Abstract: A vehicle may include: a body including an opening; a door constituted of metal, the door being configured to open and close the opening; a rail garnish constituted of resin, the rail garnish being disposed along an edge of the opening; and a seal member disposed along an edge of the door and configured to seal a gap between the door and the body when the door closes the opening. The rail garnish may include a fixed portion, a contact portion, and a first bend and a second bend disposed between the fixed portion and the contact portion. The first bend and the second bend each may extend along the contact portion in a longitudinal direction of the rail garnish and are bent in different directions. A thickness of the rail garnish may be locally small at one or both of the first bend and the second bend.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a compact lens system equally operable in both air and water, comprising a first lens group having a front surface directly facing the air or water medium, the center of the curvature of the front surface being located approximately at the entrance pupil of the lens system, and a second lens group located at the image side of the first lens group with an air space formed between the first and second lens groups. The air space and design parameters being selected in the lens system so that the field curvature of the lens system is mainly changed without any substantial change in other aberrations when the air space is changed, wherein the air space is changeable by a predetermined value in response to the change between use in air and use under water for maintaining a relatively flat image surface.

Abstract: A variable soft focus lens system particularly adapted for photography is disclosed. The lens system incorporates two lens groups, a first object side lens group having an image side, rearmost surface convex to the image side, and a second, image side lens group having an object side, foremost surface concave to the object side. An airspace separating the first and second lens group has a meniscus shape concave to the object side. A good quality soft tone image having undersirable aberrations well within tolerable limits, is attained by shifting at least the second lens group along the optical axis relative to the first lens group whereby the airspace separating the two lens groups and a spherical aberration of the entire lens system is varied. An image does not lose proper focus while the spherical aberration of the system is varied. The second lens group has a refractive power within specified limits in relation to the refractive power of the entire lens system.

Abstract: A constant magnification zoom lens system is provided that has the capability of permitting a predetermined desired constant magnification of an image during a zoom operation. A variator lens group for varying the focal length of the lens system and a compensator lens group for controlling the position of an image formed by the lens system is provided. Pairs of cam and follower assemblies can be provided in the barrel mechanism to control the movement of the respective compensator lens group and variator lens group so that the position of an image of a fixed object is maintained within a predetermined depth of focus in a normal zooming mode of operation and also the position of an image of a moving object can be maintained within a predetermined depth of focus in response to any variation of focal length to provide a constant magnification photography mode.

Abstract: A variable soft focus lens system particularly adapted for photography is provided. The soft focus lens system includes at least two lens groups defining a meniscus shaped air space there between. The relative width of the air space can be variable by movement of one of the lens groups relative to the other. This movement can introduce a controlled amount of spherical aberration to provide within certain parameters a soft focus image with an acceptable Petzval sum and flatness of the image plane. Various embodiments of the present invention within the inventive parameters can be utilized and include both stationary and variable soft focus lens system.
