Abstract: A collision determination apparatus to be mounted in a vehicle includes a wiring substrate, a first acceleration sensor, a second acceleration sensor, an analog-to-digital converter, and a central processing unit. The wiring substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite from each other. The first acceleration sensor is mounted on one of the first surface and the second surface. The second acceleration sensor is mounted on the other one of the first surface and the second surface in a state where the second acceleration sensor is rotated 90 degrees with respect to the first acceleration sensor. The analog-to-digital converter converts an analog signal from the first acceleration sensor or the second acceleration sensor to a digital signal. The central processing unit determines a collision by an arithmetic processing of the digital signal.

Abstract: An absorbent member (10) of the invention has a hydrophilic continuous fiber web (12) and lumpy particles of an absorbent polymer (13) held in the web (12). The absorbent polymer (13) is localized in part in a planar or thickness direction of the absorbent member (10). The continuous fibers in a region (M) in a planar direction of the web (12) where the absorbent polymer is distributed are in a state cut into a large number of staple fibers (122). A method of producing an absorbent member includes the step of spreading lumpy particles of an absorbent polymer (13) on a continuous fiber web (12) and pressing the continuous fibers in part of the web (12) onto the absorbent polymer (13) to cut the continuous fibers.
