Abstract: An X-ray generator 110 irradiates with an X-ray beam onto a polycrystalline sample on a sample stage 113. An X-ray detector 116 including an array of X-ray detecting elements detects the intensities of diffracted X-rays which occur from the X-ray beam incident on the sample. A rotary drive rotates the X-ray generator, X-ray detector and sample-holding section so as to maintain a predetermined relationship between the angle formed by the sample surface and the incident X-ray beam, and the angle formed by the sample surface and the diffracted X-ray travelling toward the X-ray detector. A stress measurement section rotates, for a measurement of a stress value of the sample, either the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector or the sample stage so as to change the angle formed by the sample surface and the incident X-ray beam, while maintaining the positional relationship of the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector.

Abstract: A collision sensor 1 is mounted on a pedal bracket 2 which are supported by a front frame 4, a front mount rail 5, and a reinforce 8 which are all located in front of the cab. The collision sensor 1 is connected through a cable 24 to the gas generator 21 of a pretensioner seat belt 16 and to the inflator 23 of an air bag 17. The pedal bracket 2, being high in rigidity, senses a shock wave well, and is scarcely damaged at the time of a collision. Since it is not exposed directly in the air, it is high in weather resistance, and is proper in maintenance because it is located at the position to which the hand can be readily extended. Thus, at the time of a collision, the degree of injury to the passenger is minimized.
