Abstract: A passenger seat airbag device includes an airbag and a regulating member which regulates deploying and inflating of the airbag. The regulating member includes a temporary holding portion which includes a base portion and a cover portion arranged below the base portion and temporarily and releasably holds a folded part of the folded airbag. While the temporary holding portion rotating rearward, the folded part of the folded airbag is released from a release opening. The airbag is folded and stored in a storage part while a rear end side including a rear end of a preliminary folded airbag is arranged below the cover portion of the temporary holding portion and extends forward from the release opening.

Abstract: An airbag for a front passenger seat includes a passenger-side wall and a circumferential wall that extends forward from the passenger-side wall in a narrowing fashion. One each vent hole is formed on a left wall region and a right wall region of the circumferential wall for releasing an extra inflation gas. Each of the vent holes is formed into an elongate hole whose long axis extends generally along a direction that a passenger advances. A tether is disposed inside the airbag so as to be deployable generally along a left and right direction. The tether is disposed at such a position as to exert a tension force in a peripheral region of the vent hole in a direction generally orthogonal to the direction that the passenger advances when the passenger-side wall catches the passenger.

Abstract: A method for promoting energy saving in fluid machinery reduces electric power consumption of fluid machinery by introducing an energy-saving device such as an inverter into existing fluid machinery such as a pump. The method comprises submitting data specifying characteristics of the fluid machinery of a user to a service provider, and estimating an energy-saving effect due to introduction of an energy-saving device into the fluid machinery based on the data specifying characteristics of the fluid machinery and an energy-saving ratio predetermined according to a purpose of fluid machinery. The method further comprises selecting an effective energy-saving device to be introduced, and surveying an operating state of the fluid machinery. The method further comprises calculating an energy-saving effect based on data obtained from the survey, and offering the estimated energy-saving effect, the calculated energy-saving effect, and the selected energy-saving device.
