A spring for sun visors includes a torque application section that extends from a holding section and applies torque when a main section is rotating. The holding section has a flat section that receives torque from a shaft. The torque application section has a first spring piece extending from one end of the holding section and a second spring piece extending from the other end of the holding section and being bent so as to fold back. The first spring piece has a first tip section that includes overhanging sections that are narrower than the width of the holding section. The second spring piece has a second tip section that is arranged so as to overlap on the outside of the overhanging sections. The overhanging sections are provided in an area extending from the torque receiving section to the first tip section.

Embodiments relate to a layered film having an antireflection function and an infrared-shielding function. According to at least one embodiment, there is provided a layered film having a heat-ray shielding layer and a low-refractive-index layer in this order on at least one surface of a resin film, where the difference (Rh−Rf) of the refractive index (Rh) of the heat-ray shielding layer and the refractive index (Rf) of the resin film is −0.1 to 0.1, the difference (Rh−RL) of the refractive index (Rh) of the heat-ray shielding layer and the refractive index (RL) of the low-refractive-index layer is 0.05 or greater, and the refractive index (RL) of the low-refractive-index layer is 1.2 to 1.45. The thickness of the heat-ray shielding layer may be 0.1 to 5 μm. The visible-light transmittance of the layered film may be 88% or greater.

METHODS AND APPARATUS TO ADJUST A REACTIVE SYSTEM BASED ON A SENSORY INPUT AND VEHICLES INCORPORATING SAME
20210387573 · 2021-12-16 ·

A conventional vehicle typically behaves like a single rigid body with fixed characteristics defined during the design phase of the vehicle. The rigid nature of the conventional vehicle limits their ability to adjust to different operating conditions, thus limiting usability and performance. To overcome these limitations, a reactive vehicle may be used that includes a sensor and a reactive system. The sensor may monitor the position and/or orientation of an operator, the vehicle operating conditions, and/or the environment conditions around the vehicle. The reactive system may adjust some aspect of the vehicle based on the data acquired by the sensor. For example, the reactive system may include a video-based mirror with a field of view that changes based on the operator's movement. In another example, the reactive system may include an articulated joint that changes the physical configuration the vehicle based on the operator's movement.
