Abstract: There are provided a hinge pillar comprising an outer panel and an inner panel which form a closed cross section extending vertically, a hinge pillar reinforcement provided in the closed cross section, a front door attached to the hinge pillar via a pair of upper-and-lower door hinges, and a hinge bracket attaching the lower door hinge to the hinge pillar reinforcement, the hinge bracket being provided to face a front wheel in a longitudinal direction. Herein, the hinge bracket has a lower strength than a portion of the hinge pillar reinforcement where the hinge bracket is provided. Accordingly, when receiving a collision load from the front wheel, the hinge bracket changes a contact portion of the front wheel to the hinge pillar so as to guide the retreating front wheel outward in a vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A rear pillar inner provided at a side panel inner and extending upward from a front-side upper portion of a rear wheel house, a rear pillar reinforcement joined to an outside portion of the rear pillar inner, and an outside reinforcing member connecting an outside portion of the side panel inner and the rear wheel house are provided. The rear pillar reinforcement has a rear-side pillar-reinforcement ridge portion extending vertically. The outside reinforcing member has a front-side reinforcing-member ridge portion extending vertically. A lower end portion of the rear pillar reinforcement and an upper end portion of the outside reinforcing member are joined such that the both ridge portions are arranged to align substantially straightly, when viewed from the side, and to slant in such a manner that an upper side thereof is positioned relatively forward compared to a lower side thereof.

Abstract: A structure is configured such that a viewer hardly feels strangeness of color tone or texture even when paint mist is attached to a center pillar 3 during coating of a body outer plate. A panel surface of an outer panel 35 of the center pillar 3 has a protrusion in a middle in the vehicle vertical direction such that at least part of a lower portion of the panel surface projects toward the outside of the vehicle body relative to an upper portion of the panel surface. A start end HL of the protrusion is located at substantially an identical height to a door body upper edge line UL in at least a center portion in a pillar width of the pillar outer panel.

Abstract: A portable terminal device and a method for informing of event thereof, which efficiently inform a user of events, such as incoming calls, a timer, and the like, without disturbing a user's operation, are provided. Therefore, a simplified event informing mode in which an outline of the event is briefly displayed on an icon area of a display unit for a predetermined time period and is informed, and a detailed event information mode in which a sensor 18 detects form change made by the user, and details of the event are displayed, are disclosed. The user can optionally and readily choose one of simplified event information and detailed event information.

Abstract: An output shaft is divided into a first output shaft and a second output shaft. Torque from a motive power distributing planetary gear is transferred to the first output shaft. The first output shaft is supported on partition walls by a both-end support structure via bearings. Assist torque from a transmission is applied to the second output shaft. The second output shaft is also supported on partition walls by a both-end support structure via bearings.

Abstract: A front end portion of an output shaft is supported by a bearing mounted to an inner peripheral surface of a partition that separates a power distributing planetary gear and a speed change unit. A rear end portion of the output shaft is supported via a bearing which is interposed along a portion of the same plane along which also lies a mounting surface of a bearing in a rear wall that supports a rear end portion of a rotor of a second motor. As a result, the output shaft is supported by a twin support structure via the bearings by the partition and the rear wall.

Abstract: A communication terminal device for making a television telephone communication between communication terminal devices includes: an image processing unit for embedding character information inputted during the television telephone communication into image information transferred through the television telephone communication; and a sending unit for sending the image information into which the character information is embedded by the image processing unit to the communication terminal device of the other party.

Abstract: A floor is partitioned into a plurality of areas S1 to S4 by a floor tunnel portion 11, side frames 13, side sills 12, and cross members 7, 8, 15, and 16, and the rigidity of the floor panels of the areas S1 to S3 is adjusted by rigidity adjustment portions 20, 21, 22, 23, and 25. These floor panels are set such that their natural frequency in a 2×1 mode, in which two antinodes are generated in the length direction of the automobile and one antinode is generated in the width direction of the automobile, is 240 to 260 Hz. Thus, a reduction in road noise due to automobile tire cavity resonance is achieved.

Abstract: An upper body structure of a vehicle includes a front header extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle. The front header is formed as a generally boxed channel by an upper header frame and a U-channel shaped lower header frame. A side rail extends in a lengthwise direction of the vehicle and has upper and lower rail frames connected so as to form a generally boxed channel. The U-channel shaped lower header frame and the upper rail frame are interconnected by a generally U-channel shaped rigid reinforcement structure.

Abstract: In a rear body structure of a vehicle, a rear pillar forms a rear edge portion of an opening for a door which is formed on one side portion of the vehicle body. A rear fender is connected to the rear pillar and extends rearwardly therefrom. A suspension tower is connected to the rear fender at a distance from the rear pillar. A reinforcement is connected to upper portions of the rear fender and the suspension tower so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. An impact absorbing portion is provided between the rear pillar and the suspension tower to prevent the rear pillar from being deformed in response to forward displacement of the suspension tower which is caused by a forward impact load acting on the suspension tower.
