The invention is a novel compact robotic manipulator with a special configuration that supports a remote center-of-motion attribute, so it has the ability to accurately and conveniently manipulate and re-orient in 2 degrees of freedom, and to firmly “lock” in place, special purpose surgical tools necessary for minimally invasive therapy. The new features include a sophisticated joint-link structure and configuration that comprises two arcuate links that enable comfortable maneuverability of the end effector or the tool about a pivot point, typically the port of entry of the tool to the patient's body, while preventing the enlargement of the key hole, in the constrained and limited workspace of surgical environments. Also the configuration of the joints provides an open structure that keeps the robots' main parts out of the surgeon's field of view and out of the work area, providing sufficient space in the vicinity of the operative field, or the entry port of the tool to the patient's internal organs. The manipulator can be used in manual, autonomous or remote-control modes.

The present invention provides a photovoltaic module which prevents enlargement of the dimensions of a photovoltaic submodule by reducing ineffective parts which do not contribute to power generation. The photovoltaic module comprises a photovoltaic submodule including a plurality of solar cells interposed between two light-transmitting substrates through the intermediary of an encapsulant, and a connecting lead extending from an edge between the two light-transmitting substrates for outputting generated electric current, a terminal box 30 attached near to the edge of the photovoltaic submodule housing a connecting part between the connecting lead and a cable for outputting generated electric current to the outside, and an outer frame set around the outer circumference of the photovoltaic submodule. An opening 28 through which the connecting lead and the terminal box are inserted is provided to the outer frame at a position which receives at least the terminal box.

A bumper reinforcement member 1 includes a small groove 2 and a large groove 3. The large groove 3 is arranged to encompass the small groove 2 inside the groove. When the bumper reinforcement member 1 is deformed, directions of the deformation of the lateral face of the small groove and the deformation of the lateral face of the large groove are oppose to each other, and thus the peak load and the energy absorption amount of the bumper reinforcement member 1 can be increased with a simple configuration.

A length adjustable cannula includes: a pipe-like main body having a through hole formed therein and an outer circumferential surface on which a screw thread is formed; a base grip provided at an end of the main body; an inner support plate provided at another end of the main body; and an outer support plate thread-coupled with the outer circumferential surface of the main body, the outer support plate being movable along the screw thread in a lengthwise direction of the main body. A position of the outer support plate is adjusted based on a distance from an outside skin to a medical treatment region of a human body, such that the outer support plate is brought into contact with the outside skin and the inner support plate is brought into contact with and supported by an inside skin of the human body.

A vehicle includes a body frame, a left front wheel and a right front wheel, a link mechanism configured to be deformed as a vehicle body leans, and vehicle components disposed directly forward of the link mechanism in relation to a front-and-rear direction of the vehicle. The vehicle components are supported on the body frame via penetrating portions that extend from the body frame toward the front of the vehicle and penetrate the link mechanism.

A board for mounting electronic circuit parts includes a first connection terminal group including a plurality of connection terminals densely formed on the top surface of a substrate having through holes formed therein, and a second connection terminal group including a plurality of connection terminals formed at at least the peripheral portion of a back surface of the substrate. The first connection terminal group is connected to the second connection terminal group by way of the through holes. A build-up multilayer interconnection layer having via holes is formed on the top surface of the substrate, so that the first connection terminal group is connected to the second connection terminal group through the build-up multilayer interconnection layer and the through holes. According to another aspect, each signal line on the top surface of the build-up multilayer interconnection layer comprises a plurality of wiring patterns having different widths and a taper-shaped pattern that connects those wiring patterns together and whose width continuously changes. Each signal line has a smaller width at an area having a relatively high wiring density than at an area having a relatively low wiring density.
