Abstract: A laser irradiation apparatus which is provided with: an environment isolation container, which houses a laser oscillator and is disposed in water; a laser irradiation head, which collects laser beams and irradiates a part to be machined with the laser beams; a light guide section which transmits the laser beams from the laser oscillator to the laser irradiation head; a power supply apparatus which supplies the laser oscillator with power; a cooling water supplying apparatus, which supplies the laser oscillator with cooling water through a cooling water supplying path; and a temperature sensor which measures the temperature inside of the environment isolation container. The temperature and/or the flow quantity of the cooling water to be supplied from the cooling water supplying apparatus is controlled on the basis of the measurement results obtained from the temperature sensor.

Abstract: A heating laser beam is emitted to a cracked portion to remove moisture from the cracked portion, and subsequently, a welding laser beam is emitted to the cracked portion to heat and melt the cracked portion. The heating laser beam and the welding laser beam are emitted to an entire surface of the cylindrical body inside the reactor such as a stub tube penetrating through and fixed to a reactor bottom portion and a crack of the welded portion between the cylindrical body and the reactor bottom portion to thereby prevent a new crack from occurring and reactor water from leaking.

Abstract: A front body structure includes a front-wheel movement promoting mechanism arranged between a front wheel (22) and a suspension member (19) that promotes a backward movement of the front wheel (22) when a collision load (F1) is applied to the front wheel (22) while being accompanied with a backward deformation of the outer end (12a) of a bumper reinforcement (12). The front-wheel movement promoting mechanism may be a notch (35) formed in the suspension member (19) to allow the front wheel (22) to move backward in early stages of the collision. Then, the front wheel (22) interferes with an outrigger (15) and a side sill (14), preventing a vehicle cabin from being deformed.

Abstract: Front side members (11, 12) are formed with outward bent portions (11A, 12A) at the front sides. Bumper reinforcement (13) is formed with rear slant portions (13A) at the both ends. The front ends of the outward bent portions (11A, 12A) are connected with the rear slant portions (13A). Interference members (40) are formed on the rear side of the proximal portions of the outward bent portions (11A, 12A). The interference members (40) interfere with power unit (P) to restrict a deformation of the front side member at a collision. Side members (31) of a sub frame (30) are stronger than the outward bent portions (11A, 12A) and the front end positions (K1) of the outward bent portions (11A, 12A) are arranged on the inside in the vehicle width direction and on the rear side in the vehicle fore and aft direction of the front end positions (K2) of the outward bent portions (11A, 12A).

Abstract: A front body structure is provided to restrain a collision load, which has been applied on a front wheel by a vehicle front collision, to be concentrated on a front end of a side sill excessively. In the structure, a front energy absorbing member 23 is attached to a back face of a lateral end of a bumper 21. A recess 18 is formed by a front end of the side sill 7 and a front face of an outrigger 15. A rear energy absorbing member 19 is attached into the recess 18. The outrigger 15 connects the side sill 7 with a front side member extension 5 joined to the rear end of a front side member 3. At the vehicle front collision, the front energy absorbing member 23 interferes with the right-and-front part of the front wheel 1 to allow the left-and-front part of the front wheel 1 to interfere with the side face of the front side member 3 and also allow the rear part of the wheel 1 to interfere with the rear energy absorbing member 19.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant restraint system includes a first restraint apparatus to restrain an occupant in a first direction such as the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a second restraint apparatus to restrain the occupant in a second direction such as the lateral direction. A control unit triggers the first restraint apparatus upon a collision tending to throw the occupant in the first direction. Thereafter, the control unit sets a delay time in accordance with a condition representing the amount of movement of the occupant in the second direction, and triggers the second restraint apparatus at a timing delayed by the delay time with respect to the first trigger action of triggering the first restraint apparatus.

Abstract: A vehicle air bag system is provided with an air bag that inflates and unfolds to cover the entire front surface of a front pillar 3. When it is judged based on the detection operation of a collision detection device 10 that there is a risk of colliding with a pedestrian, a hood pop-up device 11 is actuated and the rear end part of the engine hood 1 moves up, widening the gap between the rear end part and the front windshield 2. Simultaneously, the air bag module 15 is actuated and the air bag 18 expands out from the gap. The air bag inflates and unfolds so as to cover the entire front surface of the front pillar 3 from the base to the upper end thereof.

Abstract: A frame structure capable of increasing collision energy absorption includes a floor member or structure. The floor member has extruded side sill members which are adapted to undergo lateral buckling in response to side collisions while resisting axial or longitudinal deformation due to end-on collisions. Extruded impact dispersing deformable sections with a smaller rigidity than the associated side sills are provided on the inboard sides of the sills and arranged to smooth buckling and disperse collision energy. At least one extruded, flat, passenger occupancy floor section, which is located inboard of the impact dispersing deformable sections, is provided to prevent buckling deformation and maintain the cabin space.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a floor structure 1. The floor structure 1 has a floor body 3 formed with generally-uniform sections in a vehicle's fore-and-aft direction, a dash cross member 11 connected with a front end of the floor body 3 and a rear cross member 13 connected with a rear end of the floor body 3. A side sill 5 is arranged on one side of the floor structure 1. A pillar 21 is connected with the side sill 5 through its lower end 21a. In the structure, a strength adjusting part 29 is formed in the side sill 5, for adjusting the strength of the side sill 5 in local. When the vehicle has a frank collision, the strength adjusting part 29 operates to reduce a collision reactive force generated on the side of the lower end 21a of the pillar 21 in comparison with the collision reactive force generated besides the lower end 21a of the pillar 21.

Abstract: A motor vehicle body structure has a vertically oriented front door latch pillar. The pillar is formed of a light metal alloy. The pillar has an upper end joined to a side roof rail and a lower end joined to a side sill. At a transition point between the upper and lower ends, the pillar defines a boundary between an upper structure portion and a lower structure portion. The upper structure portion extends between the upper end and the predetermined point. The lower structure portion extends between the predetermined point and the lower end. The upper and lower structure portions implement reinforcement and deformation permission measures, respectively.
