  • Publication number: 20150307800
    Abstract: There is provided a sliding member that has sufficient wear resistance and good adhesion to a base formed of a sintered body. The sliding member includes a surface layer formed of a crosslinked fluoropolymer and a base that adheres closely to the surface layer. The base is a sintered body having a full density ratio in the range of 0.75 to 0.96 and is formed of a material having higher thermal conductivity than a fluoropolymer. The surface layer has a thickness in the range of 1 to 300 ?m.

  • Patent number: 8415051
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a battery storage structure for acoustic equipment having a housing and a battery-driven speaker disposed on the housing, the battery storage structure for storing a battery in the housing. A case storage section is disposed in the housing and has an open surface. A battery case has an open surface and is stored within the case storage section, wherein the open surface of the battery case is oriented in the same direction as the open surface of the case storage section. At least one connection section connects the battery case and the case storage section, wherein a predetermined gap is formed between an inner bottom surface of the case storage section and an outer bottom surface of the battery case, and between an inner side surface of the case storage section and an outer side surface of the battery case.

  • Patent number: 7440847
    Abstract: A navigation system for guiding a moving object from a current position to a destination includes a setting device that sets the current position and the destination, a sensor that detects movement of the moving object, a computing device that calculates move distance that the moving object has moved from the current position based on data outputted from the detecting sensor, and that determines a position of the moving object by shifting the calculated move distance from the current position on path data between the current position and the destination, which has been obtained by a path planning. The navigation system further includes a display device for displaying path guidance information depending on the determined position of the moving object.

  • Patent number: 7375276
    Abstract: A pick-up system is provided that can be suitably used irrespective of the type of the guitar by means of an arrangement of a plurality of pick-up coils that can appropriately conform to the curvature of the strings that are arranged in a stringed instrument. In accordance with the pick-up system of the present invention, it is possible to adjust the curvature of the roof surfaces of the pick-up coils in conformance with the bending of a pick-up board on which the pick-up coils have been mounted. Therefore, a distance that is always an appropriate distance can be maintained between each of the pick-up coils that are arranged on the pick-up board and each of the strings by means of the suitable adjustment of the curvature of the pick-up board. Accordingly, there is the advantageous result that the vibrations of each of the strings can be appropriately detected irrespective of the type of guitar.

  • Patent number: 7151212
    Abstract: A keyboard apparatus is provided with a key unit that has a plurality of keys supported for pivotal motion. Also provided is a detection section for detecting a key speed when any of the keys are pivoted. The key unit and detection section are supported by a housing having a bottom member formed of a resin. A reinforcing member having a sufficient rigidity is provided to reinforce the bottom member of the housing such as to reduce warping of the bottom member so as to reduce movement of the detection section as a result of warping of the bottom member.
