  • Patent number: 9821756
    Abstract: A buckle device includes: a buckle body that retains a tongue through which a webbing worn across an occupant is inserted; a fixing plate that is fixed to a vehicle seat; a wire harness that is connected to the buckle body; and a coupling webbing that is formed in a belt shape and that couples the buckle body and the fixing plate together. The buckle device further includes a boot that covers the coupling webbing in a state in which a part of the wire harness is disposed inside the boot, and that includes a projection shaped portion that restricts movement of the wire harness in the width direction of the coupling webbing.

  • Publication number: 20120125770
    Abstract: A hydrogen gas sensor comprising a detection electrode, a reference electrode, and an electrolyte contacting with these electrodes, in which the reference electrode and the detection electrode are composed of a material having a property that hydrogen molecule doesn't voluntarily dissociate into atomic hydrogen on a surface of the electrode in Standard State such as nickel, titanium, copper, tungsten and the like, in which hydrogen gas is detected by an electromotive force generated between the reference electrode and the detection electrode while at least the detection electrode is maintained at a temperature not less than a temperature that hydrogen molecule begins to dissociate into atomic hydrogen voluntarily on the surface of the detection electrode.

  • Patent number: 8097136
    Abstract: A first electrode and a second electrode are provided, and an electrolyte is disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are made of corresponding different materials in chemical potential for hydrogen gas. The first electrode includes higher chemical potential material and the second electrode includes lower chemical potential material. The first electrode functions as a detecting electrode for hydrogen gas, and the second electrode functions as a standard electrode for the hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas is detected on an electromotive force generated between the first electrode and the second electrode.
