a lower surface of the head portion. Additionally, a panel lip projects from a second side of the leg portion, the panel lip being adapted to elastically abut and engage the window frame of the automobile.

Abstract: The molding member provides a substantially vertical wall along either side of the windshield, and a flush surface along the top side of the windshield so that rainwater on the surface of the windshield is prevented from flowing sideways along the side windows of the vehicle, and guided to the roof of the vehicle body. The transition from the middle portion of the molding member to the end portions is so gradual and smooth that it is highly pleasing to the eye, and would not create any undesirable aerodynamic disturbances. In particular, because the vertical walls on either side are defined as a smooth extension of the convex exterior surface of the head portion of the molding member, they can prevent accumulation of snow which otherwise may be produced along the side edges of the windshield as a result of operating a windshield wiper during snowfall but still effectively prevent the flow of rainwater to the side windows of the vehicle during rainfall.
