摘要:
An occupant protection apparatus protects an occupant sitting on a seat adjacent to a side door of a vehicle when a side collision or a rollover occurs. The occupant protection apparatus includes a push-up device for pushing up a part of a hip portion of the occupant adjacent to the side door when the side collision or the rollover occurs. In the occupant protection apparatus, when the side collision of the vehicle occurs, the push-up device pushes up the part of the occupant's hip to tilt an upper body of the occupant away from the side door. It is preferable that the push-up device includes an inflatable bag and a gas generator for inflating the bag.

A guide member for a curtain airbag that a pipe or rod shaped guide extending vertically relative to the vehicle body along a C pillar. The guide member includes, upper and lower fixing sections for fixing the upper and lower ends of the guide to the C pillar. The guide member also includes temporarily tacking sections for tacking the upper and lower fixing sections to the C pillar, when the guide member is mounted to the C pillar. The C pillar has temporarily-tacking-section insertion openings corresponding to the temporarily tacking sections. When the guide member is mounted to the C pillar, the temporarily tacking sections are inserted into the corresponding temporarily-tacking-section insertion openings for engagement, so that the guide member can be temporarily tacked to the C pillar.

An airbag apparatus includes an airbag having an interior divided into a plurality of chambers, and a gas generator for inflating the airbag so that gas is guided directly to each chamber from the gas generator. Further, a gas distributor having a plurality of gas outlets is attached to a gas outlet of the gas generator. The gas is supplied to the respective chambers through the gas outlets of the gas distributor.

An object is irradiated with a laser light modulated by a reflection type spatial light modulator such that aberration of the laser light converged inside the object becomes a predetermined aberration or less. Therefore, aberration of the laser light generated at a position on which a converging point of the laser light is located is made as small as possible, to enhance the energy density of the laser light at that position, which makes it possible to form a modified region with a high function as a starting point for cutting. In addition, because the reflection type spatial light modulator is used, it is possible to improve the utilization efficiency of the laser light as compared with a transmissive type spatial light modulator.

An object to be processed 1 is irradiated with laser light L with a standard pulse waveform, so as to form a molten processed region 131, which has a larger size in the thickness direction of the object 1 and is easy to generate a fracture 24 in the thickness direction of the object 1, within a silicon wafer 111, and with laser light L with a retarded pulse waveform, so as to form a molten processed region 132, which has a smaller size in the thickness direction of the object 1 and is hard to generate the fracture 24 in the thickness direction of the object 1, within a silicon wafer 112.

A method and apparatus for controlling an occupant restraint apparatus are provided which allow the force applied to a nearby occupant to be optimized in response to collision conditions. In one form, a method for controlling an occupant restraint apparatus includes detecting an obstacle in a travelling direction of a vehicle that may potentially collide with the vehicle; predicting a type of collision between the obstacle detected and the vehicle; setting conditions for expanding an airbag of the vehicle based on the collision type predicted; and controlling the expansion of the airbag and/or gas discharge from the airbag according to the conditions set at the setting step. Detecting the obstacle preferably includes detecting the position and relative speed of the obstacle with respect to the vehicle based on images of views in the travelling direction of the vehicle.

An occupant restraint device having a high degree of freedom in attachment of an airbag is provided. A retainer 16 is applied to the inner surface of a lower portion of an airbag 12. A stub bolt 20 projecting downward from the lower surface of the retainer 16 is inserted in a bolt insertion hole 12a of the airbag 12, and a first nut 24 is screwed on the stud bolt 20 via a backing plate 22 from outside the airbag 12. Thereby, the airbag 12 is connected to the retainer 16. A gas generator 14 is connected to the retainer 16 by a bracket 30. The stud bolt 20 is disposed on the rear side from a center line of the airbag 12.
摘要:
An object to be processed 1 is irradiated with a laser light L modulated by a reflection type spatial light modulator 203 such that aberration of the laser light L converged inside the object 1 becomes a predetermined aberration or less. Therefore, aberration of the laser light L generated at a position on which a converging point P of the laser light L is located is made as small as possible, to enhance the energy density of the laser light L at that position, which makes it possible to form a modified region 7 with a high function as a starting point for cutting. In addition, because the reflection type spatial light modulator 203 is used, it is possible to improve the utilization efficiency of the laser light L as compared with a transmissive type spatial light modulator. Such improvement of the utilization efficiency of the laser light L is particularly important in the case in which the modified region 7 serving as a starting point for cutting is formed in the plate-shaped object 1.

An airbag to be inflated by gas for a vehicle includes a base member for the airbag, an opening and closing vent provided in the base member, and a discharging gas control member for restraining gas from discharging from the opening and closing vent. The discharging gas control member closes or slightly opens the opening and closing vent when an occupant does not contact a front surface of the airbag facing the occupant when the airbag is inflated. The discharging gas control member opens or widely opens the opening and closing vent so as to allow the gas to be discharged from the opening and closing vent when the occupant contacts the front surface of the airbag, and the front surface is pushed in a direction opposite to the occupant.

An occupant protection device is provided which protects an occupant by inflating a seat bag and a lap bag. When a vehicle collision is detected, gas generators are activated and discharge gas. The gas from one of the gas generators inflates a tube. As a result, a front portion of a cushion pad of a seat cushion is pushed upward or hardened and the hips of the occupant are prevented from moving forward. A lap bag also inflates and restrains the hips of the occupant. In one form, a lap anchor inflates so that pretension is applied to a lap portion and the hips of the occupant are pushed downward. Therefore, the thighs and hips of the occupant are pushed between the lap portion and the front portion of the cushion pad which is pushed upward or hardened and are strongly restrained in the seat.
