Abstract

This in-vehicle machine control system includes a control device and a mobile terminal (20). The control device comprises a control-mode storage unit (124), and a control-unit group including a body ECU (120), a seat ECU (130), and an air conditioner ECU (140). When one control mode is specified among a plurality of control modes that differ from each other, the control-unit group cooperatively controls two or more in-vehicle machines among a plurality of the in-vehicle machines on the basis of control mode information associated with the specified control mode. The mobile terminal (20) outputs, to the control device, a trigger signal specifying one of the control modes.

Abstract

This device for opening and closing a vehicle door comprises a left power sliding door (PSD) (16), a left PSD motor, and a control unit. The left PSD (16) moves between a full-closed position at which an entrance (18) formed on a side of a vehicle (11) is fully closed and a full-open position which is located closer to the rear than the full-closed position is and at which the entrance (18) is fully open. The left PSD motor drives the left PSD (16) to open and close the left PSD (16). The control unit controls the left PSD motor on the basis of the input of a command signal for opening or closing the left PSD (16). At a position on the side of the vehicle (11) which is closer to the rear side than the entrance (18) is, a left power back door (PBD) operation switch (30) for operating a PBD (26) is provided. When the left PBD operation switch (30) is operated, the control unit prohibits or restricts the movement of the left PSD (16) toward the full-open position due to the drive of the left PSD motor.

Abstract

In a first step, a molding die is immersed in a raw liquid including cellulosic fibers. Then, the liquid of a raw liquid is sucked through a net material by a liquid suction part, so as to cause the cellulosic fibers to be laminated on the net material. In the second step, the cellulosic fibers laminated on the net material are dried, so as to form a protrusion. In the third step, the dried protrusion and the communication part are removed from the molding die. A passage part of the communication part is formed at a position where a projection portion had been arranged, the passage part being configured to communicate an inside of the protrusion with an outside of the protrusion.

The gas flow path section has a plurality of facing parts provided extending along the flow direction of the reaction gas and in parallel to each other in the orthogonal direction, and a plurality of wave-shaped parts for which the cross-sectional shape orthogonal in the orthogonal direction forms a wave shape. The gas flow path section includes a first flow path section adjacent to the supply port in the flow direction, and a second flow path section adjacent to the first flow path section in the orthogonal direction. The flow path cross-sectional area of individual connecting passages in the second flow path section is greater than the flow path cross-sectional area of individual connecting passages in the first flow path section.

The gas flow path part has a plurality of opposing parts that extend along the flow direction of the reactive gas and are provided in parallel with each other in a perpendicular direction. A main flow path is formed between each opposing part and the power generator. The gas flow path part includes a first flow path section adjacent to the supply port in the flow direction and a second flow path section adjacent to the first flow path section in the perpendicular direction. The cross-sectional area of the flow path of each main flow path in the second flow path part is larger than the flow path of each main flow path in the first flow path part.

Abstract

A gas flow passage formation plate includes a plurality of projections arranged in a first direction and a second direction. The projections project toward a membrane electrode assembly. The gas flow passage formation plate further includes a gas flow passage, a water flow passage, and a plurality of openings. The gas flow passage is formed by a portion of the gas flow passage formation plate at a side opposing the membrane electrode assembly including regions between two adjacent projections. The water flow passage is formed by a portion of the gas flow passage formation plate at a side opposing a partition plate including the inside of the projections. The openings are each formed in a side wall of the projection connecting inside and outside of the projection. Each opening is arranged at only one location in one projection.

Abstract

A fuel cell includes power generation cells and an end cell. Each power generation cell has in it a gas passage, through which power generation gas passes. The fuel cell includes an introducing conduit, which distributes and introduces the power generation gas into the gas passages, and a discharging conduit, which merges flows of the power generation gas after passing through the gas passages and discharges the merged flow. The end cell has in it a bypass passage, which connects the introducing conduit and the discharging conduit to each other. The bypass passage is composed of parallel channels, each of which is independently connected to the introducing conduit. The parallel channels include lower parallel channels and upper parallel channels. The pressure loss in each of the lower parallel channels is smaller than the pressure loss in each of the upper parallel channels.

Abstract

A flame retardant resin composition includes a thermoplastic resin, flame retardant reinforced fibers, and a flame retardant. The flame retardant reinforced fibers include cellulosic fibers, a phosphorus compound that is grafted to the surface of the cellulosic fibers, and a polyamine compound that is bound to the phosphorus compound. The flame retardant is a phosphorus-based flame retardant. A method for producing the flame retardant resin composition includes the following: grafting a vinyl phosphate compound to cellulosic fibers by bringing the vinyl phosphate compound into contact with the cellulosic fibers after the cellulosic fibers have been irradiated with an electron beam, optionally followed by electron beam irradiation; binding a polyamine compound to the vinyl phosphate compound, which is grafted to the cellulosic fibers, to form flame retardant reinforced fibers; grinding the flame retardant reinforced fibers; and melt-kneading and pelletizing a thermoplastic resin, the flame retardant reinforced fibers, and a component containing a phosphorus-based flame retardant. This can provide a non-halogen flame retardant resin composition with sufficient flame resistance.

Abstract

An interior component (10) comprising a base material (1) and a skin material (2) bonded to the obverse surface (1A) of the base material. A looped portion (32) of a thread (31) engaged with a sewing needle and inserted at an incline with respect to the obverse surface of the base material, from the obverse surface side of the skin material to the reverse surface (1B) side of the base material, is secured to the reverse surface side of the base material, and a stitch pattern (3) of the thread is formed on the obverse surface side of the skin material. A seat surface (1C) for preventing the sewing needle from slipping is formed on the obverse surface side of the base material, in the position at which the thread of the stitch pattern is inserted.
