Abstract:
A bearing beam structure is secured to a cylinder block of an internal combustion engine and includes a plurality of main bearing cap sections each of which associates with each bearing section of the cylinder block so as to rotatably support a crankshaft. At least a beam section is rigidly connected to the lower end portion of each bearing cap section to securely connect all the bearing cap sections with each other. Additionally, first and second side wall sections are rigidly connected to the opposite side portions of each bearing cap section to securely connect all the bearing cap sections with each other. Accordingly, the bearing beam structure is improved in rigidity to suppress various vibrations of the cylinder block, thereby effectively achieving total engine noise reduction.
Abstract:
A rocker cover assembly comprises a rocker cover body made of damping material and including an installation flange section having a plurality of projections; a frame-like pressure-plate disposed in contact with the rocker cover body installation flange section and including an outer bent section to cover the outer periphery of the installation flange section, and a plurality of inner bent portions each of which is plunged into the installation flange section at a location where each projection of the rocker cover body installation flange section is formed; and a seal-ring located within a space defined between the pressure-plate outer bent section and the projections of the rocker cover body installation flange section, thereby maintaining a secure oil-tight seal between the rocker cover body and a cylinder head.
Abstract:
A panel extends between and is anchored to the side walls of a vehicle occupant space to form a surface substantially juxtaposed to the knees of seated occupants. Four box-profiled crushable elements are laterally arranged and mounted on and along the elongate panel.
Abstract:
A sheet conveyance device including first to third conveyance units, independent driving unit, device driving unit, and control unit. The first conveyance unit includes a first holder that holds one edge of a sheet, and conveys the sheet. The second conveyance unit includes a second holder that holds one edge of the sheet, and conveys the sheet. The third conveyance unit is supported to be swingable between a reception position at which it receives the sheet from the first conveyance unit, and a transfer position at which it transfers the sheet to the second conveyance unit. The third conveyance unit includes a third holder that holds the other edge of the sheet conveyed by the first conveyance unit, and conveys the sheet held by the third holder. The independent driving unit drives the first conveyance unit. The control unit adjusts the speed at which the sheet is conveyed.
Abstract:
A positive electrode plate for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the positive electrode plate including: a positive electrode substrate; a positive electrode active material layer formed on the positive electrode substrate; and a positive electrode substrate exposed portion on which the positive electrode active material layer is not formed, the positive electrode substrate exposed portion having a region that is adjacent to the positive electrode active material layer and has a protective layer formed thereon, the positive electrode active material layer and the protective layer containing polyvinylidene fluoride, and the weight average molecular weight Mw of the polyvinylidene fluoride contained in the protective layer being larger than the weight average molecular weight Mw of the polyvinylidene fluoride contained in the positive electrode active material layer. Thus, a high reliable nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery where the widths of the positive electrode material and the protective layers are stable can be provided.

Abstract:
A single wafer cleaning method and a cleaning apparatus thereof are provided in which the transition to rinse treatment is swiftly performed without being influenced by a chemical liquid component, and a polymer and a residue of chemical liquid are suppressed to reduce defects on a substrate. The single wafer cleaning method according to an embodiment of the present invention is a single wafer cleaning method of performing cleaning by a chemical liquid 8 and a rinse liquid 14 while rotating a substrate-to-be-cleaned 30, in which after chemical liquid treatment is performed by moving a chemical liquid nozzle 10 over the substrate-to-be-cleaned 30, rinse treatment is performed on the substrate-to-be-cleaned 30 by discharging the rinse liquid 14 from a rinse nozzle 16 disposed fixedly at a position not interfering with the movement of the chemical liquid nozzle 10.
