A flap opening and closing mechanism includes a flap and a lock member. The flap includes a first engagement member, and is pivotally supported on a vehicle body side. The flap opens and closes an opening in an outer plate of a vehicle body. The lock member locks the flap. The lock member includes a body to be mounted on the vehicle body side, a swing member pivotally supported on the body, a second engagement member, and an adjustor. The second engagement member is engaged with the first engagement member, and provided in the swing member. The adjustor allows for a rotational movement of the body about a rotation shaft of the swing member to the vehicle body in a state where the body is temporarily fixed to the vehicle body side. The lock member locks the swing member at a position corresponding to the closing position of the flap.

A motor vehicle includes side sills that are disposed in pairs on the right and left sides of the motor vehicle and that has bag-shaped cross-sections when viewed from the front of the motor vehicle and a floor panel that constitutes bottoms of at least a passenger compartment and that is coupled to the side sills. The motor vehicle further includes a battery panel that is disposed below the floor panel so as to support batteries and that is coupled to the side sills and a battery movement allowance mechanism that allows movement of the batteries toward the inside of the side sills when the batteries are moved to one side in a vehicle-width direction and, consequently, a load from the batteries is applied to the side sills.

Provided is a stock oil composition for a carbonaceous material for a negative electrode of a lithium-ion secondary battery which composition is useful for achieving excellent high-speed charge and discharge characteristics. The stock oil composition for a carbonaceous material for a negative electrode of a lithium-ion secondary battery uses a bottom oil of residue fluid catalytic cracking apparatus as a raw material. The stock oil composition comprises, of a saturated component, an aromatic component, a resin component and an asphaltene component detectable by development of the stock oil composition using thin-layer chromatography, the saturated component ranging from 30 to 50% by weight and the aromatic component ranging from 50 to 70% by weight; and has an average molecular weight of from 400 to 600.

There is provided a vehicle hood moving device for a vehicle having a hood movably supported at a vehicle body front. The hood moving device includes a first magnet disposed in the hood, a second magnet provided to the inside of an engine room and disposed so as to face the first magnet, a collision detecting sensor to detect that a pedestrian collides with the vehicle, and a collision predicting device to detect whether or not a pedestrian has a danger of colliding with the vehicle. When detection is made with these sensors and predicting device that a pedestrian has collided with the vehicle or has a danger of colliding with the vehicle, the hood is moved as to the vehicle body by magnetic force of the first magnet and second magnet. The second magnet is an electromagnet, and the first magnet is a permanent magnet.

Disclosed is a communication system which improves the system flexibility and serviceability by efficiently controlling presence information. A presence inquiring section makes an inquiry about a presence state of a communicating party. A presence information receiving section receives presence information. A presence information display section displays the received presence information. A presence determining section determines the presence state. A presence information generating section generates the presence information. A presence information sending section sends the presence information upon reception of the inquiry.

Communication system

A vertical wall formed by bending a front fender toward an engine room is connected with a front wheel apron through a supporting bracket. The supporting bracket is shaped into a U-channel configuration opening downwardly. In which, a front fender side vertical wall is formed on the front fender and an engine room side vertical wall is formed on the engine room side in such a manner as partitioning the front fender side vertical wall off. The front fender side vertical wall is secured at a lower end thereof to the front wheel apron. When an impact load is applied from above the neighborhood of the boundary between the front fender and engine room, a middle section shaped into arch of the front fender side vertical wall and a hole section provided on the front fender side vertical wall collapse to absorb the impact energy.

Front body structure for vehicle

A card connector comprises a case ( ) for retaining a detachable card ( ), a cam member ( ) provided in a side wall ( ) of the case ( ) and having an engaging portion ( ), an ejector ( ) biased forwardly in the removal direction of the card ( ) and being slidable together with the card ( ) along the side wall ( ), a pin member ( ) supported by the ejector ( ) so as to operate along the cam member ( ), a pin control ( ) provided on the ejector ( ) for biasing the pin member ( ) toward the cam member to restrict movement of the pin member ( ), wherein when the card ( ) is inserted into the case ( ) to a predetermined position, the pin member ( ) engages the engaging portion ( ) of the cam member ( ) and the pin control ( ) biases the pin member ( ) toward the cam member ( ) thereby securing engagement between the pin member ( ) and the engaging portion ( ).

Card connector having cam and pin members for securing a card

An eject lever 8 has a pressing piece 14 which is bent so as to be in parallel with the card surface; the plate thickness surface of the pressing piece forms a pressing surface to be contacted with the eject lever; the plate thickness surface of a part of the eject lever 12 provides a pressed piece 16 having a pressed surface which can be contacted with the pressing surface; and by the pressed surface, the pressing force from the pressing surface is received as a force to turn the eject lever.

Electric connector for card

A floating electrical connector includes a frame-like fixed housing (1) to be secured to a circuit board; a floating housing (2) provided in the fixed housing such that a bottom face of the floating housing is disposed on or near a surface of the circuit board, it is movable relative to the fixed housing in a plane parallel to the circuit board, and that between the fixed and floating housings there is provided a floating space (4) in which the flexible sections are flexed; a plurality of contact elements (3) attached to both the fixed housing and the floating housing and having connection sections (3A1) provided on a side of the fixed housing to be connected to conductors of the circuit board, contact sections (3C) provided on a side of the floating housing for contact with contact elements of a mating connector, flexible sections (Q) provided between the connection and contact sections to make the floating housing movable; and a receiving cavity (2F) provided in the floating housing to receive the mating connector.

Floating electrical connector

A carbon exchanging system for a carbon-arc weather resistance testing apparatus having a carbon drive system including a reversible motor for automatically moving upper and lower arc producing carbons toward and away from each other along a vertical line for keeping the discharge current and voltage substantially constant. The carbon exchanging system has remotely operable upper and lower carbon chucks for holding the upper and lower carbons, a carbon replacing device having a remotely operable exchanging chuck and a drive for moving the exchanging chuck along a path of movement toward and away from the upper and lower carbon chucks when they are in position on the vertical line, a shifting device for shifting the carbon drive system and the carbon replacing means relative to each other for moving the upper and lower chucks and the exchanging chuck laterally relative to the vertical line, a carbon supply adjacent the path of movement of the exchanging chuck for holding replacement carbons and moving them into position opposite a position of the exchanging chuck along the path, and a moving device for moving the exchanging chuck and the carbon supply relative to each other in a direction toward and away from each other. The system can also include a control device for automatically controlling the operation thereof.
