Abstract: Each transmitter (4) included in a first transmitter group (40A) transmits, on a first electric wire (2A), a current signal representing a change in current in accordance with a transmission bit sequence. Each transmitter (4) included in a second transmitter group (40B) transmits, on a second electric wire (2B) that is connected in parallel with the first electric wire, a current signal representing a change in current in accordance with a transmission bit sequence. A current detection unit (6A) outputs an electric signal representing a change in a difference current between a first current (IA) flowing through the first electric wire (2A) and a second current (IB) flowing through the second electric wire (2B). A receiver (5A) identifies and receives a reception bit sequence corresponding to the transmission bit sequence of each transmitter (4) included in the first and second transmitter groups, by processing the first electric signal.

Abstract: A vehicle collision decision apparatus determines whether or not an occupant-protecting apparatus should be started in a collision by an occupant moving characteristics determining device. Also, whether or not the collision continues is determined in an acceleration change determining section. A determining threshold for a frequency component which indicates damage to the vehicle which is calculated in a frequency component calculating device is selected. The occupant-protecting apparatus is activated appropriately by monitoring the damage to the vehicle in the frequency component determining device by using the frequency component. By doing this, a vehicle collision decision apparatus which can determine the condition in the vehicle collision appropriately is provided.

Abstract: An image display device is arranged to convert analog video signals into digital video signals and display the corresponding image to the digital video signals. The image display device provides a variable delaying circuit for delaying an analog video signal of each color or a clock variable delay circuit for delaying a dot clock for generating each color dot clock and supplying each color dot clock as a conversion timing signal of an analog-to-digital converting circuit of the corresponding color. This kind of delay circuit is served to adjust a phase of the analog video signal or the dot clock of each color, thereby suppressing color blur even if the analog video signal contains skews among the colors.

Abstract: A retainer case accommodating an air bag and consisting of two separate parts, one being an open end side part terminating in an open end of the retainer case and the other being an inflator-secured end side part secured to the vehicle body, the open end side part and inflator-secured end side part being fitted together to form the retainer case. The open end side part of the retainer case is made less rigid than the inflator-secured end side part. When an impact is applied to the retainer case from the passenger compartment side, the open end side part undergoes a deformation and thus absorbs the impact. A stem of the air bag is secured to the retainer case with its edge clamped between the fitted portions of the open end side part and inflator-secured end side part of the retainer case.
