Abstract: Cellular phones (1a, 1b) adjust the brightness of an image before sending mail with an attached photograph, so that it is possible to visually verify the mail text when the mail text is overlaid over the image, which serves as a background image attached to the mail text at the receiving side, after which the mail is send to a system (in particular, to mail servers (33) and (63)). The color of mail text characters is changed in responsive to the image brightness. When the cellular phones (1a, 1b) receive an e-mail with an attached photograph, they display the mail text overlaid over the image as a background image (which has had its brightness adjusted).

Abstract: A vehicle having a suspension fitting structure that includes a cross member which extends between left and right side frame members and supports the suspension device on each end thereof, and a plurality fitting brackets secured to the side frame member for fitting both of the cross member and a suspension arm to the side frame member. The fitting brackets are arranged in the lengthwise direction at appropriate separations in such a way that the fitting brackets are formed lower in structural rigidity in order front to rear and/or that a forward one of the fitting brackets is formed smaller in size than a rearward one.

Abstract: In a radio paging receiver equipped with an auto-dialing function, there are provided a message data receiver; a message data memory; a message data readout unit; a message data display unit; and a selecting unit for selecting a telephone number portion contained in the message data. Then, the data selected by the selecting unit is converted into a corresponding dialing tone signal, whereby a desired display tone is automatically generated and input to a telephone handset.

Abstract: A paging receiver includes a receiver main body and a card-like ROM. The receiver main body includes a receiver circuit for receiving a paging signal, reception controllers for ON/OFF-containing the receiving circuit on the basis of reception control data, address comparators for checking whether a calling signal received in accordance with a reception control signal is assigned to the receiver, a CPU for fetching a message following the calling signal determined to be assigned to the receiver by the address comparators, a message memory for storing a received message, and a display for displaying the message stored in the message memory. The card-like ROM is detachably mounted in the receiver main body, stores at least a part of the reception control data, and supplies the reception control data stored therein to at least one of the reception controller and the address comparator while it is mounted in the receiver main body.

Abstract: A four-wheel steering system has a front wheel turning mechanism for turning front wheels in response to operation of a steering wheel, a rear wheel turning mechanism for turning rear wheels, a controller for controlling the rear wheel turning mechanism to turn the rear wheels according to preset four-wheel steering characteristics and a relay shaft which is connected to the controller to transmit turning of the front wheels to the controller. The front wheel turning mechanism and the rear wheel turning mechanism are caused to bring the front wheels and the rear wheels to the respective straight-ahead positions while the relay shaft is disconnected from the controller. Then the controller is brought into the state corresponding to the straight-ahead positions of the front and rear wheels on the basis of the preset four-wheel steering characteristics. Thereafter, the relay shaft is connected to the controller.

Abstract: A four-wheel steering system for a vehicle in which the rear wheels of a vehicle are turned in response to the turning of the front wheels of the vehicle upon operation of a steering wheel. The rear wheel steering is derived from the front wheel steering by way of a transmission shaft. The transmission shaft is supported rotatably and for sliding movement in the axial direction by way of a bearing fixed on the vehicle body. A stopper ring is fixed on the transmission shaft a short distance forward from the bearing to limit the backward sliding of the transmission shaft.

Abstract: An improved vehicle suspension system of the double wishbone type including an A-type suspension lower arm which has different strength at different portions thereof suitable for sharing the loads imposed thereon so as to reduce the overall weight thereof. The suspension lower arm, which has a ball-joint mounting portion, is pivotally attached at its front and rear mounting portions to the body of a vehicle for vertical swinging movement and is comprised of a first arm member and a second arm member respectively formed by bending a plate material. The first arm member extends rearwardly from the front mounting portion and the second arm member extends forwardly from the rear mounting portion so that they are superimposed on and secured as by welding to each other at a location near the ball-joint mounting portion. The first and second arm members each have an upper wall and a pair of opposite side walls.
