Abstract:
Each of vibration dampers is separated from each circumferentially adjacent one of the vibration dampers upon cutting of each of a plurality of connectors, which is initially integrally formed with the vibration dampers to circumferentially join between corresponding circumferentially adjacent two of the vibration dampers to form a single closed loop body. At least a part of each of first and second circumferential end portions of each vibration damper is engaged with a corresponding one of outer protrusions of a centerpiece in a circumferential direction of a stator. A primary recess is radially inwardly recessed at an outer peripheral portion of the vibration damper and is engaged with a corresponding one of primary protrusions of the stator in the circumferential direction of the stator.
Abstract:
In a turning control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a turning controller places a limitation on an automatic deceleration of the vehicle which is started when a turning state of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined deceleration-start threshold value that has a margin for a limit value of turning performance of the vehicle, in such a manner that the turning state of the vehicle approaches to the limit of turning performance of the vehicle in accordance with an accelerator manipulation by a driver. In the case where the driver erroneously manipulates an accelerator pedal, the limitation on the automatic deceleration is suspended.
Abstract:
In brake control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a cornering stability control section is configured to start a provision of the braking force for the vehicle when a cornering limit estimating section estimates that a cornering state variable of the vehicle (Vp) is in excess of the braking operation threshold value (kVLp) after the predetermined delay time (Δt) is elapsed from a present time.

Disclosed is an organic EL display device which includes a light emitter; a current controller controlling a current to be fed to the light emitter; a current detector detecting a value of current flowing through the light emitter as a voltage; a first switching unit switching between transmission and non-transmission of a voltage value corresponding to the detected current; a comparison amplifier comparing and amplifying the voltage value transmitted from the first switching unit to a voltage value corresponding to the image signal; a second switching unit switching between transmission and non-transmission of the voltage value being a result of the comparison and amplification; and an image signal holding capacitor charged/discharged based on the voltage value transmitted from the second switching unit, the current controller controlling the current to be fed to the light emitter based on a charging voltage of the image signal holding capacitor.
Abstract:
Provided is a biosensor that makes it possible to detect the electrical properties of a bio-related material contained in an analyte fluid such as an aqueous solution placed on a sensitive membrane and to observe the bio-related material at a high magnification with an observation device such as a microscope. The biosensor comprises: a substrate 10, a transparent semiconductor film 20 laminated on the substrate 10, a source electrode 30a and a drain electrode 30b formed at both ends of the transparent semiconductor film 20, an insulating film 40 laminated so as to cover the transparent semiconductor film 20 and the source electrode 30a and the drain electrodes 30b, a sensitive membrane 50 laminated on the insulating film 40, and a partition 60 that is formed at both ends of the sensitive membrane 50 to retain an analyte fluid 100, such as an aqueous solution or liquid culture containing a sample, on the sensitive membrane 50 and to retain the analyte fluid 100 in a specific region so that the bio-related material 200 can be placed on the sensitive membrane 50.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes: an element that receives subject light from a subject to generate image data; a section that generates a recording image to be recorded on a recording medium from the image data when a first mode is set; a section that generates a second display image, which allows display of a live-view image, from the image data when a second mode is set, and that generates a first display image, which allows display of an image identical to the recording image, from the image data when the first mode is set; a section that sequentially displays the first display image or the second display image; a section that detects a specific state of the apparatus that obstructs recording of an imaging object onto the recording image; and a section that controls switching between the first mode and the second mode on the basis of the detection results.

Abstract:
Data stored in a plurality of snapshots that can be updated is efficiently updated.A computer system includes a computer that provides a plurality of storage areas and a storage device that stores data read and written in the storage areas. The storage device provides a first volume that stores data shared by the storage areas respectively and a second volume that stores data held in the storage areas respectively. The computer stores storage area management information and a storing flag that shows a storing part of updated data and sets the storing flag in accordance with a request. When the computer receives the update of the data stored in the first volume and the storing flag is set to the second volume, if a second area corresponding to a first area is not allocated to the second volume, the computer updates a second area newly allocated to the second volume to store the location information of the newly allocated second area in the storage area management information correspondingly to the first area.
