Patent number: 9266486Abstract: An energy absorbing member is fixed to a vehicle body. A joint has in a state where the longitudinal direction thereof extends along the front-back direction of the vehicle. Proximal and distal ends of the joint are respectively connected to the member and a bumper beam. The joint causes a collision load from the hamper beam to the vehicle body to act upon the member while collapsing in the longitudinal direction. A distal end has an inclined shape such that a distance from the member deceases gradually from the center toward the outside in the width direction of the vehicle. The distal end has a gradual increase region where a width in the height direction of the vehicle increases gradually and a gradual decrease region where the width in the height direction of the vehicle decreases gradually, from the center toward the outside in the width direction of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: FUJI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Junya Iino, Wataru Kato, Isamu Nagasawa, Satoshi Ikeda

Publication number: 20150124110Abstract: To enable satisfactory simultaneous and widely varied pictures to be obtained, for example, by allowing a common user to obtain an overall picture while the common user performing desired image capturing, or the like. A first image capturing device image-captures a subject to record this image, and also transmits a trigger signal to a second image capturing device. The second image capturing device image-captures an image to record this image in accordance with the trigger signal. Thus, the first and second image capturing devices enable both of an overall image and a zoomed image to be obtained with simultaneous timing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2015Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventors: Kotaro KASHIWA, Kazuyuki Marukawa, Wataru Kato, Yukihiro Ozheki
