An actuator angle estimation device 10 is an actuator bend angle estimation device 10 comprising a tube member 24 that has a first chamber 25A and a second chamber 25B which are spaced apart from each other, disposed along the axial direction, and arranged parallel to each other. The actuator bend angle estimation device 10 estimates the bend angle of an elongated actuator body section 22 that is bent as a result of one side of a tube wall being shortened in the axial direction in response to a rise in the internal pressure of the first chamber 25A. The actuator bend angle estimation device 10 additionally comprises: a fluid supply unit that supplies a fluid to the first chamber 25A; a pressure sensor 62 that acquires the internal pressure of the second chamber 25B; and an angle estimation unit that estimates the bend angle of the actuator body 22 on the basis of the internal pressure of the second chamber 25B, which is in a sealed state, as acquired by the pressure sensor 62.

Abstract

An acquisition unit 50 acquires individual information by reading, via a reader, individual information stored in advance in an RFID tag 34 disposed in a tire, a communication unit 54 accesses a database 44 of a database server, and the communication unit 54 acquires, from the database, recycling information pertaining to the tire corresponding to the individual information acquired by the acquisition unit 50. The display processing unit then presents the recycling information pertaining to the tire by performing a process for displaying the recycling information acquired by the communication unit on a display unit.

Abstract

Disclosed is a pipe joint in which, when a nut member 20;70 in which a flat inner circumferential surface 23;73 is fitted coaxially on a core metal fitting cylindrical part 11 of a core metal fitting 10;60 is in a predetermined positional relationship in the axial direction with respect to the core metal fitting 10;60, a core metal fitting-side outer circumferential groove 11v;61v and a nut-side inner circumferential groove 23v;73v are matched to form a ring fitting hole V, and by fitting of a locking ring 30;80 in the ring fitting hole V, the nut member 20;70 is locked and attached to the core metal fitting 10;60 so as to be rotatable relative thereto and restricted from moving relative thereto in the direction away from the core metal fitting 10;60 in the axial direction, and because the groove depth of the core metal fitting-side outer circumferential groove 11v;61v is greater than the groove depth of the nut-side inner circumferential groove 23v;73v, the pipe joint can be assembled easily and appropriately without requiring dedicated equipment, and leakage of fluid can be prevented during fastening of the nut member and when the pressure of the fluid fluctuates.

Abstract

The present invention more effectively reduces discomfort of occupants, which is caused by a noise when the road surface condition switches. An information processing device 10 comprises a control unit 11 for: acquiring audio information of a noise which is generated during traveling of a vehicle 50 and is sensed by a microphone 15; generating, on the basis of the acquired audio information, a cancellation sound for canceling a road noise caused by unevenness of a road surface G on which the vehicle 50 travels; and causing a speaker 16 to output the generated cancellation sound. The control unit 11: acquires road surface information indicating the condition of the road surface G in a direction in which the vehicle 50 advances; detects, on the basis of the acquired road surface information, a switching point at which the condition regarding the unevenness of the road surface G switches; and, in response to the detection of the switching point, causes the speaker 16 to output a noise sound obtained by imitating the road noise in a fixed transition section which is before or after the switching point passed along due to traveling by the vehicle 50 and in which the degree of unevenness of the road surface is smaller.

A tire mold (1) is provided with a mold (2) and a mold (3). A mating-surface-side inner surface (F31) of the mold (3) is inclined inward, and a through-hole (5) that opens in the mating-surface-side inner surface (F31) and a mating surface (Fm3) is formed in the mold (3). A communication groove (6) that leads to the through-hole (5) is formed in the mating surface (Fm3) of the mold (3). The communication groove (6) forms a communication path (R6) that leads to the through-hole (5) when the molds (2, 3) are mated. Furthermore, the mold (3) has, formed in the mating surface (Fm3), a recessed section (7) that leads to the communication groove (5). When the molds (2, 3) are mated, the recessed section (7) forms a filling space (S7) that communicates with the communication path (R6) and has a larger volume than the total volume of the through-hole (5) and the communication path (R6).

A retreadability determination method includes a step (S1) of acquiring a state characteristic value, indicating a state of the tire, to be used in a first determination and a second determination, a step (S2) of executing the first determination, and a step (S9) of executing the second determination in a case in which it is determined in the first determination that the tire can be retreaded. The first determination is one of a chemical degradation state determination using a residual durability of the base tire calculated based on a chemical change in rubber material of the tire and a physical degradation state determination using a residual durability of the base tire calculated based on a state of physical damage to the tire, and the second determination is the other of the chemical degradation state determination and the physical degradation state determination.
