Abstract: A graft copolymer (B) produced by graft polymerization of a vinyl monomer mixture (m1) including an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester onto a copolymer (A), the copolymer (A) being a copolymer of an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester (Aa) and a (meth)acrylate ester (Ab) including an aromatic hydrocarbon group. A thermoplastic resin composition including the graft copolymer (B), a copolymer (C) that is the product of a polymerization reaction of a vinyl monomer mixture (m2) including an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester, and a molded article produced by molding the thermoplastic resin composition. Provided are the graft copolymer with which a thermoplastic resin composition excellent in terms of transparency, impact resistance, weather resistance, and flowability may be produced, a thermoplastic resin composition including the graft copolymer, and the molded article produced by molding the thermoplastic resin composition.

Abstract: A thermoplastic resin composition including a graft copolymer (B) produced by graft polymerization of a vinyl monomer mixture (m1) including an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester, a vinyl cyanide compound, and an aromatic vinyl compound onto a copolymer (A) produced by copolymerizing an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester (a) and a (meth)acrylate ester (b) including an aromatic hydrocarbon group at a specific ratio and a copolymer (C) that is a product of a polymerization reaction of a vinyl monomer mixture (m2) including an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester. The graft copolymer (B) includes at least a graft copolymer (B) having a specific volume-average particle size. The copolymer (A) has a specific volume-average particle size and a specific particle size distribution.

Abstract: A fender front-side step portion has first and second fender front-side fixing portions that engage with and fasten a bumper spacer. The bumper spacer is provided with: a spacer body; a bumper-spacer reinforcing portion that extends toward a fender lower-end portion of a fender panel from the bottom end of the spacer body; and a bumper-spacer rear-side fixing portion which is disposed on the bumper-spacer reinforcing portion, and which overlaps with and fastens the front of the fender lower-end portion. The bumper-spacer rear-side fixing portion is disposed in a position further to the rear than the fender front-side step portion in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle.

Abstract: The storage unit of a peripheral device has a first storage area and a second storage area. The first storage area stores a plurality of control programs corresponding to a plurality of operating systems of different types. The second storage area is a storage area which is recognized by an information processing apparatus as an external storage device and in which at least one control program is replicated from the first storage area. The information processing apparatus reads out the control program from the second storage recognized by it as the external storage device, and executes the program. The information processing apparatus thus controls the peripheral device.

Abstract: A control program for using a peripheral apparatus is loaded from the peripheral apparatus to the memory of an information processing apparatus. A management program manages the display form of a control object based on execution of the control program. The control object displayed on the information processing apparatus can be switched between the non-display state and the display state. For example, the management program causes the information processing apparatus to execute return from the non-display state to the display state in synchronism with the user manipulation of the peripheral apparatus.
