An operation panel is provided with a plurality of operation buttons . A string-like resistor body is held in a resistor holding plate . The resistor body has a tube-like elastic outer resistor member , an inner resistor member loosely arranged within the outer resistor member and insulating spacers arranged between the inner resistor member and the outer resistor member at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the inner resistor member so that the inner periphery of the outer resistor member and outer periphery of the inner resistor member are constantly separated from each other. A control unit is provided to produce an operation signal.

An automotive display unit includes a display unit installed in an accommodating portion provided in a dashboard portion, a closing member for closing and/or opening an opening in the accommodating portion a driving mechanism provided with a motor for driving the closing member and a control unit, wherein the motor is a pulse motor with an encoder, whereby while referring to a pulse output from the pulse motor the control unit controls the driving of the motor so as to adjust an opening width of the closing member based on an opening or closing command inputted thereinto.

Automotive display device

A vehicle electronic control apparatus (,) includes an electronic control section (,) received in an accommodating cavity (,) in an instrument panel (,) in an automotive vehicle for controlling electronic equipments in the vehicle and a switch section (,) detachably attached to the electronic control section (,) for applying command signals to the electronic control section (,). The switch section (,) is provided with a communication function part (,) which serves as a local area network (LAN) manager so that the electronic control section (,) can control the electronic equipments. This construction enables an expensive electronic control section (,) to be used in common in different types of automotive vehicle regardless of presence or absence of the vehicle LAN. The switch section (,) having the communication function part (,) can utilize the vehicle LAN.

Vehicle electronic control apparatus

A control assembly for an automotive vehicle having an audio system and a climate control system, the control assembly having improved design characteristics, a reduced number of parts, and providing a reduced number of installation steps. The control assembly includes a control casing having a casing cover surface adapted to face an interior compartment of a vehicle and defining a plurality of openings therein, control elements adapted to produce operation signals for controlling the audio system and the climate control system, and an input-output section for receiving the operation signals and transmitting control signals for controlling the audio system and the climate control system. The input-output section is secured to the control casing so that the control elements are operably disposed on the cover surface through the openings. The casing cover, control elements and input-output section comprise an integral assembly that is easily installed in a production line of motor vehicles.

Control assembly for a vehicle and method of installation

A vehicle electronic apparatus (1) includes an electronic control section (2) received in an accommodation cavity (23) in an instrument panel (22) in a vehicle for effecting an electronic function in the vehicle, a switch section (3) detachably attached to the electronic control section (2) for controlling the electronic control section (2), and a cover panel (4) to be fitted in the accommodating cavity (23) in the instrument panel (22) to cover the switch section (3) at the front side. It is possible to use in common the electronic section (2) which is an expensive electronic element and also to design the cover panel (4) with flexibility. The switch section (3) can be produced in compliance with the designed cover panel (4). A common use of electronic parts will achieve a reduction of cost and enhance a flexibility in design of an interior of the vehicle.

A method for producing a plate denture which includes heating a flask after embedding a wax denture and wax elimination to a temperature for polymerizing a heat-curable resin, the flask being an assembly including a first half shell having a plaster cast with a corresponding mucosal surface and a second half shell having a plaster cast with artificial teeth embedded therein. The method further including placing the heat-curable resin into the heated flask for polymerization while the flask is at an elevated temperature from the heating, and polymerizing the heat-curable resin in the heated flask. Wherein, during the step of heating the first half shell is heated to a higher temperature level in a range of temperature for polymerizing the heat-curable resin while the second half shell is heated to a lower temperature level in the range than the first half shell.
