20080290634 | Curtain side-airbag device - A curtain side-airbag device includes an airbag extending from front to rear of a vehicle, a plurality of inflatable support portions provided in the airbag and communicating with each other, and an inflator. The airbag is maintained in a folded state and secured in a vehicle body so that the airbag extends along an upper edge of an inner side surface of a vehicle cabin. The airbag is deployed in a form of a curtain along the inner side surface of the vehicle cabin. The airbag has an upper edge, a non-inflatable peripheral portion surrounding the inflatable support portions, and a strap provided between the upper edge and the non-inflatable peripheral portion of the airbag. The strap regulates a direction of deployment upon inflation of the inflatable support portions. | 11-27-2008 |
20090007181 | TV SET, TV BROADCASTING RECEIVING SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM INFORMATION ACQUISITION METHOD USED IN TV SET - According to one embodiment, in a system formed by connecting a TV and an STB, the TV determines, in updating EPG information, whether the state of the TV allows EPG information acquisition. If the state does not allow EPG information acquisition, the TV requests the STB to acquire EPG information. When the EPG information acquisition request is received from the TV, and the state of the STB allows EPG information acquisition, the STB acquires EPG information and transmits the acquired EPG information (latest EPG information) to the TV. The TV updates the EPG information saved in a memory unit on the basis of the latest EPG information received from the STB. | 01-01-2009 |
20090283992 | Curtain airbag device - A curtain airbag that can be inflated with gas from an inflator and deployed along a side surface of a vehicle cabin. The curtain airbag includes, in an occupant restraint area corresponding to an occupant's position, a multistage chamber section comprising an upper chamber that is arranged at an upper side; a lower chamber that is arranged below the upper chamber; and a discharge passage that is arranged at a middle portion in a vertical direction between the upper chamber and the lower chamber. The discharge passage communicates with at least one of said upper chamber and said lower chamber to discharge gas from said upper chamber and/or said lower chamber through the discharge passage and is adapted to reduce its cross section when pressed by the occupant's head. | 11-19-2009 |
20100194083 | AIRBAG DEVICE - In an airbag device of the present invention, in an inner portion in a car width direction of at least one of adjacent two seats in a vehicle, a central airbag ( | 08-05-2010 |
20110239908 | Table With A Panel - A desk with panels, wherein a large open space is formed between a top board and a rear panel so that the rear upper surface of the top board can be effectively used and optional members can be installed in the open space with a sufficient allowance. The rear end parts of a pair of right and left top board support bodies are mounted on a frame fromed by connecting the upper ends of the right and left leg bodies to each other through a lateral connection lever so as to be projected forward of the lateral connection lever, and the top board is supported by the right and left top board support bodies sos that the most part thereof can be positioned forward of the lateral connection lever. Also, a pair of right and left panel support bodies are mounted on both sides of the frame so as to be extended rearward, and the rear panel in the vertical direction is supported by both panel support bodies at their rear ends. | 10-06-2011 |
20110291393 | CURTAIN AIRBAG - The curtain airbag includes: a curtain bag section configured with cloth panels joined in a bag shape, housed prior to use in a folded state in a vehicle roof side edge section and deploying and inflating downwards when injected with deployment gas; a collision detector for detecting a collision and/or signs of an imminent collision of the vehicle; a gas generator for supplying the deployment gas to the curtain bag section in response to a detection result of the collision detector; and a guide member configured with a cloth panel, rolled up from the bottom of the curtain bag section that has been folded prior to use, via the vehicle width direction inside towards the top of the curtain bag section, the guide member being disposed at a position overlapping with the vehicle front-rear direction position of an interior member provided inside the vehicle compartment. | 12-01-2011 |
20120152233 | SOLAR COLLECTOR AND COOPERATIVE SOLAR COLLECTOR SYSTEM - To secure stable heat collection efficiency and a safe and less expensive support/driving mechanism, a solar collector includes a tracking unit rotatably arranged around a drive shaft. The tracking unit includes a heat collection tube disposed in a longitudinal direction of the tracking unit and converts sunlight into heat. A collector has a reflection panel having a concave cross section in a lateral direction thereof for reflecting sunlight on the heat collection tube and a support member supporting the reflection panel from the backside. The heat collection tube 30 is fixed to the collector. The support member includes a tubular main pipe at a lowermost portion and in the longitudinal direction of the support member, and a plurality of flat support frames fixed to the upper portion of the main pipe in the lateral direction and vertically fixed to the backside of the reflection panel along the concave portion. | 06-21-2012 |
20130056965 | CURTAIN AIRBAG DEVICE AND VEHICLE - In one form, a curtain airbag device is provided having a gas introduction portion that is folded so as to be disposed on a side surface of a folded body of a curtain airbag main body on a roof side portion side. When the vehicle is involved in a side collision or an overturn, an inflator discharges a gas, which is supplied to a curtain airbag, thereby causing the curtain airbag to start to be inflated. In this case, the gas from the inflator initially flows into the gas introduction portion so as to inflate the gas introduction portion. Thus, the inflating force of the folded body of the curtain airbag main body and the inflating pressure of the gas introduction portion are superposed each other so as to press a lower edge of a roof side garnish toward the inside of the vehicle cabin. | 03-07-2013 |
20130257023 | HEAD PROTECTING AIRBAG DEVICE - A side airbag device incorporates an airbag which is fixed to and held by a vehicle so as to be folded in roll form, from a front portion to a rear portion of the vehicle, and which is expanded and developed like a curtain parallel with the inner surface of the side wall of the vehicle by a gas of an inflator when a collision is detected. An airbag support belt is attached to a portion, in close proximity to a top edge of the airbag and close to an attachment position of the inflator, of the airbag. The airbag support belt is wound around the circumferential surface of the inflator and a tip locking hole of the airbag support belt is fixed to a locking projection provided on the inflator, whereby the inflator is integrated with a part of the airbag which is folded in roll form. | 10-03-2013 |
20140050519 | FRICTION JOINING METHOD AND JOINED STRUCTURE - A heating process makes a temperature of joining surfaces Wa and Ta of a pair of metal parts W and T at the start of a first joining process equal to 20% or greater, preferably, 40% or greater of a melting point of material of the metal parts W and T. The heating process makes a heating depth h of the pair of metal parts W and T at the start of the first joining process equal to 1.0 mm or greater. | 02-20-2014 |
20140063608 | PLASTIC LENS - The disclosure includes producing a plastic lens with an antireflection film at a lower cost. The plastic lens is configured to include a plastic base material; and an antireflection film having an electrically conductive layer that is formed in contact with a surface of the plastic base material and that has colorless transparency, and an antireflection film main body that contains a metal oxide, formed on the electrically conductive layer. | 03-06-2014 |
