Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first generator, a second generator, and a shaping controller. The first generator generates first shaping data for shaping a first solid object that represents identification information for a shaping unit for shaping a solid object, in the form of a three-dimensionally shaped pattern in which a plurality of layer regions are stacked and at least adjacent ones of the layer regions differ from each other in feature quantities. The second generator generates third shaping data that includes second shaping data for shaping a second solid object serving as a shaping target and also includes the first shaping data, and that is used for shaping a third solid object in which the first solid object is arranged in the second solid object. The shaping controller controls the shaping unit to shape the third solid object using the third shaping data.

Abstract: A motor drive device drives a stepping motor having a rotor mounted on a rotating shaft with a capability of making a transition between a plurality of excitation modes. A motor control unit drives the stepping motor by controlling the rotor to move to a position corresponding to an excitation modes. A stop control unit controls, when stopping the stepping motor, a stop of the rotor at a position to which the rotor is moved by the motor control unit common to the excitation modes after the stop of the rotor is issued.

Abstract: A system diagnosis apparatus comprises a communication processing device which acquires a utility rate of the system resources of a user system and a queue for the system resources, a memory device stores thresholds of the utility rate and the queue. An analysis device is provided which decides that the performance of the system resource has lowered when the utility rate is more than its threshold and the queue is shorter than its threshold, or decides that the number of system resources is insufficient when the utility rate is more than its threshold and the queue is longer than its threshold.

Abstract: An all terrain vehicle has a pair of front wheels that support a frame assembly. An engine is supported by the frame assembly and a steering column is supported by the frame assembly at a location generally forward of the engine. A set of handlebars are connected to an upper portion of the steering column and a lower portion of the steering column is operatively connected to the pair of front wheels. A power steering assembly is disposed along a portion of the steering column. The power steering assembly is operatively connected to the steering column. The power steering assembly comprises a motor having a longitudinal axis that extends in a generally lateral direction and at least a portion of the motor overlies a portion of the frame assembly.

Abstract: An imaging system for use with a patrol car includes at least one image pick-up device, a memory device, and a controller. The controller executes instructions to store image information captured by the image pick-up device in the memory device. Various operating modes of the imaging system may be selected based in part upon the operating conditions of the patrol car. Recording and transmitting of the image information may be performed manually or automatically, depending upon the operator of the system and the conditions of the patrol car. Both the interior of the patrol car (i.e., rear seat), and the environment outside of the patrol car (i.e., to the front and rear of the vehicle), may be recorded by the image pick-up systems. Additionally, automatic control such as 360° views upon reaching a desired destination may be performed based upon the configuration of the imaging system.

Abstract: A vehicle air conditioning system in which a sealing member is provided with, as an integral part, plates of main lips and sub-lips that are pressed against an air conditioning case in such a manner that the sub-lips stem from the surfaces of the plates. Since the sub-lips are formed to branch from the surfaces of the plates, which form the main lips, the stiffness of the main lips can be improved when rubbed against the air conditioning case when an evaporator (heat exchanger) is inserted into the air conditioning case. Accordingly, unwanted deformation occurring at the end portions of the respective main lips can be controlled, thereby making it possible to enhance the sealing ability of the sealing member for sealing a clearance between the air conditioning case and the evaporator.

Abstract: According to the present invention, in an air conditioning apparatus setting a double laminar mode in which an inside air and an outside air are blown while being partitioned, when the maximum heating state is set during an air outlet mode in which air is blown out simultaneously from both of a foot opening portion toward feet of a passenger and a defroster opening portion toward a windshield, a passage for conditioned air is partitioned into a first air passage for the inside air and a second air passage for the outside air. The first air passage is communicated with the foot opening portion, and the second air passage is communicated with the defroster opening portion.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a device for determining the concentration of a substance in a solution by making use of a quartz oscillator. In the device, at least one of a plurality of electrodes for applying an electrical voltage to a crystal wafer is separated from the crystal wafer, and the space between the separated electrode and the crystal wafer is filled with a conductive substance. The electrode-separated piezoelectric crystal oscillator thus obtained can be made more highly accurate, smaller-sized and more inexpensive.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pouring plug used for paper containers filled with juice, milk and the like. The present invention further relates to a pouring plug having a flange portion corresponding to a peripheral surface portion of a fitting hole of a container body and being mounted from inside of the container body, in which a plurality of projecting portions are provided, at a height position larger than a thickness dimension of a structural member of the container body form the flange portion, and on the peripheral surface portion corresponding to the inner peripheral edge of the fitting hole. When the pouring plug is inserted and arranged in the fitting hole, the projecting portions are completely withdrawn on the surface side of the container body so that the plug is positively temporarily fixed, and ultrasonic deposition can be carried out without any trouble.
