  • Publication number: 20180126942
    Abstract: A vehicle occupant protection device includes an airbag constructed as an integrated bag body that is deployable in an area including a front side of a head portion of a vehicle occupant, and in an area including both left and right sides of the head portion of the vehicle occupant, and an airbag case. The airbag case includes a box-shaped case main body provided on a seat rear side of a headrest main body, in which the airbag is housed in a folded state, and that inflates and deploys the airbag from an upper portion of the case main body during an inflation and deployment of the airbag, and a reaction force plate that is provided in a lower portion side of the case main body and inside the case main body, and that supports the airbag from the seat rear side during the inflation and deployment of the airbag.

  • Patent number: 9286062
    Abstract: A structure analysis device comprises a storage means wherein modules are stored, and an analysis means for carrying out a structural analysis of a prescribed subject module of the modules which are stored in the storage means. If a hierarchical structure of a first subject range and a hierarchical structure of a second subject range of the subject module are the same, the analysis means creates similarity notification information in association with the first subject range and/or the second subject range. The first subject range and the second subject range are respectively different subject ranges of the subject ranges of the subject modules which are acquired from the storage means. The similarity notification information denotes that respectively similar subject ranges are present in the subject module.

  • Patent number: 9128807
    Abstract: A device supporting the structural analysis of a module comprises: a storage means storing at least one module; and a conversion means that converts a prescribed target module among the modules stored by the storage means to a secondary module and stores same in the storage means. The conversion means reads the target module from the storage means and sequentially outputs to the secondary module each sentence written from a prescribed processing start location in the target module to a prescribed processing end location. The conversion means also recursively develops a sentence written in processing units etc., for execution, and outputs same to the secondary module, when the sentence is a module internal processing unit or a sentence that executes another module.
