Abstract: A vehicle body end section structure is obtained that enables a spacer member that transmits load to a framework member in a small overlap collision to be suppressed from impinging on a wheel in a minor collision. The vehicle body end section structure comprises a pair of left and right framework members, a bumper framework section connected to leading end portions of the pair of framework members, and a spacer member that projects out from a jutting-out portion of the bumper framework section toward a framework member side. The spacer member is disposed such that a rotation trajectory of the spacer member about a connection location between the bumper framework section and the framework member, the connection location is positioned on an opposite side in the vehicle width direction of the spacer member, does not impinge on a wheel in plan view.

Abstract: A side impact absorbing apparatus for a vehicle includes an impact bar, an impact absorbing member that has a portion which overlaps the impact bar, and a side airbag. The impact absorbing member has a first portion to which a load is applied from the deployed side airbag, and a second portion which is a portion of the impact absorbing member other than the first portion. The first portion is smaller in thickness at least at a connection portion that is connected to the second portion than a portion of the second portion, which is connected to the first portion from below the first portion.

Abstract: An electrical connecting member is provided with a holding member made of an electric insulating material and a plurality of conductive members held by the holding member in a state of being insulated with each other. One end of each of the conductive members is exposed on one surface of the holding member and the other end of each of the conductive members is exposed on the other surface of the holding member. The conductive members have portions exposed from the holding member, the length of which is longer than the thickness of the holding member. These exposed portions are easily deformed by the pressure force exerted at the time of connecting electric circuit components to reduce the coupling load even when there is irregularity in the heights thereof or unevenness in the junctions of the objects connection, hence enabling high density connections between the electric circuit components. The exposed portions can also be formed to have empty holes, i.e.

The electroconductive members are mutually insulated from each other and one end of each of the electroconductive members is exposed at one surface of the holding member and the other end is exposed at another surface of the holding member. A holding member is formed by forming a layer on a base member with the holding member having a photosensitive resin on the uppermost surface of the layer. The holding member is exposed and developed by forming a plurality of holes through the holding member, thereby exposing the uppermost surface of the layer. A part of the exposed layer is etched away and the holes on the holding member are filled with an electroconductive member. The remaining layer and base member are then removed.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the particle size distribution of particles in a mass of a granular substance. The particles are caused to fall in a stream of separate particles past an irradiated screen, and an instantaneous television picture is taken of the particles and the projected images of the particles are used to measure the projected areas of the particles. Using these areas assuming the average shape of the particles to be substantially a rotational ellipsoid and using a coefficient according to the average configuration of the particles, the particle sizes and their distribution in the mass of particles are calculated.
