Abstract: A side sill outer panel and a side sill inner panel form a closed cross-sectional structure. A front end of a side sill is located at a rear of and spaced apart from a front tire-wheel unit on a front side of a vehicle. The side sill extends rearward. A front end portion of an outer reinforcement is located rearward from front end portions of both the side sill outer panel and the side sill inner panel.

Abstract: A suspension tower is coupled to a front side member at a portion of the front side member located frontward from a front pillar. A frontal vehicle structure includes a coupling member including a front end coupled to the suspension tower and a rear end coupled to the front pillar. The coupling member includes an outer panel and an inner panel that form a closed cross-sectional structure. The outer panel includes a weak portion arranged between a joined portion of the coupling member joined to the suspension tower and a joined portion of the coupling member joined to the front pillar.

Abstract: An imaging device having a multiband is provided. The imaging device includes a first photoelectric conversion element; a second photoelectric conversion element; a fixed mirror and a first moving mirror provided in correspondence to the first photoelectric conversion element and having reflective surfaces respectively facing each other with a first interval; a fixed mirror and a second moving mirror provided in correspondence to the second photoelectric conversion element and having reflective surfaces respectively facing each other with a second interval, the second moving mirror being coupled to the first moving mirror; and a driving member configured to move the first moving mirror and the second moving mirror relative to the fixed mirror.

Abstract: A hard disk drive is described, including a low-profile disk clamp to tied-shaft spindle/spindle motor assembly, in which a clamping nut is threaded onto a threaded spindle sleeve and a stationary shaft screw, or tied-shaft, penetrates through the HDD cover and into a shaft. The disk clamp may include a central opening for centering about the sleeve by way of the outer diameter of the clamping nut mating with the outer diameter of the clamp opening.

Abstract: Approaches to maintaining hard disk drive spindle motor rigidity and performance in low profile HDD devices comprise using an enclosure base with a bottom opening in which a separate motor cup is fitted and configured to support the spindle motor. The motor cup may then be fabricated using a different material than the enclosure base, such as a material having a higher modulus of elasticity than that of the base. Furthermore, a magnetic motor cup may be used to substitute for the thrust yoke typically used with conventional spindle motors.

Abstract: A spindle motor includes a shaft arranged concentric with as a central axis and extending in a vertical direction, a rotor unit arranged to rotate about the central axis, a stator including a base member and a magnetic member fixed to the base member and axially opposed to the magnet. The magnetic member includes an opposing portion axially opposed to the magnet so that a magnetic attracting force is generated between the opposing portion and the magnet and a protrusion portion protruding downwards from the opposing portion. The base member includes a recess portion, and the protrusion portion of the magnetic member is fixed within the recess portion.
