Abstract: This disclosure relates to a driving force adjusting device including a pair of electric motors (1) that drives left and right wheels (5) of a vehicle, a differential mechanism (3) that provides the left and right wheels (5) with a torque difference, and left and right drive shafts (4) that transmits driving force from the differential mechanism and to the left and right wheels (5), the driving force adjusting device having four elements and two degree of freedom. In this driving force adjusting device, inertia moments (JML,JMR) on paths from the pair of electric motors (1) to the left and right wheels (5) are set to values such that a resonance frequency (f) of the driving force adjusting device when the vehicle is turning comes to be larger than a yaw resonance frequency (fyaw) of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention is a resin component disposed in a path of a beam emitted from a radar equipment, the resin component consisting of a thermoplastic resin composition containing at least one thermoplastic resin selected from a group consisting of a rubbery polymer-reinforced vinyl-based resin wherein a polymer part derived from a rubbery polymer and a vinyl-based resin part containing a structural unit derived from a vinyl-based monomer are chemically bonded, a polyolefin resin, and a polycarbonate resin, and having a dielectric constant of 2.9 or less, and a mold shrinkage rate of 1.2% or less as measured in accordance with JIS K 7152-4. This resin component can be used as a radome and may constitute part of a radar device.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a wiper apparatus reduced in the number of parts. A wiper apparatus 40A has: a drive mechanism 13 for driving a wiper 12 for wiping a front windshield of a vehicle; a gear case 17 in which the drive mechanism 13 is housed, and which is fixed to a vehicle body, wherein the wiper apparatus 40A has: a fixing part 35 provided in the gear case 17 and fixed to the vehicle body; and a fixing part 36 provided in the gear case 17 and fixed to the vehicle body at a position different from a fixed position of the fixing part 35 in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display panel; a panel holder having a supporting portion that makes contact with an end surface of a lower side of the display panel so as to support the display panel; and a vibrating unit provided under the supporting portion so as to apply vibration to a portion, which is in contact with the supporting portion, of the end surface of the lower side of the display panel. A method of controlling the display apparatus includes: controlling the vibrating unit; and determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, wherein the controlling involves causing the vibrating unit to vibrate when the predetermined condition is satisfied.

Abstract: A method of forming a ridge around the outer circumference of a spigot formed at an end of a pipe. A ring having a certain wall thickness in its radial direction and formed with a peripheral groove on its outer circumference is placed around the outer circumference of the spigot. Then molten metal is poured into the peripheral groove, so that the bottom of the peripheral groove and the surface of the spigot are melted, thus joining the ring and spigot together.
