Patent number: 7007971Abstract: A gas generator is provided in which partitions for forming a plurality of gas-generation chambers are easily mounted. A detonator disposed in a booster tube is ignited by an initiator for the booster tube. A gas-generating agent disposed above or below a partition plate reacts to the reaction gas from the detonator, and a gas passes through a filter and is ejected through gas outlets. Booster tubes include larger diameter portions at the upper portions of the booster tubes, and smaller diameter portions at the lower portions of the booster tubes. The larger diameter portions are formed in a diameter-enlarging process. During formation of the gas generator, the booster tubes are individually inserted into holes of the partition plate from the smaller diameter portions of the booster tubes.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2002Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Takata CorporationInventor: Koji Koga

Patent number: 6950746Abstract: An navigation apparatus records a deviation point as a new search point for activating a rerouting function during a route guidance process. When the deviation point exists along or near a set route, it is predicted that a vehicle will travel away from the set route at the deviation point. When a current location is within a predetermined distance from the deviation point, the rerouting function is activated to automatically search for a new route starting from the deviation point.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2002Date of Patent: September 27, 2005Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Kenichiro Yano, Motoyuki Yamashita, Koji Koga, Motohiko Takayanagi

Patent number: 6648370Abstract: A gas generating apparatus is provided which includes a plurality of combustion chambers and a filter chamber. The filter chamber contains a filter which includes a region which is not substantially heated by combustion gases generated by one combustion chamber and which receives combustion gases subsequently generated in another combustion chamber. In this fashion, a high gas cooling efficiency is achieved. The gas generating apparatus has an upwardly-opening vessel-shaped base and a downwardly-opening vessel-shaped cup which when combined form an outer shell of combustion chambers. A filter cap is fixed to the upper side of the cup, thereby defining the filter chamber. A first combustion chamber is positioned outside a pipe through the base and a second combustion chamber is formed inside the pipe. A foil on the inner surface of the filter chamber prevents combustion gases emitted by one combustion chamber entering another combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 18, 2003Assignee: Takata CorporationInventors: Koji Koga, Tsuneo Chikaraishi
