  • Publication number: 20240123934
    Abstract: An airbag device includes an airbag that is supplied with gas generated by an inflator during a vehicle collision and that inflates and deploys from a rear side of a vehicle seat toward a front side via an upper side. In an inflated and deployed state, the airbag includes a pair of front-rear chambers extending in a seat front-rear direction via left and right sides of a head of a passenger, an airbag body that is in communication with the pair of front-rear chambers and that is disposed at a front side of the passenger between the pair of front-rear chambers, and a pair of rear tethers including one-end portions attached to the airbag body and other-end portions attached to a seatback of the vehicle seat. At least a rear tether on a side door side is configured so as to be releasable after a collision of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240123936
    Abstract: An airbag device has an airbag. The airbag has a front-rear chamber and an airbag main body. The front-rear chamber has a left and right pair of front-rear extending portions that pass by respective left and right sides of a head of a passenger and inflate and deploy toward the seat front side, and a connecting portion connecting front end portions of the pair of front-rear extending portions in a seat left-right direction. Gas is supplied to the airbag main body via a communication hole positioned at a seat rear side of the connecting portion of the front-rear chamber that has inflated and deployed. Owing to inflation and deployment of the front-rear chamber, the airbag main body passes through a gap between a ceiling of the vehicle and the head from the seat rear side toward the seat front side, and thereafter, inflates and deploys toward the seat rear side.

  • Publication number: 20240123937
    Abstract: An airbag device has an airbag. The airbag has a front-rear chamber and an airbag main body. The front-rear chamber has a left and right pair of front-rear extending portions that pass by respective left and right sides of a head of a passenger seated in a vehicle seat and inflate and deploy toward the seat front side, and a connecting portion connecting front end portions of the pair of front-rear extending portions in a seat left-right direction. The airbag main body inflates and deploys toward a side of the passenger at a seat rear side of the connecting portion, later than the front-rear chamber. At a time when the passenger is restrained, the airbag main body is compressed in a seat front-rear direction while stretching the front-rear chamber in the seat front-rear direction.

  • Patent number: 5913835
    Abstract: In a voluntary-muscle strength measurement method and a muscular tonus state judgment method, the muscle strength of a voluntary muscle and the muscular tonus state can be measured accurately and objectively. The muscle strength of a voluntary muscle as the examiner pulls apart an O-ring shape formed with the thumb and another finger of subject's hand is measured with a first sensor placed at at least one point on the two fingers forming O-ring shape, and it is detected whether or not two fingers forming O-ring shape were pulled apart with a second sensor placed between two fingers forming O-ring shape, and the muscle strength at the time two fingers forming O-ring shape were pulled apart is measured by the detected outputs of the first and second sensors. Thereby, the O-ring test can be executed accurately and the muscle strength of a voluntary muscle can be measured with high reliability.

  • Patent number: 5778237
    Abstract: A microcomputer has a clock generator capable of changing the frequency of an output clock signal: and a power circuit capable of changing the level of an operating voltage to be outputted. The frequencies of clock signals and the levels of operating voltages to be individually fed to a plurality of circuit modules can be dynamically changed according to the content of a packaged register. If the content of the register instructs the reduction of the clock signal frequency and the operating voltage in its absolute value, the operating voltage is lowered in its absolute value prior to the change in the clock signal frequency. On the contrary, if the instruction is to increase the frequency of the clock signal and the operating voltage in its absolute value, the clock signal having the increased frequency is outputted prior to the increase of the operating voltage in the absolute value.

  • Patent number: 5774701
    Abstract: A microprocessor incorporating a PLL circuit using a clock pulse having a relatively low frequency as an input clock signal of a reference frequency to form an oscillating pulse of a relatively high frequency by multiplying the input clock signal. In the microprocessor, the operation of the PLL circuit is stopped in the low-speed mode to supply the clock pulse of the relatively low frequency to the microprocessor as a system clock signal, and, in the high-speed mode, the PLL circuit is activated upon reception of an event requiring high-speed processing. Until the operation of the PLL circuit is stabilized and the request for high-speed processing comes, the above-mentioned clock pulse having the relatively low frequency is kept supplied continuously to the microprocessor as the system clock signal. This novel setup permits the high-speed switching of the microprocessor from the operating mode to the high-speed operating mode.
