Patent number: 11518337Abstract: An airbag comprises an inside base cloth, an outside base cloth, and a regulating member (tether) provided between these. The regulating member is respectively joined to front and rear portions of the inside base cloth at front-side and rear-side joint portions. The longitudinal length between the front-side and rear-side joint portions of the regulating member is shorter than that between the front-side and rear-side joint portions of the inside base cloth. The rear-side joint portion is positioned on a forward side of a front end portion of a side frame (a first side frame) but on a rearward side of an imaginary line connecting a hip point and a center position of a shoulder portion of a human body dummy for side-collision test (AM50) seated in a vehicle seat in a side view. A back-portion protection area of the airbag is constituted by a part of the inside base cloth.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventor: Masato Hoshino

Publication number: 20210085334Abstract: Disclosed are example embodiments of an endovascular coil having a twisted figure 8 shape. The endovascular coil includes: a first loop; a second loop; and an inflection region where a portion of the first loop transitions into a portion of the second loop. The second loop is rotated about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the first loop to create the twisted figure 8 shape. The twist adds more randomness and variability to the filling behavior of the endovascular coil. The added randomness and variability enables the twisted figure 8 coil to better fill the void of irregular-shaped aneurysms than other conventional embolic coils.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2020Publication date: March 25, 2021Inventors: John Thao To, Ryan Masato Hoshino, Teresa Ruvalcaba

Publication number: 20110165195Abstract: A mucosal absorption-enhancing agent is provided that enables oral, nasal or pulmonary administration of peptide drugs whose administration route has heretofore been limited to the injections due to their poor absorption from the mucosa. Specifically, the mucosal absorption of peptide drugs via intestinal, pulmonary or nasal route can be enhanced by allowing the peptide drugs with the C-terminal fragment (C-CPE) of an enterotoxin (CPE) produced by the bacterium Clostridium perfringens of the genus Clostridium, in particular with the C-CPE or its mutants resulting from the substitution and/or deletion of one or several amino acid residues of the C-CPE to act thereon. The composition for mucosal administration of the present invention significantly enhances absorption of peptide drugs, such as human parathyroid hormone hPTH(1-34), human ghrelin and human motilin, through the mucosa of small intestine, lung, nasal cavity and other mucosa.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: Asubio Pharma Co., LtdInventors: Masuo Kondoh, Hiroshi Uchida, Takeshi Hanada, Masato Hoshino

Patent number: 6736109Abstract: A knock control system is configured to precisely determine situations in which the knock signal cannot be detected and to suppress the occurrence of reductions in fuel efficiency, exhaust performance, and output performance. The knock control system has a knock sensor that detects an engine knocking condition to produce a knock signal of a prescribed level and a variable valve mechanism that can change the intake valve closing timing. Based on the ratio of the estimated knock signal during knocking to the estimated noise signal during no knocking, the knock control system determines if an accurate knock signal can be detected. The knock control system also determines if the valve seating position corresponding to the intake valve closing timing is within the knock detection interval and, if so, the estimated mechanical noise component of the estimated noise signal is updated.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2003Date of Patent: May 18, 2004Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masato Hoshino

Patent number: 6718920Abstract: A camshaft rotational phase detecting apparatus for an engine provided with a variable valve timing control mechanism which controls a camshaft rotational phase of an engine valve to a target camshaft rotational phase by varying a rotational phase of a camshaft relative to a crankshaft. The camshaft rotational phase detecting apparatus is configured to detect a camshaft rotational phase as a detected camshaft rotational phase based on a signal from a sensor. In the apparatus, the detected camshaft rotational phase is substituted with a maintained rotational phase for a predetermined period and is substituted with a target camshaft rotational phase after a lapse of the predetermined period, when the camshaft rotational phase is not detected. In the apparatus, the maintained rotational phase is set corresponding to the detected camshaft rotational phase detected before a timing that the camshaft rotational phase is not detected.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2002Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masato Hoshino, Yoshiaki Yoshioka, Tetsuya Iwasaki
