Patent number: 7366076Abstract: A signal can be detected based on a level slice system and detection delay time can be reduced by setting the recording density of a header field in a linear direction lower (coarse) than that of a user data recording field. Further, a signal can be detected based on the level slice system and detection delay time can be reduced by using a mark position form having a large detection margin as an information recording system of the header field. A readout error of a sector number due to a detection error is compensated for by recording address marks AM for attaining byte synchronization of the header field in both of a head portion and tail portion of information recorded in the header field.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2006Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Yutaka Okamoto, Hideo Ando, Chosaku Noda, Yutaka Kashihara

Patent number: 7357212Abstract: In a pedestrian protection airbag system, an airbag module extending in the lateral direction of a vehicle body is disposed between a rear edge of a hood and a front edge of a cowl top, thereby mounting the airbag module without affecting the intake of air into a vehicle compartment or the positioning of wipers; and the left and right ends of the airbag module are supported by upper parts of left and right front wheel damper housings, whereby the damper housings obtain a high rigidity to reliably bear a reaction force during deployment of an airbag without particularly enhancing the rigidity of the cowl top. Thus, it is possible to rigidly support the airbag module in the pedestrian protection airbag system while minimizing the influence on the shape or structure of the cowl top.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2005Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sakae Sasaki, Ken Nakane, Yutaka Okamoto, Yuji Kikuchi
