  • Publication number: 20140151989
    Abstract: An airbag includes a vent hole discharging gas, a slide tether performing transition of a state of the vent hole, from an open state via a close state to the open state, by changing between a slackened state and an extended state, and a slide tether cover guiding the slide tether. The other end portion in a longitudinal direction of the slide tether body portion constitutes a first supporting point by being fastened in a direction going from the vent hole toward a mounting position of the inflator, bifurcated portions constitutes a second supporting point by the other end portion of the slide tether cover being fastened, terminal end portions of leg piece portions constitute a third supporting point by being respectively fastened. When the airbag is deployed, transition of a state of the vent hole is performed.

  • Patent number: 8711397
    Abstract: Device capability information associated with a print job is specified, and it is determined whether the specified device capability information is valid in a printing system. If it is determined that the specified device capability information is valid, print processing is done. If it is determined that the specified device capability information is invalid, it is further determined whether the printing system can execute the print job. Then, execution of the print processing is controlled.

  • Patent number: 8514424
    Abstract: There is provided a printing apparatus capable of solving the problem by including a sheet discharge unit configured to discharge data from the first page of the record including a page where a printing error occurs to the page related to the page where the printing error occurs held on a buffer as output products related to the printing error if the printing error occurs, a display unit configured to display on an operation unit a message prompting the removal of the output products discharged by the sheet discharge unit, and a print resumption unit configured to resume printing from the first page of the record including a page where a printing error occurs if the print resumption unit is instructed to resume printing after the display unit displays the message.

  • Publication number: 20120327461
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus receives print data from a client PC and analyzes a hierarchical structure relating to an item indicating a delimiter of a document included in the received print data. The image forming apparatus determines an insertion point at which an index sheet is inserted into a printed matter of the print data based on the results of analysis of the hierarchical structure. Then, the image forming apparatus inserts the index sheet into the printed matter at the determined insertion point and outputs the resulting printed matter.

  • Publication number: 20120236333
    Abstract: Attribute information representing the attributes of a printing medium is stored for each printing medium. Upon receiving a print job which designates the attributes of a printing medium, it is determined whether attribute information representing the attributes designated by the print job is stored. When it is determined that the attribute information is not stored, the attribute information representing the attributes designated by the print job is newly registered.

  • Publication number: 20120086974
    Abstract: In an image forming apparatus that registers objects designated in print jobs, whether the objects designated in the print jobs exist in the apparatus is determined. If it is determined that the objects do not exist in the apparatus, the print jobs are associated with identification information of the objects and stored as waiting jobs. When the objects are registered based on the identification information of the objects associated with the waiting jobs, printing of the stored waiting jobs starts.

  • Patent number: 7766380
    Abstract: An airbag is expanded upward on the side of a passenger from a door part. A cover body which covers the airbag is formed by overlaying an outer part made of a hard resin to an inner part made of a soft resin. A supporting piece part is protruded from the cabin external side of the inner part. A to-be-ripped part is formed on the supporting piece part. On expansion of the airbag, the to-be-ripped part is ripped, thereby allowing the door part to move rotationally on the cabin internal side. Therefore, the airbag equipped at the door part can be smoothly expanded along the side face part of the cabin. Thus, an airbag apparatus is improved in appearance.
