Abstract: A capless filler includes a housing, a flap, and a biasing spring. The housing has a fuel hole. The flap includes a supported part, a base, and a protrusion. The supported part is provided at an end part and is supported by the housing. The base extends to the supported part. The protrusion protrudes from the base. The flap is turned on a fulcrum at the supported part between open and closed positions. The biasing spring biases the flap in a direction from the open position to the closed position. The biasing spring pushes the base against an opening rim of the fuel hole at the closed position. The flap is turned in a direction from the closed position to the open position in response to the protrusion being pushed. At least a part of the protrusion is provided as a nozzle guide.

Abstract: The computer system includes one or more storage devices and a management computer, the management computer includes an information collection unit, an event detection unit, a plan generation unit, and a plan execution unit. The plan generation unit determines a target volume of a change process of a right of control in a plan, a processor of a change source of the right of control, and a processor of a change destination of the right of control, estimates an influence by a change process of the right of control in the plan, and the plan execution unit determines execution time of the plan based on the estimation of the influence and the operation information of the storage devices. As a result, in consideration of the influence by an ownership change process, while the influence applied to usage of a computer system is suppressed, the ownership change process is executed.

Abstract: A vehicle front-wheel turning control apparatus includes a drive force transmission path, a braking force controller, a detector, and a front-wheel turning controller. The detector detects one of occurred contact of the vehicle with respect to a forward object at an occurred contact position and unavoidable contact thereof at an unavoidable contact position. The front-wheel turning controller turns one, of the left and right front wheels, to which the drive force is transmitted, by causing the braking force controller to apply the braking force to the one of the left and right front wheels, on a basis of a state of the drive force transmitted to each of the left and right front wheels and one of the occurred and unavoidable contact positions, when the one of the occurred contact and the unavoidable contact is detected by the detector.

Abstract: By a simple configuration, contact members can be well retained with a housing in a mutually opposed state, and productivity can be improved. When the contact members in the mutually opposed state are to be attached to the housing, a contact retainer prepared by molding in advance is used by disposing the contact retainer in part of the contact opposed region. As a result, the contact members are stably retained in the mutually opposed state even in injection molding molds. Even in a case in which the contact members normally cannot be retained in the mutually opposed state in the injection molding molds, the housing and the contact members can be integrally molded by well retaining the contact members in the mutually opposed state by using the contact retainer and a contact retainer auxiliary and executing an injection molding process.

Abstract: A coating solution of SOG is applied on a silicon oxynitride film (11) and precured. As a result, moisture contained in the coating solution volatilizes, and an SOG film (12) is formed. Next, a coating solution of SOG is applied on the SOG film (12) and precured. As a result, an SOG film (13) is formed. Thereafter, a coating solution of SOG is applied on the SOG film (13) and precured. As a result, an SOG film (14) is formed. Subsequently, a main cure of the SOG films (12, 13, and 14) is performed. The viscosity of the coating solution of SOG used for forming the SOG film (12) is lower than those of the coating solutions of SOG used for forming the SOG films (13 and 14).
