Publication number: 20240239086Abstract: The multilayer foam sheet has a surface resistivity of 1×1013? or less and has a foam layer and resin layers that are laminated on both surfaces of the foam layer. The resin layers each have a multilayer structure formed from a surface layer and an intermediate layer that is positioned between the surface layer and the foam layer. The foam layer includes a polyethylene-based resin PE2. The intermediate layers are configured from an antistatic mixture containing a polyethylene-based resin PE3 and a polymeric antistatic agent. The surface layers are configured from a mixed resin containing a polyethylene-based resin PE4 and a polystyrene-based resin, and substantially do not contain the polymeric antistatic agent. The polystyrene-based resin content of the mixed resin is 3-35 wt %.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2021Publication date: July 18, 2024Applicant: JSP CORPORATIONInventors: Ryohei TAKEUCHI, Takashi NISHIMOTO

Patent number: 11872992Abstract: In a vehicle user-assistance system, a user's voice is acquired before the user enters a vehicle, and the mental state of the user is inferred based on the acquired voice. Then, it is determined whether the inferred mental state is an irritated state compared with a criterial value. When the mental state is an irritated state, navigation that relieves irritation is proposed to the user having entered the vehicle. Thus, the user starts to travel with his or her irritation reduced or relieved.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takashi Nishimoto, Kenji Sato, Kei Yamamoto, Ryuta Yamasaki
