  • Patent number: 10965821
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes first and second estimators and a determining unit. The first estimator estimates a quality of each individual part to be used for a product, based on error information concerning a manufactured product. The second estimator estimates a degree of an influence of each portion of a product on a quality of the product, based on the error information. The determining unit determines, for each portion of the product, which part will be used for a corresponding portion of the product, based on the estimated quality and the estimated degree of an influence.

  • Patent number: 8393642
    Abstract: A seat is arranged in front of a back door. An airbag is configured to inflate into a space between the seat and the back door in a rear collision of a vehicle. Herein, when a lower frame portion of a headrest support structure body receives a rearward load in the rear collision of the vehicle, an upper frame portion of the headrest support structure body is moved forwardly around a rotational point of connecting members which pivotally connect an upper portion of the headrest support structure body to the vehicle-body side wall. Accordingly, a headrest attached to the upper frame portion is moved forwardly so that the space between the headrest and the back door can be expanded longitudinally and the passenger's head portion can be supported securely.

  • Patent number: 7815217
    Abstract: There is provided a slant face at an upper portion of a seatbelt anchor. The slant face is formed in such a manner that its lower portion is located inward. There is provided an uneven portion that is formed near an upper edge portion of the seatbelt anchor so as to overhang. Accordingly, the curtain airbag can be prevented from catching on the seatbelt anchor even if the curtain airbag inflates downward contacting the inner face of the center pillar during its inflation.
