Abstract: An automatically opening/closing apparatus for vehicle of rack-and-pinion type is reduced in size and weight. The automatically opening/closing apparatus for vehicle is automatically opened/closed, by transmitting rotation of an electric motor to a back door through a drive power transmitting mechanism comprising a pinion and a rack. The rack is supported linearly reciprocably by a slide mechanism comprising a slide block and a guide rail. The slide block is formed to be sufficiently short to the entire length of the rack and the guide rail is accordingly formed to be short. Further, the rack is provided with a groove portion, and a holding member contacting with a holding face is disposed in the groove portion. Then, an interval between the rack and the opinion is maintained by the holding member, whereby engagement of the pinion therewith is ensured.

Abstract: A solid electrolytic capacitor comprises a capacitor element which includes an anode foil and a cathode foil rolled with a separator interposed therebetween, and a solid electrolyte layer or an electrically conductive polymer layer provided therein. The cathode foil is coated with a film of a titanium-containing compound metal nitride. The compound metal nitride is aluminum titanium nitride, chromium titanium nitride, zirconium titanium nitride or titanium carbonitride.

Abstract: The force from a drive rod driven by an electric motor is transmitted via a link arm pivotally linked to the drive rod and a back door. When the back door is operated in opening direction, the link arm is supported by open-side support sliders and the acting direction of the force applied to the link arm by the drive rod is shifted to the opening direction of the back door. When the back door is operated in dosing direction, the link arm is supported by closed-side support slider and a closed-side support roller and the acting direction of the force applied to the link arm by the drive rod is shifted to the closing direction of the back door. The open-side and closed side support sliders are pressed against the link arm by leaf spring members so that the link arm is prevented from oscillating between the sliders.

Abstract: The invention provides to make an automatic opening and closing apparatus for a vehicle to be thin. An outer rack is attached to an outer side of a stay fixed to a vehicle in such a manner as to freely move in an axial direction along the stay. A thickness of the stay is set to be smaller than a width, and a cross sectional shape thereof is formed so as to be in a substantially thin convex shape. A width in a base end wall portion of the outer rack is formed so as to be larger than a width of a side surface wall portion corresponding to a thickness of the outer rack, and the outer rack is formed in a substantially thin C cross sectional shape. It is possible to make a thickness of a slide mechanism about a gear with of rack gears lined up in an axial direction in the side surface wall portion by making the width of the side surface wall portion slightly larger than the gear width of the rack gear.

Abstract: An appearance of a vehicle is improved by reducing an opening formed in an interior trim for vehicle. An actuator unit is mounted in a pillar of the vehicle, and a linking rod is linked to a rack bar, which linearly reciprocates along an axial direction provided at this actuator unit. This linking rod protrudes from the pillar through the opening formed in an interior trim, and the other end thereof is linked to a back door. Moreover, this actuator unit is disposed so that a moving direction of the rack bar inclines on a vehicle-rear side by an opening/closing inclination angle &agr; with respect to a direction perpendicular to the vehicle and inclines inward in a vehicle-width direction by a width inclination angle.

Abstract: The invention improves accuracy of engagement of a pinion and a rack with each other in an automatic opening/closing device for a vehicle. In the automatic opening/closing device for the vehicle and for automatically opening and closing an opening/closing member provided to a vehicle body, the device includes a motor for generating a driving force for driving a pinion for rotation, a sliding member having a rack engaged with the pinion, and a rail member for positioning the sliding member and for guiding the sliding member in a predetermined direction. The sliding member and the opening/closing member are connected through a connecting rod. A base member is integrally formed with a motor fixing portion and a rail fixing portion. The motor and the rail member are fixed to the base member. As a result, it is easy to improve accuracy of positioning of the pinion and the rack and to improve accuracy of engagement of the pinion and the rack with each other.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing chip type electronic parts, comprises the steps of: applying a photo-active catalyst liquid to chip substrates to form a photo-sensitive film consisting of the photo-active catalyst liquid on the chip substrates; arranging the chip substrates with respect to a light source in a manner such that portions of the chip substrates on which electrodes are to be formed will become light irradiation portions; irradiating the chip substrates with a light so as to activate irradiated portions of the photo-sensitive film; dipping the chip substrates in an electroless plating bath and precipitating a plating metal on said activated portions.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber product-treating agent which can impart an excellent wrinkle-resistant effect and an excellent durable press effect to the fiber product capable of being heated and being hardly effected with not only during wearing but also after washing. That is, the present invention provides the treating agent for imparting the durable press configuration on a fiber product by a heating treatment with e.g. an iron, which comprises a specific amount of (i) two or more compounds forming mutually a crosslinked structure by heating and/or (ii) a compound forming a self-crosslinked structure by heating, and water, wherein the content of a nonvolatile matter is 0.01 to 30%.

Abstract: An electroless copper plating bath containing a cupric compound, a cupric ion complexing agent, a reducing agent, and a pH adjusting agent is provided, in which a carboxylic acid is added as a reaction accelerator to accelerate the oxidation reaction of the reducing agent. It does not need to use formaldehyde as the reducing agent yet it has a plating reaction velocity which is equivalent to that of a bath in which formaldehyde is contained as the reducing agent.

Abstract: A substrate processing apparatus has a plurality of processing chamber groups including at least one processing chamber group of a plurality of processing chambers for identically processing substrates concurrently therein, and a substrate feeder for feeding substrates to each of the processing chamber groups. A value calculated by dividing times required to process substrates in the processing chambers and times required to feed substrates to the processing chambers, by the number of the processing chambers is set to a tact time, and substrates are loaded into the substrate processing apparatus at intervals of the tact time. A time equal to or greater than a time required for the substrate feeder to perform a feed job is established as a feed slot, and a plurality of feed slots are established in the tact time. Substrates are loaded into the substrate processing apparatus with the substrate feeder in timed relation to the feed slots.
