Abstract: Provided are a base station, whereby the erroneous detection of control information can be reduced, thereby preventing the degradation of the system throughput. A base station maps a downstream allocation control information unit, which is addressed to a terminal, to a first resource region, which can be used for any of a downstream control channel region and a downstream data channel region, or to a second resource region, which can be used only for the downstream control channel, so as to transmit the downstream allocation control information unit. In the base station, a control unit establishes a scale of the PDCCH region, and a transmission region establishing unit establishes, on the basis of a scale value established by the control unit, a mapping region to which the DCI is mapped within the R-PDCCH region and the PDCCH region.

Abstract: A vehicular door device causes a door to perform an opening-closing operation, based on an operation of a link mechanism formed of first and second link arms. Further, the first link arm is provided with a hand placement portion that rotates integrally with the first link arm. Then, the vehicular door device is configured in such a way that the first link arm supports a load applied to the hand placement portion.

Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle including a camera attached to a door of the vehicle to provide a rear field of view of the vehicle, the camera being articulable between an opened position and a closed position; an actuator affixed to the camera to rotate the camera; a position sensor that detects a position of the door between the opened position and the closed position; and an electrical control unit configured to operate the camera actuator based on the position detected by the position sensor such that the rear field of view is substantially directed in a horizontal direction to provide an unobstructed rear field of view when the door is articulated.

Abstract: A fastening device integrated into a vehicle to fasten a cargo including a strap assembly with a strap, and a hook affixed to a first extremity of the strap, a shaft assembly affixed to a second extremity of the strap to roll the strap, a ratchet assembly to prevent rotation of the shaft assembly in an unrolling direction when engaged, a handle assembly to engage and force the ratchet assembly to rotate, a housing assembly affixed to the body of the vehicle to support the shaft assembly, and the handle assembly, a head cover to cover the shaft assembly, the ratchet assembly, and the housing assembly and provide access to the handle assembly, a neck cover that protrudes downwardly from the head cover to receive the strap and the hook, wherein the handle assembly is articulable to engage the ratchet assembly and tighten the strap around the cargo.

Abstract: A grille apparatus for a vehicle includes a first cover arranged at an opening portion of a front grille, a second cover arranged at the opening portion of the front grille, and a drive mechanism changing a relative position of the first cover and the second cover in response to a driving force of a drive source, in which the drive mechanism changes an opening amount of the front grille by performing an opening operation moving the second cover to a rear of the first cover, and by performing a closing operation returning the second cover to a fully-closed position, the fully-closed position before moving the second cover to the rear of the first cover while maintaining the first cover and the second cover within the opening portion of the front grille.

Abstract: The present invention provides the development of techniques for development and removal of a resist in place of conventional chemicals, and the techniques to present pollution-free treatment of discharged water involved in this removal technique. Namely, the removal of an uncured resist after exposure of a board 40 is conducted by preferably immersing the board in a sodium carbonate solution tank 42, and then using an electrolyzed alkaline water by a showering apparatus 44, etc.; and the removal of a cured resist after etching is conducted by preferably swelling the cured resist by means of a sodium hydroxide solution and then using an electrolyzed alkaline water. Further, to a resist discharged water containing resist residues removed from the board 40 by means of the electrolyzed alkaline water, the electrolyzed acidic water is mixed to acidify the discharged water to a neutral to weekly acidic range, and then the resist residues are collected and recovered by means of a filter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a soft etching technique for degreasing and removal of oxide layers on the surface of a processed copper article and for improvement of adhesion with a resist film, and a technique by which the waste water treatment accompanying the soft etching can be made non-polluting. Namely, the surface of the processed copper article is treated with at first an electrolyzed alkaline water, then an electrolyzed acidic water and further an electrolyzed alkaline water, sequentially, and then subjected to washing with water and a drying treatment, and the waste water by the treatment with the electrolyzed acidic water and the waste water by the treatment with the electrolyzed alkaline water are mixed and neutralized, and from the thus obtained neutralized water, copper ions are recovered.

Abstract: A fan shroud for an internal combustion engine has a greater clearance from the cooling fan on the exhaust side of the engine than on the suction side. The greater clearance on the exhaust side aggressively increases the flow of cooling air on the exhaust side in the engine compartment. This equalizes the temperature throughout the engine, thereby reducing engine damage due to overheating.

Abstract: An air suction device for a V-type engine whereby primary and secondary side intake manifolds having other component assembled thereon is built into the V-type engine without dividing the manifolds. Each flange end portion of the primary side manifold-mounting flange is tightened to a primary side cylinder head by respective ones of primary side fasteners, whereas each flange end portion of the secondary side manifold-mounting flange is fastened to a secondary side cylinder head by respective ones of secondary side fasteners. On at least one side of the engine, the fasteners for respectively securing the flange end portions are located in an outward direction of the engine with respect to a port entrance centerline, which interconnects the centers of port entrance portions of the one side of the engine.

Abstract: An engine has an exhaust manifold placed on an air outlet side thereof, and an auxiliary device and a water pump are both positioned on the air outlet side of the engine toward one axial end of a crankshaft. The auxiliary device and the water pump are situated respectively at under and upper portions of the engine. At least one exhaust port as located on one side of the engine at one axial end of the crankshaft is positioned offset relative to the other side of the engine toward the other axial end thereof, thereby forming an enlarged void space in the engine between the water pump and the exhaust manifold. A thermostat case portion for a thermostat is placed in the void space.
