Abstract: A strobe device and its flashing method for use with an electronic camera of the present invention are such that a preliminary flashlight to set the amount of light of the main flashing is received by a CCD 1, the amount of light of the main flashing is set on the basis of the signal from the CCD 1, the time interval between the preliminary flashing and the main flashing is set to a time that prevents the photographer from recognizing fluctuations in the luminance, and when the interval has exceeded the time, more than one flashing that has nothing to do with the setting of the amount of light of the main flashing is done between the preliminary flashing and the main flashing, thereby preventing the flicker of flashing that gives a sense of incongruity to the photographer.

Abstract: A metallic printed board is formed by laminating an insulation layer on the surface of a metallic sheet as a base, and then electronic parts are mounted on the conductor pattern formed on the surface of the insulation layer. A double-sided printed board mounted thereon electronic parts is placed in parallel. Both the printed boards are supported and fixed monolithically by filling the space between the printed boards with an insulation resin and curing the resin. Furthermore, an insulation resin is laminated on the surface of the printed board in such a manner that the resin may cover the mounted electronic parts, and cured. The heat generated from the electronic parts can be efficiently transmitted to the insulation resins by using a resin having a high thermal conductivity for both of the insulation resins, and the heat is then emitted from the surfaces of the metallic sheet or the insulation resin.

Abstract: A method of determining a pitch arrangement of a tire, to design and develop a tire efficiently. An initial value of the pitch arrangement is determined corresponding to a set value. A model of a noise pulse generated in each pitch of the tire, the objective function representing a physical amount for evaluating noise performance of the tire, a design variable for determining the pitch arrangement, and a constraint for constraining the pitch arrangement are determined for the initial value, and the pitch arrangement whose objective function converges and is minimized is determined while satisfying a constraint by varying a design variable. A pitch ratio whose value of the objective function is minimized is determined by fluctuating of the pitch ratio while the first and the last pitch ratio are fixed among determined pitch arrangements. The pitch arrangement and the pitch ratio whose value of the objective functions are minimized are selected among the pitch arrangements for a hundred initial values.

Abstract: A method of designing a pneumatic tire, wherein a basic model of a tire representing a cross-sectional shape of the tire including an internal structure, an objective function representing a physical amount for evaluating tire performance, a design variable for determining the cross-sectional shape of the tire, and a constraint for constraining the cross-sectional shape of the tire are determined. A corrected model of the tire with the design variable changed by a unit amount .theta.r.sub.i is determined. The value of the objective function and the value of the constraint in the corrected model are calculated. A sensitivity is calculated for each design variable, and an estimated value of the amount of change of the design variable which maximizes the value of the objective function while taking the constraint is calculated by means of the sensitivities. The above process is repeated until the value of the objective function converges.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire having an outer surface of a tread portion divided into a tread pattern by grooves, in which each of the grooves has an intersect portion and an angle of an island portion surrounded by said intersect portion is different from that of another part at the same island portion. In such a tire, running performances on dry road are improved by making a distance in radial direction from an outer surface of the tread portion to a bottom of the groove at the intersect portion larger as the angle becomes smaller.

Abstract: A prepreg tape is firstly prepared by bonding prepreg layer to a backing paper and then the prepreg tape is cut to a depth enough to cut the prepreg tape but not the backing paper. A unnecessary portion of the prepreg tape is removed from the backing paper to obtain a cut prepreg tape. A laminating attachment is moved in a predetermined direction while urging the prepreg tape against the surface of an operating table. The cut prepreg tape is peeled off from the backing paper and the peeled off prepreg tape is bonded to the operating table. The cut prepreg tapes are successively oriented in a predetermined direction and juxtaposed to form a laminated sheet. When the sheet is mounted on a mold of a predetermined shape. When the impregnated thermosetting resin is perfectly cured under heat and pressure a product useful for assembling various vehicles can be obtained.

Abstract: Apparatus for adjusting a camera electric circuit employs a non-volatile memory element for electrically storing and reading data, takes out digitized compensation data from the non-volatile memory element during a digital calculation process, and, after the calculation including the compensation data, controls an exposure control or an exposure display circuit of the camera in accordance with the calculated output, thereby dispensing with conventional analog adjustment. The compensation data may be obtained through the use of a test instrument by comparing test results against results obtained by the camera calculator or through the use of comparing a previously standarized shutter speed with the shutter speed determined by the camera calculator. The compensation value can be used to provide a corrected display. A separate compensation value for an aperture deviation can also be stored. The stored data is retained unchanged by removal of a jumper control.
