Abstract: The present invention provides an energy conversion composition which has an excellent capability of absorbing and damping energy such as dynamic, thermal, or electric energy. The composition can be made into a very thin and small but excellent damping product. The energy conversion composition is characterized in that its base material contains a moment activator which can increase the amount of dipole moments in the base material. The energy conversion composition can be utilized as a vibration damping, sound absorptive, impact absorptive, vibration-proof, electromagnetic wave absorptive, piezoelectric, and endothermal material as well as a polarity liquid.

Abstract: A system-enabled vehicle entering a crossing warns a driver of the vehicle that a possibility of bumping exists, thereby allowing the driver to brake and stop the vehicle in an emergency in front of the crossing. When the system determines a possibility of bumping with another vehicle entering the crossing exists, the system continuously provides controls for decelerating and stopping the vehicle in a range from a point where the system can decelerate the vehicle in an emergency with time allowance for stopping the vehicle in front of the crossing up to a point in front of the crossing.

Abstract: The collision with pedestrian prevention system according to the present invention comprises pedestrian detection means, road surface conditions detection means, road information accumulation means, vehicle position detection means, vehicle state detection means, processing means, information output means, and vehicle control means. Because of the configuration, the driver is alerted the presence of any pedestrian on a pedestrian's crossing and can immediately correct operations for handling the vehicle without being perplexed by the information just about to finish crossing the road. This system works only when there is the possibility of collision between a pedestrian on a pedestrian's crossing and a vehicle, and provides automatic controls for decelerating or stopping the vehicle when the driver can stop the vehicle by emergently braking over a distance from the vehicle to the pedestrian's crossing.

Abstract: A generally tubular laminated acoustic damping pipe cover to be used on a water pipe to reduce the noise level of the pipe, having a sound insulation layer whose area density is 1.5-5.0 kg/m2 and a sound absorptive layer whose thickness is 4.0-10.0 mm, covered with a heat-contractile film which when heat treated will tighten the acoustic damping pipe cover on the water pipe but hold the pipe cover in a sliding fashion. The acoustic damping pipe cover is lightweight and easy to manipulate, and provides an excellent acoustic damping performance.

Abstract: A vibration damping coating is disclosed for use on cars, interior trims, construction materials, home electric appliances, etc. where damping of vibratory energy is desired. The coating contains in its base material mica flakes and calcium carbonate in a combined amount of 30-70% by weight. The weight proportion of the mica flakes and the calcium carbonate is 75/25-0/100. The vibration damping coating provides an excellent vibration damping property and will not crack or peel when used on a curbed surface.
