The grasping apparatus includes a grasping portion for grasping a workpiece. This grasping portion has i) pawl portions having squeezing portions that squeeze the workpiece, and ii) contact portions, each of which has an inner bag made of elastic material, and a granular substance that is filled in the inner bag. The contact portions are attached to portions of the squeezing portions that contact the workpiece, and harden the granular substance while keeping it in an appropriate shape by increasing a volume ratio of the granular substance to an inner volume of the inner bags. Retaining portions that have concavo-convex shapes are formed on the attaching surfaces that are portions of the squeezing portions that the contact portions attach to.

A lighting apparatus for controlling a plant disease is provided to reliably inhibit a spore formation and a hyphal growth of a filamentous fungi, reliably induce a disease resistance, prevent a leaf scorch, and promote a growth of a plant. A UV light source repeats a light irradiation which has an irradiation pattern of combining a light irradiation, in which UV-C and UV-B and a visible light are superimposed, with a visible light irradiation alone at least twice a day. The emission of UV-B and UV-C enables the reliable inhibition of the spore formation of the filamentous fungi, for example. Its intermittent emission prevents a plant from getting too used to ultraviolet rays, promotes a generation of an antibacterial substance, for example, and prevents a leaf scorch. The continuous emission of the visible light enables a promotion of a growth of the plant.

A game device is disclosed which includes a game controller configured to control the execution of a game, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the same player has continuously played the game executed by the game controller, and a game auxiliary process unit configured to execute a first game auxiliary process that will provide effects or information to the player when a predetermined process execution condition is satisfied before a predetermined time, and execute a second game auxiliary process that is different from the first game auxiliary process when the predetermined process execution condition is satisfied after the predetermined time.

When an own vehicle is highly likely to collide with an obstacle, a notification of prompting a driver to carry out a collision avoidance operation is appropriately given. When an output request for collision avoidance support information exists, a notification ECU notifies of the collision avoidance support information irrespective of absence / presence of an output request for vehicle-infrastructure cooperation support information. When the output request for the collision avoidance support information does not exist and the output request for the vehicle-infrastructure cooperation support information exists, the notification ECU notifies of the vehicle-infrastructure cooperation support information. Thus, when the conditions for the notification of the vehicle-infrastructure cooperation support information and the collision avoidance support information are simultaneously satisfied, the vehicle-infrastructure cooperation support information is inhibited from being notified and the collision avoidance support information is notified.

A rectangular collector portion is formed on each of a first insulating portion and a second insulating portion. A cover layer is provided on the first insulating portion to cover the collector portion, and a cover layer is provided on the second insulating portion to cover the collector portion. A seal region is provided on the first insulating portion to surround the cover layer. A seal region is provided on the second insulating portion to surround the cover layer. Rectangular drawn-out conductor portions are formed on the back surface of the base insulating layer. The collector portion and the drawn-out conductor portion are electrically connected to each other, and the collector portion and the drawn-out conductor portion are electrically connected to each other.

A method for measuring a film strength of a film on an object. An incident angle of pressure waves with respect to an object to be measured, the object including a base coated with a film, is set for applying the pressure waves to the object. The incident angle is varied over a range including a critical angle θcr. The object generates surface waves, in response to the pressure waves, at and near the critical angle. In response to the surface waves, the object generates leaky waves, which are pressure waves caused by the surface waves. The intensity of pressure waves including reflected waves and leaky waves from the object are measured. A received intensity V0 at an incident angle where no leaky wave is generated, and the intensity difference VC between V0 and the received intensity at the critical angle θcr when the film strength is high are measured. An intensity difference VR between V0 and the received intensity when the intensity of the leaky waves remains unchanged, regardless of the changes in the incident angle, within the range where the leaky waves are generated, which indicates a low film strength, is also measured. Thus, the film strength is determined based on V0, VC, and VR.

An in-vehicle image display apparatus for use in a vehicle is provided which includes: a state detecting device that detects a state of surroundings of the vehicle; a display device that is provided at least in an entire front window section of the vehicle and capable of displaying information over the entire window section; an image generating device that generates image data for displaying an image of the surroundings of the vehicle on the display device based on detection results from the state detecting device; and a display control device that makes the display device display an image represented by the image data generated by the image generating device.

A straddle-type vehicle that reliably leads fuel that overflows from a fuel fill opening away to a safe area without specialist components. A fuel tank includes a recess portion that is formed around a fuel fill opening, and a raised section that is formed to the outer side of the recess portion and that is at a higher position than the recess portion.
