  • Patent number: 11850986
    Abstract: The present invention provides a headrest that is low-cost but still provides impact mitigation performance, and a vehicle seat having this headrest. A headrest of a vehicle seat includes: a headrest frame that is formed of at least one plate material and is fixed to a seatback frame of the vehicle seat; a pad that covers the headrest frame; and a skin that covers the pad. A contact section is provided at the lower part of the headrest frame, said lower part being located on the seatback-frame side, and the contact section is located closer to the rear surface of the headrest than the upper part of the headrest frame is, said upper part being located on the opposite side to the seatback-frame side.

  • Patent number: 7668091
    Abstract: In transmission of data to a receiving terminal, loss of packets is prevented even when the processing capacity of the receiving terminal is low. A necessity-of-adjustment determining module determines whether a receiving terminal, specified as the destination of each transmission unit of packets received from a packetizer module, needs adjustment of transmission intervals, on the basis of a necessity-of-adjustment table which is a list of receiving terminals which need adjustment of transmission intervals. If it is determined that the receiving terminal needs adjustment of transmission intervals, the one transmission unit of packets is transferred to a transmission interval adjustment module. The transmission interval adjustment module adjusts the packet-to-packet transmission intervals for the received one transmission unit of packets and transmits the packets included in the one transmission unit of packets, packet by packet, at the adjusted transmission intervals over a network via a transmission module.

  • Publication number: 20070174914
    Abstract: Data coordination is performed between a source application program and a destination application program in an information processing terminal. A virus pattern file and a data string pattern file are prepared in advance. A virus detecting program is used to detect a virus based on the virus pattern file and to look for a specific data string based on the data string pattern file in a data created by the source application program before storing the data. If the specific data string is found in the data, that data string and path of the data is informed to the destination application program.
