20110148175 | ELASTIC MEMBER MADE OF EXPANDED RESIN BEADS, LAMINATED ELASTIC STRUCTURAL BODY, AND SEAT STRUCTURE - To achieve weight reduction while providing elasticity sufficient in a cushioning member for a vehicle seat, an elastic member made of expanded resin beads includes an elastic covering material having stretching properties stuck to an outer face of an expanded bead body. Therefore, when the elastic member made of expanded resin beads is bent or compressed, the respective beads themselves configuring the expanded bead body are elastically deformed according to stretching or compressing of the elastic covering material, and since the elastic deformation is not such deformation that a gap between beads of the expanded bead body largely expands, a crack occurring between beads or permanent deformation does not occur so that bending or compressing becomes possible. Accordingly, the elastic member made of expanded resin beads is suitable as a cushioning member utilizing an elastic recovering force in a bending direction and a thickness direction thereof. | 06-23-2011 |
20110169317 | SEAT - A seat has a configuration in which, in each side frame of a cushion frame, an inner frame and an outer frame which have flanges extending along peripheral edges thereof are faced to each other with a space therebetween at least partially, and the flanges are fixed by hemming process along the entire peripheral edges thereof. Since the entire peripheral edges are hemmed, the inner frame and the outer frame are securely fixed. Additionally, since the inner frame and the outer frame which are thin-plate-shaped are used, reduction in weight of each side frame can be achieved. Further, since the inner frame and the outer frame are faced to each other with a space therebetween at least partially, a compressive/tensile strength required as a side frame can be secured by inserting an expanded bead body into the space. | 07-14-2011 |

20120037279 | STRUCTURAL MATERIAL - A structural material is provided, the strength and toughness of which are well-balanced at a high level, suitable in particular for seat frames in automobiles, aircrafts and the like. Specifically disclosed is a structural material produced by integrally joining thin steel members in a part thereof and, after joining, thermally heating a part thereof so that the heat-treated part differs from the other parts in strength and toughness. Unlike a structural material, the strength of which as a whole has been uniformly improved by heat treatment, the above-described structural material consists of a part having a high strength and a part having low strength. Thus, a structural material, the strength and toughness of which are well-balanced at a high level can be obtained. Since the strength and toughness are well-balanced at a high level, the structural material is suitable particularly for seat frames in automobiles, aircrafts and the like. | 02-16-2012 |
20120042994 | MANUFACTURING METHOD OF HIGH-STRENGTH AND HIGH-TOUGHNESS THIN STEEL AND HEAT TREATMENT APPARATUS - To provide a technique suitable for elevating strength and toughness of a thin low-carbon steel.

Further, by performing a heat treatment process involving rapid heating and rapid cooling multiple times, a duplex grain size structure of crystal grains with smaller grain diameters or a hard phase structure contained therein is obtained, so that a thin low-carbon steel with higher strength and higher toughness is obtained. | 02-23-2012 |
20120101395 | DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR ANALYZING BIOLOGICAL BODY STATE - A state change of a person is captured with timing closer to consciousness of the person. A frequency slope waveform of a time series signal of a pulse wave of a body of a person detected by an air pack is obtained by a frequency slope time-series analyzing and a computing device and a frequency fluctuation time-series waveform is obtained by a frequency fluctuation time-series analyzing and computing device. By comparing changes of two waveforms with each other in a waveform determining device, a state change of a person can be captured with timing closer to consciousness of the person. A sleep-onset point can be specified clearly based upon the case where a fluctuation waveform steep gradient portion indicating a steep gradient change emerges in the frequency fluctuation waveform, and amplitude and a base line position of the frequency fluctuation waveform or the frequency slope waveform are in predetermined ranges. Further, when a mean slope line of the fluctuation waveform steep gradient portion is approximately parallel to a mean slope line of the slope waveform steep gradient portion in the frequency slope waveform before emergence of the fluctuation waveform steep gradient portion, a sleepiness waveform is determined, so that a sleepiness state leading to sleep onset can be detected. | 04-26-2012 |

If impact energy larger than a predetermined level is applied, a couple force acts in a direction where a connection portion between the opposing end portions of the two short frames and the lower end portion of the intermediate leg portion is pressed downward, which rotates the diagonally provided rear leg portion diagonally lower front around the lower end portion thereof, to improve impact absorbing efficiency. | 08-16-2012 |
20130030256 | DEVICE FOR ESTIMATING STATE OF LIVING ORGANISM - A technology to grasp a state of a human being more accurately is provided. The technology is provided with means for acquiring a time-series waveform of a frequency from a time-series waveform of a biological signal sampled from the upper body of a human being and for further acquiring a time-series waveform of frequency slope and a time-series waveform of frequency fluctuation and for applying frequency analysis to them. In the frequency analysis, a power spectrum of each frequency corresponding to a functional adjustment signal, a fatigue reception signal, and an activity adjustment signal, respectively, determined in advance is acquired. Then, a state of a human being is determined from a time-series change of each power spectrum. The fatigue reception signal indicates a degree of progress of fatigue in a usual active state and thus, by comparing it with degrees of predominance of the functional adjustment signal and the activity adjustment signal as their distribution rates, a state of a human being (relaxed state, fatigued state, state in which sympathetic nerve is predominant, a state in which parasympathetic nerve is predominant and the like) can be determined more accurately. | 01-31-2013 |
