  • Publication number: 20220222725
    Abstract: To easily know how much a health-related countermeasure product has a countermeasure effect level, and how much countermeasure can be taken against regional weather environment forecast information. A two-dimensional code 1 incorporating countermeasure effect level information for each health-related countermeasure category is attached to a product. On the other hand, there is a mobile terminal device 2 capable of automatically inputting the planned activity amount in exercise and work, the physical condition status, the pulse rate, and the body temperature. The health-related countermeasures information processing equipment 3 connected to the communication network also obtains weather information such as temperature, humidity and heat index, ultraviolet rays, and pollen scattering amount for each region from the weather forecast prediction data transmission device 4. Then, the necessary countermeasure level is generated.

  • Patent number: 5184832
    Abstract: The present invention provides an automobile which offers air resistance and lift which are lower than those for a conventional automobile, yet which is hardly changed in its external appearance. The reducing means includes over each front wheel 19 an air passage 4 formed as a hollow 1 made by recessing a body panel located above the wheel, the air passage 4 having an air inlet 2 at its front and an air outlet 3 at its rear. Air current flows smoothly through the hollow 1 located above the front wheel to the air outlet 3 which is on the same level at or located at a higher position than the air inlet 2, thereby reducing air resistance and lift to levels which are lower than those for the conventional automobile. In one aspect of the invention, the air passage 4 is covered by a bonnet 16, other outer shell portions, and a pivotally secured reverse lift plate 5 or a reverse lift member 12 is included.

  • Patent number: 4951994
    Abstract: An air-dam skirt is suspended from a car body (4) in a floating state by resilient members (3), and guide members (5) and regulating members (6) projecting vertically from the car body (4) or the air-dam skirt (1) into mutual sliding meshing contact with one another to move vertically in a predetermined orbit. Inverse lifting plates (15) or bottom inverse lifting plates (16) reliably lower the air-dam skirt (1) in front of the front wheels when it is necessary to prevent lifting. The base of each guide member (5) or regulating member (6) is fitted movably and is fixed by a shock absorbing member (17) so as to protect the air-dam skirt (1) against breakage.

  • Patent number: 4379582
    Abstract: The device of this invention comprises an air induction passage for directing air upwardly rearwardly and a planar anti-lift member. The device is mounted at the front bumper, near a headlamp, or at rear bumper, or air dam skirts or at the rear of the radiator grille without substantial alterations of the vehicle's general contour lines. An anti-lift thrust is generated by lowering the point at which the front airstream splits up into an upper stream which moves over the upper surface of the vehicle and a lower stream which moves below the bottom of the vehicle, whereby the vehicle's power of adherence to the ground at the front wheels is increased. The vehicle's adherence power at the rear wheels is also increased by directing the airstream flowing below the vehicle bottom surface upwardly rearwardly of the vehicle. The impact absorbing capability of the vehicle is increased by forming the air induction passage with a resilient material to make the air passage act as an impact absorbing member.
