Abstract:
A toroidal pressure vessel having extremely high pressure resistance has laminated latitudinal reinforcing fiber layers to improve a strength in a latitudinal direction of the pressure vessel. Moreover, putting reinforcing fibers constituting those laminated latitudinal reinforcing fiber layers in continuity enables further improvement of strength in the latitudinal direction of the pressure vessel, for example compared with a case where the reinforcing fibers are divided for each layer.
Abstract:
Chirped light pulses, the color of which changes regularly with time, are generated and applied to an object to be measured. A reflected light image of the chirped light pulses reflected from the object is acquired. Then, three-dimensional information of the object is acquired using two-dimensional information, color information represented by the reflected light image of the chirped light pulses, and the field of vision of the three-dimensional information to be acquired is enlarged.

Abstract:
Provided is a vehicle data recording device in which detection values of an acceleration sensor 210 and an driving status detecting sensor 220 are periodically and continuously recorded in a ring buffer 120, a detection value which has already been recorded in the ring buffer 120 is recorded in a specific recording area of a recorder 130 before a new detection value is recorded in the ring buffer 120 when a recording condition is satisfied, while the new detection value is periodically recorded in another recording area of the recorder 130, and recording is performed by the recorder 130 until all detection values which have already been recorded in the ring buffer 120 when the recording condition is satisfied are entirely recorded in a specific recording area of the recorder 130.
Abstract:
Described herein is an X-ray beam conditioning device that has a crystal holder and a motor. The crystal holder supports a first crystal block and a second crystal block, each of which diffracts X-ray by a specific diffraction angle. The motor can rotate the crystal holder around an axis extending at right angles to a plane including an optical axis of X-ray and can support the crystal holder and fixedly supporting the crystal holder at thus rotated position. The crystal holder holds the first and second crystal blocks at such angles to each other that both crystal blocks diffract X-ray. The optical axes of the two crystal blocks can be adjusted, merely by rotating the crystal holder about said axis, namely only one axis.
Abstract:
Reciprocal-space mapping measurement of X-ray diffraction requires setting of the measuring range of 2θ/ω and setting of the measuring range of ω. When the measuring range of ω is designated in absolute angle, the absolute-angle-designated range is converted into a relative-angle-designated range to be acquired; preventing setting of a warped measuring region. When the measuring range of ω is designated in relative angle, it is acquired as it is. For the measuring range of 2θ/ω, any one of the absolute-angle-designated range and the relative-angle-designated range may be acquired.
Abstract:
An electric shaver having a shaving head which can pivot and be depressed into the housing of the shaver. The shaving head is mounted on pivot shafts that can be moved toward the inside of the shaver housing, thus allowing the shaving head to be pressed into the housing but bounce back to the original position by vertical springs; and the shaving head also pivots about the pivot shafts but is forced back to its original and upright position by lateral springs.
Abstract:
An X-ray apparatus that creates a virtual source having a narrow energy bandwidth and enables a high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement; a method of using the same; and an X-ray irradiation method are provided. An X-ray apparatus 100 includes a monochromator 105 that focuses a divergent X-ray beam while dispersing it and a selection part 107 that is installed in a condensing position of the condensed X-ray beam for selecting an X-ray beam having a wavelength in a specific range, allowing it to pass through, and creating a virtual source. With this arrangement, it is possible to create a virtual source having a narrow energy bandwidth at a focal point 110 and by means of the virtual source a high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement is available. By using the X-ray apparatus 100, it is possible to sufficiently separate an X-ray beam having such an extremely narrow energy bandwidth as, for example, Kα1 ray from Kα2 ray. In addition, it is also possible to cut out part of continuous X-ray beams to create a virtual source.
Abstract:
An airbag deployment controller and a passenger protection device including the same are provided to prevent erroneous (false) operation of an airbag due to noises and quickly deploy the airbag. The passenger protection device determines whether or not to drive an airbag unit, upon determining a detected value of a front acceleration sensor as being over a first collision threshold. Then, when determining to drive the airbag unit, the passenger protection device determines whether or not a detected value of a central acceleration sensor exceeds a second collision threshold. With the detected value being over the second threshold, it generates a driving signal and outputs it to the airbag unit in a final deployment control process. Thereby, the airbag unit operates an inflator to drive an airbag.
Abstract:
Immediately before a robot 20 starts to move at a high speed, a monitoring area 53 is expanded in a returning direction Y, and absence of an obstacle in the monitoring area 53 is confirmed. During the high speed movement of the robot 20, the monitoring area 53 is expanded forward, so that a safety of an operator is secured, an effective use of a working station area can be made, and an improvement of productivity can be achieved.
