Abstract: Disclosed is a serum albumin-thioredoxin fusion body which is improved in the activity thereof and is stable with respect to the activity. The serum albumin-thioredoxin fusion body is provided, which is characterized in that the thioredoxin is a modified from in which at least a cysteine residue located at position 73 from the N-terminal of an amino acid sequence for the thioredoxin or located at a position equivalent to the position 73 is substituted by another amino acid residue. the modified serum albumin-thioredoxin fusion body is superior in the activity and stability thereof, is reduced in immunogenicity and has superior safety compared with a fusion body in which the thioredoxin is non-modified form.

Abstract: An airbag cover adapted to be jointed with an airbag housing for covering an airbag housed in the housing. The airbag cover includes a door. In a circumference of the door, there are a hinge region which holds the door as opened, and a tearable region configured to break when pushed by the airbag. The tearable region includes a bridged tear region which includes perforations formed through the airbag cover and bridging regions disposed between the perforations, and is configured to break when the bridging regions break, and a thinned tear region which includes a continuous thinned region and is configured to break when the thinned region breaks. The bridged tear region is disposed at a leading end of the door as opened, distant from the hinge. The thinned tear region is disposed between both ends of the hinge region and both ends of the bridged tear region.

Abstract: Provided is an occupant protection device which is disposed side by side with an under-cover of an instrument panel and has a harness connected to an inflator disposed on a front side of the under-cover in a vehicle traveling direction to protect a knee portion of an occupant, including a case having a side wall on which the harness is disposed, and a protrusion configured to extend from the side wall of the case toward a front of the under-cover in forward and backward direction of a vehicle, to come in contact with the under-cover, and to restrict movement of the under-cover to the front side in the forward and backward direction of the vehicle.

Abstract: Provided is an occupant protection device which is disposed together with an under-cover of an instrument panel, has a harness connected to an inflator and protects a knee portion of an occupant, including a case in which a first surface is disposed along a lower end of the under-cover and the harness is disposed on a side surface intersecting the first surface and extending in forward and backward direction of a vehicle, and an overhanging portion configured to protrude from a side surface of the case on a lower side of the harness in a vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A passenger protection apparatus allows a bag body of an airbag unit to inflate and expand in a stable manner when an impact is input. The passenger protection apparatus includes an airbag unit that is arranged below an article storage box and that causes a bag body to inflate and expand in a direction of a front seat when an impact is input. The passenger protection apparatus further includes a guide member that covers a gap between a lower end of the article storage box and an adjacent member adjacent to the lower end when bag body inflates and expands.

Abstract: A vehicle body 10 equipped with an airbag system has a side curtain airbag 20 provided on a roof side rail 12. The side curtain airbag 20 includes: a bag body 51 that is disposed along the roof side rail 12; a central protector 59 that holds the bag body 51; and an inflator 52 that is configured to feed gas to the bag body 51. The central protector 59 has a contact end part 65 that is opposed to a reinforcement member 48 with a gap L2 left therebetween. The contact end part 65 is moved toward the reinforcement member 48 by a deployment force of the bag body 51, and the contact end part 65 is thus supported by the reinforcement member 48.

Abstract: A side curtain airbag includes a protector that holds a bag body and that guides deployment of the bag body and a bag bracket that is fastened to a bag attaching seat located between two grab rail attaching seats protruded from a roof side portion and that is used to attach the side curtain airbag to the roof side portion. Portions of the protector which are located between the two grab rail attaching seats and which are located at both sides of the bag attaching seat in the vehicle front-rear direction are provided with first cutout portions.
