Abstract: In connection with an information transmission member-equipped external member (outer lid member) to be mounted on a container lid, the opening of the container lid and the destruction of the information transmission member are carried out by a series of operations. Upon rotational movement of an opening/closing cover (3) and an outer cover (4) relative to each other, the opening/closing cover (3) is raised to destroy a predetermined site of an IC tag (40), and a tamper-evident bottom section (38) is cut off, whereby the outer cover (4) is separated from the opening/closing cover (3), and the opening/closing cover (3) is opened sideways to make the opening/closing cover (3) detachable from the container lid.

Abstract: A processing unit performs a method including controlling a reading-out of data from a first storage medium at a predetermined read-out data rate to produce inputted data, and controlling a compression of the inputted data to produce first compressed data of a first compressed format. The method includes controlling a storage of the first compressed data in a second storage medium at a faster writing data rate than the predetermined read-out data rate, controlling a reading-out of second compressed data of a second compressed format from the second storage medium, and controlling a decompression of the second compressed data to produce decompressed data. The method also includes controlling simultaneously the storage of the first compressed data in the second storage medium, the reading-out of the second compressed data from the second storage medium, and audibly reproducing the decompressed data. The first compressed format is different from the second compressed format.

Abstract: A composite container lid which includes an inner cap fitted onto the container mouth portion by screw engagement, an over-cap fitted onto the inner cap, and an IC tag. The over-cap has a top panel and a skirt descending from the circumferential edge of the top panel. The inner cap has a top plate and a cylindrical wall descending from the circumferential edge of the top plate and has a thread formed in the inner surface thereof to come into screw engagement with the outer surface of the container mouth portion. An engaging means is provided between the inner surface of the skirt of the over-cap and the outer surface of the cylindrical wall of the inner cap to transmit the turn of the over-cap fitted onto the inner cap to the inner cap.

Abstract: A lightweight and low cost gear housing for a steering gear unit is achieved. Together with forming an outward-facing flange shaped convex engagement section 43 around the middle section in the axial direction of a rack shaft 40, a gear housing is constructed that comprises a pinion-side housing 10, a non-pinion-side housing 20, and an intermediate cylindrical section 30. As a result, movement of the rack shaft 40 toward the pinion side and the non-pinion side is restricted by both ends of the pinion-side housing 10. Therefore, portions that require large strength can be limited to the pinion-side housing 10 that is short in the width direction of the vehicle, so by reducing the wall thickness of the intermediate cylindrical section 30, or by making the intermediate cylindrical section 30 using a flexible material, it is possible to make the member lightweight, as well as processing become easier, so it becomes possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: A rack and pinion steering gear unit is achieved that is capable of preventing an increase in operating force of the steering wheel and auxiliary operating force from a motor, and improving the response performance to minute operation when traveling straight. A pressing roller 34 elastically pushes the rear surface 29 of a rack shaft 9 toward a pinion shaft 5. This pressing roller 34 is supported by way of a radial needle bearing 16a by a support shaft 33 that is supported by and fastened to a holder 30 so as to be able to rotate freely. A thrust needle bearing 35 that receives a thrust load that is applied to the pressing roller 34 is provided between both side surfaces in the axial direction of the pressing roller 34 and the inside surface of the holder 30.
