Abstract: A motion editing system for a robot in which the motion of a robot edited is corrected as the movements performed by an actual robot are checked. An optional range of motion data is reproduced using an actual robot. At this time, an output from each sensor mounted to the actual robot, that is, the sensor information, is transmitted to the motion editing system. The robot's movements are evaluated on the motion editing system based on the sensor information acquired during motion reproduction. If, as a result of the robot's movements, a predetermined evaluation criterium is not met, the motion correction processing is carried out. If the predetermined evaluation criterium is met, a motion data file, in which is embedded the reference sensor information, is formulated.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling an output of an air bag device (30) such that the output is made relatively high when a deceleration value (GF) detected by a floor sensor (14) disposed in a central portion of a vehicle body is higher than a threshold which changes with a velocity (?GF·dt) which is obtained as a time integral of the deceleration value (GF). The threshold is changed from a normally selected high value to a low value when one of two deceleration values (GSL, GSR) detected by respective two satellite sensors (16, 18) disposed in front left and right portions of the vehicle body has reached a threshold value which changes with the velocity (?GF·dt).

Abstract: A chassis attachable to a fifth wheel of a tractor for hauling a freight container has a variable height gooseneck assembly for accommodating either a standard or a reduced tunnel depth freight container seatable on the chassis. The variable height gooseneck assembly includes a longitudinally extending gooseneck beam and a plate movable to a first position above the longitudinally extending gooseneck beam to support a standard tunnel depth freight container. A plate support element is movably connected to the plate and the longitudinally extending gooseneck beam, the plate support element being configured to move the plate to a second position that allows supported positioning on the gooseneck assembly of a reduced tunnel depth container.

Abstract: A height adjuster (10) for a shoulder belt (26) includes a base (20) which is mountable on a vehicle body and has a plurality of apertures (58). A carriage mechanism (80) is slidable along the base (20) and carries a belt guide (82). A latch mechanism (84) also is carried on the carriage mechanism (80). The latch mechanism (84) includes a latch member (190) which is pivotable about a first axis (210) relative to the carriage mechanism (80). The latch member (190) has an end portion (196) receivable in one of the apertures (58) for blocking movement of the carriage mechanism (80) relative to the base (20). At least one manually engageable release lever (240) is carried on the carriage mechanism (80) and is pivotable about a second axis (264) transverse to the first axis (210).
