Abstract: An airbag 33 has a plurality of vertical inflatable cells 37 to 40 each serving as an inflatable portion and non-inflatable portions 41, 45, each of which is arranged between a corresponding adjacent pair of the vertical inflatable cells 37 to 40 and formed by a fabric sheet 34B. The vertical inflatable cells 37 to 40 are deployed and inflated by inflation gas at positions beside corresponding headrests 14L, 14R of the rearmost seat. In contrast, the non-inflatable portions 41, 45 deploy behind the headrests 14L, 14R without inflating. The vertical inflatable cells 37 to 40 include vertical inflatable cells 38, 39 located at the center of the direction of the width of the vehicle and side vertical inflatable cells 37, 40 arranged at both sides of the direction of the width of the vehicle.

Abstract: A rear-impact airbag apparatus for use in a vehicle has an inflator and an airbag accommodated in an accommodation portion formed in the roof of the vehicle. When supplied with gas from the inflator, the airbag pops out of the accommodation portion and is inflated and deployed. A lateral inflatable cell and a pair of left and right vertical inflatable cells are defined in the airbag. The lateral inflatable cell guides gas from the inflator to flow outward in the vehicle width direction. Each vertical inflatable cell guides gas flowing therein from a corresponding end of the lateral inflatable cell to flow substantially downward. The gas flowing path cross-sectional area of a boundary between the lateral inflatable cell and each vertical inflatable cell is larger than the gas flowing path cross-sectional area of the lateral inflatable cell.

Abstract: Location positioning setting information is read from a setting storage section when the user depressed a power key. The location positioning setting information comprises setting information, such as the maximum duration time of the location positioning operation and the operation timing when a power-off event has been generated. A control section turns off the power of a display section, a speaker, a microphone, etc., excluding a communication function for transmitting location positioning and positioning results. In this state, a location positioning section acquires the positional information of the mobile communication terminal. Then, a wireless communication section transmits the location positioning information of the positioned mobile communication terminal to a predetermined monitoring server which manages the positional information of the mobile communication terminal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a pile board for a printing press, waste-free and easy to handle. The sheet pile board 1 comprises a base 10 formed with a resin having a piling face 12 on which said printing media are piled up, and grooves 11 formed on said piling face and insertable of a supporting member to support said printing media, and a metallic reinforcing member 20 provided in said base 10. The sheet pile board 1, wherein the base 10 is formed with resin, is lower in strength of the base 10 itself than that of a wooden base, but is significantly strengthened because four metallic pipes 20 are buried in the rear face. Even when piling up a large quantity of heavy printing media, the sheet pile board 1 is properly piled with them and supports them without bending.

Abstract: An airbag apparatus has an airbag body, which is arranged between a roof panel and a roof head lining of a vehicle and held in a folded state. The airbag body also has a second bolt, a fixed piece, and a folded portion. The airbag body is fixed to a guide portion of an inner panel by the second bolt. The fixed piece is fixed by the second bolt. The folded portion extends from the fixed piece and is maintained in a folded state. The airbag body also includes a binding tape and a restricting plate. The binding tape binds the folded portion together and releases the folded portion when the airbag body is deployed and inflated. The restricting plate ensures an open space below the folded portion and restricts downward displacement of the folded portion when the airbag body 13 is fixed to the guide portion.

Abstract: A plurality of divided exposure images (first to fourth images) are obtained by dividing a normal exposure time. By an image matching method, a motion detection circuit calculates a plurality of cumulative total correlation values between different divided exposure images, and searches the plurality of cumulative total correlation values for the smallest cumulative total correlation value, thereby calculating a motion vector between the different divided exposure images. In addition, based on the level of the smallest cumulative total correlation value, the level of reliability B[i] indicating the accuracy of the motion vector is calculated. An image combining circuit uses the level of reliability B[i] as a mixture proportion. The image combining circuit positions the divided exposure images based on the motion vector, and combines the divided exposure images together one on top of another in mixture proportions (B[i]), so as to form one still image that suffers less from camera shake.
