A pair of rotation platesare provided on an upper surface and a lower surface of a camera body. The rotation platesare rotatable with respect to the camera body. During panorama imaging, a user holds the pair of rotation plateswith their fingers to hold a camera. An actual rotation angle of the camera bodywith respect to the rotation plateis detected by an encoder provided inside the camera. When the actual rotation angle reaches a target rotation angle, an image capturing process of an element image is automatically executed.

A design of a tire can be facilitated. An optimization apparatusinputs known design parameters of the shape, structure, and pattern of a tire, and performances thereof by an experimental data input unitand learns, as a conversion system of a neural network, a correlation between design parameters of the shape, structure, and pattern of the tire, and performances thereof. Ranges which constrain performances of the tire and design parameters of the shape, structure, and pattern of the tire, which are to be optimized, are inputted in an optimization item input unit, and the performances of the tire are predicted in an optimization calculation unitfrom the design parameters of the shape, structure, and pattern of the tire by using the optimization item and models of the calculation unit, and an objective function is optimized until the objective function which is the performances of the tire is converged. The optimized design parameters of the shape, structure, and pattern of the tire are outputted from an optimization result output unit

A strobe device and its flashing method for use with an electronic camera of the present invention are such that a preliminary flashlight to set the amount of light of the main flashing is received by a CCD 1, the amount of light of the main flashing is set on the basis of the signal from the CCD 1, the time interval between the preliminary flashing and the main flashing is set to a time that prevents the photographer from recognizing fluctuations in the luminance, and when the interval has exceeded the time, more than one flashing that has nothing to do with the setting of the amount of light of the main flashing is done between the preliminary flashing and the main flashing, thereby preventing the flicker of flashing that gives a sense of incongruity to the photographer.

A metallic printed board is formed by laminating an insulation layer on the surface of a metallic sheet as a base, and then electronic parts are mounted on the conductor pattern formed on the surface of the insulation layer. A double-sided printed board mounted thereon electronic parts is placed in parallel. Both the printed boards are supported and fixed monolithically by filling the space between the printed boards with an insulation resin and curing the resin. Furthermore, an insulation resin is laminated on the surface of the printed board in such a manner that the resin may cover the mounted electronic parts, and cured. The heat generated from the electronic parts can be efficiently transmitted to the insulation resins by using a resin having a high thermal conductivity for both of the insulation resins, and the heat is then emitted from the surfaces of the metallic sheet or the insulation resin.

A method of determining a pitch arrangement of a tire, to design and develop a tire efficiently. An initial value of the pitch arrangement is determined corresponding to a set value. A model of a noise pulse generated in each pitch of the tire, the objective function representing a physical amount for evaluating noise performance of the tire, a design variable for determining the pitch arrangement, and a constraint for constraining the pitch arrangement are determined for the initial value, and the pitch arrangement whose objective function converges and is minimized is determined while satisfying a constraint by varying a design variable. A pitch ratio whose value of the objective function is minimized is determined by fluctuating of the pitch ratio while the first and the last pitch ratio are fixed among determined pitch arrangements. The pitch arrangement and the pitch ratio whose value of the objective functions are minimized are selected among the pitch arrangements for a hundred initial values.

Multilayered printed board structure

A method of determining a pitch arrangement of a tire, to design and develop a tire efficiently.

A pneumatic tire having an outer surface of a tread portion divided into a tread pattern by grooves, in which each of the grooves has an intersect portion and an angle of an island portion surrounded by said intersect portion is different from that of another part at the same island portion. In such a tire, running performances on dry road are improved by making a distance in radial direction from an outer surface of the tread portion to a bottom of the groove at the intersect portion larger as the angle becomes smaller.

A pneumatic radial tire comprises a pair of bead portions, a pair of sidewall portion extending outward from the bead portions in radial direction, and a tread portion between the sidewall portions. In this tire, the sidewall portion ranging from a separation point of the tire from a rim to a tread end is equally divided into three regions, and at least one annular recess extending circumferentially of the tire is formed on an outer surface of each of these regions in the sidewall portion so that a maximum depth of the annular recess is 0.3 times or more of an original rubber gauge at a position corresponding to a deepest point of the annular recess.
