Abstract: A polyurethane dispersion is an aqueous dispersion of a polyurethane resin. The polyurethane resin is a reaction product of an isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer and a chain extender. The isocyanate group-terminated prepolymer includes a reaction product of a polyisocyanate component containing a xylylene diisocyanate, and an active hydrogen group-containing component containing a short-chain diol having 2 to 6 carbon atoms and an active hydrogen group-containing compound containing a hydrophilic group. The chain extender includes an ethylenediamine. A ratio of the ethylenediamine is 25 mol % or more with respect to the total amount of the chain extender.

Abstract: In a tool holding portion of a machining tool, a cartridge is provided so as to be movable forward and backward. A cam accommodated inside a cam accommodation portion rotates while the cam is in abutment against the cartridge to thereby move the cartridge forward and backward. A rod which moves forward and backward inside a tool body along an axis is provided with an abutment portion. The abutment portion abuts against an abutment position of the cam according to the forward and backward movement of the rod to thereby rotate the cam. A restriction mechanism is capable of adjusting the phase of the cam when the abutment portion is apart from the abutment position so that a reference position is reached where the abutment position faces the abutment portion.

Abstract: A control device of a vehicle includes a discharge control unit configured to, in a case where a regenerative section is included in a scheduled traveling route of the vehicle, perform a discharge control for increasing a discharge amount of a power storage device as compared with a case where the regenerative section is not included in the scheduled traveling route. The discharge control unit is configured to determine a target discharge electric power amount, which is a target value to be discharged before the vehicle reaches a start point of the regenerative section, based on a predicted regenerative electric power amount that is capable of being generated in the regenerative section, and perform the discharge control based on the target discharge electric power amount and a parameter that changes in accordance with a distance from the vehicle to the start point.

Abstract: A welded joint comprising an aluminum-based base material comprising an aluminum alloy or pure aluminum and a copper-based base material comprising a copper alloy or pure copper joined by a weld metal portion is provided. The weld metal portion contains copper in ranges of less than 75% by mass and silicon in ranges of less than 13% by mass and has a higher content of copper and silicon than the aluminum-based base material.

Abstract: In a method for joining different type of metals, an Al-based base material (2) made of an Al alloy or pure Al and a Cu-based base material (3) made of a Cu alloy or pure Cu are joined to each other. The Al-based base material (2) and the Cu-based base material (3) are joined to each other by laser welding for melting and solidifying a portion irradiated with laser light using a filler metal (5) made of an Al alloy containing at least one of Si and Cu.

Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a boost device, a braking unit, a cell motor, and a start operating unit. The boost device boosts a braking force applied by a foot brake to a vehicle with an output voltage from a battery. The braking unit, which is different than the foot brake, brakes the vehicle appropriately and keeps the braking force even in a case that the output voltage is not supplied from the battery, or which braking unit does not require the output voltage from the battery. The cell motor is driven by an output voltage from the battery and starts the engine. The start operation unit starts the cell motor, wherein the vehicle control system has a function not to start the cell motor when the start operation unit is operated, unless the braking unit is in operation.

Abstract: A friction stir welding method which permits advantageous production of a product which has a sound welded area without joint defects, by joining together two members formed of the same material or respective different materials selected from a cast aluminum alloy and 2000 series, 4000 series, 5000 series and 7000 series aluminum alloys which are considered difficult to be joined together by the friction stir welding method. An initiation tab member formed of a 1000 series, 3000 series, 6000 series or 8000 series aluminum alloy is disposed in abutting contact with end faces of joining portions of first and second members (in an abutting part), on the side of initiation of the welding operation, and the friction stir welding operation is performed by moving a probe of a rotary tool through the initiation tab member into the joining portions of the two members.
