39results about How to "Suppress and prevent generation" patented technology

Provided are a flow meter and a flow-rate control system using the same that is capable of measuring a flow rate in a minute flow-rate region with excellent measurement accuracy by preventing or suppressing the generation of bubbles and in which accumulation of the fluid and the bubbles is less likely to occur. The flow meter is for measuring a minute flow rate of a fluid flowing through a fluid channel whose outlet environment is set to constant pressure, the flow meter including a flow-rate measurement conduit portion having a predetermined length connected to an outlet-side end of the fluid channel 1 and whose outlet environment is set to constant pressure by setting the cross-sectional area of a channel smaller than the fluid channel; a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the fluid at the upstream side of the flow-rate measurement conduit portion by being disposed near an outlet of the fluid channel 1; and a pressure-detection control unit 4 for calculating a flow rate from a fluid pressure detected at the pressure detection part.

The present invention provides a hard-to-fall fixing structure of wire harness contributive to cost reduction in which VOC is not generated and flapping sound (noise) of wire harness is hard to occur. In the fixing structure of a wire harness to a vehicle interior material according to the present invention, a silencer pad (acoustical material) is fixed to the vehicle interior material, and the silencer pad is provided with a latching piece formed by cutting a portion of the present silencer pad, and the wire harness is latched to the latching piece.

A vehicle light can include an LED light source disposed such that the optical axis of the LED light source is directed downward, a first lens disposed forward of the LED light source, a second lens disposed below and forward of the first lens, and a first reflector extending from both sides of the LED light source to a position near the optical axis of the LED light source. The first reflector can be configured to reflect light beams from the LED light source toward the first lens so as to form a wide vertically converged and horizontally diffused light distribution pattern. The vehicle light can include a second reflector disposed at a position below and forward of the first reflector. The second reflector can be configured to reflect light beams from the LED light source toward the second lens so as to form a middle-area vertically converged and horizontally diffused light distribution pattern. The lens can be formed by a toroidal lens that is horizontally elongated and that is formed by horizontally extending an aspherical lens cross section having a focus near the LED light source in an arc shape, or by a cylindrical lens having a horizontal focus line. In particular, the lens can be formed by an upper-half lens portion of such a toroidal lens. The vehicle light can include a light shielding shutter having a first upper edge portion and a second upper edge portion lower than the first upper edge portion.

Image transfer method and apparatus in which scratches due to entrainment of particles on an image carrier for a toner image having maximum spectroreflectivity at a wavelength of 550 nm do not produce perceptible flaws in resulting images transferred to a recording medium, since images formed with toner of maximum spectroreflectivity at 550 nm on white recording medium are difficult for human eyes to discern. When cleaning residual toner from transfer belts, reverse bias voltage is applied to at least one transfer roller, the peripheral velocity of the photosensitive drum on which a yellow toner image having maximum spectroreflectivity at 550 nm is formed is allowed to differ from the transfer velocity of the transfer belt, and at least the photosensitive drum on which the yellow toner image of maximum spectroreflectivity at 550 nm is formed is detached from the transfer belt.
