Patent number: 10112569Abstract: A vehicle seat with a side airbag apparatus includes a seat back having a seat frame, a side airbag apparatus having an airbag and an inflator, and an entry preventing portion. The seat frame includes a pressure receiving plate and an outer frame portion, which surrounds the pressure receiving plate. The airbag and the inflator are installed in the outer side section of the seat back. The airbag includes a main inflation portion and an auxiliary inflation portion. The auxiliary inflation portion is inflated on the front side of the pressure receiving plate prior to inflation of the main inflation portion, thereby pushing the occupant toward the inner side. The entry preventing portion prevents the auxiliary inflation portion being inflated from entering the gap between the outer frame portion and the pressure receiving plate.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: TOYODA GOSEI CO., LTD.Inventors: Takuya Hiraiwa, Yuji Sato, Minoru Ono, Takashi Iida, Masashi Hotta

Patent number: 9267828Abstract: To provide a fluid flow rate detection device which can be evaluated as adequate from a medical point of view. The velocity of a fluid flowing through a luminal organ in vivo is to be obtained. V?(r, ?)=w·V??+(1?w)·V+? is calculated to obtain a calculated value V?(r, ?) of the flow rate regarding a component of the fluid in the direction perpendicular to the ultrasonic beam direction. Here, the weight w is a value proportional to the distance d from the wall on one side of the organ at least when the distance is smaller than a predetermined distance from the wall on the one side, and the weight is a value proportional to the distance d? from the wall on the other side of the organ at least when the distance is smaller than a predetermined distance from the wall on the one other side.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2012Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignees: THE UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO, HITACHI ALOKA MEDICAL, LTD.Inventors: Minoru Ono, Keiichi Itatani, Takashi Okada
