Abstract: An airbag device for motor vehicle, includes: an inflator arranged in an instrument panel in front of a front passenger seat and is capable of ejecting gas; a first airbag connected to the inflator at a base end side thereof and has a gas inflow hole through which gas can be flowed, the first airbag being for the front passenger seat; and a second airbag arranged on the first airbag at a side face portion close to a center in the vehicle width direction, the second airbag being adapted to communicate with the first airbag through first and second communication portions. The first communication portion is arranged proximal to the inflator than the second communication portion arranged proximal to the occupant side end. The first communication portion and the second airbag are communicated via a communication passageway, and the second communication portion and the second airbag are communicated directly.

Abstract: A light-weight and inexpensively-manufacturable case member of an airbag device is provided. The case member includes an inner portion integrally formed with an edge portion of an opening portion of a housing portion configured to internally hold a folded airbag and an inflator. A lid is fixed to a housing portion at a position where the lid at least partially covers the airbag housed in the housing portion. The opening portion is covered by an outer portion. Thus, a light-weight case member in which the inflator and the folded airbag are housed in the housing portion and covered by the lid can be manufactured inexpensively, without integration of a separately provided housing portion and lid or fixing the airbag or the inflator using an additional component.

Abstract: A vent hole communicating with an air chamber is opened in an airbag main body. A cover is disposed outside the air chamber of the airbag main body with respect to the vent hole. One end of the tether is connected to the cover via the vent hole, and the other end is connected to the airbag main body. If the tether is not pulled by the airbag main body, the vent hole is reliably opened to discharge gas to the outside. If the tether is pulled by the deployed airbag main body, the cover is partially drawn into the vent hole so that the cover is ensured to be in tight contact with the edge of the vent hole so as to reliably seal the vent hole.

Abstract: An authentication system includes a first hologram, a second hologram, a light source, and an image pickup device. In this case, the first hologram is a transmission hologram for causing interference with data of the second hologram in order to authenticate the second hologram, the second hologram is a reflection hologram to be authenticated, and light from the light source is reflected by the second hologram, the reflected light is irradiated to the first hologram as reference light for the first hologram. Diffracted light through the first hologram is acquired by the image pickup device to authenticate the second hologram.

Abstract: An occupant protection apparatus for a vehicle includes a curtain airbag device and a side airbag device. The vehicle includes a side window glass for closing from a vehicle body upper construction to a waist line of the vehicle. The curtain airbag device includes a curtain airbag and is installed at the vehicle body upper construction. The side airbag device includes a side airbag stowed at a lower level than the waist line and installed in a seat of the vehicle. Upon a side impact to the vehicle, the curtain airbag is developed downward, and the side airbag is inserted into a space between the curtain airbag and the side window glass. According to the occupant protection apparatus, development, man-hours such as adjustments of gas amounts of inflators and a production cost can be decreased in spite of the installation of at least two types of airbags.

Abstract: An air bag 1 is provided. At a vehicle side impact, the air bag 1 unfolds from an upper part of a vehicle body downwardly. The air bag 1 includes an airbag body 10 having an inside foundation cloth 8a and an outside foundation cloth 8b, and a pair of inner-cloths 19a, 19b arranged in the airbag body 10. The inside inner-cloth 19a is joined to the outside inner-cloth 19b through two inner junctions 21, 21 separated from each other in a fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle. The inner-cloths 19a, 19b have front ends, rear ends and intermediate portions between the inner junctions 21, 21, all of which are joined to the foundation cloths 8a, 8b through overlapping junctions 22a, 22b. In arrangement, the overlapping junctions 22a of the inside inner-cloth 19a are shifted from the overlapping junctions 22b of the outside inner-cloth 19b forwardly. Consequently, triple-layer tubular expansion chambers 25a, 26, 25b are defined in the airbag body 10, allowing a passenger's head to be received certainly.

Abstract: An intellectual-property accounting management device includes an acquisition price storage unit (202) for storing an acquisition price for each intellectual property, and means for updating the acquisition price in the acquisition price storage unit (202) by inputting the amount of the acquisition expense expended for acquiring a particular intellectual property to perform intellectual property accounting processing.

Abstract: An intellectual property right is listed at an appropriate price by monitoring an initial price set by a broker, and circulation of the intellectual property right is promoted. A Web site references a database including a right situation of a right to be sold and evaluation data used to evaluate the right, determines the value evaluation price of the right to be sold, acquires a listing initial price to be input according to the value evaluation price determined here, and invalidates the initial price if the initial value exceeds a predetermined upper limit price. Here, the predetermined upper limit price is calculated by ?×(1+?) wherein ? is a value evaluation price to be calculated and ? is a coefficient in a range of 0<?<1.

The electronic certificates may include financial certificates, such as a certificate of deposit and stock certificate, ticket, stamp, payment receipt, and new activated credit card. The service provider is provided with ability to directly check sufficiency of the user's printer supplies, and replenish the printer with needed supplies.

Abstract: An examining method is provided to expedite customs clearance procedures including authenticity verification of brand-name products. A writing apparatus of a company manufacturing or selling brand-name products sends information encoded using an encoding key to an ID tag assigned to the products. The ID tag stores the encoded information. An examining apparatus of an official responsible for examining the authenticity of the products receives the information from the ID tag and decodes the information using a decoding key. The decoded data and a pre-stored company code are compared to determine whether a match is found. If the products are authentic and an export license is granted, an employee of a shipping company encodes the information described in a bill of lading (B/L) and stores the encoded information in the ID tag. The B/L information is read from the ID tag and is decoded using a decoding key.

Abstract: A method and system for the online purchase of electronic information wherein electronic information is selected by an end user from an electronic database. The selected information may then be sampled by audio and/or visual means. The end user then pays for the selected electronic information. The electronic information is then received by a user printing device, which prints the electronic information on a medium such as a CD or DVD.
