Abstract: An external impact avoiding part makes a sensor failure detection part withhold from determining that a right or left door pressure sensor has failed when a right-left detection difference calculated at first time is a threshold value or larger, and makes a detection value comparison part calculate the right-left detection difference again after a calming time has elapsed. An effect of closing operation of a right door on the right door pressure sensor or an effect of closing operation of a left door on the left door pressure sensor reduces during the calming time. The avoiding part subsequently makes the detection part compare the right-left detection difference calculated again with the threshold value. As a result of the comparison, when the right-left detection difference is the threshold value or larger, the avoiding part makes the detection part determine that the right or left door pressure sensor has failed.

Abstract: A printing position and cutting position adjusting method includes: printing on a medium an origin point adjusting image having multiple checking blocks using an ink-jet head; cutting the medium using a cutting head along a contour of the origin point adjusting image; removing a part of the medium cut by the cutting head from the medium; and inputting an amount of misalignment between a position at which the image is printed on the medium and a position at which the medium is cut to a controller. The amount of misalignment is inputted as a correction value between the printing position and the cutting position. The printing of the origin point adjusting image or the cutting of the medium includes a check process of producing a position shift per a predetermined dimension by each checking block in a main scanning direction or a sub scanning direction of the ink-jet head.

Abstract: A passenger protection system includes: first and second sensors that detect an impact applied to a vehicle in a width direction; a determination device that determines a collision by comparing a first detection signal from the first sensor with a first determination condition, and by comparing a second detection signal from the second sensor with a second determination condition; and a boarding position detector that detects a boarding position of a passenger. The determination device sets the first determination condition and the second determination condition according to the boarding position in such a manner that the first determination condition is different from the second determination condition.
