An electromagnetic wave absorbing particle dispersoid is provided that includes at least electromagnetic wave absorbing particles and a thermoplastic resin, wherein the electromagnetic wave absorbing particles contain hexagonal tungsten bronze having oxygen deficiency, wherein the tungsten bronze is expressed by a general formula: M.sub.xWO.sub.3-y (where one or more elements M include at least one or more species selected from among K, Rb, and Cs, 0.15x0.33, and 0<y0.46), and wherein oxygen vacancy concentration N.sub.V in the electromagnetic wave absorbing particles is greater than or equal to 4.310.sup.14 cm.sup.3 and less than or equal to 8.010.sup.21 cm.sup.3.

A license plate assembly includes a backing and a flexible license plate. The flexible license plate includes plural layers, including a licensing-information layer, in which ink is deposited in the form of alphanumeric characters on an underlying one of the plural layers, the alphanumeric characters providing license information. The flexible license plate optionally includes one or more holograms, and/or watermarks, and/or QR-codes. The flexible license plate is disposed on the backing, which extends beyond the perimeter of the flexible license plate, defining a marginal region. In some embodiments, plural indices are disposed in the marginal region to facilitate alignment of flexible license plate during installation thereof on a motor vehicle.

A headlamp structure has a contoured reflector panel with a forward-facing surface and a reflex supporting portion. The forward-facing surface has a plurality of reflector surface portions. The reflex supporting portion extends forward from an inboard side inboard of the reflector surface portions. A passive reflector is attached to the reflex supporting portion with a reflector surface that faces an outboard direction relative to the forward-facing surface. Each of the plurality of reflector surface portions is shaped and configured to reflect light from a corresponding one of a plurality of light emitting elements and aim the reflected light to project in a forward direction parallel to the reflector surface of the passive reflector. The reflector surface of the passive reflector is configured such that at least light approaching the contoured reflector panel from outboard of an outboard side of the contoured reflector panel is reflected back in the outboard direction.

A target device, which allows a sufficient amount of reflected light to be obtained from an end portion, is provided and includes a measurement section. In the target device, a retroreflective layer in which a plurality of retroreflective elements are arranged on the entire circumference in a circumferential direction about an axis is formed on at least part of the outer peripheral surface of the measurement section. The retroreflective layer is formed into an uneven shape in which a distance from the axis changes along the entire circumference in the circumferential direction.

The present disclosure provides a retroreflective film for removable application to a three-dimensional object. The film comprises a transparent film layer; a first transparent adhesive layer; a retroreflective layer comprising glass microspheres and a binder; a metalized coating layer comprising aluminum applied on the retroreflective layer; a removable adhesive layer having a peel force of 2 lbs/inch or less. When the film is elongated by 50% it retains at least 50% of its unstretched coefficient of retroreflection as measured at the 0.2 degree observation angle and 4 degree entrance angle. When the film is elongated by 50% it retains at least 50% of its unstretched gloss when measured at a 20 degree angle.

To control a focus position of light at a high speed and with high precision, an optical apparatus includes a first reflection surface 101 configured to be rotatable about a rotational shaft 104 and reflect the light; a second reflection surface 102 configured to be rotatable about the rotational shaft 104, face the first reflection surface 101, and reflect the light from the first reflection surface 101; a third reflection surface 114 that returns the light from the second reflection surface 102 to the second reflection surface 102; and a control unit 120 configured to control a focus position in an optical axis direction of the light returned back to the first reflection surface 101 from the third reflection surface 114 via the second reflection surface 102 by rotating the first and second reflection surfaces 101 and 102 about the rotational shaft 104 in a state in which a relative arrangement between the first and second reflection surfaces 101 and 102 is maintained.
