  • Patent number: 11926319
    Abstract: A driving monitoring device (100) decides an applicable collision pattern that applies to a collision pattern of a case where a vehicle (200) collides with a mobile object, based on a velocity vector of the vehicle, a velocity vector of the mobile object, and so on. Subsequently, the driving monitoring device calculates a time until collision, which is a time taken until the vehicle collides with the mobile object, in the applicable collision pattern. Then, the driving monitoring device calculates a danger level of an accident in which the vehicle collides with the mobile object, based on the applicable collision pattern and the time until collision.

  • Publication number: 20220280064
    Abstract: Aspects of the of the disclosure relate to a non-contact physiological motion sensor and a monitor device that can incorporate use of the Doppler effect. A continuous wave of electromagnetic radiation can be transmitted toward one or more subjects and the Doppler-shifted received signals can be digitized and/or processed subsequently to extract information related to the cardiopulmonary motion in the one or more subjects. The extracted information can be used, for example, to determine apneic events and/or snoring events and/or to provide apnea or snoring therapy to subjects when used in conjunction with an apnea or snoring therapy device. In addition, methods of use are disclosed for sway cancellation, realization of cessation of breath, integration with multi-parameter patient monitoring systems, providing positive providing patient identification, or any combination thereof.

  • Patent number: 8919825
    Abstract: A bite-in type pipe connection structure is provided, the pipe connection structure being capable of, even if piping connection work is performed with a length of piping inserted insufficiently, minimizing deterioration of air-tightness at the joint portion, at which the piping is connected, due to an offset load acting on the piping. Also provided are a valve, a bite-in type pipe joint, and a refrigeration device using the bite-in type pipe connection structure. A ferrule is provided with: a low-strength portion which, when a coupling member becomes fastened to a joint body by manually rotating the coupling member, allows the distal end portion of the ferrule to deform so that the distal end portion restrains a length of piping which is to be connected; a level changing portion which connects a front tapered surface, which corresponds to the low-strength portion, and a rear tapered surface; and a rearward portion which is adjacent to the low-strength section.

  • Patent number: 8910703
    Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a plurality of flat tubes and at least one wavily folded fin disposed between a pair of the flat tubes. The fin includes a heat transfer portion having a folded portion joined to a planar portion of each of the pair of flat tubes, and a cut-and-raised portion. The cut-and-raised portion is formed by raising a periphery of a cutting line segment when a material of the fin is wavily folded. The cutting line segment is set in a vicinity of a hypothetical center line of the folded portion before the material of the fin is wavily folded. The cutting line segment is formed by a combination of cutting line segments intersecting with the hypothetical center line, or a combination of a cutting line segment intersecting with the hypothetical center line and a cutting line segment displaced with respect to the hypothetical center line.

  • Publication number: 20140353969
    Abstract: A tube connection structure includes a joint body and a coupling member. The coupling member has a fastening part threaded with the joint body and a tool-engaging part gripable with a fastening tool. The coupling member and the joint body are-configured such that the tool-engaging part is separated from the fastening part after the coupling member is mounted to the joint body. The joint body and the coupling member have a threading contact part. The components of the threaded contact part are in contact with each other so that the threading of the coupling member over the joint body is limited before the tool-engaging part is separated from the fastening part.

  • Patent number: 8262135
    Abstract: A duplex pipe fitting includes a fitting main body 1 and a pair of coupling members 2 which are threaded to both ends of the fitting main body 1. The coupling members 2 are threaded to the fitting main body 1, so that two pipes P are connected to each other with the fitting main body 1. Each coupling member 2 includes a holding portion 24 including a holding surface consisting of a pair of or a plurality of pairs of planes facing each other so that it can be held with a general fastening tool. When a rotational torque for tightening the coupling member 2 to the fitting main body 1 reaches a value indicating the completion of fastening, at least a part of the holding portion including the holding surface is separated and the pipe connecting is complete.

  • Patent number: 8146953
    Abstract: To mount a partition cover (2) in a pipe joint (1), a nut (12) is screwed onto a joint body (11) to sandwich the partition cover (2) between the joint body and the nut. At this time, the partition cover is supported so as not to press a sleeve (13). As such, an opening (1a) of the pipe joint is sealed while preventing the sleeve from being deformed due to the partition cover being mounted.
