Abstract: A vehicle seat includes a seat back frame, an elastic installation supporting member installed in the seat back frame, and an airbag within a seat back, the vehicle seat causing the airbag to inflate and develop within the seat back. An inflator is attached to the seat back frame. The seat back frame has a substantially frame shape along a seat back shape. The airbag is provided in the seat back frame in the substantially frame shape. The inflator is attached to at least one of an upper portion and a lower portion of the seat back frame in the substantially frame shape. An inflation and a development of the airbag in the seat back due to an operation of the inflator allows the airbag to elastically support an upper body of a seated person and to elastically receive an impact force.

Abstract: A heat exchanger includes a tank, multiple tubes, a tube support member that supports the multiple tubes, and a shell body joined to the tube support member. The tube support member is cylindrical and includes a first-end cylindrical portion, a second-end cylindrical portion, and an intermediate cylindrical portion having a diameter smaller than that of the first-end cylindrical portion and having a predetermined length in an axial direction between the first-end cylindrical portion and the second-end cylindrical portion. The tank and the first-end cylindrical portion are welded to each other. The shell body and the second-end cylindrical portion are brazed to each other. Outer peripheral portions of the tubes are in contact with and brazed to an inner surface of the intermediate cylindrical portion.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant protection device includes an airbag module, an actuator, and a controller. The airbag module includes an airbag and an inflator that allows the airbag to develop. The actuator attaches the airbag module to a vehicle, to cause a change in relative positional relation between the vehicle and the airbag module. The controller determines a collision mode of the vehicle, on a basis of one or more of input information used in prediction of the collision mode, input information upon a collision of the vehicle, and input information on an internal situation of the vehicle, and controls the relative positional relation between the vehicle and the airbag module. The airbag module allows the airbag to be developed in a state in which the change in the relative positional relation between the vehicle and the airbag module is caused by the actuator.

Abstract: A vehicle seat airbag system includes an airbag which is caused by a vehicle seat airbag system to inflate and develop within a seat back. The airbag is disposed between a seat pad and a rear board provided in a rear of the seat back. Inflation and development of the airbag in the seat back allows the airbag to elastically support an upper body of a seated person, and causes the rear board to be pushed rearwardly to allow the airbag to elastically receive an impact force which is applied to the rear board.

Abstract: A vehicle seat airbag system includes an airbag which is caused by the vehicle seat airbag system to inflate and develop within a seat back. A plurality of elastic installation supporting members is provided within a seat back frame that forms the framework of the seat back of a seat for the vehicle. A seat pad is disposed on the front surface of each elastic installation supporting member. The airbag in a contracted state is disposed rearwardly of the elastic installation supporting members. All of these components are covered by an outer layer material in a bag shape. The airbag, which inflates and develops in the seat back due to a collision or the like, elastically supports the upper body of a seated person, and elastically receives an impact force which is applied to the rear of the seat back.

Abstract: In an internet having a server for providing service, a client for receiving the service, plural proxy servers for standing proxy for an access to the server done by the client, and a proxy server selecting server for noticing an IP (Internet Protocol) corresponding to a domain name of the client in response to an inquiry with the domain name added thereon, the proxy server selecting server receives a request message with the domain name of the server for providing the target service from the client. Then, the proxy server selecting server notifies the client of the IP address of the most approximate server to the client in place of the IP address of the server, based on the physical/logical location information, and if necessary, the periodically obtained load information of the proxy servers. The client recognizes the proxy server of the IP address given thereto as the server for providing the target service and then makes access to the proxy server.

Abstract: For realizing a system for uniformly operating and managing a network system capable of managing a plurality of types of logical networks for one network entity composed of a plurality of objects, information on network topologies is collected from each of the plurality of objects. Display data is created for each of a plurality of types of logical network topologies for each object in accordance with the collected information on network topologies. A control is conducted in accordance with the created display data so as to display a physical connection relationship, a logical connection relationship, and a virtual connection relationship on a virtual screen.

Abstract: A molding station for molding a colored product of a synthetic resin mixed with a colorant and a coating station for applying a colored clear coat to the surface of the molded colored product are disposed adjacent to each other for highly efficient production of colored clear coated, molded colored products. The molded colored product is charged directly from the molding station into the coating station. The hue of the molded colored product and the hue of the colored clear coat are seen as mixed to the eye. A plurality of hues may be available for each of the colorant and the colored clear coat, so that a variety of hues can be achieved on colored products by a combination of hues of the colorant and the colored clear coat without maintaining a large stock or inventory of different colorants or colored clear coats.
