Abstract: A process for producing an aliphatic polyester by subjecting a cyclic ester to ring-opening polymerization, which comprises adding water to a cyclic ester purified to the extent that a water content is at most 60 ppm to control an overall proton concentration in the cyclic ester, thereby controlling at least one physical property among melt viscosity, molecular weight and yellowness index of the resulting aliphatic polyester.

Abstract: An airbag cover has lid portions which are opened by a breakable portion being broken when the airbag cover is pushed by an airbag which is being inflated and is formed from a synthetic resin by molding into a single layered airbag cover. A breakable portion on a distal side of the lid portions is formed as a distal edge straight section through cutting operation which utilizes a cutting blade. The part is formed by providing a thick portion and a thin portion so that a maximum change rate which is a rate of difference between a maximum value and a minimum value based on the maximum value is made to be 15% or more without providing at both ends of a sectional area change curve marked by plotting along the part values of sectional areas of a segment of 50 mm along the part an area where the values of the sectional areas are reduced from a center towards both ends thereof as a range where the values of the sectional areas are larger than the minimum value.

Abstract: An oscillator is oscillated at a predetermined oscillation frequency. A detecting unit exerts Coriolis force on the oscillator. A repetitive control system applies an external force to the oscillator so as to cancel out the Coriolis force to achieve an angular velocity measuring operation at a high sensitivity and a high S/N ratio.

Abstract: An airbag apparatus for a front passenger's seat includes a case that includes a front storage area that has an airbag mounting plane and a rear storage area. A bottom wall of the rear storage area is located at a lower level than the airbag mounting plane of the front storage area. The airbag has a generally square conical contour whose top is disposed at the front end and includes proximate the front end a gas inlet port. The airbag is secured to the mounting plane of the case by the periphery of the gas inlet port. A lower folded-up portion that is formed by folding up a lower inflatable portion of the airbag is stored in the rear storage area of the case. The airbag apparatus further includes proximate left and right edges of an opening of the case in the rear storage area means for restraining emergence of the lower folded-up portion of the airbag from the opening of the case in an early stage of airbag deployment by holding down left and right end regions of the lower folded-up portion.

Abstract: The airbag for a front passenger's seat includes an inner panel comprised of a pair of left and right base cloths. Each of the base cloths has a band shape curved in a generally C shape. A circumferential edge of a communication area communicating left and right shoulder restraining portions of the airbag is constituted by a joint portion joining inner edges of the respective base cloths together. The joint portion includes a corner area having a large curvature. Each of the base cloths includes a reinforcing portion at its inner edge for preventing the corner area from being so deformed as to reduce the curvature thereof upon airbag deployment.

Abstract: An aliphatic polyester improved provided by using water positively as an initiator or/and a molecular weight-adjusting agent, is improved in moisture resistance. More specifically, a cyclic ester containing proton-source compounds including more than 80 ppm of water as an initiator or/and a molecular weight-adjusting agent, is subjected to ring-opening polymerization, and the resultant aliphatic polyester is compounded with a carboxyl group-capping agent to produce such an aliphatic polyester.

Abstract: Ring-opening polymerization of a cyclic ester is performed by using an alcohol and water positively as initiators or/and molecular weight-adjusting agents to control the initial properties and properties with time of the resultant aliphatic polyester. More specifically, an aliphatic polyester is produced by ring-opening polymerization of a cyclic ester containing water and an alcohol based on a total proton concentration and a ratio between a mol concentration of carboxyl (carboxylic acid)-source compounds including water and a mol concentration of alkoxycarbonyl (ester)-source compounds, as polymerization-controlling indexes.

Each of the left and right inner panels includes at the upper front end at full inflation a crossing edge that extends in a transverse direction on the airbag at full inflation. Each of the left and right outer panels includes at the upper periphery a central extended region that includes a joint edge for joint with the crossing edge of each of the inner panels. The central extended regions of the left and right outer panels are coupled together at their circumferences except the joint edges.

Abstract: The airbag apparatus is provided with a retainer that includes a hold-down portion for attachment of a periphery of a gas inlet of an airbag to the case, a cover wall surrounding an inflator body, deflectors and catches. The cover wall includes a plurality of outlet ports for releasing inflation gas exited discharge ports of the inflator body radially. The deflectors deflect the inflation gas exited the outlet ports in a range of angle from a direction orthogonal to an axis of the inflator body to a downward direction extending toward the hold-down portion. The catches capture residual particles contained in the inflation gas when the gas deflected by the deflectors hit them.

The glove of the invention has an anti-slip layer comprising pulverized fragments of a foamed melamine resin, or a mixture of pulverized fragments of a foamed melamine resin and NBR particles contained in a resin or rubber formed on the surface thereof. The pulverized fragments of the foamed melamine resin are particulate subfragments obtained by pulverizing the foamed melamine resin. The foamed melamine resin has a three-dimensional lattice structure, and the pulverized fragments of the foamed melamine resin obtained by pulverizing the foam have cut limbs extending three dimensionally, which are obtained by cutting the lattice parts.

Abstract: In the airbag device for front passenger's seat of the present invention, an airbag before being housed in the case and mounted on vehicle is folded up through a preparatory folding step and a regular folding step, the regular folding step further including a transverse folding step and a vertical folding step. In a preparatorily folding step, a portion near an upper edge of the passenger's side wall is located to confront the gas inlet port, and the passenger's side wall is flatly developed so as to overlap with a lower part of the circumferential wall. In the transverse folding step, a portion of the preparatorily folded airbag located rearward of the gas inlet port is folded back in two toward a lower side of a lower part of the circumferential wall to bring a rear end thereof closer to the gas inlet port. The airbag device of the present invention shifts an entire rear face of the deploying airbag rearward in a generally vertical condition.
