Abstract: An information display device includes a display unit configured to display information about an object such that the information about the object at least partially overlaps with forward view of a user, and a controller configured to control display of the display unit. The controller is configured to estimate or acquire a prospective moving direction of the object, acquire a sight-line frequency representing a frequency with which a sight-line of the user is directed to the object within a prescribed period, determine whether the sight-line frequency is equal to or more than a prescribed frequency threshold, and cause the display unit to display the prospective moving direction of the object at least on condition that the controller determines that the sight-line frequency is less than the frequency threshold.

Abstract: A drive assistance system includes a display object configurator that sets, as a display object or a non-display object, each of traffic participants recognized as alert objects from among nearby traffic participants, and a display controller that performs highlight image processing for highlighting the presence of the display object. When a first traffic participant set as the display object and a second traffic participant set as the non-display object are present in the vicinity of the subject vehicle and recognized as alert objects with the recognition of the first traffic participant by the driver being detected while the highlight image processing is performed, the display object configurator compares the degrees of influence of the first and second traffic participants, sets, as the display object, one of the first and second traffic participants designated on the basis of a result of the comparison, and sets the other as the non-display object.

Abstract: The revolution angle of film feeding rollers are controlled so that a transfer film is moved in the feeding direction thereof by a feeding amount being set slightly larger than the interval between adjacent longitudinal direction positioning marks and then stopped before transfer molding is carried out by a transfer molding section, the film feeding rollers are driven to move the transfer film, having been moved in the feeding direction, in the returning direction, the revolution angle of the film feeding rollers are controlled and the transfer film is stopped at a longitudinal direction transfer position after a longitudinal direction positioning mark detection section has detected the longitudinal direction positioning mark, a stationary mold and a movable mold are closed, molten resin is injected into the cavity formed therebetween from an injection nozzle, and the decoration on the transfer film are transferred to molded products in synchronization with molding.

Abstract: Provided is a transferring and molding method capable of forming a molded article on which a pattern is transferred in a prescribed position by automatically correcting a shift when there is produced a molded article on which the pattern is transferred with a shift. When the pattern of a molded article has a shift, the shift dimension and the shift direction of the pattern of the molded article are detected as digital values, and positional correction is carried out by automatically moving the transfer film by the detected shift dimension toward the side opposite from the detected shift direction. Thereafter, the pattern is transferred in the prescribed position of the molded article that has undergone the transferring, and molding is carried out.

Abstract: A solid-state image sensor comprising an effective pixel area having light receiving portions which perform photoelectric conversion by taking in light and an optical black area which forms a reference black level without taking in light. The light receiving portions are formed inside electrode opening port portions which are formed through an electrode. Electrode opening port portions in the optical black area which are formed through the electrode are formed narrower than the electrode port portions in the effective pixel area. Alternatively, there may be no opening port portions formed in the optical black area.

Abstract: Described is a coating composition for the formation of a back coat layer in a magnetic recording medium, which comprises carbon black, a binder and a solvent. The binder is composed of an acrylic-polymer-modified polyurethane resin and a vinyl chloride copolymer having at least one type of terminal groups selected from hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups or tertiary amino groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for regenerating ceramic honeycomb filters by removing soot heaped thereon through combustion, which comprises the steps of controlling the combustion of the soot such that a time t (minutes), required for raising a temperature of an exhaust gas from a soot-ignition temperature, Tig, to Tig+200.degree. C., satisfies the following inequality. ##EQU1## in which: Q: a total flow rate of the waste gas per unit volume of the filter in the initial stage (Nm.sup.3 /min/l)V: the volume of the filter (l); andS: heaped soot per unit volume of the filter (g/l).

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a continuous slide fastener stringer, including a plurality of longitudinally spaced rows of injection-molded coupling elements secured to a stringer tape along a longitudinal edge thereof with a plurality of element-free portions between the successive rows of the injection-molded coupling elements, includes a fixed feeler disposed on one of a pair of relatively movable mold members adjacent to a leading mold cavity therein for detecting a trailing end of the injection-molded coupling elements, and a movable feeler disposed on the one mold member downstream of the fixed feeler at a distance substantially equal to the length of the element-free portions of the stringer. The movable feeler is driven by a driving mechanism to selectively project or retract from a mold surface of the one mold member in interlocking relation with a feed mechanism which intermittently feeds the stringer tape by a predetermined distance.
