Abstract: A side airbag device for vehicle includes: a gas generator that is disposed in a seat cushion side part in a vehicular seat and generates a gas for inflation and deployment by actuation; and a side airbag in which the inside thereof is partitioned into an upper chamber and a lower chamber by a up-down dividing tether having a connecting hole and the gas from the gas generator is supplied to the lower chamber.

Abstract: In a present side airbag device for a vehicle, a side airbag has a main bag and an inner bag that is disposed within the main bag. When gas for inflation and expansion is supplied from an inflator to an interior of the inner bag, the inner bag, while inflating and expanding, supplies supplied gas to the main bag. Due thereto, the main bag inflates and expands. At a time of this inflation and expansion, internal pressure of the inner bag becomes higher than internal pressure of the main bag. However, the inner bag is structured so as to be positioned further toward a vehicle rear side than a front edge portion of a door-side side portion of a seat back as seen in side view.

Abstract: A vehicle occupant knee protection apparatus is provided in which the front end of an upper bracket is fixed to an instrument panel reinforcement, and a lower bracket and a knee panel are supported by the instrument panel reinforcement via the upper bracket. Thus, the vehicle occupant knee protection apparatus may be attached to the instrument panel reinforcement by, for example, preparing a subassembly by fixing the lower bracket and the knee panel to the upper bracket, and then fixing only the front end of the upper bracket to the instrument panel reinforcement.

Abstract: To provide an electronic book provision system that can make advertisements easily recognized by a user.

An advertising phrase acquisition unit (106) acquires the stored content of an advertising phrase storage unit (102) storing an advertising phrase such that the advertising phrase is associated with the replacement target phrase or the tags. An advertising phrase insertion unit (108) inserts the advertising phrases into the text of the electronic book based on the tags included in the text of the electronic book and the stored content of the advertising phrase storage unit (102).

Abstract: It is provided a side airbag in which a bag thickness can be made thicker, without an undue increase in size. In a side airbag, a side panel formed in a belt shape is sewn to peripheral edge portions of a pair of main panels placed facing each other, whereby an airbag body is formed. A tether disposed inside this airbag body is folded in such a way that both lengthwise direction sides of the tether are aligned in a direction in which the pair of main panels face each other. One long-side edge portion of the tether is sewn to the pair of main panels and to a front portion of the side panel, and both lengthwise direction sides of another long-side edge portion of the tether are superimposed on top of each other and sewn together.

Abstract: A vehicle side airbag device with a decreased load on the chest of passenger and an increased initial restraining performance resulting from a side airbag. In the side airbag device, a vent hole portion is formed from the stitching portion between a main panel and a side face panel being interrupted at a portion thereof. Flaps provided to the main panel and the side face panel are inserted from the vent hole portion into the chest chamber. The flaps close off the vent hole portion by means of the internal pressure of the chest chamber until the side airbag inflated and deployed between an occupant and a door trim. When the internal pressure of the chest chamber rise by means of chest chamber being compressed between the occupant and the door trim, the flaps are pushed out of an airbag main body portion, and the vent hole portion is opened.

Abstract: It is determined whether or not a subject operating an information terminal is a human without requiring a character input. A client device displays an authentication screen, sequentially acquires positional information on the authentication screen based on operation information which has been received, records a path which is indicated by the sequentially acquired positional information, and transmits the recorded path to an authentication server. The authentication server determines whether or not an operation indicated by the operation information is an operation performed by a human based on a fluctuation amount of the recorded path with respect to a path as a reference which is defined on the authentication screen.

Abstract: Lifting up of a side airbag toward a vehicle upper side when there is a side collision is suppressed or prevented. In a side airbag, a tether is provided that divides the side airbag into a lower chamber and an upper chamber. The tether is attached in an attitude that, viewed from a vehicle forward side, is inclined such that a vehicle width direction inner side thereof is higher than the vehicle width direction outer side. A gas jetting aperture is formed at a lower end portion of a diffuser of a gas jetting unit. The gas jetting aperture is disposed in the lower chamber and is oriented toward a lower face of the tether. Therefore, during a process of expansion of the side airbag, gas strikes the lower face of the tether, then strikes portions that have not yet unfolded, and flows downward.

Abstract: A transport vehicle that reduces shaking of a transport article includes a travelling unit, a transport unit, a fall prevention member, and a shaking reduction member. The travelling unit travels along a rail provided on a ceiling. The transport unit transports a transport article. The fall prevention member is rotatably supported such that it can rotate between a fall prevention position and a retracted position. The fall prevention member is, at the fall prevention position, below the transport article. A pushing portion of the shaking reduction member pushes against a side surface of the transport article with a pushing surface thereof in conjunction with the rotating of the fall prevention member from the retracted position to the fall prevention position. A lever portion of the shaking reduction member has one end supporting the pushing portion and the other end rotatably supported in a manner coaxial with the fall prevention member.

Abstract: A seat back board made from resin is fitted to side frames of a seatback frame from a seat rear side. A seat width direction outer side portion of the seat back board is integrally formed with a case portion that houses a side airbag device that is fixed to an outside face of the side frame. The presence of a side wall portion of the case portion suppresses a side airbag from expanding towards the seatback outside in a ball shape during initial inflation.
