Abstract: There are provided view adjustment areas respectively at an upper edge part, a lower edge part, and right-and-left side edge parts of a windshield glass, wherein the view adjustment areas are configured to be respectively switchable between in a transparent state in which forward visibility is ensured and in a translucent or non-transparent state in which the forward visibility is limited (for example, adhesion of a liquid-crystal film). Thereby, the size or the shape of the window-frame structure of the windshield glass which is physically unchangeable can be visually changed.

Abstract: An information display system for a vehicle includes: a display for displaying, an operation screen for operating at least one piece of in-vehicle equipment; a first operation section including a leftward moving switch, a rightward moving switch, and a selection enter switch capable of being manipulated upward and downward and being pushed; and a controller. The controller changes a position of the operation menu selected point in the operation menus horizontally arranged on the operation screen for selecting any one of the operation menus in response to a manipulation signal from the leftward moving switch or the rightward moving switch and executes an operation relating to the selected operation menu in response to an upward or downward manipulation signal from the selection enter switch.

Abstract: An egress-start determining device determines a start of egress of a passenger seated in a seat of a vehicle. A completion determining device determines completion of a driver's head moving out of a door opening of the vehicle after the start of egress of the passenger. A seat-sitting-face height adjusting device adjusts a height of a sitting face of the seat in such a manner that the height is adjusted to a first height during a time from the start of egress of the passenger to the completion of the driver's head moving out of the door opening of the vehicle, and the height is adjusted to a second height after the completion of the driver's head moving out of the door opening of the vehicle.

Abstract: A steering apparatus for a vehicle, which can reduce the steering load and allows accurate steering angle control, is provided. In the steering apparatus for a vehicle, an estimation unit estimates a mechanical impedance upon a driver's steering manipulation. A control unit controls the steering reaction force of a steering wheel based on the estimated mechanical impedance.

Abstract: While gas in a general storage container with no gas inlet and in the storage container with the gas inlet is replaced in a short time, the semiconductor wafer surface is cleaned. In an apparatus for replacing gas in a semiconductor wafer storage container which includes a lid unit and a storage container main body with a gas inlet, the apparatus includes gas introducing means for introducing the gas into the storage container main body, gas evacuating means for evacuating the gas in the storage container main body, and gas circulating means for circulating the gas in the storage container main body through a chemical adsorption filter. Gas introducing means for introducing the gas from a gap between the storage container main body and the lid unit while the lid unit is opened in the storage container mounting means is provided in the storage container with no gas inlet.

Abstract: There are provided a first monitor with a first display indicating visual information, a second monitor with a second display indicating operation information for operating the visual information of the first display, an operation detecting device to detect a passenger's operation to the operation information of the second display, an indication control device to control an indication state of the information on the first display based on an operation signal, and an assist control device to make the first display indicate the operation information and/or make the second display indicate the visual information according to a vehicle traveling state and/or the operation of the passenger. Accordingly, both the visibility and the operability can be properly improved, and two indication devices can be utilized variously.

Abstract: An on-vehicle information provision apparatus is provided that visually provides a vehicle occupant with an advertisement. The apparatus includes display condition setting device that sets predetermined display conditions for displaying the advertisement, condition determination device that determines whether or not the display condition applies, and advertisement display device that, when said display condition does apply, visually provides the occupant with the advertisement shown superimposed on an actual landscape being viewed by the occupant.

Abstract: This lubricant for a fluid dynamic bearing has a base oil containing a phosphate triester represented by a general formula (I) (wherein, RA, RB and RC respectively represent alkyl groups), wherein in the base oil, a phosphate triester in which the three alkyl groups in the general formula (I) are saturated hydrocarbon groups and number of carbon atoms of one of the three saturated hydrocarbon groups differs from number of carbon atoms of the other two saturated hydrocarbon groups is contained as a primary base oil.
