Hardware diagnosis of a disk array apparatus is conducted before shipment by using a self-diagnosis circuit, using the same criteria that apply to actual [in-use] equipment.

A logical circuit 18 and a self-diagnosis circuit 22 are mounted on an LSI 10. When a test program is loaded to a RAM 28 and a diagnosis command is input to a CPU 26 before shipment, a pattern generation circuit 24 generates a pattern and expected value pattern data corresponding to the pattern under the control of the CPU 26. When the pattern is input to the logical circuit 18, the logical circuit 18 operates according to the pattern and outputs pattern data showing the test result. An expected value checking circuit 30 compares and checks this pattern data against the expected value pattern data and then outputs the diagnosis result regarding whether the logical circuit 18 is normal or abnormal. The content of the diagnosis result is displayed on an external display unit.

To prevent abnormal sounds made by the vibrations of the tip of a seal lip of the molding for a window plate of a vehicle which are created when the air is sucked out from the inner cavity by the difference in pressure between the inside and the outside of the seal lip when the vehicle runs at high speeds, a seal lip body 4a extends in the direction of a vehicle body panel P from the leg of the molding 1 for a window plate and a folded-back lip 4b is consecutively integrally formed such that it folded back in the opposite inward direction from the tip of the seal lip body 4a into the cavity 5 between itself and the vehicle body panel P and extends along the vehicle body panel P. When the vehicle runs at high speeds, even if the seal lip 4a is moved up by the difference in pressure between the inside and the outside of the seal lip body 4a, the folded-back lip 4b is pressed on the vehicle body panel P and thus the air does not leak from the cavity 5. Therefore, it can prevent the abnormal sounds which are produced when the air leaks.

Of moving directions of a piston, the direction in which high-pressure air is delivered is a delivery direction, and the direction in the opposite direction from the delivery direction is a force accumulation direction. The piston is moved in the force accumulation direction by the moving mechanism, and moved in the delivery direction by the biasing force of the biasing spring in response to the release of the moving force exerted by the moving mechanism. The cylinder is provided with: a piston supporting portion that supports the piston; and a connection protrusion that has a delivery path for delivering the high-pressure air to the nozzle. The inner surface of an end of the piston supporting portion in the delivery direction is formed as a closed surface. The delivery path is located further toward the force accumulation direction than the closed surface is.

According to the present invention, it is appropriately determined whether there is a portent of abnormal vibration or not, and an appropriate control is conducted such that no abnormal vibration occurs during a dewatering stroke. A control unit comprises a calculation unit, a determination unit, and a motor rotation control unit. The calculation unit calculates the rate of change in water level, which indicates the amount of change in water level per a predetermined period of time, on the basis of the result of sensing by a water level sensor in connection with a water supply stroke. The determination unit determines whether laundry having a waterproof property is contained in a drum or not on the basis of the rate of change in water level during the water supply stroke calculated by the calculation unit. When it is determined that laundry having a waterproof property is contained in the drum, the motor rotation control unit controls the operation of a driving motor such that the drum is rotated at a predetermined number of rotations or less during the dewatering stroke.
