  • Patent number: 7438311
    Abstract: A reliable hose for introduction and distribution of inflator gas improves the storing properties of an air bag device for side collision, reduces storing space, is advantageous in terms of cost, and has enough strength. A hose made of woven fabric for introduction and distribution of inflator gas is arranged in an air bag device for side collision and has one or more distributing hole(s) for introduction and distribution of gas from an inflator to the inner area of an air bag upon actuation of the air bag. On the side containing said distributing hole, there is a non-tubular portion which projects from a hose tubular portion to the outside of an opposite side to the tubular portion.

  • Patent number: 6892767
    Abstract: A compact, economical air bag fabric of low air permeability and light mass is realized by a thermoplastic fiber fabric having a distribution of pores formed by the fibers constructing the fabric, that is, the pore distribution of 2.0 or smaller and air permeability of 2.5 L/cm2/min or lower. By setting a permeating deformation index PI of the thermoplastic fiber to 0.1 to 0.6 and the air permeability of the fabric at the differential pressure of 20 kPa to 1.0 (L/cm2/min) or lower, an economical uncoated air bag fabric of which air permeability is low but increases under the high differential pressure condition in the latter period of development is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20030148683
    Abstract: A compact, economical air bag fabric of low air permeability and light mass (METSUKE) is realized by a thermoplastic fiber fabric having a distribution of pores formed by the fibers constructing the fabric, that is, the pore distribution of 2.0 or smaller and air permeability of 2.5 L/cm2/min or lower. By setting a permeating deformation index PI of the thermoplastic fiber to 0.1 to 0.6 and the air permeability of the fabric at the differential pressure of 20 kPa to 1.0 (L/cm2/min) or lower, an economical uncoated air bag fabric of which air permeability is low but increases under the high differential pressure condition in the latter period of development is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6182709
    Abstract: An uncoated woven fabric for air bags of motor vehicles which is produced by weaving a fabric; subjecting the woven fabric to a shrinkage step in boiling water; and then subjecting the woven fabric thus treated to a step for drying and finishing.

  • Patent number: 4467371
    Abstract: For use in pre-editing a video tape, an original video tape is prepared by automatically recording successive scene numbers on a video tape in correspondence to the respective scenes being recorded on the tape. As the scenes are displayed in combination with the scene numbers, those of successive numbers preliminarily recorded on a card in one-to-one correspondence to the scene numbers are marked, which correspond to the scenes to be selected. The marked numbers are read while signals representative of the scenes and the scene numbers are reproduced from the original video tape. Each time correspondence between the marked numbers and the reproduced scene numbers is detected, scenes corresponding to the detected scene numbers are automatically transferred to another video tape to thereby complete the scene-selected video tape. The scene numbers may be recorded on the cue track to be visually displayed as successive numerals together with the corresponding scenes.

  • Patent number: 4389678
    Abstract: A time base corrector (TBC) for a special-motion video reproduction system employing a helical-scan VTR generates write-in address data synchronized to the reproduced digital data and stores the digital data in a digital memory in accordance with the generated write-in address. When the reproducing head jumps vertically, i.e. perpendicular to the data track, the currently-generated write-in address is latched. In response to a reference signal, the latched data is transferred to a read-out address counter for generating a read-out line address, and the stored video signal is then read out of the digital memory under control of the read-out address data.

  • Patent number: 4373168
    Abstract: Disclosed is a digital time-base corrector (TBC) capable of correcting not only time-base fluctuation (jitter) but also a time-base change contained in a VTR-reproduced television video signal which experiences large changes in the horizontal scanning period during, for example, special-motion reproduction. The leading edge of a horizontal sync pulse is delayed by a variable delay means, and gate pulse is produced from the delayed leading edge and non-delayed trailing edge of the sync pulse. The delay time is controlled in response to the pulse width of the gate pulse. A burst gate pulse is produced from the trailing edge of the gate pulse. The burst gate pulse gates the video signal to extract a color burst, which is used to produce a clock pulse. The video signal is converted into a digital signal and stored in a digital memory in response to the clock pulse.

  • Patent number: 4314284
    Abstract: An improved video head deflection apparatus for special speed motion reproduction by a helical scan video tape recorder. The rotary head of the recorder is mounted so that it is displaceable in a direction perpendicular to its path of rotation. The deflection apparatus includes a coil assembly and a magnetic element, one of which is fixedly mounted, the other of which is mounted to the rotating head. The coil and magnetic element are used to deflect the head when the coil is electrically energized.
