Abstract

According to the present invention, if an occupant grips a rim portion of a steering wheel, and the capacitance between the occupant and an electrically conductive cloth on the rim portion is equal to or greater than a predetermined capacitance, a control device detects that the occupant is gripping the rim portion. Here, a terminal portion is electrically connected to the electrically conductive cloth from the reverse side, and the electrically conductive cloth is connected to the control device via the terminal portion. As a result, the electrically conductive cloth can be easily connected to the control device.

Abstract

In a steering wheel, a thread portion of a self-tapping screw penetrates through a terminal of a harness and a skin layer of a conductive resin, and is inserted to an inside portion of the conductive resin. In a state in which a portion of the skin layer that the thread portion passes through is removed, the thread portion allows current to be conducted to the inside portion. Therefore, the terminal may conduct current to the inside portion, which has high conductivity, via the self-tapping screw, and conductivity from the harness to the conductive resin may be improved.

Abstract

In this electrocardiographic detection device, an occupant grips a rim part of a steering wheel and comes into contact with a left electrode and a right electrode of the rim part. The detection unit then outputs an electrocardiographic waveform of the occupant. The left electrode and the right electrode are provided on an upper portion of the rim part on the upper side and the lower side of the steering wheel. Thus, the occupant comes into contact with the rim part due to the load of their arm, and the occupant can therefore stably come into contact with the left electrode and the right electrode even when a vehicle is vibrating.

This vibration damping structure comprises: a winding body that is rotatably connected to a building; a connection member which is wound around the winding body from the base end side, the distal end side of which is connected to the building, and which is pulled out from the winding body so that the winding body is rotated in the pull-out direction; and a deformation member that is twisted and deformed by the rotational force in the pull-out direction of the winding body in a state in which the rotation of the winding body in the pull-out direction is restricted when the building is vibrated, thereby allowing the winding body to rotate in the pull-out direction and allowing the connection member to be pulled out from the winding body.

Abstract

A sensor assembly (1) is, for example, an ultrasonic sensor that detects presence of a surrounding object by means of ultrasonic waves. A sensor body (8) senses the object by transmitting a transmission wave toward the object and receiving a reflected wave reflected on the object. An elastic member (15) causes an outer plate (11) to function as a part of a detection surface (12) of the sensor body (8) by pressing the sensor body (8) to the rear surface of the outer plate (11) and exciting the outer plate (11) by the transmission wave and the reflected wave. The elastic member (15) presses the sensor body (8) to the outer plate (11) in a state of being indirectly or directly fixed to an internal structure (16) in which the relative position with the outer plate (11) does not change.

Abstract

In this shift device, a rotor is in communication with a lever, the rotational position of the rotor is detected, and the shift position of the lever is detected. When the rotor is in communication with the lever, a regulation mechanism regulates the rotational position of the rotor to an H rotational position in a state where the lever is held at an H position. Thus, a calibration process for making the detected rotational position of the rotor correspond to the shift position of the lever can be made unnecessary.

Abstract

In the present invention, a knob is rotatably centered on an axis and is displaceable along said axis between a first position and a second position. A cam mechanism, in response to rotation of the knob, displaces a slider (34) in a direction paralleling the axis. In the path along which the slider (34) moves, a plurality of prescribed positions are defined. A sensor (37) outputs a detection signal (DT) indicating in which of either a first position or a second position the knob is positioned. If the detection signal (DT) indicates that the knob is in the first position, a processor (382) assigns the plurality of prescribed positions correspondences with a plurality of first control-subjected states. If the detection signal (DT) indicates that the knob is in the second position, the processor (382) assigns the plurality of prescribed positions correspondences with a plurality of second control-subjected states that are different from the plurality of first control-subjected states.

Abstract

In a nut covering structure, a nut is rotated to fasten a wheel. An attachment is sandwiched between the nut and the wheel, and a case is attached to the attachment. Relative rotation of a restriction attachment with respect to the nut is restricted, and the restriction attachment restricts relative rotation of the attachment. Therefore, the rotation position of the attachment relative to the nut can be defined.

Abstract

A housing defines a space in which a portable device for remotely controlling a first controlled device with actuation of a movable member is to be housed. By opening the reclosable body, a second controlled device is enabled to be used with the portable device removed from the housing. In response to reception of an instruction from a mobile device adapted to be carried by a user, the first actuator is caused to actuate the movable portion while the second actuator is caused to disable the opening of the reclosable body. In response to reception of data indicative of a fact that the user satisfies a requirement for use of the second controlled device, the second actuator is caused to enable the opening of the reclosable body.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a method for manufacturing an in-mold-coated molded article, the method being capable of preventing the formation of an air pocket when the outer surface of a molding base material is coated with a liquid coating material. [Solution] A protruding part 4 corresponding to a desired pattern to be imparted to the outer surface of a molding base material 2 is formed on the outer surface of the molding base material 2 to a height smaller than the dimension of a coating gap G1, and an air vent gap G2 narrower than the coating gap G1 is formed during mold clamping between the top surface of the protruding part 4 and the inner surface of a second mold 3, so that air in the vicinity of the protruding part 4 inside the coating gap G1 is pushed out through the air vent gap G2 by a coating material T injected into the coating gap G1. As a result, an air pocket A can be prevented from forming in the vicinity of the protruding part 4 and a coating-deficient site K due to the air pocket A can be prevented, thereby improving the appearance of the product (in-mold-coated molded article 10).

Abstract

A control device controls an authentication process related to device authentication together with at least one communication device on a basis of information included in a signal received through wireless communication with the communication device. The control device performs the control in such a manner that authentication information is changed for each process group in which the authentication process is repeated more than once. Signals transmitted or received in the authentication process include a trigger signal, a request signal, and a response signal. The control device executes the process group in which the authentication process is repeated more than once for the trigger signal, the request signal, and the response signal, and changes the authentication information to be used for each of the trigger signal, the request signal, and the response signal each time the process group is executed.
