Inventor: NOBUCHIKA HIDEO
IPC: B29D30/00
Filed: 2007-10-04
Abstract: A method for manufacturing a pneumatic tire with a noise damper on the inside of the tread portion, comprises the steps of: building a raw tire on an annular tire building core; placing the raw tire within a vulcanizing mold together with the core; and heating the raw tire in the mold. The tire building core has a molding face for molding an inner surface of the tread portion. The molding face is provided with a groove extending in the tire circumferential direction. In the step of building the raw tire, an expandable damper material is placed in the groove. During heating the raw tire to be vulcanized, the damper material expands in the groove, whereby the expanded material forms the noise damper integrated into the radially inside of the tread portion.

Abstract: A toy (1 & 1A) is equipped with an exterior structure, constructed in such a way that it transforms from a rollable first shape to a second shape, and an interior structure contained with the interior of this exterior structure. The said exterior structure is endowed with a transformation means (30, 31, 32) that transforms an exterior locking portion (5c, 7c & 5Aa) and the exterior structure from the first shape to the second shape. The interior structure is endowed with a magnetic body (11 & 9a) that moves by means of a magnetic force that acts from the exterior of the said toy, an interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) that moves simultaneously with the movement of this magnetic body (11 & 9a), and a biasing means (12 & 11A) that effects a force which moves or turns this interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) in a particular direction. In the event that a magnetic force does not act from the exterior of the said toy, a locked state of the interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) which moved or turned in a particular direction by means of the force of the biasing means (12 & 11A), and the said exterior locking portion (5c, 7c & 5Aa) is realized, and the first shape of the exterior structure is thereby maintained. In the event that a magnetic force has acted from the exterior of the said toy, the said magnetic body (11 & 9a) and the said interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) resist the force of the said biasing means (12 & 11A) and move or turn, the locked state of the said interior locking portion (10c & 10Ac) and the said exterior locking portion (5c, 7c & 5Aa) is thereby released, and the exterior structure thereby transforms from the first shape to the second shape by means of the transformation means.

Abstract: A change in a magnetic resistance generated between a plurality of windows 23a of a cylindrical member 23 formed by a nonmagnetic material and an output shaft 2 formed by a magnetic material through a torsion of a torsion bar 22 is regarded to be a change in inductances of detecting coils 15p and 15q to detect a steering torque. Coil yokes 16P and 16Q accommodating the detecting coils therein are disposed coaxially on an outer periphery of the cylindrical member 23, and L-shaped bent tip portions of output terminals 15a1 and 15a2 of the detecting coils are inserted into a through hole 18 of a circuit board of a control module CM. The coil yokes 16P and 16Q can easily be attached to a gear box with a rotation and the tip of the output terminal can be arranged with high precision. Terminal holding portions 16P1 and 16Q1 are provided on an inside of a moving track (a circular arc S) so that an interference with other components can be prevented. 
     Moreover, the circuit board of the control module CM is disposed perpendicularly to a direction of shaft centers of an input shaft and an output shaft. An output terminal 215a of a detecting coil 215 of a torque sensor has a tip portion bent to take an L shape and formed perpendicularly to the through hole 18 of the circuit board of the control module CM. Therefore, the detecting coil and the control module can be directly connected easily. When a gear box mounting the control module CM thereon is to be disposed in a small engine room, a space efficiency can be increased and a shock absorbing stroke of a shock absorbing mechanism can be maintained sufficiently. A round pin having a round section is used for the output terminal 215a of the detecting coil 215, and the tip portion is bent with high precision by utilizing a bending punch and a die.

Abstract: Affichage réfléchissant comportant une pluralité d'hémisphères transparents (60), comportant chacun une région réfléchissante (80) entourant une région non réfléchissante (82). Des ions absorbant la lumière chargés électrostatiquement sont dissous dans un milieu électrophorétique (20) maintenu en position adjacente aux hémisphères. Une tension appliquée au milieu provoque la migration d'un grand nombre d'ions dans une région d'ondes évanescentes adjacente aux hémisphères dans laquelle les ions absorbent la lumière en perturbant ainsi la réflexion interne totale au niveau des régions réfléchissantes. Les ions présents dans la région d'ondes évanescentes absorbent également la lumière qui ne subit pas une réflexion interne totale et qui serait sinon transmise à travers les régions non réfléchissantes. Une tension opposée appliquée au milieu provoque la migration d'un grand nombre d'ions à l'écart des hémisphères en permettant ainsi à la lumière de subir une réflexion interne totale au niveau des régions réfléchissantes. Il est possible d'intensifier la luminosité de l'affichage en utilisant une électrode postérieure (48) présentant des régions réfléchissantes (108 ; 110, 112) servant à réfléchir à travers les hémisphères la lumière qui traverse les régions non réfléchissantes et vient frapper l'électrode postérieure.
