Abstract: To enable vibration conditions of a measured object to be measured with high accuracy independently of a laser oscillating wavelength. A vibration measuring means includes a laser resonator for oscillating a laser beam and generating beat waves through self-mixture of a returning beam obtained when the oscillated emitted beam is reflected by the measured object with a beam oscillated and emitted when the returning beam is received, a modulated beat frequency generation controller 8 for providing the beat waves with a modulated beat frequency that is higher than a Doppler frequency that is superposed on the returning beam while varying depending on a speed of the measured object, and a signal processor 21 for executing signal processing on the beat waves generated by the self-mixture in the laser resonator and outputting a result of the processing as vibration information.

Abstract: The invention involves: a voxel data reading process (step S1) used to read voxel data on the shape of an object of analysis that is defined by the groups of rectangles of voxels; a boundary determination process used to determine whether each voxel contained in the voxel data, which is read in the voxel data reading process S1, belongs to a boundary separating the inside from the outside of the shape of the above-mentioned object of analysis; a connected voxel determination process (step S2) used to recursively determine whether the voxel at each level is connected to the other voxel that is determined to belong to the boundary in the boundary determination process; and a voxel redefinition process used to redefine each voxel, at each level in the groups determined in the above-mentioned connected voxel determination process S2, to the voxel at each level several times wider than the rectangle of a voxel determined to belong to the boundary in the above-mentioned boundary determination process.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a useful improvement in a seat belt mount mechanism for use in an automotive vehicle of the type that an anchor plate adapted to support a shoulder anchor for holding the seat belt extending through an opening defined therein is mounted operatively to a door sash element of the vehicle body by way of a fixing bracket, wherein there is provided an elongated portion extending outwardly from the lower end of the anchor plate, upon which the elongated portion the shoulder anchor is held operatively, whereby it is feasible in practice to bring the mount for the shoulder anchor as far behind as possible of the door sash element, and consequently, the seat belt may serve more effectively in function to forcibly catch a driver or passengers therein. With this arrangement, it is possible in practice to make the anchor plate and the fixing bracket small and compact in construction, accordingly.

Abstract: A seat construction for a vehicle includes a driver's seat angularly movable about a generally vertical axis toward a door opening formed in a side portion of a vehicle body. When a sliding driver door is opened, the driver's seat is angularly moved toward the door opening, so that the driver can easily get in and off the vehicle. An open area of the door opening, available when the sliding driver door is opened, is disposed slightly forwardly, and therefore the angle of angular movement of the driver's seat required for the driver to get in and off the vehicle can be relatively small.
