Abstract: The invention provides a protective collar for use with a full-face crash helmet, particularly for use in motor sports. The collar is at least partially formed from a resilient material that in use extends peripherally entirely around a user's neck. The collar has a recess in which a lower part of the crash helmets is received and secured, and helmet retaining means (e.g loop-pile fastening strips) are provided for retaining the helmet within the recess. The recess has an upwardly facing bottom surface which abuts the lower part of the helmet and a peripherally extending, inwardly facing wall surface which extends upwardly from the bottom surface. The wall surface closely fits against the lower part of the helmet around the periphery of the helmet. The collar is shaped to limit movement, both laterally and in a fore-and-aft direction, of the wearer's head in the event of a violent acceleration or deceleration, such as may occur in an accident.

Abstract: A transmitter has a tire condition sensor, a transmission circuit, a voltage sensor and an electricity control circuit. The tire condition sensor detects the condition of a tire. The voltage sensor detects a voltage of the battery. During a period from when the tire condition sensor detects the condition of the tire to when the transmission circuit starts transmitting the data, the electricity control circuit performs a transmission preparation process to gradually increase electricity supplied to the transmission circuit from a battery, thereby gradually increasing a radio wave output of the transmission circuit. If the value of the voltage detected by the voltage sensor is lowered to a lowest operation voltage of the transmitter during the transmission preparation process, the electricity control circuit limits the supply of electricity to the transmission circuit from the battery.

Abstract: A semiconductor integrated device that resists breakage of an internal wire. An epoxy resin covers a lower surface and side surface of a semiconductor chip. An internal pad connecting an external wire and an internal wire are formed on a silicon oxide film. The internal pad is wider than the internal wire. A portion at which the internal pad and the internal wire are connected to each other is located above the semiconductor chip. The internal pad disperses stress resulting from changes in the volume of the epoxy resin caused by temperature changes. Accordingly, stress does not concentrate in the internal wire.
