Abstract: An attachment structure for installing a load sensor to a vehicle seat includes the load sensor having a plate-shaped strain unit and a strain gauge for detecting a strain of the plate-shaped strain unit. The load sensor is structured that one end of the plate-shaped strain unit is fixed to a seating portion of the vehicle seat and the other end of the strain unit is fixed to a vehicle body. Also, a strain portion is defined between each fixed end of the plate-shaped strain unit, and the strain portion is deformable in a vertical direction relative to the vehicle seat. In addition, a load input point from the seating portion is defined approximately at a central portion of the strain portion of the plate-shaped strain unit.

Abstract: A vehicle seat that detects a child restraint apparatus, which is attached to the seat by a seat belt, for operation of an air bag. A first load sensor is attached to one side of the seat to detect load and generate a first detection value. A second load sensor is attached to the seat at an opposite side of the seat to detect load and generate a second detection value. A control unit is connected to the first and second load sensors and determines whether the child restraint apparatus is present based on the first and second detection values.

Abstract: In coupling a part or component of synthetic resin mounted on a vehicle and a threaded member capable of detachably engaging with the part, the part is provided with a retaining portion for retaining at least a portion of the threaded member against rotation relative to each other, and a claw construction means capable of disengageably engaging with the threaded member so as to inhibit the separation of the threaded member from the retaining portion. With this coupling structure, the operation of molding a part of synthetic resin for a vehicle having a threaded member integrally incorporated therein can be carried out easily and a labor-saving is achieved in the operation. Further, the recycling of parts defectively formed or the like can be promoted.

Abstract: A vehicle seat that detects a child restraint apparatus, which is attached to the seat by a seat belt, for operation of an air bag. A first load sensor is attached to one side of the seat to detect load and generate a first detection value. A second load sensor is attached to the seat at an opposite side of the seat to detect load and generate a second detection value. A control unit is connected to the first and second load sensors and determines whether the child restraint apparatus is present based on the first and second detection values.

Abstract: An acceleration detecting device includes a hollow housing having a side wall, a bottom wall and an opening and a cover closing the opening of the hollow housing. A weight is pivotally mounted in the hollow housing to be rotated about a locus in response to an applied acceleration. Also positioned within the housing is a contact assembly to be electrically-closed by the rotated weight. A plastic main body is held in the hollow housing along the side wall to support the contact assembly and keep the contact assembly spaced from the locus of the weight during the rotation of the weight. The plastic main body which supports the contact assembly may have a wider support along the side wall of the hollow housing, which is independent from fixture of the cover. Therefore, the contact assembly may be supported by the hollow housing through the main body in a more reliable manner.

Abstract: The present invention provides adhesion inhibitors for suppressing the adherence between E-cadherin of glandular cells and integrin of lymphocytes. Sjogren's syndrome comprises disorders wherein secretory glands such as lacrimal gland are destroyed by autoimmunity, and the adherence of CD8.sup.+ T cells to the surface of acinar cells is observed by the immunohistological analysis of lacrimal gland from patients. Integrin on the surface of T cells and E-cadherin on the surface of acinar cells play a major role in the mechanism of adhesion between these cells, while the adherence of T cells to acinar cells is reduced using anti-E-cadherin and anti-integrin antibodies. Sjogren's syndrome, such as autoimmune adenitis, can be treated using these antibodies.

Abstract: An acceleration detecting device includes a housing, a weight pivotally mounted inside the housing for rotating along a locus in response to an applied acceleration, a spring provided between the housing and the weight to apply a biasing force to the weight against the applied acceleration, and a contact assembly located outside the locus of the weight. The contact assembly is adapted to be electrically closed by the rotation of the weight. An arc-shaped circumference of the weight maintains the same distance between the weight and the contact assembly during the rotation of the weight. When an excessive acceleration is applied to the device, the weight rotates from an initial position against the biasing force of the spring to electrically close the contact assembly. The weight is returned to the initial position by the biasing force of the spring to electrically open the contact assembly when the excess acceleration is no longer present.

The carrier gas blower is provided, for example, at the center of the upper internal surface of the sealed container and blows the carrier gas radially at an initial velocity directed at least to the upper internal surface side of the sealed container. The carrier gas blower can include a gas blow tube which is communicated with a gas feed tube and has a plurality of gas outlets formed on the top face side of the gas blow tube.

Abstract: Applying a first light (.lambda.=950 nm) to a Si wafer to generate electron-hole pairs, a microwave is emitted to the Si wafer and the amount of reflection of the microwave is measured. In like manner, applying a second light (.lambda.=633 nm), the amount of reflection of the microwave is measured. The two amounts are normalized by intensities of the lights respectively. In order to cancel an error resulting from geometrical position between a measuring apparatus and the Si wafer, a normalized finite difference is calculated through subtraction between the normalized amounts. The difference may be obtained by another calculation so that it stays in a specified width when a uniformly doped Si wafer is measured.
