A method for assisting an operator of a vehicle which is approaching a set of traffic lights which permits a stop line to be crossed in at least one first operating state and does not permit the stop line to be crossed in a second operating state. The method provides that (i) a signal which describes the current operating state of traffic lights and the time period until the operating state changes is received in the vehicle, (ii) in the vehicle, verification is carried out on the basis of the received signal as to whether the vehicle can reach the stop line at a speed from a predefined speed range while the set of traffic lights is in the first operating state, and (iii) a speed of the vehicle is influenced and/or a recommendation for influencing the speed is generated as a function of the result of the verification.

Locking projections (31) formed on resiliently deformable resilient arms (30) hold a lever (20) at an initial position by engaging locking recesses (18). Resilient escaping portions (19), on which the locking projections (31) slide in the process of rotating the lever (20) between an assembled position and the initial position, are resiliently deformable in directions away from the locking projections (31). Upon rotating the lever (20) from the assembled position to the initial position after the lever (20) is assembled with a first housing (10), both the resilient arms (30) and the resilient escaping portions (19) are resiliently deformed. Thus, as compared with the case where only the resilient arms (30) are resiliently deformed, degrees of resilient deformation of the resilient arms (30) are reduced, wherefore deformations of the locking projections (31) to be crushed can be suppressed.

A micromirror unit is provided which includes a frame, a mirror forming base upon which a mirror surface is formed, and a torsion connector which includes a first end connected to the mirror forming base and a second end connected to the frame. The torsion connector defines a rotation axis about which the mirror forming base is rotated relative to the frame. The torsion connector has a width measured in a direction which is parallel to the mirror surface and perpendicular to the rotation axis. The width of the torsion connector is relatively great at the first end. The width becomes gradually smaller from the first end toward the second end.

The invention discloses a bridge main cable saddle with a self-returning function. The bridge main cable saddle with the self-returning function comprises a base and a saddle main body, wherein the bottom of the saddle main body is connected with a rotating seat; the rotating seat is in sliding fit with the base; and the fitting surfaces of the rotating seat and the base are arc surfaces. The invention is advantaged in that the saddle realizes a certain longitudinal slip capacity; when the difference between main span loads on the two sides is large, the stress is redistributed through relative slip between a main saddle and a middle tower so that the anti-slip safety of a main cable satisfies standard requirements; and meanwhile, the requirements on the structural rigidity of the middle tower are reduced so that it is possible to design the middle tower according to a reinforced concrete main tower; and for a multi-span suspension bridge, the construction cost can be saved and the later-stage maintenance amount can be reduced.

An electrostatic actuator, a liquid droplet ejection head, and a liquid droplet ejection device which have a good response and are driven by a small drive voltage includes a vibration plate as a sheet-shaped movable electrode and an individual electrode acting as a rectangular fixed electrode confronting the vibration plate and having stepped portions or an inclined portion in a long side direction with respect to the vibration plate, wherein the thickness of the vibration plate is reduced according to an order by which the vibration plate is made to abut against the individual electrode by electrostatic attracting force generated between the vibration plate and the individual electrode. Methods of manufacturing the above devices are also disclosed.

A loudspeaker driver surround 2 comprises a flexible, generally annular element having a central axis 8 along which in use a diaphragm is driven, an outer edge 6 for fitment to an enclosure and an inner edge 4 for fitment to the diaphragm, with a roll surface which extends between the edges and which projects in the direction of the axis, wherein the roll surface has a shape formed by a plurality of axial corrugations 10 extending generally radially with respect to the annular element between the outer and inner edges thereof, the corrugations being shaped and configured such that the roll surface is non-axisymmetric about the axis, and the arrangement being such that cross-sections of the roll surface which extend radially with respect to the annular element between the outer and inner edges thereof have a substantially constant length at all circumferential positions around the annular element and so that the shape of the said cross-section varies continuously between circumferential positions around the annular element, the corrugations giving the projecting roll surface an order of rotational symmetry of at least 30.

The invention relates to a wind deflector (10) for a roof opening (12), which can be closed and opened by a cover, in a roof panel of a vehicle. According to the invention, an elastic element (22), which is fixed with respect to the frame (16) of the roof opening (12), engages on the wind deflector arm (14) and applies a force (24) thereon in the longitudinal direction (18), and an arm (26), which at one end (28) is connected to the wind deflector arm (14) rotatably about the transverse direction (20), is mounted at the other end (28') rotatably with respect to the frame (16) of the roof opening (12) in the transverse direction (20). The invention further relates to a method for actuating the wind deflector (10).

A driver of a vehicle applies an actuation force to an accelerator device such as an accelerator pedal or a twist-grip throttle of the vehicle to deflect the accelerator device to an actual deflection angle (φ_act), which is detected. A restoring force acts on the accelerator device opposite the actuation force. An electronic controller determines a nominal deflection angle (φ_nom) to which the accelerator device shall be deflected, based on inputs such as an actual speed of the subject vehicle, a relative speed of the subject vehicle relative to a leading vehicle driving ahead of the subject vehicle, an actual distance of the subject vehicle to the leading vehicle, and a nominal distance at which the subject vehicle shall follow the leading vehicle. The restoring force on the accelerator device is modulated as a function of the difference between the actual deflection angle (φ_act) and the nominal deflection angle (φ_nom).
