Abstract:
When a signature is registered, a signature in Japanese characters, for example, ‘’ (‘Fujitsu’), or a signature in English characters, for example, ‘Fujitsu’ is input n times through an input device of an input equipment of a signature authentication system, and each element of the shape of handwriting, writing speed, writing acceleration, and writing pressure is computed. A combination of nC2 is set for each element of the data input n times, the reciprocal of each similarity is obtained, an average value of the similarity is computed for each element, a weight is determined for each similarity from the average value, a weighted average value of the four elements is computed and defined as the total similarity of the registered signature. In an authenticating process, signature data to be compared is input/output m times. In the same method, the total similarity of a signature to be compared is obtained.

Abstract:
A bearing vibration measuring apparatus is an apparatus of measuring vibration of a bearing. The bearing vibration measuring apparatus detects a vibration component generated from the bearing in a state of pressing one of an inner ring and an outer ring of the bearing in an axial direction while relatively rotating other of the inner ring and the outer ring to detect a defect of the bearing based on the vibration component. The bearing vibration measuring apparatus includes a driving mechanism elongated and contracted for inclining the inner ring or the outer ring.

Abstract:
System for detecting stability/instability of behavior of a motor vehicle upon occurrence of tire slip or lock. State of the motor vehicle is determined on the basis of an alignment torque (Ta) applied from a road and a side slip angle (β). By taking advantage of such torque/slip-angle characteristic that although the alignment torque is proportional to a side slip angle when the latter is small, the alignment torque becomes smaller as the side slip angle increases, a normal value is determined from a straight line slope and the side slip angle in a region where the latter is small. Unstable behavior of the motor vehicle is determined when deviation of actual measured value from the normal value increases. Further, unstable state is determined when the slope of the alignment torque for the slip angle departs significantly from that of approximate straight line slope.

Mesophase pitch-based activated carbon fibers which are obtained by milling infusibilized mesophase pitch fibers, as they are or after carbonizing at a temperature of 350 to 1,000.degree. C., to an average particle diameter of 5 to 50 .mu.m and then activating in the presence of an alkali metal compound. The activated carbon fibers have a pore distribution suitable for forming a electric double layer and is excellent as the material for an electrode of an electric double layer capacitor. The electric double layer capacitor having the electrode using the activated carbon fiber exhibits high discharge capacity.
Abstract:
A vehicle body panel having a honeycomb sandwich structure in which a honeycomb core is sandwiched between a first and a second plate includes a subhoneycomb panel formed by adhering the first plate to one major surface of the honeycomb core beforehand. The subhoneycomb panel is pressed against the second plate which is constituted by a part of a structural panel of a vehicle body with the intermediary of an adhesive layer, the other major surface of the honeycomb core being adhered to the second plate. The connection of the subhoneycomb panel to the second plate is performed after the structural panel has been connected to a strength member of the vehicle body, e. g. after a washing stage. Such a vehicle body panel with a honeycomb sandwich structure is achievable without resorting to any substantial modification of an existing vehicle body assembly line.

A spherical annular seal having a through hole in a center thereof and a partially convex spherical surface portion on an outer surface thereof, wherein an inner peripheral surface of the spherical annular seal defining the through hole is reinforced by a reinforcing member formed of a metal mesh, and a uniform lubricating sliding layer of a lubricating composition containing 70 to 90 wt. % of boron nitride and 10 to 30 wt. % of alumina is formed on a surface of the partially convex spherical surface portion.
Abstract:
There is disclosed a process for producing pitch-based carbon fiber which comprises melt spinning an optically isotropic pitch or a mesophase pitch to form pitch fiber; subjecting the pitch fiber to liquid-phase oxidative polymerization in a solvent in the presence of an acid catalyst and a crosslinking agent to form infusibilized fiber; and carbonizing the infusiblized fiber. The above process enables low temperature and short time infusibilizing treatment of optically isotropic pitch fiber having a low softening point which has heretofore been difficult because of failure to preserve the original fibrous shape during infusibilization, and also efficient production of mesophase pitch-based carbon fibers as well as optically isotropic pitch-based carbon fibers each being improved in physical properties.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a vehicle-mounted communication device that carries out radio communications with a communication device for pedestrians which is carried by a pedestrian, the vehicle-mounted communication device including: a receiver that receives pedestrian information showing whether the pedestrian belongs to a pedestrian group formed of the pedestrian and a plurality of pedestrians in the vicinity of the pedestrian from the communication device for pedestrians; a controller that judges the pedestrian information received by the receiver and issues a command to present pedestrian attention information when the pedestrian information shows that the pedestrian does not belong to a pedestrian group; and an information outputter that presents the pedestrian attention information according to the command from the controller. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted communication device enables the driver to certainly recognize the existence of a pedestrian not belonging to a pedestrian group.
