Abstract:
A rear structure of a gaseous fuel vehicle in this invention includes right and left rear frame members, and a support frame mounted to the right and left rear frame members, on which support frame a gaseous fuel tank is mounted. Each of the right and left rear frame members is constituted by a curved member which includes a curved portion curving upward, and a front linear portion and a rear linear portion which are lower than the highest portion of the curved portion. The support frame is attached to the front linear portions and the rear linear portions. The front linear portions are attached to the rear end of a vehicle frame to provide a low floor in a passenger compartment. A load applied to the rear ends of the right and left rear frame members is dispersed into the right and left rear frame members and the support frame, and transmitted to the vehicle frame.

Abstract:
A method of forming on a substrate an amorphous silica-based coating film having a low dielectric constant of 3.0 or below and a film strength (Young's modulus) of 3.0 GPa or more, which comprises, as a typical one, the steps of; (a) coating on the substrate a liquid composition containing hydrolysate of an organic silicon compound or compounds hydrolyzed in the presence of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide (TAAOH); (b) setting the substrate in a chamber and then drying a coating film formed on the substrate at a temperature in the range from 25 to 340° C.; (c) heating the coating film at a temperature in the range from 105 to 450° C. with introduction of a superheated steam having such a temperature into the chamber, and (d) curing the coating film at a temperature in the range from 350 to 450° C. with introduction of a nitrogen gas into the chamber.
Abstract:
A sheet feeding device includes a stacking plate, a moving mechanism, a pick-up device, a detection plate, a detecting device, and a control section. The stacking plate is movably supported inside the sheet feeding device. The mechanism moves the stacking plate up and down. The pick-up device sends a top one of sheets stacked on the stacking plate, out in a direction from a sheet feeding position within a predetermined level range. The detection plate is mounted above the position and below a top inner surface of the sheet feeding device, with a lower surface thereof facing an object to be placed on the stacking plate. The detection plate is movably supported at a support portion provided at a predetermined location in an upper surface thereof. The detecting device detects upward and downward displacement of the detection plate. According to the detection result, the section controls operation of the mechanism.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus, which has sophisticated functions of feeding recording paper of various sizes selectively and of sorting printed paper, is reduced in size. The feed bin sorters, the output bin sorters, and the output tray are arranged in tiers. Pre-printed paper is supplied from any of the feed bin sorters, and printed paper is delivered to any of the output bin sorters or the output tray.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an amorphous silica-based coating film with a low specific dielectric constant of 2.5 or below and the Young's modulus of 6.0 GPa or more and having excellent hydrophobic property, and to a method of forming the same. A liquid composition containing a silicon compound obtained by hydrolyzing tetraalkyl ortho silicate (TAOS) and specific alkoxysilane (AS) in the presence of tetraalkyl ammonium hydroxide (TAAOH) is prepared. The liquid composition is then applied on a substrate, heated and cured to obtain a coating film. The coating film obtained as described has a smooth surface and also has specific micropores therein.
