Abstract:
An electronic component tray includes: a tray main body housing an electronic component; and a mark provided by the tray main body to represent mass of the tray main body.
Abstract:
A program recording device includes a route searching unit (101) that searches for a route to a destination based on map information, a determining unit (102) that determines a program to be recorded based on the information concerning the destination or information concerning the route that is searched for by the route searching unit (101), and a recording unit (103) that records the program that is determined by the determining unit (102). Thus, a program that is related to activities of a user can be recorded without requiring a complicated operation such as advance designation of a broadcast date, a broadcast time, a broadcast channel of a program wished to be recorded, or a keyword.
Abstract:
An information retrieving apparatus is advantageously used in a voice operation of a vehicle navigation system. The apparatus includes a storage unit for storing the plural pieces of the candidate information composing a hierarchical structure including m hierarchies (m is a natural number not less than 2), and the apparatus retrieves a target information from the hierarchical structure. The apparatus includes an input unit for inputting information, a judging unit for judging a correspondence of the inputted information with one of the plural pieces of the candidate information and for judging the hierarchy of the candidate information if the correspondence is obtained, and a retrieving unit for retrieving one of the plural pieces of the candidate information as a target information based on a judged result of the judging unit.
Abstract:
A tetracyclic compound expressed by the following general formula (1) wherein H1 to H12 represent hydrogen atom at least one of which is replaced by a halogen atom, when either H6 or H8 is replaced by a halogen atom, at least one of the remaining hydrogen atoms is replaced by a halogen atom; R1 and Y1 independently represent an alkyl group, alkoxy group, or alkoxyalkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkenyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, one or more methylene group in R1 and Y1 may be replaced by oxygen atom, sulfur atom, dihydrosilylene group, dimethylsilylene group, —CH═CH—, or —C≡C—; and X1, X2, and X3 independently represent a covalent bond, 1,2-ethylene group, or 1,4-butylene group; and a novel liquid crystal composition comprising the tetracyclic compound and having, at the same time, a wide temperature range of a nematic phase, high optical anisotropy, and high chemical stability.
Abstract:
An navigation apparatus records a deviation point as a new search point for activating a rerouting function during a route guidance process. When the deviation point exists along or near a set route, it is predicted that a vehicle will travel away from the set route at the deviation point. When a current location is within a predetermined distance from the deviation point, the rerouting function is activated to automatically search for a new route starting from the deviation point.
Abstract:
A gas generating apparatus is provided which includes a plurality of combustion chambers and a filter chamber. The filter chamber contains a filter which includes a region which is not substantially heated by combustion gases generated by one combustion chamber and which receives combustion gases subsequently generated in another combustion chamber. In this fashion, a high gas cooling efficiency is achieved. The gas generating apparatus has an upwardly-opening vessel-shaped base and a downwardly-opening vessel-shaped cup which when combined form an outer shell of combustion chambers. A filter cap is fixed to the upper side of the cup, thereby defining the filter chamber. A first combustion chamber is positioned outside a pipe through the base and a second combustion chamber is formed inside the pipe. A foil on the inner surface of the filter chamber prevents combustion gases emitted by one combustion chamber entering another combustion chamber.
Abstract:
A navigation system is provided with: an operation section that selects a scheduled route along which a vehicle is scheduled to move; a system controller that searches for a different route while the vehicle is moving along the scheduled route, the different route serving to reach a destination for which the mobile unit moves along the scheduled route, and compares the searched different route with the scheduled route for movement of the vehicle from a current position of the vehicle onward; and a display section that gives notice of a comparison result obtained by the controller.

An electronic component tray includes: a tray main body housing an electronic component; and a mark provided by the tray main body to represent mass of the tray main body.
Abstract:
A vessel for a gas generator is formed of a cylindrical body, and at least one partition wall situated inside the body to divide the interior of the body into a plurality of chambers. The partition wall has a plastic deforming portion at an outer periphery thereof, which closely contacts an inner peripheral surface of the vessel by causing plastic deformation in a diameter-increasing direction. The partition wall can be easily secured to the vessel, and the vessel can be manufactured at a low cost.
Abstract:
A program recording device includes a route searching unit that searches for a route to a destination based on map information, a keyword creating unit that creates a keyword from information concerning the destination or information concerning the route, a determining unit that determines a program to be recorded based on the keyword, and a recording unit that records the program that is determined by the determining unit.
