An obstacle detection apparatus includes an ultrasonic sensor and a control part. The ultrasonic sensor detects a presence of an obstacle around a vehicle and a distance to the obstacle by transmitting an ultrasonic wave and receiving the ultrasonic wave reflected by the obstacle. The control part includes at least one of a rainfall amount determining portion and a noise determining portion. When the rainfall determining portion determines that a rainfall amount is greater than a predetermined amount or when the noise determining portion determines that noise is present, the control part outputs a command signal to the ultrasonic sensor so that the ultrasonic sensor decreases a directivity compared with a case where the rainfall determining portion determines that the rainfall amount is less than or equal to the predetermined amount or a case where the noise determining portion determines that noise is not present.

An automobile weatherstripping includes an extrusion-formed part and a mold-formed part, the mold-formed part being welded and integrated with the extrusion-formed part. The extrusion-formed part is made of an olefin elastomer and the mold-formed part is made of a resin composition containing an olefin resin, ethylene-&agr;-olefin copolymer rubber, hydrogenated aromatic vinyl conjugated diene compounds block copolymer mineral oil and at least one of natural rubber and butadiene rubber in predetermined proportions. The extrusion-formed part and the mold-formed part have a sufficient level of bonding strength with no bonding agent layer being used therebetween.

In an entering detecting system for vehicles, a received ultrasonic signal is amplified by an amplifier circuit so that a Doppler signal may be generated from an amplified signal and a transmission signal for detecting an entering of unauthorized person into a vehicle compartment. An operational amplifier circuit of the amplifier circuit has an output limiter circuit. The output limiter circuit has diode series circuits which are connected to a feedback resistor of an operational amplifier.
